    Are you going to start a new topic when Jan 1st rolls around? To make it easier to keep up with instead of everyone saying "IM IN!" LOL :)

    I am definitely IN! It has been so hard for me to loose the weight because I do not have the support I need to stay on track. Hopefully with the joining of this challenge, I can be held accountable by those who are IN! I am still trying to loose the baby weight from 4 years ago. In addition, I want to be healthy for my children and fit into those sparkly Banana Republic pants I still have in my closet from like 9 years ago. 196 pounds with 50 or more to loose.......I AM IN!:bigsmile:


    SW: 196.5 pounds
    GW: 135 - 140 pounds

    I personally plan on sharing my stats on January 1st. So everyone can send me their beginning stats on that day.

    I will start a new thread on the 1st, so we can have a clean start to the thread. It will be titled "Snowflakes to Sunshine 40lb Challenge"

    If anyone else has any suggestions, please let me know. I am more and more excited as it gets closer!

    Perfect timing!! I would love to join this challenge. I love the name and I also love the accountability factor - please feel free to boot me out if I don't check in! It will keep me going.

    I am also pretty new here so all of you will probably see some friend invites from me! It will be easier to communicate with all the challengers that way. :)

    Good luck everyone! Enjoy your holidays!

    What is everyone doing for the Holidays this year? I actually just moved about 2 weeks ago from one side of the country to the other and are waiting for all of our stuff to get here LOL. Should be a memorable Christmas that is for sure!!!

    I hear ya! I just moved from California to Georgia in January...so this is going to be my first Christmas away from my family...which is definitely sad. All of my Fiancee's family is here...but you know its not the same.

    So we will be going to a couple of his family members homes and doing the dinner thing.

    I will say the best thing for me about the move is..I had a lot more time to exercise and less distractions in my weight loss journey...because I'm not going out to dinner and lunches with friends and not having all the big Sunday dinners at my family's house. So I guess everything happens for a reason lol

    But I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and everyone PLEASE be careful out there on those roads!

    just an idea how about we all take a before shot??? and three months after we take a half way after shot and on june 1st we take an after shot??? we don't post the january shots on the board til after we take the 3 month shot and we post them side by side? we take a front shot, side shot, and back shot? of course it would be in the same clothes in all the pictures as well so we can really tell the difference with the same clothes that we took the pictures in....do i make any sense?

    That's a great idea Kizzy! I was definitely thinking about this because I think sometimes its hard to see your progress in the mirror...and a lot easier in a picture! I'm all for it! What do we think team?!

    Love this idea! I have been playing Kinect with my kids and have been so pleased with the pictures seeing me active and almost 30 pounds lighter than summer. I can't wait to see the differences from January to mid-March, and then to June 1! This site is great, and allof you make this journey much more fun!
    Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year to all!

    Oooh, I'm definitely in! This challenge sounds great, thanks for making it. :)

    Fridays work for me and before and after pictures sound like a great idea.

    I'm re-starting after losing 20 pounds a few months ago, so I'm new on this site.
    Feel free to add me, I'm looking forward to being motivated and helping to motivate you guys!

    Ok team! So 2 more days to join the challenge team! If you have any friends that are interested, please let them know. After the 28th I will be compiling a list of all the participants and plugging in starting weights. My other question is do we want to include starting measurements as well (waist, arms, thighs, and chest)? Or would this be too much. These would be updated every month instead of every Friday with the weight. I just don't want anyone to get discouraged if they don't see numbers drop as quickly because as we all know...inches make a HUGE difference as well.


    FYI: I will be starting a new thread in a minute, entitled "Snowflakes to Sunshine Challenge". I know there were people on here that said they were IN...but I want to get an accurate total and list.
