Ok ladies lets get to it! I have to lose more then 100lbs to get to my goal weight and though I appreciate all of the posters equally, i need some women I can relate to. So I'm starting a group to help us all stay motivated and get to those goal weights. So heres what you do. Just comment on the post and let me know that your interested. I'll put together a list of women who want to join on friday and post it. This will not be a closed group so people may join whenever. Let's get it ladies!

    Ok ladies , please "friend" each other and send me your starting weight (what ever it is today) . I will post up the list on sunday. I will also post up some details of how the group will run. The objective is to have optimal support. As I stated in the first post this group is open as I want women who happen to find this thread a few weeks from now to feel welcome, so if you find anyone who needs to be apart of the group please just have them send me a message. If you have any input as to how the group should be run please feel free to message me or just comment. I'm excited to get started and I truly believe in all of you, together WE can accomplish our goals.

    Group documents will only be viewable by the group , however the weight checkin's will be posted on the thread so if you are not comfortable with me using your screen name I can use a nickname. Just let me know. :)

    Ok ladies here it is ! Our first chart. I hope it looks ok. I'll also post it on my blog so it's easier to find it each week . Here are the rules.

    1. Be supportive, please no negative feedback.
    2. Please check in with your weight each friday and i will post it sunday.
    3. "Friend" all of the women in the group so that when someone writes about needing support we can act fast!
    4. If you see someone on the message boards who needs to be in this group please contact them. Were an open group because not everyone is ready to start at the same time, but everyone should have support when they do.

    i don't want to many rules here because the idea is to be accountable for our actions. However i would like everyone to try and check in at least with a status each day. Also i will post the link below for the cosmo girl pic to place with your signature.

    Signature link: ibf6fr.jpg

    (just paste this in your signature box, if you need help let me know)
    link: ibf6fr.jpg (just change the IMG to lower case img before you post it.

    Okay, I think I friended everyone, or was friended, if not, feel free to add me.

    I'm doing a "Biggest Loser" competition at work - 10 people, we pay $20 to "enter," $2 a week, plus $2/pound gained. It's 17 weeks long and we start week 3 (weigh in for the third time) tomorrow morning . I want to win! Let's do this!
