Thank you for organizing--I'm in!   I do pretty well with my daily steps, but need to bump up the cardio for sure.  Also, since this is my first time on the community board, do I follow you guys here---or is it more of a check-in thing? 

 

2/3:  194

4/27:  180

I would like to join too.  I'm currently 177, and I'd like to get to 170.  I'm shooting for just a half pound a week, so that should be pretty close.

I will get on board as well! I grew up as the underweight girl that struggled to gain and maintain. Stick girl for sure. 90lbs at graduation and even 105 after having my daughter at 27. I developed eczema around 30 and the steroid regimen began and thus the weight slowly crept up on me over the years. I needed most of that weight, for sure, but now I do not feel healthy. I come from some obese genes and must keep my weight in the most healthy zone possible. I started working out hard last year, but due to a knee issue, I had to stop. I am just now beginning to do some light exercise. I am watching what I eat, cutting out alcohol and cutting back on carbs and sodium while trying to get this all this daily water in my body. I am currently at 157, hoping to ultimately be at 135 while toning up the "mommy marks" area. I SO need support and, having been on both sides of the fence, I know the struggle is real. Good luck to you all and let's do this!!! ( Also trying to get my sig other to join me in this struggle too!)

I've never done a challenge but think it will be fun to have a thread to check in weekly and cheer others (well,with votes)working on a goal at the same time. I've had my fibit since Christmas and have done very well,but I want to make sure I Keep my routines into Spring when I have a lot more things I need to do(I don't know how many calories those other things will burn yet!   Smiley Very Happy ). This challenge is perfect timing for me so thank you @Annie-NH.

Feb 3--- 162.8

April 27 goal---  150

Annie,

 

I am in the same boat - getting back on track starting Febuary 1st.  Over the winter, I've gained from 255 to 264 after originally starting my tracking at 296 lbs.  My goal for 4/27/16 is 249.

Okay, I'm finally actually motivated to lose weight...it took my brain some time to get on board. I started 3 weeks ago at 192 and without really trying, I'm currently at 187 and have a goal of 150, but in 12 weeks my goal is 169.

Count me in I'm 11st 12lb and so down and out about my weight! Really need to get motivated, and get moving. Healthy eating is an up hill battle for me 0 will power.. But I'm working on it. Ideal weight would be 9st 7lb however in these 12 weeks I'd love to loose 10-12 lb to get me kick started. If anyone wants to add me please do.
