Let's DO IT!!!

    I have never tried any of the challenge groups before, maybe it's time :-) How do you want it to work? (Weigh ins here, or go by tickers, etc?) Not sure if I am ready to post my actual weight, though... sounds stupid, I know... :embarassed: but think I need a challenge to keep me going.

    This is a great idea! Perhaps we could post our weekly weight loss :)
  • Remember, just because its the weekend, doesnt mean you should sit around and watch TV while eating buttery popcorn lol. Get out side and get some fresh air and fitness. Thats the way relaxation should be (recovery workouts) not doing nothing :)

    Go get it!!

    I'm in! Challenges really keep me going.
  • Just signed up for myfitness pal today, so this is perfect timing!!
  • I'm in! It would be nice to have some motivation. I am a mother with a 3 year old boy. I was thin my whole life and never really had to diet until I gained 55 lbs with my pregnancy and have not had motivation to lose the weight. I turn 30 on September and have decided there's no better time to focus on getting healthy again!

    Edit: I signed up yesterday so I'm excited to start!

    Sounds great! I am leaving on vacation on May 29th so this fits in perfectly! So we all log our weights on Sunday morning and then go from there?

    I'm definitely in!!! My goal is to log every day and weigh in once a week. Looking forward to motivation of the challenge.
    I'm going to treat myself to some new scales today. :flowerforyou: It finally feels like Spring here in Ontario so getting out for a walk is another goal. Feels like I've been on the couch for months.

    Good luck everyone!

    I'm in! I had a miserable winter and did nothing but hide in my blankets. Now we don't even have spring because It's still snowing here! Well today is supposed to be nice I hope it stays this way! Needless to say my motivation has been ZIP! That's what I get for living in Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula I guess lol On the plus side I didn't gain any weight while hiding I just didn't lose any either....
