How this Will Work...

Options
The week of Xmas, we'll create a topic where we can all list our starting point. Each Saturday after that, we will have a weekly check-in link where we record lbs lost or gained, total exercise minutes for the week and any other personal goal updates.
Whomever is first to check-in on any given Saturday can create the new thread.

Feel free to invite other supportive and motivated people to join.

Good luck everyone and we'll start chatting here before we know it - December is flying by!

-Jen

    Hi I would love to join in especially since my 32nd is in March and my youngest will be 3 on the 16th {almost had a St Pattys Day baby then her name would had to be an irish name like her sisters lol} but Im going to be going away from the 21st til the 28th or so driving long distances so I wont get much active for that week plus wont be able to log in til after that......Is that fine?

    Absolutely it is fine! No doubt we will all have some weirdness between Xmas and the New Year, but this is a supportive bunch and we will power through it! Welcome aboard!

    Thanks for creating the group Jen. I'm looking forward to continuing our weight loss challenge together. Plus I'm really going to have to step it up and get into great shape before my sister's wedding in April.

    Welcome to the new members! You will find we are a pretty easy going bunch. No threats here that you will get kicked out of the group if you miss a log-in, go over your calorie goals, etc. We are just a supportive group of people who help each other stay motivated.

    Holy crap - are there groups like that?! I'm staying right here with all of you wonderful people. You have all kept me off gummy bears for a couple months now. Why go anywhere else? :)

    Hey everybody :) I am new to this group, but have been looking specifically for a group with a goal for St Pattys Day because that's the day I started falling for my hubby(who's name is ironically Patrick lol) :P So it's kind of special to me. I want to lose about 10 lbs by then, which will put me at my ultimate goal weight. I will weigh myself and post tomorrow! (it was 9 lbs last week, but I have no doubts I may have gained a lb over the holidays) : )

    I am excited to start this challenge with you all! xx

    Hi Everyone….I need to drop the 15 by St. Patty's because we have a newborn due date and I won't have time after that. I'm looking forward to the challenge and support.
