I have been in a slump for a while and I am finally getting to where I am sooooo ready to get this weight off! I started 10 days ago and I feel confident that I will meet my goals! I wanted to make a realistic goal that didn't seem impossible to do. I hope you will join me in making our goals a reality! I am aiming to walk at least 10,000 steps a day and no soda, no sweets and no white breads! I have an office job so activity is very little but I am so excited that I did just recently get a sit/stand desk so I have the option to stand instead of sit!!

    I would like to join you in this challenge! I gained quite a bit of weight while I was pregnant, and I think having something else holding me accountable would be a great help. I just started working out on Monday along with one of my girlfriends. I am wanting to work out 4-6 times per week, even if it is just a walk with my daughter. I play softball a couple nights a week and that helps too! I have reduced my soda intake; hoping to eventually eliminate it completely, as well as reduced my junk food snacks. I walk some at my job and wear a smart watch to count my steps and monitor my heart rate. I lost the weight before and I know I can do it again!

    I will join in too! I just started a morning exercise program about a week or so ago - that was my first step. I am in the same boat, I need to lose 30 pounds and I need to get fit again. My desk job is killing me! I am trying for 10,000 steps a day too.

    I'm in... I'm usually reluctant to join challenges like this because I hate when I don't stick to it, but maybe this is the change I need to make. I lost a little over 30 pounds a few years ago, then slowly slipped into old habits and regained it back, plus some. I have just started logging again, I'm aiming for a gallon of water per day and am eating healthier, but have not yet added in regular exercise. I've been trying to make the change gradual so it'll stick! Just like the rest of you, I also have a desk job. Doesn't mean we can't do this! Please feel free to add me!

    Yes we will do weekly weigh ins :) What day do you all want to weigh in each week?

    I am fine with any day. Most of the weight loss challenges I've done before did weigh-ins on Friday; I think so people had time to work off whatever they had on the weekend :-)

    I'm in! I just stepped back on the scale and realized I'd gained back all of the weight I lost a couple of years ago :(

    Work a desk job & just flat out have gotten lazy so I'm in on this! I'd love to hit my goal weight but would be happy just losing any weight.

    Me too! Desk job. I lost 45 lbs on Ideal Protein, gained all but 10 back. There was no support. I'm new here, but really want to try. I'm not sure how to find this group again. Do I need to get the premium? Help a newbie!
