    Hopefully it's not too late to join? I would love to be part of a group :D I am looking to lose another 5-6 lbs but REALLY I am looking to start including exercise back into my weight loss routine and see what results that brings. Mostly interested in weightlifting and yoga right now. Please add me too :)

    Stay fired up everyone! I will weigh in Tuesday and post then. Took today at a slower pace. Won't hit the 11k steps like usual but I will be kicking into high gear for the next 12 weeks! Oh yeah!

    I would like to join. I can be the resident elder. I am 71 years old and would do cartwheels (mental ones) if I could lose 15 lbs in12 weeks!

    I am most interested! Im at 275lbs and 5 ft 5. Not sure how to join the Challenge tho. Im T2 Diabetic on 2 insullins. Im thru with relying on all my meds for that and so many other ailments. I am well educated on the science of losing weight but I was too lazy to do what I needed to do. Need to change my habits and actually commit to this. My music career depends on it as much as I hate to admit it. I am ready for this Challenge to kick off my life long change!

    It is so awesome to see everyone wanting to join in. How is Day #1 going?

    Today I wrote down some of my goals big or small.
    Drinking a lot of water is a challenge for me so I need to be aware of that.

    Meal prepping is another good goal for me to stick to because then I'm prepared.

    I have a kickboxing membership that I need to use.. my goal is to get to my kick boxing class at least 1 time this week & to the gym at least twice.. along with my walking.

    What are some of your goals ??

    I am interested in joining this challenge. I would like to lose 24 lbs or more in these 12 weeks. I have been slacking for the past year with my diet and exercise which caused me to gain about 30 lbs back. I need some motivation to get my act together. I am with you and will weigh in on Sunday:)

    SW: 251 lbs

    Excited to begin this challenge and hope to be down 2 lbs by next Sunday!
    Have a great day everyone:)
    I'm excited for you!
    Happy sunday

    Yikes I put on 5 lbs these past couple of weeks. Hopefully after 12 weeks I will be close or at goal. What is everyone exercise plan or strategy for the next 12 weeks? I plan on doing hammer and chisel or other dvd, some treadmill, and yoga.
    feel free to add me as I can use all the support.
    Best of luck to all of us.

    I'm in! My 12 week goals are to continue my Stronglifts 5x5 with an easy run after on M W F and a run on either Sat or Sun. Also, no alcohol except on Saturdays - damn summer heat and beers... I'll weight in on Sundays. Trying to loose the 20 lbs I gained this winter!
    Sounds like a plan! You have got this ... thank you for joining
