    I want to join however I caution you that I am a mom .... BUT... I was almost 200 pounds before I had the kids and my kids are older so I can't use "post baby" as an excuse! Please let me play with you! LOL

    No baby to blame here either. My weigh-in day is Monday and I'd love to join you...

    I think the post pregnancy weight is just an excuse. No one really wants to blame themselves.

    ok what are your goals? fitness & weight-wise?
    right now I weigh myself monthly, on the 30th of every month so:
    Aug 30: 183 (high weight, I've just gotten back on the bandwagon!!)
    GW: 145

    I hope to be 175-ish when I weigh in on Thursday morning!

    as for fitness, right now I bike every morning with my dog (today was 4.5 miles in 30 minutes) take walk with a friend of mine (skipped today cause it started raining but last week Friday was 1.78 miles) and today I'm starting a free 30 day trial at a gym so I'll do whatever cardio equipment they have. My goal is to get in 35 miles this week (mon-fri, weekends are bonus)

    GW: 170-ish? we'll see.

    i work out five days a week at the gym, taking classes:

    m: turbo kick, arm weights
    t: step jump pump, leg weights
    w: bosu, pilates
    th: metabolic training, arm weights
    f: power sculpt, step and sculpt

    i also try to go hiking over the weekend, which is pretty new to me. actually, all of this is pretty new to me! went on a 5 mile hike with my husband on saturday, and that burns calories like crazy! my goal right now is to *stay on track* and get to my classes each day. i wrote out a schedule that last for 8 weeks, and i keep thinking that if i actually do all this for that long, i am going to change so much! and if i can do this for 8 weeks, then i must really love it and can do it forever!

    as for eating, i try to eat well, but in moderation. for example, every monday i eat a junior homewrecker burrito from moe's and i go to cold stone creamery. i love junk food. that's just how it is. but i've found out that i can still lose weight and eat what i want, so long as it's in moderation! maybe as i get more and more involved with this, that craving will diminish. we'll see.

    i don't want to be super-skinny, but i do want to be able to wear what i want and be more fit!

    1) how do you like bosu? I tried it once and do NOT have the balance for it!! lol
    2) you mus live by me! lol i have a moe's and a coldstone right next to eachother nearby, sooo tasty :)
    3) I agree about the super skinny, I have no desire to be a size 2, however if I could fit back in my size 8's I would be in heaven!!!

    I work 7 days a week so I don't have time to do any fitness classes...and I don't know if I could even keep up. I do, however, go to the gym about 5 times a week..but I don't necessarily have "days off"..if I CAN go everyday I WILL go everyday...if my husband and I have a date night then I take the night off. Because I work so much, I have to work out AFTER work...so that's how that works for me.

    This is my first time ATTEMPTING to lose weight, on PURPOSE. I think I'm gonna keep it going as far as I can! So far I'm down 11 pounds. I've got a lot more to go but I lost all 11 in one month! That's something to be proud of myself for. I've cut out fast food...I was alwayssss eating fast food. I also don't drink pop (I'm Canadian, so yes, I said pop).

    I weigh myself every either Saturday or Sunday...depending on whether or not I can sneak in to the gym to jump on the scale before work or not. I definitely weigh myself every week. I like the little surprises. I don't have the patience to wait an entire month although being oblivious until you see a more dramatic number does sound fun.

    I pretty much do strength training first then hop on some type of cardio...I push myself more and more everyday on the eliptical. I did 45 minutes yesterday and burned 500 cals!! WOW for me that is huge! I have so much room to improve though lol.

    I don't weigh in until 15th November but I do measure myself every saturday! Let's do this xxx

    I measure too, i weigh in every monday (just started, today is 2nd monday i'll weigh myself)...how often do you measure? do you do chest, waist, hips? when i saw "neck" on here where you keep track of your measurements, i chuckled a little, so i just put my chest size where the "neck" measurement is.

    right now i'm 42-42-46 i think? let me double check on my tools menu

    hehe I say pop too, I'm from Ohio, didnt realize Canadians called it pop too!

    I was doing weekly but could easily get discouraged by a bad weigh-in. I fell off the wagon big time and am just getting back on, I wanted to give myself plenty of time to ease back into it before starting to weigh again :)

My goal is to get in 35 miles this week (mon-fri, weekends are bonus)

    My goals are to be fit and healthy and a nice size. Ideally I would like to be under 154lbs but as mine is mostly fitness related this may change depending on how much muscle I get! xxx

    The only starting measurement I can remember is my thigh which was 75cm, my trainer wont tell me the rest!! Lol at you thinking neck/chest! I just want to see if the exercises I do help my neck! They are now:

    Neck : 36.5cm ( 14inches)
    Thigh: 62.5cm ( 24 inches)
    Chest: 102cm ( 40 inches)
    Waist: 119.5cm (47inches)
    Hips: 132cm ( 52 inches).

    last time I was weighed was 3 weeks ago and I weighed in at 229lbs.

    Aw that's good! I am off to bed now - I have horrid period pains and I am back to work tomorrow after 2 weeks off because I had too many attacks of angioedema in a short space of time :( not looking forward to it as I know I will be washed out after today! xxx
