    Hello all,

    Count me in too, please! I feel very motivated most of the time, but I would love a good support group for those blah days.

    Will you make a group for this? If so count me in. I would ilke to lose a considerable amount by the 1st of August - my 40th birthday. I WOULD like to lose 19kg by then but that's probably a little unrealistic considering I am losing about 1kg a week at the moment.

    Great!! So many people up for this challenge!!. Basically I thought we could make this super casual. The goal is to loose as much as possible in 8 weeks, beginning Monday 5th May. We can use this thread for motivation, tips on exercise and recipes. I have also signed up for the FREE 8 week challenge exercise program, for those who haven't signed up - I'm happy to share the info.

    Seems that we are all in this together, I thought Id share a little about myself. So, I am a 31 year old mum living is Brisbane. I have a 4 yr old, and a 7 mth old. I have a few special events coming up around August so hope to loose 2kgs per week before then. My long term goal is to loose about 20kgs, I guess that's where my count down starts 20KGS! My plan at the moment is:

    Exercise

    6km walk p/day combination of outdoor walk & elliptical cross trainer
    Jillian Michaels 30 day shred workout (free on youtube)
    Gym 2x p/week

    Diet

    High Protein/Low carb diet
    XT50
    Aitkens shakes

    Supplements
    Fish Oil
    Vital Greens
    Beast2 Shredded.

    I look forward to hearing what your plans and goals are as well, so please feel free to share :)
