    hey guys thanks for all being so positive about this challenge. I am really looking forward to starting this now :)

    No I just mean a minimum of 4 times a week...the challenge is to lose 25lbs in 25 weeks (or less)...I just put a few of the rules I will be sticking to on the group to give you guys some guidance but obviously tweak them to suit you :) But we all need to get those 25lbs off so whatever works best for you is the right way to do it! x

    Great ideas but truly 500 calories per hour for a workout might be difficult for me , I am 49 yrs with creeky knees and 191lbs yes I definetly can do 300 cals but I am all psyched for this challenge to really budge/ move the scale it has to be above the comfort zone.

    I've got a spreadsheet already and waiting if you want it.
    We used it on The Biggest Loser...

    But if you want to sort one that's ok..

    I am very excited to get started! Any suggestions for exercises? I will be honest, I hate exercising and sweating worse than going to the dentist! lol....So, what would be a good way for a beginner to start? I have X-Box Kinect, does that count?

    Do you have Dance Central?
    You can also get Your Shape Fitness evolved and Your shape 2012 is just coming out...
    Jillian Micheals from The Biggest Loser America does them both..
    You can also get The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout..
    Zumba a good one too...

    There is also a very good app for the Android called Workout Trainer.. Shows you the exercises and also counts down with you.
    Good luck

    Hey guys,

    Hope you are all preparing for 2 January :-)

    Andy I would love for you to email me the spreadsheet if you could? can you send it to my email address xxkels_exx@hotmail.com?

    I will keep track of everyone's weights/measurements. Dont forget to sort your "treat" item out so as soon as you hit the 25lbs you can go out and buy it :) keep a pic of it somewhere too so it will spur you on xx
