    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!!

    Well did my first weigh in for this challenge, down 1.5 lbs which is good since this week has been a learning week, learning what calories are in what and where best to use the calories and then was provided a speed bump of dinners out and buffets. So lets hope next week is better and has some exercise involved. Good luck everyone.

    Hey everyone,

    I weighed in at 176.2 today, I believe I'm down 2.6 lbs from my Monday weigh-in...

    My goal for the end of the year would be to hit the 150's. I have been hovering at 173/174 for a few weeks now and need to kick it into gear. I need to get my lushiness under control.

    I'm a married Mom with 4 kids. I work part time as a nurse on a heart monitoring unit. I like long walks on the beach...oops, sorry wrong website...LOL

    I will be starting Round 3 of an elimination contest on Sept 7th and will welcome players to join there as well. I will post the link when I am ready to do that.

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

    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!

    Is this your first year as an RA? I remember RA training hell weeks! I loved my time as an RA, some of the best memories of my life!

    This is my second year as an RA! I absolutely love it! I'm the RA of the honors dorm on campus, and I think it just really helps to get to know everyone and be involved!
