Deimos, congratulations on your loss! I'll bet you feel better overall, too, don't you?

I need to cut down on beer/wine and exercise a little more. I'd love to join this but honestly I don't really need to gain/or lose any weight. I just need to tone up the fat I have, get a "summer body", and get back in shape since I quit smoking 7 or 8 months ago. I didn't realize how bad in shape I have gotten until I boxed on the Wii for several hours yesterday.

 

The beer/wine part is going to be really hard, I like to drink wine with supper quite a bit and I tried a Miller 64 yesterday, they are awful. Plus, I don't like gyms or lifting weights, never have, and probably never will...it is too boring for me. Anyone have any ideas on exercises I can do at home and don't require expensive equipment (besides longer walks with the dog).

Sounds like P90X would be perfect for you.

It's amazing how much better I feel.

Great your final cravings in today. I am going to make a thread pretty late tonight to start the event because I am sure some would want to post their weights in the morning and I may not be awake yet. So, be looking for the weigh-in thread tomorrow and hopefully I will be able to get a moderator to sticky it.

So we can post our weight at any time tomorrow ?

 

I've been eating like a horse the last few weeks and plan on doing the same tomorrow. The first 10-15 pounds should come off real quick for me :lol:

Yeah, anytime tomorrow I guess. I was gonna post mine later in the evening lol.

I am going to need to be reminded on weigh in days b/c I don't have a scale.

Well tomorrow is your first, but if for whatever reason someone forgets or can't get their weight in til Monday...it's no big deal.

 

The goal isn't to win the competition, cause there really isn't a prize lol...the goal is to lose weight as a group and feel good about ourselves when it's done.

 

Did we decide on a total amount we want to lose as a group? I know BF was talking about it before.

Same here. I'm thinking an hour or two after the UK game.

I voted for 1,000 pounds--especially if we're going to do this for a whole year. With our current list of participants, that comes out to 25.64 lbs. per person. If we can get one more person to throw their hat into the ring, we can make it a nice, neat 25 lbs. each.

Well a 1000 pounds it is... I plan to have my share of it off for sure by the six month mark. Not it's a matter of keeping it there and maybe shedding a few more too.

I say 1,000 pounds as well. My goal it to lose between 50 and 75 lbs by Christmas.
