Hey girl, I'm back in - have had a few great weeks here and want to continue!
I'm Joy, 35, musician and massage therapist in St. Louis. No kids, but new gardener!
Gave up all booze for Lent and, gosh darn it, worked like a charm.
Goal is 14 lbs. 6/27 is the week my bf's WHOLE family goes camping - first swimsuit time of 2011!

welcome!!! 28 pounds is a huge goal for a 9 week challenge (over 3 pounds a week). not to discourage you from trying, but please make sure you are eating enough and being healthy as you drop those pounds. 0 -
I could use another challenge! My name is Ariel. I'm turning 30 this summer and my job has recently become pretty sedentary. From sales and heavy lifting to computer work so my goal is to spend every spare minute not sitting down. I love gardening and being outside in the sun. I'm relieved that spring is finally coming to the Pacific Northwest and some of this mud will dry up!

I'll keep that in mind! It looks like the challenge is almost 10 weeks, I'm trying to lose 3 a week until July.0 -
I am totally in! Wed. is my regular weigh in day so it is perfect!!
My name is Charice and I am 41 and I live in a painfully small town in central Utah. I have 4 great kids (ages 21, 18, 11, 9). I have had a yo-yo existence with my weight for years and something clicked in me last December to make a lifestyle change. Basically, this time my head is in it for the long haul and to make it permanent. I have lost 13.4 so far, but this challenge sounds like a great way to stay motivated. I have a mostly sedentary job where I either work at a computer or drive to different locations, logging about 600 miles per week on average. I have found it is hard to exercise while driving a car, so I have to plan and deliberately find time for my exercise. I enjoy spending time with my kids, reading (or listening to audio books in the car), movies, concerts, plays, photography, videography and editing, politics, and TRAVEL!! I love to travel to new places, see new things, meet new people, and, of course, eat new foods! I look forward to getting to know you all.

I’m in. My name is Stormy and I’m tryin to lose the last 6-8 pounds to get to my happy weight of 148. Lately I’ve been having fun just getting back into shape. I’m 61 and getting ready to retire now for the third time. That is one reason I’m bent on getting in shape – I want to optimize the fun things I can do when I’m "really" retired this time.
Glad we’re continuing this thread. I’ve lost 27 pounds since we started back on the New Year. Here’s to 2011:drinker: See you all next Wednesday. Thanks Dawn

Yes! This is EXACTLY what I need right now! My motivation has been waning lately, but I want and need to keep at it so that this new lifestyle can become my default way of living! I am almost 34 and have two little boys. I am one pound away from my pre-pregnancy weight, but I need to keep going. I have struggled with weight my whole life, and I finally have the drive to change that for myself and my family! I can't imagine anything better than being able to keep up with my two little ones as they grow and become play more and more actively. I am hoping to lose 7 pounds during this challenge - I think that's a reasonable goal.

I haven't been very successful lately but I love doing these challenges with you all. Hopefully I can get back to 142 asap and work down from there. Spring was hard food wise due to my birthday anniversary and boyfriends birthday all packed into one eventful month so summer should be better, I think. Anyway, I'm a college student in my last quarter! I graduate the 19th of June. I am doing a mud run June 10th and I need to train for that so that will be my main goal for now. Good luck everyone!

i am glad it is not stressful for you. my sister is also planning a wedding and it has been so easy because she knew exactly what she wanted for the reception, photographer, food, dj, etc. however, we are now looking at bridesmaid dresses, and she has no clue what she wants (she is trying to be accommodating to possible pregnancy, no strapless, empire waist for postpartum, etc). she has sent me around 30 links of dresses. bleck!
oh and thanks for asking about how i'm doing. i am healing but it is slower than i'd like, but everyday i feel stronger. my training schedule for the half-marathon has me running 7 miles this weekend and i will be walking 1.5. i think i will end up walking the half-marathon instead of running it. darn!0
