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!

    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.

    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!!
