WOW! We have over 100 participants in the challenge! This is so exciting! We have a few more days to prepare, and then it is time to go full speed ahead!

Just so we are all on the same page:

-We are posting starting weights on January 1st
-Taking a starting photo January 1st, but not revealing it until March 1st along with at that time what is a current pic...and then all three pics June 1st.
-We will weigh in everyday Friday....I will start a new thread each week for weigh-ins starting with (***Snowflakes to Sunshine Challenge Week 1***)
-Also on January 1st we will list our exercise goals (i.e. x a week, length of time, and exercises)
-Everyday you can feel free to post anything motivational, questions, struggles, or successes)
-If weight is not posted for 2 consecutive weeks...you will be removed from the list


I am hoping that we all stay through until the end. If for some reason, you are no longer interested in the challenge, throughout its duration...please feel free to message me and let me know so that I can remove you from the list.

I am SOOOOO excited about us starting on this journey together. I know that it will be so wonderful to have other's keeping us accountable and wanting to reach the same goal.

Good Luck Everyone! Let's do this thing!

    Hi! Can I sign up for this too? I'll be at a wedding on Saturday out of town, but can I still join if I turn my weight in on Sunday?

    I have never did something like this before and this is defintly a good idea for people to come together and work for the same goals. It is very inspiring. This is a great journey to walk in to at the beginning for the year! Hard work and faith in ourselves will get us to our goals!
    Cant wait to start!

    Added 2 new workout songs to my iPod... took weight & measurements today to keep myself honest until our official start (I have 2 birthday parties, a new year's party & one more family Christmas party before we start on the 1st!)

    Bought veggies & low-fat dip for the new year's party - making a low-fat whole wheat veggie lasagna for the party tomorrow....

    This group is gonna rock!

    Thanks Krys_T!

    So stoked!!!! Took my before pictures today :) and measurements. Can't wait to weigh in and put up goals.

    I love to take my before pictures and progress with the same clothes on so you can really see the difference in the way the outfit fit. :)

    Hope everyone remembers to measure themselves it is so awesome to see how many inches you actually loose :)

    Will the post be up Friday to start? I am weighing myself friday because I know I will have some drinks and will be bloated Saturday LOL.

    Love the idea of this! I'll have to post my weight on Friday 31st (I'm out on New Year's Eve and not sure how I'll be feeling on New Year's Day!!!!).
    I'm on holiday with my extended family in July and need some extra motivation!

    I'm also hosting a Postcard Challenge for 2 weeks, so I'll be doing this alongside that!

    Good luck everyone!
