    Hi! I too would like to join if it's not too late/you don't have too many people. Thanks for making this group and putting in even more effort than you're already doing with your weight loss!

    Another great thing about this group is that you can post questions and concerns here without fear of snarky remarks from the forum trolls. At least I hope we have nobody like that here..... :huh:

    Just wanted to pop in briefly and introduce myself. I'm Amy, but everyone on mfp calls me Bru. I'm 26 and married with 2 dogs. Also wanted to say that I won't be in any weigh ins til the end of the year as we are expecting our first Aug 14th. I'm cheering you all on from the sidelines though!

    Yes! Rach, thank you so much for setting this up again. You are a rockstar!

    I hope to be a chattier member this go 'round. Sometimes it's hard for me to just 'jump into' a conversation, but I'm going to try! I need me some accountability!

    Love it :)

    I'm in a ton of challenges and tracking groups so hopefully I remember to update them all! (I'm sure I will ;))

    Intros for those who don't know me:

    I'm 30, an attorney, and married with two dogs (one house gnome (Jack Russell named Bixby) and one muppet (Aussie-poo named Sophie)) and I live outside of Washington, DC. I've been on MFP for...what seems like forever :) Still working on getting my body to where I want it, healthy!

    Feb 6th needs to come sooner!! :)

    No, it doesn't! That would mean: a.) my vacation is over and b.) I have no more time left to get back to where I was on that chart you posted. LOL!

    Oh well - I know that I have been slacking quite a bit since before Thanksgiving and have been back to kicking *kitten* pretty regularly cardio-wise the last couple of weeks. Now, time to stop being such a whiney baby about lifting. I don't really enjoy it so I haven't been doing it and I know that I need to.

    Very much looking forward to having this accountability again, though!! Thanks, again, Rach for starting this back up again!

  • Hi everyone! Until the challenge starts I could use some motivation...anyone want to friend me? It helps me to see everyone else doing so great and makes me want to try harder myself.

    Thanks for starting this, I can't wait!

    ^Added

    I just realised my initial weigh-in might be slightly inflated. On the 5th I have a bridal shower at a fantastic Italian restaurant, then its off to a Super Bowl party. I don't plan on going crazy, but still =\

    I'm so excited Rach is doing this for us again!! It really did help me feel connected and involved in other people's journeys and accountable for my own. :)

    So glad the Pin-Ups are back!! Like others have mentioned, it would be nice to get back to the weight I was at on that chart Rach posted! I've been having a really hard time pretty much since Thanksgiving. Perfect timing for this group to get back together. Ive been trying to work the Paleo "Diet"/ Lifestyle, no sugar is Hard for me!! Anyone else doing Paleo?

    I can't stick to anything that makes me cut out something completely - does that make sense? I've cut back on sugar drastically over the last few years, but I can't just cut it out. I'm one of those "odd" people who believe you should eat carbs, so the no-carb/low-carb diets I can't stick to either. The paleo diet sounds tough, I give you a lot of credit for doing it.

    Thanks Rach for inviting me back to Pin UP....I was so ready to begin this year right and lose the weight, but unfortunately that won't be able to happen because I am expecting :-) I am going to talk to my doctor and ask what I can do to maintain weigh. I won't participate this time around, but if you are still going strong come September, I will be ready!! I will still come back and take part in the discussion though...and hopefully moms out there can give me advice or help me during my pregnancy...it is my first...I'm a bit scared, but excited at the same time!! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!! :-)
