PLEASE READ:

I am trying to get last minute sign ups done in time to get you access so that you can still enter your pics and weight before the 12 pm CST deadline today, Oct 25th. You must meet this deadline to be eligible for the prizes.

Of course, anyone is welcome to join and play along at anytime. However, in fairness to the other 50+ participants, your beginning weight and pics have to be in on time.

Thank you for your understanding girls! :)

Sounds good, I'll join. I need serious motivation since the hospital rang up on Friday asking if I could come in for surgery next week due to a cancellation, I had to say no due to exams and too tight a time frame but I also know I wouldn't be allowed to have it until I lose probably 40kgs (88 pounds). I find the hardest time for me is fitting in exercise and meals with my study and work committments but I know that won't be so much of an excuse once school is over with for the year (mid november through to end of february I have off)

Well....I am still working on some details but, it will be similar to what the girls did last year.

https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/forum/showpost.php?p=243503&postcount=1


Only I am thinking 9 week challenge from Oct 25 to Dec 26th. Just in time to ring in the new year in those skinny jeans out on the town showing em' off.

Also, I know that stepping on the scale is scary for some and that some like to measure by how you feel, how the clothes fit, etc. But, some like to see the numbers too. So, I think we should do the scale and also judge the clothes. I will explain that later.

We will have motivational pics, we can share our recipes, goals, inspire each other, etc. It's basically like a weight loss group with one focused goal. Finding that one pair of jeans and getting into them together. Well, not literally in one pair of jeans together but, you kwim. :p

And I am working on details for a really good motivational PRIZE(s) for the biggest loser(s).

But this gives you some idea of what I am thinking.

How did the private forum work out last year girls? Did you like that?
 
Great ideas! Yes, totally love the private forum, especially to share stuff about our weight/struggles/pics, etc. ;)
 
Can I join you ladies? :) I am a size 16 now... and am 213 lbs. I have a pair of size 14 jeans that haven't fit me in ummm forever. Like my son will be 5 in a few weeks... and I now have an 18 month old, too! I have 13 pounds to lose to get back under 200 pounds... which I have not seen in faaar too long! :thumbdown:

I am still nursing, so... I have to be sensible... but 6 weeks losing 1-2 pounds a week is TOTALLY doable!!:thumbup:
 
I would like to join! I have a pair of jeans size ten that have been waiting for me since pre preggo. I would like to wear them as they are brand new.
 
I'll join! I need to lose a few inches to fit in my skinny jeans better. It's getting a bit too snug on my thighs. LOL
 
LOVED the private forum last year! I like all your ideas. Being accountable to someone other than myself definitely works for me.
 
I'd like to join in as well. Even though I refer to my SO as my DH we are not actually married, but we will be next June! (We've been together for just over 8 years now) I'd really like to lose a bit of this excess weight before then. ;)

These all sound like awesome ideas, neenee! I agree about the scale! Off to hunt out the skinny jeans...
 
I will join, though I may be slightly MIA the first bit as I am moving and not sure when the internet will get hooked up.
 
I would love to sign up. I had my baby boy last November and actually only "gained" about 9lbs due to having gestational diabetes and losing weight. I ended up last November at 10lbs from where I would have liked to be (around 130 lbs is my first goal).

Here we are almost a year later, and instead of losing those additional 10lbs, I've gained and additional 10lbs back due to no longer eating like I should be and I do very minimal exercise.

I've got the Wii Active.... I just bought some new videos... and I'll I'm missing is the motivation. A 9 week challenge sounds VERY doable.
 
I would love to do this, too! I've lost about 20lbs since July, but still need to lose a LOT more...fitting into my old jeans again would be fab!

Thank you for organizing this!
 
Add me in too! :) I played along last year & loved it! Those skinny jeans are now too big! :) I have another 20-25 pounds to go, so this will definitely help again!
Thanks for organizing it Neenee!
Oh, and yes! definitely loved the private forum!!!

so can we use any diet plan?
Click to expand...

Everyone will use their own method of diet and training. Everyone's bodies respond so different and what works for one may not work for another. So, we will have an area in the forum where others can offer suggestions on what they are doing to get the weight off but, there will be no specifics that anyone HAS to do.
 
Look for specifics on the program later tonight. Wait til you see the motivational rewards! :thumbup:

Then by tomorrow afternoon I will send out PM's with the link to the private forum so that we can start getting acquainted before we begin on the 25th. ;)

SO EXCITED!
