So my end goal is 77kg by October 1 which is 163lb

    I'm IN as well!! I may be 17 out of 20 but I think I lost count haah!!

    As of this morning I was 179, but after working out I was 177.6 (which is where I was at at my last weigh in) so I guess we'll go with the lower number??

    BUTTT My 24th birthday is Aug. 15th so I'm trying REALLY hard to stay on track and do a good job with all of this so I can feel GOOD and fit into a cute dress that I bought 3 years ago that I "almost" fit in then && want to fit in now!! IT STILL HAS THE TAGS ON IT!! && I've been in a funk lately && just want to get out of it and have a reason to push hard!!

    20 pounds might be a bit high for me, since it took me 6 months to lose 17! HAHAH <-- PATHETIC! buuuut here we are && i need any reason I can get to STAY MOTIVATED!!

    Super excited to do this with everyone! :D

    I would love to join and challenge myself to do this. I am starting at 218 which I have been stuck at for a while. But I am turning 36 in August and would love to be more more fit. My ideal weight is 150, but I know I have to take it one step at a time and this will be my first step. Thanks

  • Hi , katieerin90 who started this has gone to bed, but the idea is to keep each other motivated, weigh in on thursdays and aim to do a certain amount of exercise, and reward ourselves with treats ie hot bubblebath etc.

    Great, so I'll be lucky # 30?

    Would love to be down 20pounds, then I'll be what I weighed when I got married. (Is it just me or does married life have a way of piling on the pounds? Why is that)

    Motivation: have a beach body for summertime! (I live in Australia so its still winter here)
