    UPDATE: The votes are in & it looks like we MIGHT be making the T.H.E. thread into a group. Whether it will be a private group or a public one hasn't been decided yet & I'm getting a few more details from Steven before making a FINAL decision.

    It's been a stress filled week for me. MIL was at her doctor appointment this week & fell in the parking lot. She has dislocated her shoulder, her thumb & broke her nose. So this proves that she can't live alone (FIL passed away in June) & the decision needs to be made that either someone is going to have to move in with her or she is going to have to move in with one of us.
    I have been doing my best to watch my calorie intake & also get some type of exercise in (one more week of p/t for me) but have really been in pain if I am on my feet for more than 20 minutes. So, I don't expect to see a weight loss when I step on the scale on Monday & won't be very surprised if I see the scale move in the wrong direction again.
    But I am taking things one day at a time & hoping for the best.

    After much consideration, I have decided to make the T.H.E. team a group.
    I figured this was the easiest way for people who are either joining MFP or have been members for awhile to find us.
    You can now find by clicking on the GROUPS tab which you will find at the top (in the blue bar) after clicking on the COMMUNITY tab.
    I hope I have done everything right when it comes to setting us up as a public group. If you have any difficulties or find any errors, please let me know.

    Hi everyone!

    I got an invitation to join when I first joined MFP a couple weeks ago and have just started exploring the boards (and discovering how nice having encouragement and support from fellow members can be!). I am 25 and I am less than a month away from completing my second university degree (degree 1 = forensic anthropology; degree 2 = nursing). I am currently planning my wedding which is scheduled to take place May 18th 2013 and I would like to have a seriously hot body by then! I'm thrilled with my progress since joining MFP and I really hope to keep it going (I feel a plateau looming on the horizon....I've dropped almost seven pounds in two weeks and I can't imagine I'll be able to maintain that for much longer!). I've been weighing in at random times so far, and often more than once a week but from now on, Mondays are going to be my official weigh in day.

    My stats:

    Height: 5'8.5"
    SW: 166.8lbs
    CW: 160.4lbs
    Short Term Goal: 155lbs by Christmas
    Long Term Goal: 145lbs by May 2012 (or a size 6, since I think muscle gains might mean I can't hit 145)

    Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

    Hello, my name is Yvonne and I just joined this group. Presently I weigh 302.6 and have lost 27 lbs since joining MFP last year at this time. I'm looking to "kick things up a notch" and really move forward with my health improvement efforts.

    Hello all!

    I just got an invite to join y'all here and I'm guessing this is the way to do it?

    My name is Charlotte and I am here to connect with other gals who are trying to get into the best shape of their lives and wanted to help be a source of motivation to all of you and myself.

    I've struggled in one way or the other with weight for most of my life and now my goal is to lose 17-20 lbs by my first wedding anniversary in November.

    I know that the weigh in day is supposed to be Monday, but I weigh every week on Sunday morning so I will go ahead and throw those numbers up right now:

    Current weight: 167
    Target: 150 (ish)

    Interestingly enough, I've been doing Jillian Michael's Body Revolution for the past month and at first I lost 5 lbs, but I have gained it all back in the last week; although I've dropped in my body fat %, so I'm going to chock that up to building lean muscle mass and not worry about it too much. I also currently run 3-4 miles about 3 times a week and I'm training for my first 5K in Sept!

    Would be interested to hear what everyone else is doing and compare notes! Please also feel free to add me as a friend!

    Be well,
    Charlotte
