TEAM 5 The Amazing Shrinking Women

[RunAwayMichelle]

Hello Everyone.

Well school started in earnest this week and I've had a few problems getting adjusted. I teach at the local college any my schedule changes every semester, so I have to get into a new routine as well. Yesterday I jumped of the wagon for a few hours but now I am back on. Water seems to be my key to staying on track so I will just keep on drinking.

Right now my two shih tzu dogs are begging to go for a walk in the snow. I think I will listen to them and go out for a couple of blocks.

Hello everyone, boy we have a great team. :joy :joy

Tomorrow we each need to post the following information:

A: Starting weight on Jan 11th
B: Final Goal weight NOT mini goals or July 1st goal
C: Subtract B from A to get total pounds to lose

Measurements:
Bust:
Waist:
Hips:

If you're like me you might need to use a ribbon or two tape measures taped together to get an accurate measurements.

If you can't weigh in on the 11th then use your next weigh in instead.

While we are at it, lets set some life changing goals as well and make some solid plans to achieve them.

This challenge is perfect for me. DH and I are taking our G'kids to Disneyland the last week of June and I am planning to be a lot skinnier so I can fit on at least a few of the rides.

As I look around I see some very determined losers. This is going to be a very close race. So remember every ounce counts. Good Luck my friends.

Hello everyone :wave

Here are my details
Weight : 182.5 pounds (has been for several weeks now :sadblinky )

Bust : 45" - had to alter the original as I measured at home in an old saggy bra!! This figure was measured by the lady at Evans when I was trying on new ones.
Waist : 41"
Hips : 46"

Goal Weight : 140 pounds

So : 42.5 pounds to lose

Having had such a slow loss recently my aim is to get down to goal by Christmas this year.

I dont really exercise at present due to the life I lead but once my DH has finished our new bathroom I aim to use our static bike every day for at least 20 minutes. It has been up in the attic for many years! Also once he has reassembled my bicycle and the weather improves we intend to go out on our bikes at least once a week.

Welcome Roshan to our team :wave
Glad to have you on board

Michele - can you alter my original bust size to what appears now - I measured wearing an old saggy bra so original not correct!!

Also I notice some of the other teams have an updated list of their members on the first page of their thread.

Could you add the newer members to your first posting so we all know where we can quickly find a list of all members names? I have a shocking memory and would hate to miss anyone out!
