    Thank you everyone for checking in. Look at the weight you all have lost! See you are fully capable of anything that you set your mind to. If you haven't weighed in today yet, please do so today. I will delete anyone who hasn't. I am not trying to be mean, but I have 2 jobs and a 2 yr old, so my time is so limited, so I will only spend the time I have helping people who are serious about trying to lose weight. If you don't show up, that tells me your not serious about trying to lose weight. Today I burned 600 calories at the gym by alternating treadmill and elliptical. I went to the gym with a friend and as we talked on the machines, the time flew by. And I looked down and saw 250 cals burned then went to the treadmill for the other 350. I have 2,900 calories left to go this week. If you do this challenge I think you will get a big weight loss at next saturdays weigh in. The 2nd week is the toughest to lose in any weight loss plan. Whatever you did this week, double it. You can do it. I believe that all of you can lose the 50 lbs way before July 1st!!!!

    Starting Weight (On January 1st 2011): 225
    Goal by July 1st, 2011 (can be more than 50 lbs, whatever you wish for): to lose the 50lbs and be at 175 (Wow that looks so skinny at the moment)
    Why do you want to lose 50+ pounds?: I actually want to lose 75 so this helps me in achieving that goal. I want to get to the average weight so I can look in a mirror and be happy with what I see. To be able to run again and chase my kids without losing my breath.

I walk 30 minutes on the treadmill, do leg lifts and twists on a spinning board (not sure if they count but the body feels it)
