    I'm one of the gents here--I hope that's OK--but I added my information to this list:
    Ok ladies (I don't think we have any gents yet) so far we have 23 committments to shed up to 20 pounds - this is great! I am confident that together we will be able to meet our goals! I am posting your "names" please update with your starting weight, your goal, and your motivation or "prize" for hitting your goal. Just add a simley face beside your name so I know who updated and can track it I think it would be neat to see how much weight we collectively wish to lose, and to be able to track our progress as individuals and as a team.
    bethy0316 I really need the motivation ... yesterday I started this and didn't do so well, but did drink 10 glasses of water. Hopefully you will let me join in. Thanks

    mjp202 I'm in! Starting weight 216, current weight 202, goal weight 188. I've been looking for some accountability to push past this mini-plateau, so I'll happily join the Tuesday weigh-in.:smile:

    nmkruse 160 as of today... tomorrow maybe 159 maybe 161. Im sick of being stuck! I want to get to the 140-145 mark. Ive never been a healthy weight, in fact, I think I was overweight when I was born! I want to like how I feel! My prize is wearing a size M shirt.... or maybe a size 8-9 pants... and showing everyone that I can do it!

    Rogiefreida starting weight is 141.5 as of Sunday. Goal is 130, hopefully by 11/11, which is my BFF's wedding date where I will be wearing my very cute (and short! and sleeveless!) maid of honor gown.

    sass30 starting weight is 137.5, my goal is 130 hopefully before the end of the summer. My goal isn't really weight but I really want a rock hard body. My motivation is my kids...I don't want them to have unproductive lives full of watching tv and sitting on the couch all day long. Once I achieve that awesome body/weight I am going t get a new tattoo on my side.
    Sassy_Cass Starting weight 148 - goal 135 (13 pounds) My motivation is being able to love myself again, I want to look in the mirror and see past the jiggle and see a beautiful healthy version of me! When I reach the 10 pound mark (and my neighbor does as well) we are buying a new outfit and going on a double date with the men in our lives *they provide a tun of support when reaching for the chocolate bar*

    shaindi Starting weight 126 - goal 115 (11lbs). 5 kids did not do pleasant things to my body. Meeting my goal will be rewarding enough, no other "prize" necessary!
    sweettandb: Starting weight as of today is 175.4 lbs. Goal wt. is 167-170 (still slightly over the suggested BMI but I wouldnt look right at that recommended weight in my opinion). My motivation is being as healthy as possible in order to avoid numerous medical issues and being able to enjoy life to the fullest with my hubby and kids. Once I reach my final goal, I am going on a shopping spree for some lovely grown and sexy outfits. Hubby will like that.
    neela31 :) currently 141. My goal right now is 135 (6 pounds), but I'd LOVE to get to 130 (11 pounds). I've been in a platuea for over a year!! My motivation is to be able to wear low rise jeans.

    Hey ladies, and gent :blushing: Happy end of the weekend - remember to post your weights on Tuesday (even if you weighed in last Thursday) A lot of people have been making excellent successes this week with drinking their water and doing exercise! Congrats to each of you!

    So far we have 39 people in the group committed to dropping those last stubborn pounds! So motivating to see what I am not the only one with this "issue".

    Looking forward to Tuesday!!

    Hi everyone!
    I have been drinking water like crazy! My body seriously craves it now! I've been drinking about 5 - 32oz bottles per day ;) Hope everyone is doing great! Last week I decided to change things up a bit since I was feeling frustrated.... I changed my loss per week goal to .5 lb which gave me about 1440 calories to consume per day (yes this scared the heck outta me!). I also started c25k on friday and feel crazy to say it but im loving it- it really makes me want to push myself further which is very empowering ;) I took a break from Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30- after completing 30 day shred...I just felt like I needed a break from her! Hopefully ill restart week 2 with her today (no promises there just yet lol). Sorry for the long post ;)

    Kick *kitten* today everyone ;)

    I know that people will kill me for saying this...but I WISH we could enjoy the weather out here! It was 59 degrees and raining yesterday :explode: . I don't know if I would trade it for the 100+ degrees everyone else is having, but a rainy summer is a bummer.

    On to other topics....I am proud to report that I drank at least 8 glasses of water daily for the last week, except for Sunday. Which was an epic cheat day (but a long time coming). I will have weight in numbers tomorrow night!

    BTW...thank you for making weigh in day on Tuesday, especially after the food I ate on Sunday!. :laugh:

    Have a good week everyone!

    No worries buddy we are all there / have been there! The goal is to keep moving and to keep working at it. You are doing well with your daily food entries etc. Keep up the solid work!
