    Can you handle one more new person? All of the other challenges are in full swing, so it's nice to find a new one starting up. Count me in! I need to be accountable to someone. Thanks for being so welcoming!

    What if you arrive in the tank being carried along by the hot air balloons while wearing the dress. Yes? haha. :laugh:

    And just so we're all on the same page, we start next Tuesday which is actually the 27th, not the 26th! :smile:

    i like that amylou, but, maybe with the weight she has lost she might drift away :noway: .

    i have an idea........:noway:

    how about we all introduce ourselfs and a small story about our weight loss before we get going on tuesday.
    i'll start......

    my name is chipper15173...i am a 50 yr old grandmother of two little girls. i am married over 30 yrs. i have two doggies. i am a diabetic. i have always been over weight and just since 06 have i been trying to really lose it. i lost up to 83#s. but, quit smoking and gained some back. than lost that again, than gained back almost 30 in just the last few months. in fact since may 09. husband was laid off, and life fell apart. i just finished classes to become a realtor. need to take my state.

    share a small part of you with us. we will be great friends by tuesday.

    Hello :flowerforyou:

    My name is Erin but most people on MFP call me Gogo. I am mother of 2 amazing girls, wife to hubs for almost 12 years (together for 16 years), and I work full time. I sit at a desk all day long and pretty much daily I can feel my butt getting wider and wider. I am in pretty good shape and I have always been an active person, so my goal is to tone up quite a bit and maybe just get a little leaner. I am looking to only lose around 13 lbs or so. I like to run and do strength training as my workouts. I like to feel the burn!!

    Good Luck to everyone!

    Hello,

    My name is Tammy and I am a 25 year old Administrative Assistant from Canada. I have been married for just over 1 year now and my husband and I recently bought a brand new house. We would like to start trying to start our family, but I would like to lose some weight and get as healthy as I can before we start.

    I have always been overweight and desperately want to change that now. I need to lose about 100lbs to be a healthy weight so I have a big challenge ahead of me. I don't think I would be able to do it without the support of my friends and most importantly my husband. We are both working together to lose the weight we want and are challenging eachother every step of the way.

    I am so looking forward for this challenge to start next Tuesday and promise I will work as hard as I can for myself and for all of you!! :)

    I want in! These last few lbs are so hard! I am 29, a nurse, mom of 2 (3.5 and 1.5).

    Tervin, I lost 40 lbs before getting pregnant with my kids and it was the best thing I ever did-and great motivation to loose it-I desperately wanted to get pregnant but wanted to be healthy first.... good luck!

    ok, everyone you have just days to get your plans writen out so there are no excuses.
    make a check list. some of us sixers made money jars. we took what ever that was around. decorated them and made a list of things and each one earned us $ at the end of the day.
    example:
    eating right .50
    exercise .25
    water .25

    any amounts you want for what ever you wanted to achive. i am with drtamm i am digging out my jar for the next challenge.

    see you this weekend.

    Well... HELLO ladies! Remember me!? I've been going through a LOT lately... but all is well now, I guess.

    How have you all been? I've missed you! I'm down to 145 now... working my way down slowly but surely
