K....not that I was lacking confidence in our group...but I had no idea that when Libby said we should set a group goal of 200 lbs. lost by Easter....that it was entirely possible!!! Our last Easter Challenger, Roxy, has weighed in to max out our final group progress...and it's simply inspiring!!! Our awesome group is at 25% of our combined group challenge!!! 25%!!! Wow...there are no words!! You all inspire me! Truly!! Let's all ride on the success we've all accomplished this week and forge forward!

Oh, wow!!! What a great start we all had! Kudos to all of us!
Let's all remember that the purpose of the Easter Challenge is bring out the best in each of us. We are competing only against ourselves and as a group, not against each other. If anyone has a net loss of only .1 lb by the end of the challenge or even managed to not gain in that period of time, that's a win as long as she/he tried.
Roxy, perfectly OK that your start weight was from New Year's Eve. Congrats on losing 10 lbs. already! I didn't weigh on January 1, either, so I just used my January 5 weight.

Hello, I am new and wanted to start out 2015 working to get healthy and that includes losing at least 100 lbs or more. I lost that much several years ago but let bad habits back in and now as I just turned 50 it is effecting my health. The ladies at work are also getting together as we all want to get fit. I would like to join your challenge. I am starting this journey at 317 lbs - they heaviest I have ever been and hope to be under 300 by Easter.

LHall, welcome! So glad you can join us. I, too, have over 100 lbs. to lose, but my main goal is really to get down to a weight at which I feel a lot better and look better in my clothes. The actual number is not all that important to me. OK, so you know already you have it in you to lose a lot of weight--and you can and will do it again. Wonderful that you also have support of women at work.
I added you to our Easter Challenge list. Hope you don't mind.
Many of us here also post in the weekly motivational thread. This one has "shooting for the moon" in the title. You are so welcome to join us there, too.

Welcome LHall! Glad you can join in on the Easter Challenge! That's awesome that you have a group of friends at work to help to encourage and support each other! Be sure to check back here on Fridays (and any other day you want) to report on your progress. Glad to have you aboard!
