Hello!

Well, I have an AWESOME group of members already and we just completed an 8-week challenge. Rules are simple - we post our weights weekly on Mondays and I update a spreadsheet. The "Biggest Loser" of the week then drops by with a fitness challenge for all members to complete during the week. This is in addition to the personal challenge I post for everyone each week. We have a lot of fun and lose a lot of weight.

We are opening up our challenge for NEW MEMBERS! Wanna Join? Come right over.

We are re-starting a 10-week challenge. Our first weigh-in is Monday, July 30th.

So.... if you want to join... here's what you need to do:
(1) Post your current weight (starting weight for the challenge)
(2) Set a goal for 10 weeks from now (Weight-loss, fitness, clothes... anything)
(3) MOTIVATE yourself to participate in our weekly forum discussion. The more involved you are, the more fun it is. And you'll remember to weigh-in.

I'm not looking for people who are going to stick around for 2 weeks and then vanish. Dedication!!!!! WOO! :smile: :smile:

After you post here, I'll send you a message and an invitation to our group. :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

    It's just a discussion board like this... we just keep each other motivated and updated throughout the week.

    What I meant was... I'm not looking for people who are just going to post their weigh-in on Monday and vanish the rest of the week.

    I'd like to join. I'm moving into my first apartment, and I just picked up my key to the company gym (which I can visit during my hour lunch break). I need some motivation. Since I started work I've gained nearly 20 lbs (I sit at a desk all day). I could really use the help, and the company, on my way back down to size.

    Staring Weight: 174
    Goals: Fit in my size 12 pants, weigh less than 160 lbs., and be more fit.

    I'm hoping that with this new apartment I'll be able to slowly gather a new wardrobe (one with less XLs and Ls and more Ms)

    I've never participated in a challenge - sounds like fun! My current weight is 165 and I'd like to be down to 150 at the end of the 10 weeks.
