in Motivation and Support
Here's the deal. We're going to aim for:
-5 lbs lost by July 31st
-4 (maximum!) "bad" days (ie, days when we go over our cal limit)... that's one per week!
-3 (minimum!) workouts per week

We'll support each other and keep each other accountable... throughout the month, we can come here to talk about how we're doing. It's not a competition, the goal is for everyone to succeed in these goals ... we can do it together!

Who's in?
Post your stats so we can get to know each other!

I'll start--

Name: Anna
Age: 22
Height: 5'5''
HW: 178 lbs
CW: 144 lbs
July 31st GW: 139 lbs
(Ultimate GW: 128 lbs)
About me: law student originally from NJ, now living in Baltimore. This summer I am a student attorney at a pro bono firm, so definitely keeping busy! Oh, and I have a boyfriend that loves to eat.

    About me: I am studying for the California bar. I just graduated from law school so I'm studying, looking for a job, and trying to continue eating right and exercising. It was so much easier during school because my schedule was set but I had a lot more free time than I do now!

    I love running but I have tendonitis in my right knee which is flaring up so I'm exploring different exercise methods while I give my knee a break.

    Yay! Looks like we've got a good group... I'm excited to start tomorrow!
    (I'm actually going to my parent's house for July 4th weekend and bringing my own scale with me so that I can get an accurate weigh-in tomorrow morning.... I'm nuts, I know)
