Would any one like to join me in a 12 week weight loss support circle? I'd like to begin Monday (1/24/11) and ending Monday (4/18/11) with a goal of losing at least 1.5 pounds a week........ I'm pretty new to this. My work outs will be at home and maybe some walks outside. Mostly I'll be cutting back on the crazy eating sessions and paying close attention to the suggested calorie intake I got from this site..... We can friend each other and go from there.........

    Hi, I'm interested also. I started using this site on Monday of this week and I can certainly use some extra motivation. I'll also be doing my exercises indoors until it's warm enough to walk outside.

    I think this is an excellent idea. We just started a community weight loss challenge onthe 17th for 12 weeks. We had 45 people sign up and many are on this site now since I found it. We started early to put walk to our talk (we aren't eligible anyway since we organized it) and I have had good results so far. We eat pretty healthy, it was the lack of exercise that shut our metabolism down.

    A good book to help you understand your relationship with food and understanding your temptations, is "Made to Crave". It is also entertaining. Written for women, I think men would agree with her insight comletely.

    This is an excellent website. Spend time personalizing it and use it to count EVERYTHING. I was surprised to see what benefits there were in the cinnamon I sprinkle on my oatmeal-2 grams of fiber.

    Bon Apetit'

    How are we going to keep track of who all is in the group (for monitoring and support) and how are we going to check-in with each other?

    Cinnamon...good idea. I never thought about that. I'm going to try it on my steel cut oats the next time I have them. Thank you for sharing.

    Sounds good. Meet everyone here next Friday (1/28/11) for a weight check-in.

    Love the idea of meeting on Fridays....of course maybe we should pop in everyday to see if anyone has questions about anything. We don't necessarily have to post each day, but just check. Also, maybe we should friend each other?

    I'm in. I need the accountability too. I've got to get off the menopause, night-shift weight that has been

    near-impossible to get off. Oh, and back surgery four months ago didn't help either. thanks

    I did get on the blog but I can't read it. The ink is almost the same color as the background. Did I mess up or something?
