    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 :)

    my weigh in day is on Sundays.

    Could i post my weigh ins on Sundays instead of on Weds?

    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.

    I couldn't edit the spreadsheet on my phone, even with downloading the sheets app... but I'll log once I get bac to work on Tuesday... I just finished a similar challenge and didn't lose anything lol... so I'm really gonna focus this next 10 weeks. Ive been maintaining since Aug... but really would like to start losing again.

    I'm a little late to the party, but really like this concept--- just joined. :) But- I am not able to "reconnect" to edit the spreadsheet, on my laptop. I'll keep trying...

    Glad you are here! The spreadsheet should be open to any one to use on the computer. Let me know if you can't get it to work.
