    We are officially at 80 members! Seriously? I so can't believe it! I am so excited and am doing my walking every day and logging my food every day.

    Thanks to everyone who has joined so far and thanks to those who will still join in the future.

    We have posted a mini-challenge for the week involving food. Here's the topic so you can check it out if you haven't already!

    Good morning all!!!

    Sorry to miss out on yesterdays posts- but it was a long weekend for me and no internet at home. I am SO looking forward to this challenge to kickstart the year. I admit, I have been present- but not doing my best. I think this challenge is just the thing to get me going. I entered my starting weight and the spreadsheet calculated my ideal loss- and let me tell you, I was a little intimidated by the number. I haven't been able to keep these three pounds off(just keeping gaining and losing the same three)- to see that I am expected to lose SIXTEEN is a little challenging to say the least. I've decided to just concentrate on one week at a time though.

    Anyone else feeling like that?

    :)

    I feel the same way! I have beeen halfheartedly working at it, but just like you I've been battling the same 3 pounds up and down the scale. I think seeing the number I am shooting for will help me. It's not a huge amount to lose, but 8% will make a HUGE difference!

    Good luck!

    The numbers can be intimidating...trust me...I know! Please remember that it's a goal. It's something for us to reach for. I picked 8% and that gives me the need to lose almost 23. When I calculated it I almost changed it...or dropped out. LOL But we can do this. We're here to help each other through this. I know the holidays are super tough on me with the food and a lot of inactivity. I'm glad you all are here with me to get through this!

    I would love to join this challenge. I've been off track for the last 3 months and need some motivation.
    I guess I missed the first weigh-in, but my starting weight as of this past Monday was 248.
