who wants in on a GP weight loss group?

FlipFlopChick

How often should we do a check-in?

Any other suggestions?

InsyNCurtis

I'm in... I have about 15 pounds that need to GO!

Um... once a week?

Nykki Thomaston

I coincidently started my weight loss "journey" yesterday. I want in! Weekly checkin sounds good to me

mrsnicolew

oooo....I'm in!?

I say a check in maybe twice a week. I always seem to fall off the wagon on the weekends, when I'm out running errands, so maybe one in the beginning of the week and one on Fridays....??? Just a thought.

I'm in....but what do we do on here ?

I'm totally in. I've put on about 20lbs in 2 and 1/2 months. Pretty sure that's gotta be some kind of record.

Hey...I remembered my sparkpeople login and added you.

I'm thinking we can motivate each other, give pats on the back, nutrition/exercise questions, swap good recipes, etc.

Sounds good to me. Do we have anyone with nutrition/training experience to help us out? I know a lot but always looking for more information/tips.

I gained 30 lbs in 2 months when I was on prozac two years ago.  Never lost it!

Ugggg - Unfortunately, I need in.   I went WAY overboard over the holidays (and leading up to them), and have GOT to CHECK myself big time. 

Weekly check-ins sound good to me.

Flipflop, what's your sparkpeople name? Either tell me here or send me a comment on spark  so I can add you on my page. :-)

I'm right there with ya, don't feel bad! I'm definitely in!

MrsACo

I'd like to join.....maybe we could make a yahoo group or facebook group so that we can stay motivated together...sometime you miss posts on the boards because you weren't on....it would be nice to have people to inspire you

Lyndsey and Joshua

I'm definitely interested.  I put on about 20 lbs since my wedding.  I need to still lose atleast 20, 40 would be great!  I have some great cooking light recipes too.

I would love to join - I have put on 15 lbs since my wedding and could use the motivation!!!

jdiaz79

oh - and I think a weekly check in would be great (maybe on a Monday so we are conscious about our weekend eating?)

This sounds like a good idea, but do you guys know that someone already started a group like a month ago? It's GP Biggest Loser, and they posted about the next challenge this morning.

Yeah, i usually miss them too, but I was off and up early today. They did a challenge for the month of December I think, and now they will be starting another. They have a site where they weigh in as well.

Thanks ABC!  I found that post.  Sounds fun....or as fun as weight loss can be.

Are you kidding? Weight loss is a blast! My favorite part is moving your belt up a notch. I've knocked out two notches since Halloween. Woot!

That's awesome!  I on the other hand have moved my belt out a notch!  I figure a little competition will help get me going.  I'm going to sign up for the next challenge for sure.

I'm new to the bump, but I'd like to join in.  I need to get serious about getting healthy.

I'm a little late for this one, but I'm in too!
