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.

    right, I did see all of that in the original post - but I'm wondering like WHERE will we be posting all of this stuff?? is it going to be in this board right here, or somewhere else?

    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)
