    Hi! I just started this site and am excited to see people with other long-term goals!

    SW: 230
    CW: 224
    GW: 190 (12/31/11)

    I'm also going to be trying to do at least 50 Miles per month starting in September. ((I'm moving back to school next weekend and have RA training from 7am to 9pm some days.... So, I'm going to try and do a Netflix workout each night during this time period. Its going to be rough fitting things in these first two weeks, but, I can do it!!!

    Starting August 29th, I have my official schedule! I'm hoping to mix in Netflix workout videos, the gym, and some fitness classes (I'm thinking Pilates, Zumba, and/or Yoga-depends what's offered when I don't have class!). My building is right next to the gym, so, I think it'll constantly remind me to go!

    =) Here's to looking good for the New ear!

    I'm in!!

    6' tall
    SW - 190
    CW - 189
    Goal by New Year's - 165

    Bust 38.5
    Waist 32.0
    Hips 39.0

    I just took my measurements a few days ago, and realized I'd lost 7", though I've not really lost any weight, so my challenge is going to be to actually lose lbs.! Hopefully, with your support and encouragement, it'll happen! :-)

    Welcome everyone!! :) I look forward to getting to know you all and shedding some serious lbs with you!

    Let's get to know each other a little!

    I'm Aubrey, think I said that before...I live in Snow Country NY, I'm mama to a wonderful 3 year old and have the best hubs in the world. I'm general manager of a hotel, and I love to eat (hopefully we can get rid of that! LOL), sing, sew, quilt, knit and read. Among other things. When it comes to fitness, I hate running, and I love group exercise classes (zumba, step, etc.)

    I'm Katie. I'm a 30yo married SAHM of 2. I suffered a stroke in Dec. 2008, right after my 28th bday. I've made an amazing recovery, and am now looking to get more fit. I love to sew and crochet. I'm currently working with a non-profit that cleans homes for families who have children going through cancer treatments (at no cost!). I make dolls and they leave one of my dolls as a gift to the child going through treatments. I also sell them, with a portion of the profits going to the non-profit. Please go check them out @ www.facebook.com/daffodolls and the non-profit is www.facebook.com/timeinabottle. I know lots of you have kids, so if you're so inclined, please order one and help us out!! You'll fall in love, I promise! :-)

    Good luck, friends!

    I'm in! I hope i made the deadline! the longterm challenge excites me. My name is LaToya, mother of 2 babies, a 2 year old and a soon to be 1 year old. Ready to shred the baby weight for good. My workout plan for the month is Ripped in 30 by Jillian Micheals and to start training for my 1st 5k. I want to become a runner. Runners are slim in trim! In my lifetime i want to complete a 1/2 marathon..unsure about a full one..i mean 26 miles?!?!?! geezzzzzz!! i like jillian micheals since a lot of my working out needs to be at home in the early am before work and mommytime begins. very excited to join!! lets get sexy for 2012!!
