OK, LAST WEEK I was looking for ladies to join me in my weight loss challenge.If you read my last posting(How Daring Are You Weight Loss Challenge) I said I was going to post my weight.. All of you that said you would join, I am personally going to send you a reminder message (later) as I am getting ready to run outside..

I feel that if I am accountable to someone other than myself I can probably lose the 20 lbs. I am excited.. Hope I can motivate some ppl to join in with me..

Every Monday we will post our weight.. Discuss what we did to loose. Some of us may fall off, but you know what, we get back up and try again..It will be nice to find out how you are doing, I know I will be posting how crazy I am feeling, knowing my husband the enabler is bringing me carrot cake (and this time Im going to say NO, because I have to be accountable to you)I know I will put half the amount of food on my plate because I have to be accountable to you.. I know I will not be eating that cheetos in front of the television tonight when I am looking at "THE BACHELOR"lol. How can I not lose the weight with that kind of motivation..

I am sure everyone will learn from each other. Please join me!!!!!

So I pledge today to loose 15 lbs. I am 5ft 8 inc tall and I weigh 182. lbs.. There I said it!!!!

I am hoping that a number of ppl will, but honestly all it takes is one more person..

Live, Love, Laugh, Do Not Take Things Personal.

Ok, thus far I hope am not scaring ppl off, I have six views and no replies which is ok.. just looking for that one person who wants to do a friendly challenge, which in turn motivates..Maybe the posting of the weight might be a little to bold for some ppl, but I just figure its a way to motivate..

 Im in with you too.I chose to walk a couple of blocks today even though my legs hurt so bad.

5'11 and 290 lbs.My monthly goal is 10 lbs a month.I can only set a challenge I  can relate to since in the past I have failed misserably.

I am about 5 lbs more than when I delivered my 4 yr old so it is time to be able to challenge myself.

I want to take pics to see my progress but I cant even look at photos people has taken with clothes on.......let alone in tank top.

Awesome, Thank you for responding.. At least you got your exercise out of the way already"walking". It is my plan to go the gym today as well.. Yesterday, I would have said, maybe today (ITS I MUST). I prefer walking but Im in Illinois, it snowed yesterday and its downright cold.. So Later to the gym.. We will post again on Monday.. see what works and what didn't work.. Im not going to say Im perfect at this but Iam willing to give it a try and glad I now have some friends that I can share my progress with and hear theirs as well.. So welcome aboard.. I plan to share some ideas later.. So check back on later.. Have a great day and let me know if you read, hear or know anything that would help us..We can only learn from each other.. :)

I don't post very often - but I'll accept the challenge.  I actually just got started w/ my cousin on Friday night, and it was very embarrassing to tell her that I weigh almost twice her weight.  

I'm in the process of changing my name back to my maiden name (March 12 is my court date), and my goal is to be able to post here and on facebook on that day, "Not only have I lost ___ lbs since the first of the year, I've also lost an entire last name!"

My daughter is getting married in Sept. as well, so my goal by then is to be able to wear a dress style that I can only dream about right now.  Not that I have to lose 100# or whatever by then, but just to be able to wear something that is more tailored than I wear now. 

I am 5' 2.5" tall (short), and as of Saturday morning, I weigh 255#.  (My cousin was surprised - she said I don't look like I weigh that much.  My mom always said I am "more solid" than I look.  I think I carry 1/3 of it in my stomach.)

I love this idea. I have no friends here where I live so this would be great encouragement. I was sick last week with bronchitis so sorry I didn't answer.

Hello. I wish you all the best on March 12th.. (its never easy) but sounds like you have it under control.. I am glad that you decided to join in just women cheering on each other. Getting into that dress is very attainable.. Lets do this.. We post our weight again on Monday, but we stay in touch thru out the week.. just a line to see whats going on..If you know, hear, of anything that helps towards our goal please post. It all about losing and enjoying..For me, its my mind.. No matter how good the diet and you are not ready mentally, its not going to work.. So i PLEDGE that I am ready..(I may fall off"may") but what happens, we get back up.. Yeah.. Talk to you soon..
