To answer your questions............I thought it was hysterical that the reward is FQ I started this by saying trade your fat for FAT's but then I changed it to weight loss challenge with a prize. It sounded nicer. I started the challenge in March and we have new signs ups every month. I lost over 20 lbs at the beginning and have slacked off the last few months do to illness, I am disabled. Lots of people come and go but there have been a few that have been doing it for months. (we have lots of weight to lose) It is a FUN thread and we have become like family and we welcome everyone with open arms. As for you getting to know us, weeeeeellllllllll are lives are like an open book on this thread. We talk about everythin and I mean everything. We all are doing different things to lose weight I count calories. I am hoping I will feel better soon as I can get back open track.

Oh and don't fret about Missy she is harmless, or so THEY say :lol: :lol: :lol:

OK....so this is my first month to do this which I am SO excited about. The only bad part of the whole thing is that getting on the scale thing...ugh!!! Made myself do it this morning and seriously considered the possibility that the thing may need new batteries!!!! Ahhh.....what we will do to rationalize these pounds away. Anywhooo....I am one of those people who firmly believes in "baby steps". I quit smoking and asked nothing else of myself for the 1st month. Then I cut my Diet Cokes and added water. Kept those 2 goals going and then found myself a hobby....yes that's how I ended up here. Believe me, I went through quite a few other things looking for something that fit....mosaic glass art, Chinese Painting, Meditation Classes, Cake Decorating, etc. Needless to say...I found my passion. So now....time to finish my "get healthier" goal. My first objective to achieving this goal is to become more active. So I think for this month, while I will attempt to eat better, I will focus more on making myself go to the YMCA at least 3 times a week. I was thinking, maybe on weeks that I make it 4 times a week I will reward myself somehow...have to think about that. Thanks so much for being here to support me and everyone else on this challenging journey :D
OK Everyone...on your mark....get set....GO!!!!!

No you don't but someone does. Get on the scale and don't look have someone in your house look for you and have them write it down. At the end of the month do the same thing. Now since they will have to bend down to see the scale if it is a loss yyyiiiipppppeeeeeeee if it is a gain smack that person in the head.
