    Hi all. My name is Bianca. Mommy of a 2 year old. Been overweight my entire life. I managed to nearly reach my goal weight of 80kg before I had my son. With my pregnancy this spiraled out of control and out of reach. I always used the excuse of being a mommy for not being able to lose the weight after pregnancy. The past Dec I felt miserable, so uncomfortable in my own skin. I was fed up and knew with the new year ahead I had 12 new chapters to complete.....new choices to be made. And I wanted my choices to be healthy and fight this battle no matter how many times I fall or how hard it may seem at times. I officially started this journey on 7 Jan weighing my heaviest ever at 117kg. I have been doing Keto and it seems to be working well. I have lost 4kg in total and quite a bit of cms. Only started working out about 2 weeks ago every second day 30 min walk/jogs. Yesterday I fell off the wagon for the first time since starting this journey and that's when I decided an accountability team will be the best for keeping me on track. Thank you for letting me join. Won't let myself down anymore.....nor will I let you guys down x B

    Welcome, Bianca! You seem to have had your A-Ha moment and now are fully committed to losing weight. We are here to help you stay accountable and on track!!

    Hello Big Butts! I thought being on this team was appropriate for me...as I have a big butt! ;0)~

    I'm a newbie to this challenge. I have only ever done one challenge with a friend before. I had a lot of success with that challenge, but fell off the wagon. I haven't been tracking my foods, so this will help me get back into the habit.

    My starting weight is 185.0 lbs. as of yesterday, 2/1/18. I picked Thursdays as my weigh-in day because I thought the challenge was the calendar month, but since it doesn't start until Sunday, maybe I should change my weigh-in days to Sunday? My OCD would appreciate that change if it's possible since we haven't technically started? I could weigh-in again on Sunday and that could be my starting weight? Not sure what's best, so any advice is welcome.

    My goal weight is between 135 lbs. and 145 lbs. I'm not really sure where I will be happy, so I'm leaving my goal weight up to my mental health and not a number on the scale. I would love to reach whatever goal weight before my 40th birthday May 29th, so I need to lose around 2.5 pounds a week to get there. Some weeks I will exceed that and some weeks I will gain the previous weeks weight loss back. My body doesn't like to cooperate, so I am just going to swing for the fence and command my body to listen. If I can get at least halfway there, I will be happy.

    Can't wait to get to know everyone!

    Welcome Marie! And we all have butts a little bigger than we would like....that's why we are here!!

    Your starting weight for this challenge is whatever you posted in the February sign up thread. If you changed your weigh-in to Sunday, you would weigh-in tomorrow and that would be the end of week #1 for you, so I would suggest keeping it at Thursday.

    Absolutely! Okay. I just wasn't sure if I needed to have a starting weight the first day or if Thursday's weight was okay. I appreciate you getting back with me.

    Tracked: YES!
    Under: YES! Even though we held a Super Bowl party
    Exercise: I'm counting the cleaning I did all day long including the floors, dusting, chasing kids, throwing the football around during half-time, and having a good time. Tomorrow, back to the same old same old.

    Hope everyone had a great day!

    I'd count all that as exercise too! Whew! Great job on staying under even through the Super Bowl!

    Hey, team. Did any of you watch that very exciting Super Bowl game?!! I was doing well with my food until I got into the Super Bowl snacks....oh well, I'll just try again tomorrow!

    Speaking of tomorrow, let's make tomorrow Motivational Monday. Post those motivational quotes and sayings or just generally encourage and motivate your team mates!

    I'm not huge into football, but it was greatly enjoyed by my husband. We were going to a super bowl party but the host was sick

    Pretty awesome, you guys who stayed under your calories on super bowl Sunday! I unfortunately did not. At least I don’t think so. I got so busy cooking and cleaning then eating and talking (hosted a party at our house) that I just can’t go back and log now. Oh well! @HASWLRS we will try again tomorrow!

    Here's my Monday Motivation:

    Finish this sentence "Today, I am grateful for...."

    We're all grateful for our families and our friends. But we often don't give ourselves the same consideration. What are you grateful for within yourself?

    Today I am grateful for the ability to recognize that I have the power to change my circumstances. I can decide what I want to do and then do it.

    What are you grateful for today team?

    You weighed in the day after the Super Bowl and you didn't post a gain. I'd say that's a win! Just be CONSISTENT this week and the scale will move for you! (See what I did there?!)

    Great question, Kay. What am I grateful for within myself?
    I would have to say that I am grateful, that at age 51, I can still do many activities that I love to do. I just need to schedule the time to do them, because to stay active means you have to BE active!

    @jackinorrie, did you get my PM? I am only asking because sometimes they don't get delivered and I also have messages out to some of those who still need to post a weight and they haven't been read, according to my computer.

    No- I have not :(
    I’ll try to pm you.
