Time for a challenge!! We all know that the holidays are notorious for having lots of wonderful homemade goodies, along with big extravagant meals and parties. So I'm thinking about starting a challenge to keep us on track during this time.

It'll be open to everyone, and we would weigh in on Mondays since that's the start of the week. So this week would be a recruitment week, and then post all of our beginning weigh ins next Monday. Also, try to think of a goal weight you'd like to be by the end of the year, so we all have something to aspire to. We could also come up with weekly challenges that everyone can participate in if they want to. Overall, it'll just be a really easy going challenge, so to keep us accountable to a group of people :)

If anyone has any other ideas for the challenge let me know!

    I didn't think there would be so much interest so soon! I think we could totally start it tomorrow, and have the first weigh in day be TOMORROW.

    So weigh in tomorrow, and I will come up with some sort of plan to record everyone's weight. :)

    I would love to join! I'm currently 132 aiming for 120 which works out to 1lb per week. It's been tough as I get closer to goal but I'm sure this challenge will motivate me:)

    This is the form we are going to use. Just add your name after the last person and add your info. Your starting weight will be whatever you weigh tomorrow, and that stays the same through the whole challenge. Your current weight will be the one changing each week. I haven't added my starting weight yet since I'm weighing in tomorrow, but I added my goal. You all are free to do the same :)

    Name...........................................Starting Weight.............................Current Weight..................................Goal Weight
    beethedreamer..........................................................................................................................................................165
