You just did, Sue! :-) Post your weight, and Easter goal weight, on Sunday when we all kick off this challenge together. Welcome!

Looks like a really GREAT start on this challenge with a good mix of veteran challengers and first-time folks. This should be FUN.

Here's just a few more reminders about how this works:

• Although the weigh-ins are scheduled to occur on Sundays, as the challenge ends on Sunday, you are welcome to adjust this to whatever works for you. We're definitely flexible here.
• You'll know that I've updated the spreadsheet with your data when you see a "Like" from me on your weigh-in post.
• Everyone who is working toward a goal is welcome to join us in this. We've had some very successful pre-surgery participants before, participants that are at goal, in "maintenance" mode, and simply wanting to maintain their weight, and a whole bunch of us that fall somewhere in the middle. All are welcome here!
• When a question is asked or a comment made that seems to be directed at me, FEEL FREE TO RESPOND. I'm merely the volunteer that keeps the stats for the group...it's really the group itself that keeps the group going, and individual participation in cheering on, consoling, providing input, etc. is really what makes the challenges work for us all. So yes, please, be an active participant when you can!
• The spreadsheet may look a little funny now, with a lot of people showing a start weight of 200 and goal weight of 199. :-) These figures are merely placeholders until the challenge gets rolling. I'll change the text color from gray to black when "real" data gets entered.
• I try to post a kind of wrap-up from the previous week just before a new round of weigh-ins are recorded. In this post I try to list everyone who has crossed a "border" of some kind. For example, I was THRILLED to list my own name in crossing over from the 200s to the 190s (ONEDERLAND) during the last challenge. I'm currently chasing another move from the 190s into the 180s for this challenge and will proudly list my name along with all the others who make a "border crossing".

Hope this helps explain things just a bit, but honestly, you should be able to figure out the challenge "norms" as we move along together. Here's hoping for a great deal of SUCCESS for all in the Easter Challenge!

I'm in. Thanks Bea!
