jilliancreates a journey of releasing weight and attracting health.
I am a blogger at heart, so don't mind me if I tend to get a bit long-winded. I've started this thread a few times, but life drew me to other tasks; other responsibilities. I'm going to keep this short and sweet, for now, as I have an entire thread to fill with my story. The one thing I want to share straight away is that…

***UPDATE*** Future of the group
I've decided to run a "group" on my profile page. If anyone wants to join in, feel free to send me a friend request. If there were ever enough interest in the future, I'd consider coming back here.

***WEIGH IN*** August 24
Sorry for the late weigh in post. @JBsJazz @highlandshoppa @ anyone else who may want to weigh in :) My motivation to keep this group going is dwindling right along with the amount of participation. I'm not taking it personally though. I just don't want to waste time basically posting to myself. Please chime in and let me…

***WEEKLY CHALLENGE*** July 31
Since we have a few new people and the rest of us have been "away" for a chunk of time, our first challenge is journaling every day. When we're active in a motivation group, it often rolls over into real life. For those of you new to the group, please start a discussion thread just for you. Introduce yourself. Share your…

Motivation/Inspiration Playlist Picks
Add any of your favorite songs to exercise to...or motivational/inspirational speech tracks. Adding a link (like YouTube) is preferable, but just listing them by song name and artist is fine too.

Weigh in this Sunday
Our trial is done with, and life is suddenly settling down. I just wanted to give a heads up that there will be a weigh in this weekend. As far as the 3 month rounds of the competition, I'm feeling that we should either start a new round this weekend or just do weigh ins without the competition part until the beginning of…

***WEEKLY CHALLENGE*** May 22
I hadn't figured out until today how to do a Yoga challenge, so here we go. This is a 15 minute yoga session (2 videos in 1 playlist). It is slow-paced, with plenty of time to get into a pose and hold it, so there is no need to be an experienced yogi. If you are new to yoga, try to do this workout 2-4 times this week,…
