    I am so in and excited about this challenge. I will forward my info this evening when I get home. I was doing very well with my weight loss until I was in a car accident a couple of months ago that resulted in a knee injury. I am all about cardio and was not able to do any cardio which helps relieve me of stress. All I can say is my need for comfort food has taken over and I am back on the road to weight loss again!!!!

    Thanks for this challenge!!!!

    Live: Pennsylvania
    Starting Weight: 200lbs
    Goal Weight: 187
    Following a Diet: Now just counting calories and watching portion sizes. Trying to add more water...little less Diet Pepsi!
    Diet Goals: Try to cut out Diet Pepsi and try to manage more on my stress eating.
    Exercise Goals: To workout daily and get myself back on the ball. Goal is to run a 5K in December. Would have liked to this Sept. but I kept putting it off.
    Other Goals: To put less focus on food and more on family and friends.
    Other Interests: My family and loving God. Very active in church and do almost every ministry there is but children's ministry is where my heart is at.
    Occupation: Stay at home Mom Mon-Friday and work as an LPN on the weekends...best of both worlds!

    Measurements: Will get them by private message! :)

    My goal is to get back to where I was prior to having my boys. At one time I weighed 300 and then Weight Watchers helped me take off 160lbs. Now, trying to get back down and finding myself again. I am looking forward to the challenges and esp weigh in days to see the scale go down and my spirits lift high! Good luck everyone and feel free to add me to help keep some motivation. :)

    Hey everyone! I am finding myself in serious need of motivation and accountability, so I thought I'd start a challenge group! All are welcome!
    As summer comes to a close and fall begins, I am serious about getting healthy, stronger, and dropping the pounds that have crept up on me! This is the only body that I've got, and I want to take care of it! So, just reply to this thread if you want to join!

    Some guideines:
    -Weigh-ins will be on Mondays. I've found that this helps me, because I eat more carefully on the weekends, knowing I have to
    weigh-in Monday am!
    -Goals: set any goals you'd like! Whether it's to lose 1 pound a week, survive 30 Day Shred or to just get tone.
    -This challenge will start today, and go through November 14. That way, when everyone sees you during the holidays, they can
    see how fabulous you look! ; )

    So, post your info as soon as possible, and I will start a spreadsheet highlighting everyone's goals and accomplishments! Oh, and be sure to add me as a friend! Check back here on this forum, this is where we'll post!
    Can't wait to get started!!!
