Ok, this group came about from one of my posts.... It seemed that a lot of us are in the same spot (I'm in the middle of my second week) so we thought how fabulous to start a group for all of us on the "same page" so to speak.
So, for now, I am identifying us as JUNE STARTERS becuase we haven't came up with a name yet :happy:

Ok, in this post....
People in this group need to have started their new journey to weight loss and/or a fitter person in June....recommittments count...that is where I am right now.... I'm a recommitter and I started two weeks ago... So, if you fit this description, welcome! :happy:
We want to start by you posting your starting weight, current weight (ew, I know) weight goal and any mini goals that you may have. If you want to share a little about yourself that is fine too.
We want to really good a good idea of who our group members are, so be sure to reply to this post!!!
Ok....

    Welcome! I notice you quit smoking too. May I ask how you did it?

    Me? I quit using the nicotine patch. I'm actually using the generic brand because I had bad skin reactions to the NicoDerm CQ brand (and it made my arm feel REALLY weird). Only two weeks left and I'm off the patch. woo hoo! :bigsmile:

    I was an on/off smoker for 6 years (10-16) and then I smoked regularly a pack a day for 8 (16-24). The patch really does help!! Once you decide to do it, you'll find its a lot easier with the aids than you think. You can do it! :flowerforyou:

    My name is Jessica and I just started about two weeks ago. I don't have much weight to lose, but I'd really like to get back in shape (I'm so un-fit!!) and tone up.

    Start weight: 120
    Current weight : 117
    Goal weight: 110

    By the way, if you're looking at the picture I have posted and think "There's no way she needs to lose weight!", it was taken about five or six years ago when I was probably 107 pounds. :blushing:

    Hello Ladies!
    My name is Erica, I live in the Rocky Mtns, about 30 miles west of Vail. I gained close to 30 lbs 2 years ago when I quit smoking. Have not touched it since!
    I am the Mother of two 13 yr old boy and 5 yr old girl. I have been married to my husband for 9 years-yesterday.

    Starting Weight 178.5
    Current Weight 176
    Goal Weight 155
    Mini Goal 165 by July 26th

    I exercise almost everyday, I love to mtn bike and I was a big runner until I got hurt the beginning of April and have been out of commission since then with Therapy and the works. May get to start running again next week, slowly. I would love to run a half and full marathon one of these days just to say I did it!
