    Hi! My name is Valentina and I just joined the group :) I only record my weight a couple times a week, but I weigh in daily (I know, bad habit :D) so any day works for me!

    Valentina, I don't think it's a bad habit to weigh every day, but maybe because I do it too o:)

    I've just added myself to this group. I have a scale readily available so it's up to you guys when we weigh in.

    Great awesome to see you guys on here! I was thinking about once a week weigh-ins to report in the group but you can do whatever you want at home if you usually do daily weigh-ins. Perhaps Wednesdays will be a decent day. Not right before or after the weekend.

    I like the idea of Wednesday weigh ins. Are we starting next week on the 25th? :)

    Yep that's my plan! Next Wednesday the 25th. I'd hope to get a few more people joined. Not sure why not many have joined because I posted a few times in the message boards! Tell your friends!

    I also like Wednesday! It'll be good motivation to not slack on the weekends :)

    Thanks for starting this challenge. I sooooo needed something to keep me motivated through the holidays. Been up and down over the past few months and I was staring at the holidays thinking how this could really get out of control unless I got re-motivated. This challenge is just the accountability and support I needed. Look forward to weighing in on Wednesday.

    Yes I think that will be fine! You can use the 29th for your first weigh-in. (Unless you want to use your number from the 22nd that's okay too)

    I hope that it can help all of us. I don't feel 100% confident that I can lose all the weight because I cannot get myself into a good routine of meal times and workout times. I have gotten so lazy its hard to break that :(

    I have logged my weight. I have already lost 15lbs on/off dieting for past 7 months. Now the the last 15lb. Great to have this group for the motivation.

    I weighed in and recorded today. I actually started last week though and lost 6 pounds my first week, so only 9 to go. Most of the weight I lost was probably water (from going lower carb for my prediabetic diet), but I'm still really excited!!! I just hope I don't get discouraged when the weight loss slows way down from here.

    Just logged weight. First time on the scale in a long, long time. I'm so thankful for this group and that the challenge is going to last through February. Winter in the Midwest can be rough going for healthy living! I need all the support I can get. My biggest goal for this challenge is consistency.
