spring exercise, accountability challenge...

 OK. We didn't get together at Becca's but we can still do this..
Anyone who wants to participate sign up today..  Todd and I will draw names and then I will post the pairings tonight so we can start tomm..


  Rules:  Which are open to suggestions!!
 1)   you are accountable to yourself and your partner.. Weight and exercise or weight.. depends on what your doing.. EX. Leslie is on maintenance so she can do Weight only..
2)  two month time frame.. You set your goal, post it on the thread  and then private message OR post on the board your starting weight..
3)  The plan is for it to end in April, and the winner of each pairing gets a "surprise" from the partner.. so we need to set a dollar limit.. OR what you could do is put back a dollar a day during the challenge too.. you all decide..
 In April we plan a get together where we can exchange the "Surprises" and celebrate that we are gonna look awesome in our bathing suits this year!! So what do u think?

I'm in!  This is a great idea!  I don't know my current weight as I'm on a "scale boycott", but my goal by the of April is to be under 200 pounds.  I hope that's doable, as it's about 20 pounds in 2 months.  When I go to the doctor on the 17th I'll weigh and PM my partner my current weight at that time or update my ticker.

I think the $ a day during the challenge is a great one, but I don't care - just having a partner will be a great incentive for me!!

Thanks for starting this Dawn.  I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you all yesterday.

welcome the more the merrier...  We try to get together atleast once a month.. we have a blast and its great for us, it motivates me!!
  Welcome to the challenge.. Im thinking I might  call it the BIKINI CHALLENGE!!
HEHHEhee

HECK YEAH!   I want to play!.. ...  I kind of like the idea of a dollar limit as opposed to a dollar a day...I think 60$ +  would end up beig a little much...

hijack - i just had to reply to this post because everytime I see your avatar it makes me smile...

you  know I didnt even think of it coming to 60 dollars! lol.
 Ok so what dollar amount girls??
man its gorgeous outside!I have my windows open!!!

I am in - if you can manage to get someone to pair up with me

I just need someone willing to learn my rules, I am very willing to learn yours

My weight is posted - my life is an open book
I want to be under 180 by April 15th

Exercise - I think I need strength training - like weight lifting almost to firm up the flabbiness losing weight has left behind, I also will commit to walking - I even bought a pair of tennies.

Surprise - I don't know but I think we are all winners - we work hard, we try and encourage each other and we don't seem to mind our differences.  I think we all deserve a prize!

I just really want someone to talk to, and be accountable to - don't have anyone around me who has been where I am and no one to talk to about it ---   Becka's got it made in the shade with a surgically altered man in her house - mine eats all his food and mine too and doesn't gain a pound.  I love him but damn.....

eta - Becka instead of Dawn - I am living surrounded by towers of boxes and have had no appetite for days - sorry girls - I really do know the difference

 Becca has the surgery altered man..
mine eats house and home

Oops, I knew that - too many thoughts in my little brain this morning - going to edit

LOL....he may be surgically altered but he can still drag me down the path of temptation!!

I wonder why I had such an easier time keeping myself on track when I was the only one banded in this house and he was an eating machine.  Now that he's banded too there's some sort of mental thing that goes on inside of my that says I can make poor choices too when he does it!!
