    Hi everyone: It's Friday thank goodness. It was really hard coming back to work after the holidays. I've been doing okay in comparison to the holidays but I really do have to start cracking a whip under my butt and take this more seriously. I'm so sluggish and sleepy lately ... not enough exercising for sure. That's my goal. I want to do something every day (exercise class, exercise dvd, wii fit or Zumba game, geocaching, hiking, walking, swimming). Seriously, I love all of these things. Surely I can do one of them every day right?

    WOW everyone! We have 39 participants in the challenge! :) Pretty cool if I do say so myself!

    I am only missing a few weights (ckholmes; jensueferrell; sharina1985; jamie17; kizzy_muss; twimama; sabell82; SayRah; gremlinsurfer_514)

    This is really fun to 'organize!' I hope everyone is doing well today and not discouraged by the number on the scale. It's week only week one!

    I'm also training for a bike race in April, so I'm not sure how much weight I'll be able to lose without putting on muscle weight too. Really hoping to lower my body fat percentage overall. Weight goals are somewhat secondary until then, but this looks like a great tool to help me keep my eyes on the prize!

  • I'm hoping it's not too late to join!

    I joined MFP this week because I have really been struggling with losing weight. I keep putting it off and saying I'll start "Monday"...... I think this challenge would be a great way to keep me accountable for what I eat and how much I exercise.

    I'm going to Paris in May for my honeymoon and really want to get back down to the weight I was a few years ago! So here it goes:

    Three Month goal: 160 lbs
    Week 1 (1/7) - 175 lbs
    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) -
    Week 9 (3/4) -
    Week 10 (3/11) -
    Week 11 (3/18) -
    Week 12 and the END (3/25) -

    Happy Weekend Everyone: I won't get to the gym today ... I'll pop in my Zumba DVD at some point today to get my daily exercise done ... it will take up less time then heading out ... I have a ton of housework to do and Christmas decorations to take down and laundry to do ... man ... might be less strenuous if I go to the gym :laugh:

    It is really really hard. I love it when she says "there is no modification for a jumping jack! I have 400 pound people who can do a jumping jack, and so can you!" Love to hate that lady :)

    Hi guys,
    I was just going through some old stuff of mine in my gym bag and found a paper my old trainer gave me. She is credible and has a million success stories. Her husband is a nutritionist as well. They have a studio here in Michigan. 3dFit is it's name. Anyways, I copied it and pasted it into here for anyone to reference. I can't answer specific questions but take it for what it's worth. It might just be a good guide for what to do every day! I followed this schedule for a whole summer and lost about 30 lbs, that was about 7 years ago.

  • Add me too! This is a great idea! I can't wait. I hope that we can all help each other be accountable and offer support. It definitely helps!

    SW- 203.6
    CW- 198.3
    GW- 160 (by July)

    I would love to lose 15lbs by the end of March to reach 183.

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend and staying on plan :) I have done ok with the food portion, not doing real well with the exercising. I am hoping this week will be better for that.

    Also, could someone explain how to get the list with the weigh in dates to stay as your signature. I have tried to copy and paste it and then add it to my signature, but it keeps saying that my signature can only be 10 lines long. There must be another way to do it, but I am just too computer illiterate to figure it out..LOL :ohwell:

    Wishing you all a great week of eating healthy!
