    I want in! I've never done a challenge before, but I think I definitely need the accountability.
    Here's my stats:
    SW: 197
    CW: 181.4
    GW: 145--150

    I just got Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred, so I'm going to do that. I have really, really bad arthritis in my right knee, so I just hope I'm able to do it without injury or pain (minus muscle pain, I'm all for that!!).

    Three Month goal:
    Week 1 (1/7)(My birthday weekend! Aagghh cake!!) -
    Week 2 (1/14) -
    Week 3 (1/21) -
    Week 4 (1/28) -
    Week 5 (2/4) -
    Week 6 (2/11) -
    Week 7 (2/18) -
    Week 8 (2/25)(Valentine's trip w/ my hunny) -
    Week 9 (3/4) -
    Week 10 (3/11 )-
    Week 11 (3/18) -
    Week 12 and the END (3/25) -

    I'm up for it! I'm in a couple of challenges from one month to 6 months so this is a great in-between motivator to keep me going :happy: I was at my heaviest (that I know of) of 181.5 at Thanksgiving '10. I had gained 20 lbs in less than 4 months and was horrified so I joined MFP and dropped 6 lbs since then. I'm starting with a goal of 140 by this summer and eventually hope to be down to 120-125 although I've had an althetes body so it's going to be really hard to drop that low with the muscle I gain. Its more about the inches and how I fit into clothes than the number on the scale for me :smile:

    Three Month goal: 158 lbs
    Week 1 (1/7) -
    Week 2 (1/14) -

    Week 9 (3/4) -
    Week 10 (3/11 )-
    Week 11 (3/18) -

    Wonderful! :) I'm glad people keep joining!! I'll keep updating the list. Just to clarify, starting weight and week 1 weight may be the same or different. Starting weight will be what your starting weight to MFP was (or heaviest) and week one weight will be Friday and we will measure from there!

    I'm in! I am shooting in the dark at mini-goals because I am just starting but I have given it a little thought. Here goes nothing!
    Three Month goal:
    SW-227
    Week 1 (1/7) - 226
    Week 2 (1/14) - 224
    Week 3 (1/21) - 222
    Week 4 (1/28) - 220
    Week 5 (2/4) - 218
    Week 6 (2/11) - 216
    Week 7 (2/18) - 214
    Week 8 (2/25) - 212
    Week 9 (3/4) - 210
    Week 10 (3/11 )- 208
    Week 11 (3/18) - 206
    Week 12 and the END (3/25) - 204 (And REALLY close to ONEderland!!!)

    Now I need to get my butt exercising! I was exercising before Thanksgiving when I had strep. Since then I have had strep 2x and also 2 colds! I wasn't watching what I was eating but I was getting all these compliments about all the weight I lost (I don't think I lost a stinking pound). I felt great getting out and walking an hour a day by myself in the morning, kid free!! Hopefully this challenge will be my motivation to get back to it!! Looking at the #s and thinking I could be in ONEderland in April is an AMAZING thought!!!

    Best of luck to everyone!!

    I would love to join in on this. I will be 41 next month and I need to get back on the road to good health. I was doing really great for about a year in 2007. I lost 43 lbs. after being at an all time high of 161 lbs. on a barely 5'5" frame. I ended up losing too much weight and everyone was concerned. Of course, once I really gave myself permission to actually gain weight, I went a little overboard I guess. It was gradual at first. I was about 125 in Feb. of 2008, but that year the gym I used to go to closed down and I really cut down on my working out. The eating was getting worse and I hovered around the mid 130's by 2009. In fall of 2009, I had a gall bladder attack and was just eating soup and bread for about 2 mos. but the holidays were right around the corner and I ate everything in sight. 2010 I just didn't take care of myself at all. I started leading a more sedentary life and even though there were small attempts, I never really got serious. I have now crept back up to 150 - 152. If I keep going, I will be right back to where I started. I know I can do this but I do best with support and a challenge is always good.

    Hi Kerribb37!
    I would love to join (as long as it's not too late) :S
    My current weight is 154.9, and my goal weight is 136.4 pounds (lol sorry for the random numbers, i'm converting kgs to pounds here). But yeah, 136.4 pounds would be amazing :)

    I wasn't exactly sure how to set this up, but i've created mini goals each week up until the end :)

    Three Month goal:
    Week 1 (1/7) - (current weight)- 154.9
    Week 2 (1/14) - 152.7
    Week 3 (1/21) - 150.5
    Week 4 (1/28) - 148.3
    Week 5 (2/4) - 146.1
    Week 6 (2/11) - 143.9
    Week 7 (2/18) - 141.7
    Week 8 (2/25) - 139.5
    Week 9 (3/4) - 137.3
    Week 10 (3/11 )- 136.4
    Week 11 (3/18) - maintain weight
    Week 12 and the END (3/25) maintain weight
    I've set my goals weekly, so that i lose 2.2 pounds (1kg) per week. And then by week 10 if all goes to plan, i will have reached by goal weight and will have to maintain until the end. If not i'll keep going until then and hopefully reach it.
    Thanks for organising this, and i'm actually looking forward to trying my new jillian michales workout dvds :)
