2young4this--Thank you for your hard work! You are awesome! Thank you for leading the charge!!!!

Hello!

Here is the first table. Please send me a message if your details are missing or incorrect - but check your original posting as some start weights and goals were missing.
I really hope that everyone sticks with this. Last month our group went from 100 to 27 BUT the final 27 lost 121 pounds. This month we are starting at 95 and if we all stick with it and meet our goals we will lose 517 pounds between us. Can you imagine that as a group we will be 517 pounds lighter?

Anyway, here is the table (sorry it is small but there are a lot of us!)



Good luck!!!!

We can do it peeps!!! 95! Check in please! You do not have to be perfect. If you don't lose weight still check in. You have nothing to be ashamed of. If you fall get right back up! Successful people are those who never give up and get back up each time they fall.

Think about the baby learning to walk. Each time the fall down they get up, until they learn who to walk. We have to do that with weight loss. We are not going to be perfect but that does not mean we can not lose weight. That is why many drop off because they want perfection. Perfection is not possible. Later on I am going to post a link to a thread I posted last month. We can do this with out being perfect! So please check in weekly. Even if you gained. Also check in with any accomplishments, struggles, challenges, etc you want to share. That way we can all encourage one another with the ups and downs of losing weight.

We can do this! It would be wonderful if we have a least 70 percent of you all check in every single week! We lost a boat load of peeps last month.....:-( Hopefully March will be different. I only lost 1 pound last month and I am back! Even if I only lose another pound this month I will be checking in. I checked in when I gained and lost. Guess what I can not give up on myself! I hope you do the same!

Have a good week everyone!

Thanks for this!

It's true what you say about wanting perfection. I am not sure why/how can go all this time being totally overweight and not caring and then losing weight but somehow finding it not good enough..

I know as I get closer to my goal I'm finding It hard/frustrating..I will still be checking ine ach Tuesday regardless of the ups and downs. Best of luck toe veryone. we can do this!!

I did 20 minutes of cardio yesterday, its not the 30 we were challenged to do, but it was a step up from my not doing any at all! Long day at work today but hoping to get on my machine on my break between jobs (!!!!) I'm excited for all of us and glad to have a group of 95 to keep me accountable!

Sorry I missed yesterday kind of a hectic day. Hopefully I can still participate in the challenge. Good luck everyone!

Today has been one heck of a day. Both of my kids have been extremely cranky. My one year old is now passed out in the middle of the living room floor. She's such a light sleeper that I know if I move her, she'll wake up even more cranky, so I gotta just wait to exercise. My 2 year old has just been a nightmare all morning. Acting out like crazy and just being the complete stereotype of "terrible two". I think we all just woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

I've been feeling sick all day too. Just completely exhausted and my entire body hurts. Probably from eating total crap yesterday. I don't know what got into me. I ate thai food for lunch, and it wasn't even a problem for my calorie count, but then I just said "screw it" and ate ate ate the rest of the day.

Just emotional eating for sure. Discouraged with my husband's situation (read my profile if you don't know), frustrated with life, and just used food to help that--but feel guilty instead. Lame.

Oh well, today is a new day and I'm doing good so far. Now to just force myself to exercise. I am midway through month 2 of INSANITY and I think that my body is just fed up of it. I did month 1 for so long (5 months), that I think my body is just tired of that kind of exercise. I was reading about our bodies getting used to the the same movements, and although month 2 is definitely harder, it's still the same kind of stuff. So I'm quitting early (will do the program again in a few months) and am gonna do a combo of kettlebells, Jillian Michaels, and Zumba. Hoping that the change in pace will change the scale and my mood.

Anyways...enough blabbering on. Thanks for listening.

Was having a very hard day yesterday. Working with kids all day can play a toll on you, but also strep has been going around. I was out with the bug so getting in 30 minutes of cardio was just not going to happen. I tried to make up for it today by walking a 5k. I did it in 60 minutes. Hopefully that soon turns into running a 5k in 30 minutes, but...small steps.

Hoping to not get frustrated as time goes on and lose motivation again. That seems to be a common theme with me. Having a challenge to be responsible for though seems to be helping. I like having people in the same situation as me help hold em accountable!

I have gotten my extra 30 minutes of cardio for today plus some. I feel great but we shall see what tomorrow brings :laugh:

Dang I missed the post wish you guys well this month I still plan on making this my biggest mnth ever. I will come back in and check on you guys even though I didn't make the list!!!

Make it a great month everyone!!
