OUR OTHER GOALS:
-180 minutes of exercise per week!!! (That's 60 mins 3x, 90 mins 2x, 30 mins 6x, ETC...)
-Do something "feel good" FOR YOU every SINGLE DAY! Take a bubble bath! Buy a new shirt! Get a manicure! What ever will make you happy!
-If you go OVER on calories for a day, try your best to WORK THOSE BUGGERS OFF!


There will be DAILY chat threads that I will post at midnight PST... post your "feel good" thing for the day! Look for encouragement, dish out encouragement, share recipes, just chat!

    I know for a fact that 20lb in 6 weeks is too much for me, (it took me 6 months to lose 15), but I wanted to say GOOD LUCK, it sounds like a fantastic idea that would be great fun!

    I'm in! I'm starting with my weigh in this morning at 211. I really want to get below that 200 mark before my 29th birthday on the 21st of August, so I'm super motivated!!

    My ultimate goal is to be smaller than I was after basic training which was 157. I know I can get there. I have all the right tools. I look forward to daily motivated threads and treated ourselves as we should.

    Goal weight Between 9stone 7lbs and 10stone by the time I get married in November, already have the dress which is too small so need to be fitting into it in around 6 weeks to give me time to buy another if I dont!

    I'm IN!!!! Starting today at 180.4... my ultimate goal is 150, so the loss of 20 would put me 10 from where where i want to be. I started this process in April and have lost 20.5 so far.... another 20 is exactly what i need to boost me so much closer to my ultimate goal... And the sooner the better =)

    I am currently walking/jogging (C25K) at LEAST 3 times a week and Zumba for 60 minutes a shot when my work schedule allows me to make the classes. I also plan to start the 30DS in the next few weeks to counteract the times i can't make it to Zumba...

    Best of luck everyone!!
