I've been looking for a challenge for those needing to lose significant weight but haven't found any that are still open. So I thought I start my own. I'd like to limit it to 20 people who need to lose at least 50 lbs. Once we have a list I'll post it.
Personally I need to lose 92 lbs. My New Year goal will be 50 lbs. Look forward to meeting you.

Ok, so thats 22 not 20, but oh well. Now if everyone will introduce themselves.0 -
I'll start. My name is Lorie. I'm a 33 year old accountant. Married, no kids. Losing weight is hard when you sit 8 hours a day and drive 2.5 hours a day. But I know I can do it. I'm into all kinds of crafty things and love to read. I lost weight a few years back (about 65 lbs) and have gained all of it back. (I blame my husband! :bigsmile: ).
For the group I'd like everyone to weigh in once a week. You can weigh in more if you like. Also please let me know your goal and I will track everyones progress. If anyone wants to issue daily challenges feel free. Also I am going to work on a pic for you to put in your signature. Would you be interested in doing teams or solo? I think teams would be awesome, a little competition is good right?
Oh yeah and I would like to lose 50 by 2012!0 -
Here we go!!!
My name is Nikki. I am a 29 yr. Insurance Agent (honest we are not all bad ). Not married and no kids. I will go with Lorie and blame my boyfriend though Just kidding, I know it all boils down to me. I have always been "husky" (lol that word just sounds nicer) and go back and forth with my weight however right now I am at my all time heaviest and am NOT impressed. I am not afraid to work out. As a matter of fact I acutally enjoy it. The problem is finding the time. So I am hoping by doing something like this it will finally give me the motivation to put myself first and make exercise a priority.
I am up for anything.. teams work Now lets go kick some BUTT!!! 0 -

Hey Nikki, welcome How much would you like to lose for the challenge?0 -
Hello Everyone-
I'm Emily and I am married with three kids. I have an 11 year old step-son and 19 month boy/gril twins. I would love to say that the pregancy is what added the weight, but why start out with a lie? I have always been overweight and it has just gotten out of control since I've had the babies. I work full-time so I struggle to find the time to exercise and sometimes it is just easier to not think about what I'm eating.
My ultimate goal is to lose 100 pounds, but would love to be around 50 by the new year.
Here is a question...How do I get my tracker to show up at the bottom of my messages. I totally can't figure out that one.0 -

Have you set up a ticker (under tools)? I think when I got to the end, it asked if I wanted to post it to my signature (or something to that effect).0 -
