  • Bea's having a GOOD DAY today! For the first time in 28 years my BMI says I'm "overweight" instead of "obese"! I hit 200.0 today and could not be MORE THRILLED! I showed increases or the same weigh

  • I know it's not weigh in day yet, but I am so excited about what I saw on the scale this morning! I reached my goal of ONEderland!! So excited to finally break 200lbs. Just hope it keeps going in this

Man you stay on top of it! I'm definitely in. Let's keep the momentum going. This time we'll all have the luck of the Irish on our side!!!!

Thank you so much for doing this, I'm in!,

This is perfect!! I was setting a goal for myself for that week anyway because that will be my 6-month anniversary. I'm really hoping to hit 100 pounds lost by the end of that week. I'm IN!!! :-)

Count me in please.

Interested. What all does this involve aside from recording weekly weight statistics?

I am in!

That's pretty much all there is to it, Miss Mac.

It's just that some of us have discovered that, personally, there might be just a bit more. It seems that in the challenges we develop a group dynamic (100 people or so) that lasts for a few weeks, which is really a perfect length of time. For that period of time we cheer each other on, commiserate when there are stalls, ask questions, share opinions, and perhaps work just a little harder to show a loss on weigh-in day.

People come and go, so it's not always the same people moving from challenge to challenge. That's also kind of a neat aspect...knowing that you can drop out for one without a problem and jump back in on the next one if you think it might be fun again.

But for me I think the biggest things are that it keeps me engaged and upbeat, even when I have bad week; it keeps me informed about the challenges others are facing from week to week and what they are doing to address them; and it keeps me accountable, knowing that I'll be reporting in to the group every week and working just a little bit harder to make, or get close to, my goal.

So...we hope you decide to join us, but it's really up to you. Good luck in your journey!

Count me in then.

I am definitely in! This has been such a huge help to me!! Thanks Bea!!

I'm in!!! Missed the valentine challenge!!
