    So excited for this! :) Definitely need the motivation, especially since I'm going home to good old TEXAS where everything is bigger, better, greasier, and more fattening if you eat too much :D

    Hi everyone,
    I'm Andrea, mom to a daughter who is a senior in HS, and a 5th grade daughter. I lost 30 lbs before joining, but recently hit a wall because I got a stress break (most likely due to switching from indoor soft track to hard pavement) and I redeveloped some bad habits. Cast is off and the challenge will be a great way to re-motivate me back to good habits. This challenge sounds like fun and just what I need!! Can't wait!

    hey guys =) i'm excited for this challenge! i really need some extra motivation to exercise in August cuz i don't think i'm going to have pool access after this weekend :sad:

    i hate to sound shallow or anything, and i'm NOT losing weight to look good, i'm doing it to be healthy....but being heavy my whole life, i've always had this dream about going back to school in september looking awesome cuz i lost a bunch of weight over the summer. i'm done with school, but i WORK at a school now, and even though i lost about 50lbs by June, no one really noticed, probably because i had to wear the same 2XL staff shirt and way too big pants. i'm hoping that with my new clothes and the new LARGE staff shirt that will be waiting for me on the first day of school, i can surprise a few people.

    how cheesy does that sound?? lol :blushing:
