    Welcome one! Welcome ALL! I'm excited for this! All of us need as much support and motivation as we can get! So far I am at 72 ounces of water, and I'm under calories, just gotta see what I can do for dinner and stay under. I'm about to drink a green tea- does anyone else drink green tea? I drink it cold and sometimes I add splenda.

    I just came off of two weeks of not doing well. I'll probably be checking in everyday. Tonight I plan on running to get my 30 minutes of cardio exercise in & I'm going to do my kettle bell!

    Thanks to everyone who has joined so far!

    Tarran knows me but for those of you who don't my name is Tina I graduated High school almost 12yrs ago at 135lbs, thing was I had a bad habit of smoking and quit and replaced that habit with FOOD, i never seen myself getting bigger cause everyone around me was always bigger so I got comfortable and didn't think anything til March 2009 when my doc looked at me and said I really don't want you to even think of having kids til you get some weight off, I was up to 330lbs! So off I went & in 19months I dropped 156lbs as of last fall (2010) I was down to 176lbs 14 shy of my goal, then stress of buying/selling houses came and I didn't track/workout hardly cause I was SO BUSY! & STRESS! As of last month I was back up to 218lbs in the last month I was able to drop another 6lbs!

    I am getting back on track so we can continue to try and have a family & get in shape like I used to be so I can do more things with my hubby and our future kids and live a long healthy life together! We will be celebrating our 7yr wedding anniversary Feb 14th next year!

    So as of when I weigh'd in 4 days ago I was down to 212.5 roughly (using the wii fit board don't have a scale)

    So I am here for this challenge, water is a toughy on me, mainly cause I had a ultrasound a month ago and the amount of water I drank...... yeah I get that feeling im drowning if I drink to much now but here is to the challenge!

    Thanks Tarran =)

    ps.. 2-5lbs would be nice maybe more? lets wait and see =D

    In the grand scheme of things how long is 14 days? Do you remember 14 days ago? If you think about it 14 days is a very short amount of time, sometimes it passes us by without us even realizing it. So I propose a challenge, it is only 14 days and its very easy. Anyone can do it-- so join if you want! We can use this same thread.
    We will weigh in 3 times. Starting Weight: today, Mid way: December 11 The end: Dec 18.
    The challenge: For the next 14 Days you will do 3 things:
    1. 30 minutes of cardio
    2. Stay under your calories
    3. Drink 8 cups of water
    *****If you want to join, please stay with it- I'll keep us updated and let everyone know who the biggest loser is midway! Please post here if you want to join, your name, your starting weight (today) and how much you hope to lose by the end of this 14 days and a little bit about yourself******


    My name is Sarah, I'm 32 yrs old and getting married May 19th 2012! I need mini goals like this to keep me going! So thanks for starting this challenge! I've been on here since Aug and only have lost 14 lbs. All told I have lost 22 lbs since June when Kevin proposed. Hoping I will lose another 60 lbs by the wedding date (wishful thinking but I think I can do it)! My big thing is sodium also and I drink a lot of water!

    Today I worked out for 45 mins, under my cal's (didn't go into my exercise cal's) and I've had 64 ozs of water so far today!
    My goal in the next 14 days is to lose at least 4 lbs in the 14 days!

    Start weight today: 284lbs
    Dec 11th goal: 282lbs
    Dec 18th goal: 280lbs

    I'm in! My name is Jen. SW 201.8. At the end of the 14 days I want to lose at least 4 pounds, but I'm hoping for more. I have been snacking on too many holiday goodies the last few weeks, and this is exactly what I need to get a new boost!

    My name is Ali. I am 46. I have not weighed myself recently, but I guess I am about 160 #. Will weigh myself first thing in the morning and post it here, if that is OK. Only drank 2 glasses of water today. Too late to drink 8 glasses of water but I will drink 9 glasses a day for the next 6 days to make up. I already did 1 hour of walking (pace around 3 miles an hour). My goal is to loose 4# by the end of two weeks. May I join?
