Okay girls and guys!
Here are some ground rules:
1. We will have to do a "weigh in" I know this is hard and embarassing, but it needs to be done, in order to motivate each of us to get healthy
2. We will have weight checks, every other week.
This most likely will be based on an honesty policy, but we can and may schedule surprise weigh ins through out the 6 mos. Your weights can be emailed to me. mortconst@msn.com
Subject: weigh in
3. You need to be serious about this! Do you want me to post your number, or just pounds lost? Me? I am posting it all, as I know that is what it will take to motivate me most! * If you would like- you could use a secret name, that only I will know!
4. We are going to try and do a "pot" with a cost of $5 a month.
If you can not afford to, nor want to be able to win the pot, that is okay, you can still play for free, you just aren't eligible in the end for the money!
We will talk later about maybe 2nd and 3rd place money or prizes!
* Money is due by 10th of each month!!! ( send to me, either $5 or pre pay the full $30)
Remember this is all about becoming more healthy. I want everyone to post recipes, workout tips, and each week, I will try and give you some sort of extra boost, to help with your weight loss. Ex:
This week fit into your routine at least 3 days:
30 push ups
50 Jumping jacks
50 crunches
I will also see about getting groups together to get outside for some excercise, kids included ( maybe a day at the zoo, etc.) and also work on doing 2-3 times a week at my house, a 30 minute DVD or something. Everyone is welcome!
I am also really considering along with the weigh in, and inches lost contest too, as some of us might lose inches before weight. It is up to you, it will only help your chances of becoming the biggest loser!
Contest begins Tues. April 1st, 2008
I will not be participating til May sometime, and the contest will end on October 1st, 2008. ( I am considering doing a 3 month contest- what do you think? )
At that point for those of you ready, we will begin a new one!
I am also going to monthly, designate partners! This will be someone you know, or a stranger, that will offer some support to you, to keep you motivated.
Whether it is sending an email, or card, someone to help keep your spirits up!~
Meeting new people, is not a bad thing folks!
Please post a response if you are interested in joining this group.
Have a good day!

I am soooo in!
My weight as of yesterday was
154 lbs
I am 5'2"
and that put me at "over weight"
and my BMI ( Body mass index ) is:
28.2
I will post my weight gains, until I have the baby- then maybe take 2-3 wks. off and start on the weight loss.
If I get gutsy enough, I may post pictures! YUCK!
I am sooo in and sooo excited!!! As of this morning I weigh (Jen this is so embarresing!) 137 lbs and am 5'7". I have pictures, the are not pretty though. Did I mention I am excited for this!
Britt-
Your BMI is 21.5
And you are a " Healthy weight "
Maybe you shouldn't be doing this!!!
It is okay, we will learn new eating healthy habits, and stuff!
Welcome aboard, and thank you so much for posting your numbers, it will help inspire us all!
Hugs!
Im so in!!!! I actually need to loose it faster but in a heathy way. Josh and I are going to san deigo with his company the end of may for a fun beach vacation and I need to look as good as i can. But i have to do it healthy so i can keep up the caleries to still breast feed. I have friends that do it up here in heber.. she posts the winner ever other week for that weigh in,, i think we should do a prize after 6 mo. maybe some cool thing and prsent it at like a dinner party with everyone involved. how the hell did you figure out your bmi? I am heading out now to go buy a scall. i will let you know my weight as soon as i get back from the store.
AMber-
I love the idea of a dinner! Maybe a bbq or something- that would be fun!
Send me your weight and height and I will get your BMI figured out for you!
Hugs!
I don't have a scale, but I will buy one asap.
weight. 135 lbs.
Height. 5'4"
Amber-
Your BMI is:
23.2 " Healthy weight" and you are even 9 mos. pregnant!
Do ya love how amber weighs less then me and she is 9 months prego. Yeah I'm feeling real good about myself right now hehe.
Don't worry Britt- I am "overweight" and pregnant, 9 mos. and she isn't!!!
We are all built differently.
I am short torsoed, other girls have long torso's maybe short legs!
I am thinking that you and Amber shouldn't pay to play, since you guys are already skinny, just trying to be healthier!
I think anyone with 20 or more to lose should think of paying to play though!
I think I will put together a prize package too though, maybe some of my Gold Canyon Candles, a vinyl saying or something. Maybe even monthly prizes, just something small!
Anyway! Don't stress, my friend is 5'7" also, and she did not like how much you DON'T weigh! I think she looks fine though.
I also think that the "average" for certain heights isn't all the correct anyway!
Hugs!
I can throw in a pair of designer jeans to the winner of the whole thing! brit,, look at my mom.. and she thinks that she needs to loose,, now she has issuse,, lol I really just want to do it to push me to loose the baby weight in a healthy way so if breast feeding works out this time I can keep up healthy calories.., Besides I wish i had a built hot bod like you but i have a really hard time haveing the cute sporty body that i love and wish for! lol but i do get those saggy ass boobs when i loose weight,, be happy you dont look like your boobs are freakin 90 yrs old., love ya
