    I just weighed in and am 220lbs. A bit disappointed, but after a heavy weekend, I'm pretty sure I'm retaining water, so hopefully will see a bigger loss next week. And a loss is a loss, right?! Good luck everyone!

    I just weighed myself and am still stuck at 191, at least I didn't gain! Hopefully I'll have a better week this week. I was stuck indoors with an ice storm and was out of my regular routine.

    Weighed in at 252, down two pounds since last Monday. I was hoping for more but because I absolutely binged at a Super Bowl Party yesterday I am fine with the two pounds!

    That is so funny - I had been thinking about the costume I would wear if I got the weight off as well. Want to be a genie. My initial goal is 60 pounds, after that I was going to re-evaluate. See if I'm happy there, or if I want to go for an additional 20. I'm already down fifteen though from January - will that disqualify me?

    Starting weight 220 (second week of January)
    Current weight 205
    Goal weight 160 (maybe 140, we shall see)

    I try to get in atleast two of these activities daily. Gym work out consisting of minimum 40 minutes of cardio, and rotating days of leg/trunk/arm strength training. 90 minute Bikram yoga class. These two are my foundation and try to hit them minimum of five days a week each. To mix things up, I also ride horses, hike, run on the treadmill, occasional zumba or spin class.

    Look forward to seeing everyones costumes,
    Tivona.

    Is it too late for another? It's not only my daughter's 2nd birthday on the 31st but I'm going on holiday to Tenerife the week before so was looking to lose about 2lbs a week until then which would be roughly 60lbs...

    My SW was 303lbs (17th January)
    My CW is 290.8
    GW is 230 by 31st October.
    Exercise programme is EA Sports Active 30 day challenge (currently half way through) and cardio and strength training at the gym 3 times a week.
    Don't know about halloween costume but I'd sure like a smaller swimming costume for my holiday!!

    Hopefully you'll let me join in - would be good to be held accountable for the long term...

    I'm totally shocked to see new people joining this challenge! You're all more than welcome to join in! :love:

    I am without internet at home, so I'm at Borders right now using their wi-fi XD I just wish I was near a plug :sad: Long story on the whole "no internet" thing, and we tried getting direct tv but the neighbor's trees would be blocking the signal! :grumble:

    But I will be working on the chart, and I will be changing the Google document to be a form so everyone can pick their names and put their weights in a such :)

    And now I'm next to a plug so I can do what I need to do without worrying about my computer dying! Ha ha! :bigsmile:

    Okay, here is the Google Form I want everyone to use so it can be a little easier on me to collect everyone's weights!
    https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dEE4Uk8xS3QtNlRwQm81bFp6SS1Fd2c6MQ

    Also, here is the updated chart! :)

    @elliespencr & aspencer - I'm glad you two want to join! And you're more than welcome to! Thank you for joining my challenge! ;w;

    Just updated both my personal chart and the google document so everything should be good now! I'm kind looking forward and not looking forward to weigh-in day. I weighed myself today and I was up 0.8lbs (325). Hoping it's just muscle gain possibly :(

    And I'll put the new chart up next week, so I don't have to keep posting the chart every few posts XD

    Ok, so I am cheating a little bit - didn't want to change my weigh in day, Fridays are working great for me. Help keep me motivated over the weekend. So used last Friday's weight for last week, and today's weigh in for this coming Monday. Also, I am not on "real" comupters much, so am taking advantage of the fact I am actually sitting in front of one to enter info in the chart.

    Good luck everyone, keep up the good work!

    Tivona.

    Apologies for not weighing in on the 7th, I've been curled up on the sofa feeling like death warmed up for most of the week and completely forgot :( I WILL be weighing in in the morning and posting here.
