    Welcome everyone!!! we are so delighted you found us and of course you will be added to our group.
    Everone else- you have until midnight tonight ( wherever you are and in whatever time zone) to get with this challenge.

    Skinnydreams and Candace- thought you had forgotton- so glad you made the weigh in today. Looks like both you ladies are off to a killer start.

    I'll add the new arrivals and update all the stats tomorrow morning.
    I'm off on a night with the girls right now. I got to the gym today and burned those 300 calories I intend to drink back with a fine Pinot Grigio lol! Hey- there has to be a reward at the end of the week, right?
    This week has been awesome and I'm once again so happy to have found this site and all you kick butt gals.
    Where are the men?? I don't think we have any and of course they would be so welcome.
    Have a great weekend all you super skinny, hot tamales!
    Cheers

    Hi! I'm up for the challenge, if it's not too late!

    I have 32 lbs to take off! That's 10 lbs a month, right? It's possible, with a lot of hard work and sweat!

    Current weight: 182
    Goal weight: 150
    Workout: 5 days/week


    I love this site for logging food! It's amazing what you discover about how many calories you've actually consumed!

    I am using a BeachBody product called ChaLENE Extreme. It's a series of exercise DVDs combining weights and aerobics. I also have a gym membership, which I need to start using again. I love the elliptical rider. I also like Spinning classes, but the bike seat hurts my butt, even with the seat pad I bought!

    So, I'll see everyone again on friday, right?

    Ok, I have a weight loss ticker, but I don't know how to put it at the end of my post. If it doesn't show up here automatically, could someone explain to me how to do it? Thanks.

    Hi everyone- and welcome welcome to all the newbies. You are at the right place and I'm so glad you have signed up for our challenge.
    Well- Saturday night out was a blast and happy to report I did not overindulge in the food. We were at a wine tasting event, so the wine- well that's a different story lol!:blushing:
    Yestreday pretty much sucked for me. I totally blew my daily allowed calories and no workout on top of that put me in a funk of dynamic levels.
    Hopped out of bed this morning and made up for yesterday with a killer workout (525 cals burned) at the gym and so far on course with my eating.

    Lesson learned- get back on that horse asap and DO NOT get on the scales after a relapse. This is when I usually throw in the towel and go "What's the point"- no way, not me, not this time. I know tomorrow will reflect today's efforts and I avoided the emotional spiral today by avoiding the dreaded scale.
    Here's to a great week everyone.
    Stay strong!
    Cheers

    Looks like we're right there together at the same weight. I was 186 when we started and 182 this last weigh in.
    Let's rock this and look hot in just 12 weeks.

    Wow....a lot of people have joined the challenge!!! That's AWESOME!!!!

    I've been doing well this week. I've stayed under my calories just a little....which is good for me since I was eating 3000+ calories in the beginning and I am now down to around 1500. This challenge is just what I needed!!!!
