I'm not quite new since I registered a couple months ago but I'm just now starting to get motivated to loose weight. There's great support on this thread! I'm in a "Girlfriends' Challenge" with two of my very best friends. You see, we just received our 10 year high school reunion invitation and our goal is to loose the weight we gained since graduating! The gal who looses 25% of their weight OR closest to 25% of their weight gets $100 from the other gals. Anyone who flakes or GAINS weight has to put in $50 extra in the pot. The winner could end up getting $300!! $100 is a lot to me so I'm going to try my best to win!
