    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

    Hey - are there going to be weekly weigh ins maybe? So we know how everyone is doing and keeping each other motivated?

    Hey yes I think every Saturday is a good day? also gives you an incentive not to party on a Friday night and just do it once a week...unless you are sticking to my alcohol ban - I'm going to try and do No Alcohol and No Chocolate from 2 January until I reach my goal weight - will inspire me to get it done quicker and not cheat.

    Shall I do a discussion every Saturday to get your weight/measurements?

    I will also put a weekly challenge on whether it be diet or exercise related or both. x

    I have stopped weighing in and filling my diary.
    Just wanted to see how much weight I have put on over the Christmas period..

    New year resolutions will be sorted out by this challenge start date and one is to stop smoking..
    I know we can all do this together and I look forward to motivating and inspiring a few of you..

    Good luck all
