    Good morning!! I have been in the group a while but haven't participated as much as I should. One of my goals for 2014 is to participate more in challenges/groups. I have been on my journey for 2 years and I have lost and regained the whole time to the point I am now at my highest weight. As I entered into 2014, I have decided to stop going down and then back up and to just keep the scale and inches going down until I reach my goal.

    SW/CW 331.6
    GW for Challenge 30lbs


    Steps to achieve goals

    1. Eat as clean as possible
    2. One meatless day a week
    3. 70-100 oz of water a day
    4. Workout a minimum of 4 times a week
    5. Stay under daily calorie goal (currently 2000)


    NSV for this challenge:
    Be more flexible
    Sleep better
    Complete a 5k in 45-60 minutes
    Get down to a size 18-20 (currently at at 22-24)

    Hey ladies! Checking in & I completely forgot about the jump jacks challenge. Sorry! I haven't loss any weight this week so my goal this week is to push myself a lil harder. I am starting to get a lil discouraged. So much is going wrong but I'm trying to maintain a positive attitude through it all.

    Welcome new members!

    I'm in as well! I've been on this site for quite a while but this is the first time I'm serious about the weight loss. I reached a point where I have disgusted myself. Time to make changes!!
