    I'm in too! Although I must say...I really wonder how ppl can shoot for x amount by x date...my body seems to just give me what it gives me & as badly as I want it, I can't seem to speed up the loss any!! I have about 1-2 weeks per month that I lose nothing! :(. Oh well...I'll give it a shot!!!

    Just do your best. Usually, I lose 1-2 pounds a month.

    Yep. I'm up for giving this a go. I weighed in today at 249.5 lbs. Are you planning on some sort of leaderboard or other incentive?

    No, we just encourage everyone to push as best as they can and offer advice, etc as needed. Extremely friendly group :) Welcome!

    I'm in all the way!!! :happy: I only get weighed in every other week with my trainer, I try not to get on the scale at home. Trying to stick to one scale reading. I will log my weight lost on 07/09,07/23 & 07/30.

    Hey, I'm in. And if anyone wants to join up, but doesn't have 25-30 lbs to lose, you can borrow some of mine.

    I wanna play... Took me 5 weeks to lose 6lbs, so maybe I can make it. I'm gonna be away for a week and at two weddings. Honetsly, if I can maintain my current weight, that will be a feat.

    I agree with this. 5 pounds is for some people really doable and for others a struggle but it gives us all a goal to shoot for. I have been losing and gaining the same 5 pounds for many months now, but I keep trying.

    I'm in! I have seven left to go (until my final revised goal) so that would be great for me!

    Can we get some sort of organisation, because there's never any follow up!!!!!

    We tend to be pretty informal and everyone is on the honor system. Report what you are comfortable with. Its not a Biggest Loser competition but a group to support everyone in their goal to lose weight and get healthy.

    Thanks for your sharing attitude but I think most people in this challenge will probably politely turn you down.

    Count me in too, even though I would be happy to lose even 2 pounds a month.

    YES!!! I actually made a personal challenge to do that just that, so its even better to be involved in something that includes other people.

    LETS DO IT!!!!!

    We follow up all the time. Each of us post our weekly weigh ins on our own weigh day and we tend to be a really supportive group. we will be here continuously weather its good news or bad news or just to say hey and see how everyone is doing. welcome to the group
