in Motivation and Support
Hey Everyone!

I know there are ALOT of groups out there. This is not a closed group. This is a support group that weighs in every Friday. The reason for Friday? Because if you see your progress right before the weekend, it might motivate you to keep the ball rolling throughout the weekend. Friend request me with your current weight and the current program you are following (i.e. running, walking, p90x, ect.), and your goal date and weight. You must provide me with a goal date because it helps to actually see your goal in front of you and is motivational. I will make a chart that will show weight/body fat percentage lost. Also, tell me what your favorite car is so I can add it to the chart next to your name. If you do not weigh in with me for 3 weeks I will have to remove you from the list to make room for people that are participating. Thanks and I look forward to getting to know all of you!!


One more thing, lets share the main reason why we are here. I'm here to be healthy for myself and for my family. To set a good example for my little girl!

    oh what fun! I'm in!

    Though I must say - I am much more interested in the INCHES lost than the pounds lost. I am 1.5 weeks into a 20 week Turbo Fire program. So I guess my goal is to lose another 4 pounds and 5 inches from my waist/chest/hips in that time frame. So my goal date is December 17th.

    Hey-
    Thanks for creating a group and making it not closed…or restricted the requirements to something too specific.

    My workout routine varies. I do mostly videos (P90x, 30D Shred and Exercise TV) and occasionally I run/jog outside. The main reason I want to lose weight is for my health, and my self confidence. Looking forward to this!

    When you are underneath message boards, look under that part where it says HOME, RECENT POSTS, MY TOPICS, SIGNATURE, AND SEARCH. Click on signature and you can add your stats :smile:

    Hope you are all doing great so far this week! Our first weigh-in is on Friday, even though we have just started this challenge, so don't be too discouraged if you don't lose any weight yet or even if you gain a little. I'm anticipating a slight gain since I spent the weekend in Vegas and didn't eat as good as I normally do. Vegas was a lot of walking that's for sure! Has anyone else been there? I'm going to say that I didn't like it as much as I thought I would, because I'm more of an outdoorsy sightseeing type of gal, and not so much of a gambler nightclub person. Happy wednesday!:smile:

    Kickboxing sounds like fun! I sometimes do Turbo Jam and it has a little bit of the kickboxing technique in it and it burns a TON of calories! Glad you could join us! :)

    ok everyone!

    So I have some good news and bad news. Bad news is I am unable to post my excel spreadsheet on this message board for everyone to see because it's too blurry, too small, too big, ect. I've tried everything for a few hours. The good news is you can still view it online. The document came out really big so I will work on trying to make it smaller to view. If you click on page on your toolbar and set the zoom to 75% that should make the whole thing viewable.The person highlighted is the one who has lost the most weight so far since we started this challenge. I included the BMI scale so everyone can work toward thier goal range. It is not too late for anyone to get included on this challenge. Just get me your stats if you want to join. Also, the cars did not upload within the document for some reason so I'm sorry for that. But maybe later this week I will have more time to play with it and figure it out. Have a great weekend and congrats to everyone!

    Sweet, I think I'm coming in second, feels good for a change to be doing good at something. Loving my new capri fit. i think my fat is moving around on my body, which is great to notice in such a short time. I guess it really pays to watch the foods you put in your mouth.
    Thank you all for letting me join. Can't wait to start back up on Monday with my workouts again. I take the weekends off so I dont have to worry about being OCD on my meals and workouts, and I can just enjoy the time with family and friends.
    No drinking this weekend so..;( but I did notice Im eating less amounts but a little more often.

    This is just great, I am so glad this program is here and you guys are great for the comments. i feel if I dont do something to post I feel Im letting you all down, and thats a great motivation for me.

    See you Monday!!
