I can't wait until this group is up and running

is there going to be a chart to track everyone's progress?

I love all these ideas. I've been away for a while with health issues but am back and ready to crush this.
This weekend I am getting a new puppy and will be spending a lot of time at home to get her used to her new surroundings. I will work on incorporating these ideas into the group.

For starters on the already suggested ideas I loves excel and making charts to track not only my finances but my health progression as well. I am working on some kind of spreadsheet almost everyday at work. On a previous group I did with just friends on face book I used a chart every step of the way. I will get a sample started here soon so you all can look over it and offer more suggestions on what you would like to see tracked on it etc. Feel free to message me your ideas as well since once this feed starts going we may lose track of everyone's responses.

I like the teams and challenges Ideas as well. Any suggestions on how to go about it? Such as do we just want to split into equal group and do team challenges against each other along the way? Or do we want to do a boys vs girls? Or one of my groups do it by how much weight you need to lose that way everyone's paired with similar bodies. This helps because its easier for heavy people like myself to burn more calories during an exercise than someone who may be on the last leg of their weight loss journey. It's up to the group. I feel the more involved everyone can be in a group the more drive it gives us.

The final weigh in being may 28 is currently the last day unless we want to change it. I set it that way because I have it set up for weighing in in 7 day increments and it was the last day of a 7 day period without going into June.

Looking forward to hearing from everyone

Thanks for all the input already!

I'm definitely excited for the New Year and the start of this challenge
