What do you think

We will have a list of those who want to 'join'. Every week with check in we will post our list of 'members.' Seeing your name up there is bound to get you on track and make you accountable, kwim? So many people want to lose weight and they need the encouragement, motivation and accountability. I feel that if we share our struggles and our triumphs it will really help us attain our goal.

We could share tips, recipes and motivational stories. I will be happy to do all the work on this. All you have to do is show up, give your weight loss and share a story if you would like. You can also tell us what kind of exercises you have been doing and the amount of exercise you are doing.

Let me know what you think. New members are free to join at anytime. But, there is NO dropping out until you reach your goals!!

I would love it, we may want to request another forum to keep it off the general board so those that do not want to participate don't feel inundated by all our post regarding our struggles and achievements. What a great idea Amiee.

MomToMany replied: ME TOO!! I need a support group!!! There's nothing within an hour's drive for me here.

Great idea Aimee!!

Boys r us replied: Me to!!! Count me in!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: So, should we look into a new forum? Maybe a General Health section with a Weight Loss Forum?? I know the health forum was requested and I'm not sure what ever came of that. Let's try it out for a couple of weeks before we throw it to the big dogs. I will come up with something and we will start it next Wednesday in place of the Wednesday Weigh In. Di, is that okay? Would you like to help me come up with some ideas?

So far I have:
Aimee
Di
Mollie
Terri
Sexymomma (sorry, don't know your name )
Nichole
Jessica

If anyone else wants to join jump right in! I'm sure Jeanine and Marie will want to join, too. (this is me keeping you in line, guys. )

Kaitlin'smom replied: sure Amiee thats fine, I was thinking I could do a healthy tip of the day there I have tons and can collect more.

Maddie&EthansMom replied:
Perfect!! You can still do that once a day or you can save it for once a week.

Maddie&EthansMom replied:
I added you!

5littleladies replied: I can't join now, but I'm sure I will want to in about 8 months. This is a great idea-I hope it works out!

Kaitlin'smom replied:

(Unfortunately, there is no emoticon showing Aimee twisting my arm.)



Seriously, yes, WONDERFUL idea. I need all the help I can get, and will accept guilt and shame along with tips and support if that's what it takes.
