Hey I am looking to do this with someone. I am married and my husband is doing the calorie count with me, however, he does not have the strongest will power and that pulls me down too. He does not try it he does mean well. Then I have trouble getting back up and going. I would like to like to have a group or another person to check in with on a weekly basis to try to lose my 80 lbs needed to be in the ideal weight group... Please let me know if you are interested! This is my first time trying to do a group weight loss!

    I'm interested! :) I can identify with your husband and I don't have good will power. Maybe this will help?!

    I'd love to check in weekly with a group as well. I did Balance Log several years ago, lost my weight, then gained it back! I stopped logging my food. So count me in. I just signed up, so I am very excited!

    Looking for a support group. I too have four children (boys). I am trying to loose 50lbs. I am logging all of my meals, keeping a journal on my blog and I will be posting pictures on the monthly basis. I am in this thing this time to win!

    I think we have to "add as friend"? Click on the name and choose add as friend? Then may be we are able to check in privately between us vs public posts??

    I am also not very creative.... I am going to also sent out a friend request to everyone like avamariah did. Oh this will be so good... Thank you all for joining me... I do have to say I have done pretty well all week except today.. I was in a meeting all day and did not have a chance to eat until I got home. :( We all know what that means. Yup eat way too much. Back on track tomorrow though. That is what I like about this way is I don't feel like I failed. I just had a bad day!

    I was sending messages back and forth with Carneys and I think I will make a blogspot (private blog) for us so we can try. In order for this to work I would need an email address for everyone. (You can create one at gmail with the same username if you would like) Also we need to think of a name for the blog. I am thinking we will be able to all edit it this way and then we can talk on there rather then having to send constant messages. Please let me know what you think if you are in you can send me a message with an email for you to add to the blog as an author! I am so excited for this whole thing!
