    I'm so excited to start this! I'm also from Maryland, USA. My name is Meagan and I'm 25 years old. I have two little boys. Luke is 3 years old and Jake will be 1 on Thursday. Nice to meet everyone! :bigsmile:

    I'm excited too! I am from Denver, CO. I have a 2 year old daughter who keeps me so busy all day long! My workout of choice is jazzercise- and my goal is to go 3-4 x/week and walk the rest of the days of the week. I have pretty much always struggled with my weight, and my weightloss so far has been slow as I have periods of doing really really well and then periods of doing really really bad! Trying to find that balance.

    I'd like to sign up as well, if I'm not too late! My job is 60% percent travel, and over the last 4 years I've gained 35 pounds. Its time to end this madness! 10 lbs would be great :-)

    Hi!

    I'm excited, ths will be my 2nd challenge after I complete my first one!

    Me? I'm 26 y/o from TN in a relationship with Daniel for two years. We've got two "kids" a dog and cat. Well, and his 10 year old daughter Grace but she's the best behaved of the three. LOL!!

    I work at home for Convergy's ATT answering questions about accounts - billing ,sales, technical, the whole shebang.

    I'm trying real hard to lower my sodium intake but so many foods that I love have it.. ::sad::

    Anywoo, feel free to add!

    I've found MFP addicting and I'm constantly checking here.

    Great! I am excited!!! So...where's everybody from? I am from the US...Maryland.

    Did we decide on a name for the group?

    Just a quick check in as I'm off to bed for the night.... I'm not sure if I said it in my original post but I'm from Jacksonville, Florida.

    As for the group name we are working with an unofficial name of September Shred but we have another idea on the table of September Svelte. Even though I am organizing us I'm not a dictator :wink: so everyone's input woud be great:happy:

    I like September Shred. I wouldn't want to make the male in the group uncomfortable with the term svelte in our name. I'm ready to get this show on the road already!!! Come on September 1st!! We're starting this challenge on my little ones first birthday! :bigsmile:

    Hi, my name is Joanne. I am the mother of a 4, 6 and 8 year olds. I am currently training for a half marathon and doing turbofire. I might do a second round of P90X or start insanity again. I have been in maintenance mode the whole summer and am ready to kick start my weight loss again.

    I would like to join if it is not too late. I have never joined a challenge before & can really use some motivation since gaining weight on vacation.

    I would love to join, too! Maybe since there are already too many people, we could form another group with the same idea?

    Thank you!




    I messaged the leader of this group about having a second group with the same challenges. I'll let you know what she says!

    Here is the list of what would be the second group. We'll go up to 20 :)

    Sorry for the delay in replying to all the questions... It was an unusual 12 hour work day and anything that could go wrong did go wrong starting at 5 am. And I just got home an hour ago.. ARG!

    I think Kelly's idea is awesome!!! So we are going to be in two teams. Kelly is going to manage the new recruits and be called September Shred- Red Team. The original group we can go by the same but add on Blue Team (just going off of the banner I created) Don't worry red team you'll get one too!

    Just a reminder we will need your sept. start weights by Thursday and we won't do an official weigh in again until the 9th a Friday. First weekly challenge will be posted on Wednesday night/ Thursday morning so you can start planning your week!

    I dead on my feet so I'm going to prop them up somewhere for the night. Have a good one!!
