Anyone interested in a weight loss challenge?

WildRumpus · January 2012

I know we've done one before, and I "participated" but not really. Would anyone else be interested in doing one to kind of jumpstart the year? Anyone remember what site we used for the last one?

ETA:
Starting tomorrow (January 6th) for 12 weeks. Weigh-ins will be on Fridays.

Sure, I'm down. I didn't do this before though.

What if I have a pitiful weight loss goal? Can I still participate? I really just need to get into shape, not lose a lot of weight.

krizzo17 · January 2012

I'm in!

ahhhitsshannyn · January 2012

Wasn't it thintopia? I think I participated like the first two weeks and then quit. Whoops.

WildRumpus · January 2012

Aleigh, definitely! I just need someone to hold me accountable. The contract that I just signed for kickboxing will definitely help, but it's always nice to have someone else participating with you

WildRumpus · January 2012

I think you're right Shan

I believe you are correct. I "participated" last time too, but not very well. I need to get in cruise shape, though, and get the weight off I've gained since the wedding.

MyUserName1 · January 2012

I'm in the same boat as Aleigh, I don't need to lose a lot of pounds, but I'm pathetically out of shape and I would like to tone up before May! I'd love to join in if its okay!

dumdumfroggie · January 2012

I'm in!

WildRumpus · January 2012

Let me get something started and I'll post the info here.
Anyone have a preference for how long to make it? 3 months good with you? Preference for weigh in day?

dumdumfroggie · January 2012

3 months sounds like a good amount of time. That puts us to around Spring Break, for those lucky enough to have a Spring Break that is.

I'd prefer Fridays for weigh-ins, personally.

mkrupar · January 2012

I think we did 12 weeks last time (so 3 months would be about right). Thintopia was definitely the site. I'm in. I've still got some to lose.

Girls who don't have a lot to lose it's all calculated by percentage not necessarily lbs. So don't worry!

adamar15 · January 2012

I like Fridays for weigh-in day.

WildRumpus · January 2012

Ok. Starting tomorrow (January 6th) for 12 weeks. Weigh-ins will be on Fridays.

It's telling me the password is invalid.

adamar15 · January 2012

The password isn't working. Did you capitalize the e?

</div><div>Me too. We just started a walking program at work and everyone got a pedometer, so I'm participating in their walking program anyways. I just don't know how things will go after my classes start next week.

mkrupar · January 2012

Yeah, the E is capitalized.

MyUserName1 · January 2012

the E is capitalized. I'm in.

WildRumpus · January 2012

Whoops, sorry!

annakb8 · January 2012

Yes. I am in. I just weighed myself for the first time in a while this morning and I need this.

adamar15 · January 2012

I think I've only weighed myself once over the holidays. I'm scared. I didn't do too bad over Thanksgiving, but Christmas and NYE killed me.

MyUserName1 · January 2012

I think I need to buy a better scale...mine is wonkadoodle.

WildRumpus · January 2012

I haven't weighed myself in well over a month, because the battery on the scale is dead. H is suppossed to be picking one up after work. I'm definitely scared. I know for certain that my BMI would tell me that I'm overweight

chelseamb11 · January 2012

YES!

[Deleted User] · January 2012

I'm mostly a lurker, but I would like to join in because it would be nice to have people hold me accountable to my goals.

adamar15 · January 2012

My BMI is usually OK, but it's the spare tire around my midsection that makes me crazy. It makes me look so oddly shaped unless I'm very careful about what I wear.
