    Hey all,

    The group is set up, and I put all of the names on the thread in the group. I will post some more information about the structure I had imagined:

    Weekly, or bi weekly weigh in
    Photos if desired
    Challenges posted every week, or twice a week (such as, try one new vegetable, or do ten push ups every morning for the week, something like that, we alternate on who proposes the challenges too!)
    Thoughts about progress
    Most importantly, to motivate yourself and others to maintain focus on respective goals.

    @mandeez, I will go ahead and put your name on the list as I just saw your post
    @kn081083 I am not eating back my exercise calories, as I think that a combo of restricted calorie intake and expanded calorie output will yield the best results for me! What are you doing?

    I've found other people and their journeys to be so inspirational and motivating. Hopefully we can all do the same for each other :)

    Hi,
    I just sent you all invitations. I think it would be great if we could keep the group open for the next couple of weeks while we get rolling! I will send out invites for new members each evening!
