    So glad I joined this Challenge. I wrote about this in my blog today, but I might have to have surgery right before Christmas, so I am motivated more than ever to be successful. If I have the surgery, I won't be able to work out using my feet for at least 3 weeks. Can hardly wait till Sunday to post my first week results.

    Love the google doc idea! I'm so glad I've joined a challenge again, its really giving me the motivation I had lost. For example I didn't eat the full serving of ben and jerry's fro yo I was going to eat, I had just a few bites then put it away. WOHO

    Wow, you are all so skinny! Take it from me--you really, really seem so skinny to me. I just started and just weighed in the start of the week so this is a perfect time for time to start a challenge. I hope you don't mind me joining a little late and a LOT bigger than you all.

    I'd love to join, too, if it's not too late! I'm technology challenged, (seriously, it's pathetic...lol), so I'm not sure how to join a group....I need a lot of help to get motivated again. I lost 22 lbs between April-Oct last year. I gained 20 lbs back & I am so disgusted with myself...but, I've done it before, I hope I can do it again!

    SW (9/18)- 145 lbs

    Alright we have 33 participants...for those just joining us, here's some FAQs answered and welcome!! :flowerforyou: :smile:

    FAQs answered:

    IS IT TOO LATE TO JOIN?
    -Never! We always welcome new members and as I like to say, better late than never

    HOW DO WE CHECK IN?
    -There is a new way. Since we have so many new members, I made a spreadsheet where everyone can click on the link and add their info, so you don't have to look for your post each week. Here's the link and so you have the link each Sunday when we check in, you can bookmark it.

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AikR9MNTIhNGdE8zeUMybGRCTHdrcFdfT1pBUkpwMHc&hl=en_US

    Please, everyone that has signed up, please get your info into the spreadsheet.....On Sunday I will post a new link to the new thread, so that everyone can find it easier and we'll start there! Looking forward to seeing everyone!! GOOD LUCK!

    At my highest I was 335 . Got down to 300 and hovered around there for years. mostly going up and back down to 300 and have since last summer dropped to 234, it is possible! you CAN DO IT!!! From being larger, I love that I can now cross my legs when I sit down. It may be small to others but I can not remember the last time I could do that. :) I know you can get there!

    For some reason I wasn't on there, but I went ahead and added myself to the bottom of the list.
    I think this is a really great idea!

    I'm in!

    I actually made a list exactly like this but I started on 9/20.

    My goal is to lose 2 lbs for each of the first two weeks, and then 1.5 pounds every week after.

    Excited that other people have the same idea!

    I've actually been weighing myself on tuesdays, and I hope it's okay I stick with that. I'll just have to update the spreadsheet 2 days after everybody else!

    and my other goal is to fit into my jeans that are at the bottom of my pile because they don't fit!

    I am glad that it is not too late to join! I actually set up my own goal counter on the fridge so that anytime I am tempted to reach for any extra food, I will see it. I will add myself on the google doc when I get home.
    Thanks for the challenge as I know it will be a great motivator!
