    Pretty new to the site, never done a challenge, but I want in! :) 10 pounds is exactly what I want to lose at the moment.

    You are all AWESOME!! I'm so glad that we all have goals and are willing to do this! So I'm going to wait until sometime tonight to cut-off signing up for this challenge and then I will hopefully have groups assigned tonight or tomorrow in order to make a friendly little competition, kind of like the biggest loser :) This way it will be easier than trying to keep up with 20+ entries! Let me know if this is a good idea or if you'd rather just do it forum style where we all just post on here our updates?

    I don't mind either although I'd be interested in how everyone who wants in has done.

    I would be interested to know how other people are doing their weight loss. Is it just cutting out rubbish food, or a specific diet, exercise etc.

    Can I join too? Started on Monday and wanna lose 16lbs. I think this is a great idea and a great motivator as you can easily slip into bad habits once the weight starts to come off.

    I am in. I am trying to tone up and working the half-marathon training plan. So I plan to run 3 times a week, strength-train twice a week and one day of stretch-like yoga. I also have a plan of mini rewards for every week I stay on track. week 1-makeup, week 2-spa day, week 3-haircut, week 4-facial, week 5-massage, week 6-new bikini. that's all I have so far. The key for me is getting my gym bag packed so I have no excuses not to hit the gym before I can do anything else.
    Nutritionally, I try to stay in my cals for the day but probably should add something like cutting back on alcoholic beverages, no beer, or maybe just more veggies, get enough fiber everyday.
    What is everyone else doing?

    right now I'm changing my diet, not going out to eat so often, trying to eat healthier foods, and begin exercising more. I think after I bring my bike to my new place I'll start riding my bike a couple times a week

    Totally in!

    April 15th goal.
    Lose 10 lbs. For a total weight loss of 62lbs.
    Would bring me well into the 170's and OUT of the OBESITY BMI.

    No longer obese, merely fat! That's my goal.

    My diary is set for friends only so if ya'll want to see what I'm eating just add me. (I'm super awesome BTW) :noway:
