What might you have in mind? I am typically not that wild about "certain weight by a certain time" challenges - since as we all know we are not 100% in control of what the scale says week to week. Behavior based challenges can be fun. And I assume it's open to the whole board, right?
Thanks for the invite, but I've failed on so many "lose so much by this date" attempts that I'm laying low I've been losing at a ridiculously slow pace, but I've been LOSING, and I'll stick to that.
I am in menopause and lose so slowly! I am afraid my days of "lose this much weight by a certain date" type thing are over!
If you can define the challenge, count me in! I just rejoined WW only to find they are changing the program again. Like my username? - heh heh - I am giving myself a positive boost for their new program (Momentum) for the new year. Gearing up for the change and very happy. I'm all for change. Anyway, glad to be here.
I'd be willing to join. I have already joined one of the Christmas challenges weight wise. Support would be great this time of year.
Happy Gobble Day. I will have to be ULTRA careful today as I hit a new decade this morning---159.5! Yep, I know I am "barely" there!
Momentum, I went to one WW meeting and was completely insulted and I would say "attacked" by the stupid facilitator. She kept asking me questions (4 rounds of questioning) in front of the group and when I would answer she would just tell me why I was wrong. ALL I wanted to do that day was WATCH how it the meetings worked. Needless to say, I left and did not sign up--that was 40 pounds ago so I guess I wasn't completely stupid. I have found good support here and one other website I blog on occasionally.
I have found surrounding myself (even just here in the virtual world) with like minded, health focused people to be my "weapon of choice" when dealing with weightloss. So, yep, I would be down for more of it!
Happy Gobble Day

Some leaders are better than others. If she really insulted you, you should complain to the administrative office. What did she ask you?
For me, I've found I need the meetings. It took me a long time to admit that. I think it's nice to fellowship with others who are going through the same thing.
i just wanted to get something going...anything really so im afraid i had nothing speific in mind....
thighs--- im sorry you had a bad experienced. in fact i would definitely suggest you report her! thats aweful theres some great leaders out there and anything that bad neds to be brought to attention.
