    This sounds exactly like what I need to get refocused! I've let exercising get away from me (I'm pretty good at being under my calorie goal), so this is perfect. I saw a few of you are starting 30DS, I think I will join you. I'll confirm my starting weight tomorrow :wink:

    Also feel free to add me as a friend, we could all use the support :flowerforyou:

    Good Luck!

    Can I still get in on this? I haven't been part of a group yet...I think it would be good to have some others to bounce off.

    I'm currently at 140.2 lbs
    I'm doing Zumba 2-3x's per week, walking 2-4 x's per week, and I'm on day 4 of 30DS. I don't plan on changing anything up...since I just added 30DS and it is kicking my hiney!

    Thanks! Hope I can join :)

    I'm in. I've not been as consitent as I was last semester. But I'm ready to start losing, and get off the maintenence train. Right now my SW is 187 and I want my GW 180 by halloween. That's 7 lbs!!! That is what I averaged per month when tracking everyday and 60 of workout per day 6 days a week. I'm ready to get back on track to weight loss.

    Glad to see so many people up for the challenge! I know we can do this.

    Another thing that I am going to do differently for this next month is I am going to track EVERYTHING that I eat. I know that makes me think twice before I eat certain things. If I eat something I know I shouldn't, I usually don't post it. Holding myself accountable!!!

    I'm in! :D

    Starting Weight: 190.8
    Goal Weight (for 10/31): 185.8


    Currently I've been doing a lot of blues dancing and ballroom dancing (typically three to five times a week, for upwards of 3 hours in an evening), but in the last few weeks I've skipped a few nights of dancing.... and, this is the part that's killing me, I've let my diet slide entirely.

    For this challenge, I'm going to be getting back on track with my diet, and keeping up my dancing throughout the week. I've also just recently started a stone carving class, so on Wednesday nights I'm going to be getting about 3 hours of standing up and swinging a hammer.... dunno how much that'll help or not, but it's at least something.

    If anyone wants to add me, feel free! :)

    I'm in! I'm going to post my weight once I weigh in tomorrow, but I'm likely going to strive for 6-7 lbs instead of 5.

    definitely up for this!
    currently around 138 lbs but my scales are pretty dodgy
    also, when is the best time to weigh yourself? in the morning i'm usually 138, but by the evening i can be up to 142 or worse :s
    it's driving me CRAZY
    aiming to run 3 miles every day this week, aswell as walking to and from college (just under 2 miles each way).
    have taken up yoga, is FANTASTIC, highly recommend it!
    anyway good luck everyone xxx

    I weigh in the morning after my morning tinkle butt naked. Same time, same status.

    However, I will occasionally (read usually) weigh myself at night too and it is generally 3-4 lbs more than morning weight. Therefore, I have a morning weight and an evening weight....weird I know. But, I don't stress out over the number and really only track the morning weight once a week.

    I am definitely in! I am having the same dilemma. I find I hold myself accountable when I participate in things like this. It is so hard to do it on your own.
    My current weight is 130.8
    My goal weight is 125
