Checking In

Hi everyone.  Just checking in for the first time and I'm anxious to see this work.  I'm hoping this will be a positive site and as well as one that is motivating for those of us having to lose weight prior to surgery.  I'm still around 18 pounds away for getting a date and I can feel my motivation dwindling.  I have re-read my reasons and that has helped to pump me up and I'm getting excited about my new exercise videos coming in this next week so I'm hoping that well get me back in the "losing" game.  Another thing I would like to see is perhaps some type of challenge whether is is exercise, weight loss, or water intake.  I seem to have discovered a competitive side to myself lately.  It usually helps me to keep focused.  I'm hoping to get this weight off this month so I can have my surgery next month.  I would also be interested in getting together again soon.  Take care.

I really like your idea of a challenge of some sort.  I think one of the most positive challenges we could do would be a water intake challenge. Possibly see who can do 80 oz per day or more.  I like doing short term challenges so I think we could start it tomorrow and end it on Sunday.  Just a one week challenge.  What do you think? How have you been doing?  I hope you are doing awesome!  Please tell your mom that I say HELLO! I'm looking forward to getting together with everyone soon! Tonja

I accept the 80oz a day water challenge.  I need more water anyway.   I also suggest the winner gets a free waterbuffalo.   Man, I need some sleep. 

Launa...I really like the new pic.  Beautiful! Tonja

I will accept that challenge also.  Doing 80 oz per day will be a challenge for me.  So I'm in for that.  Do you want us to report daily or at the end of the week.  Where do you get a water buffalo.  How about a new water bottle for the winner.  Good luck everyone.

Reporting in is up to each individual person.  If you want to report in daily or hourly or whatever - it's great!  Just post! Tonja

I'm in I need more water. 

Okay...well post on the "Water Challenge" post and you'll be included!  YEAH! Tonja
