    So confused. I enjoyed yesterday. Went out to eat. Had a bowl of cereal with milk for snack last night. Weighed this morning and had lost 1/2 pound since the day before. Go figure!

    So excited to do well for this challenge even with a trip out of town later in the month!

    I grew up in southern Illinois, near St. Louis! I went to graduate school in northern Illinois but haven't lived in the state since graduate school. My dad still lives in O'Fallon. It is a small world!

    You're from my neck of the woods :) I was born and raised in E. St. Louis.

    My dad was born and raised in E. St. Louis! We were basically neighbors! :smiley: Love the St. Louis area. It's a great city.

    Hi All,

    I have been pleasantly surprised and very shocked at the number of people that have expressed interest in our challenge. I really dislike turning people away, especially if they are trying to better themselves by reaching out for support in helping themselves achieve health goals.

    At this moment I have over 100 people on our waiting list. As a result I have created 3 more teams! This won't place them all but at least it will help 45 of them.

    Because we've grown so much I am looking for a Team Captain for each team. This person should be someone that is 100% committed to not only their own success but each and every team member on the team. This must be someone that logs in DAILY.

    I'll be looking to the Team Captains to ensure everyone on your team has submitted their weekly weigh-ins on or before Friday of every week. If there is a team member that is falling off the wagon, I'll be looking to you to encourage them to continue both for their own benefit as well as the team's overall weekly standing. This may require a personal message to them of encouragement or maybe just a reminder that they haven't submitted yet.

    If this sounds like something you'd like to do let me know ASAP. I'd like to have Team Captains selected prior to our April 1 start date.

    This challenge is encouraging me to stay a bit more focused. Getting enough sleep each night has a major impact on how well my journey goes each day. I'm so excited that I finally got my 7 to 8 hours in last night!

    BTW any vegetarians/vegans in our group? I've been vegetarian for over 25 years. I did Vegan January and felt great. As of April 1st, I'll be going back to a vegan diet to not only slim down but feel great again. If there are any in the group, let me know. Or if you want to try vegetarianism, I'll be glad to share some pointers.

    Hi, Welcome to the group. Looks like we have similar goals and are in about the same place. I'm starting at 158.5 and have about 26 pounds to reach my goal weight. Looking forward to a great April!
