Hi! My name is Dawn. I live in Texas with my husband and 5 kids (10, 8, 6, 4, and almost 2). I work part-time from home and I'm going to school part-time. I was in a weight-loss group with Jackie and Jaime after baby #4 and lost all the way to my first major goal and then had baby #5 and now I'm right back where I was when I started with that group 4 years ago. I was sorting through some pictures and came across some from post-weight loss and then looked in the mirror yesterday and here I am :-) It's time. And no more babies this time, so this time it's for good.

Dawn

WOOO HOO!!! I'm glad you are here Dawn. I know you'll be a great asset! We're a new group and still trying to get the motivation up, but I love it here.

A real quick about the board:

We have the Head to Head competition. There's a place to sign up if you wanna be part of that. It's all in friendly competition, to help motivate and push us. We are split into 2 teams, no one gets voted off, etc. We will have a challenge each week, BL style, and each team seems to be hosting their own mini challenges!! WOO! I really hope you sign up and join us. It's hopefully gonna become the backbone of this group.

We weigh in every Saturday. It's in the Head to Head section. Please post your last weigh in there.

We also have a picture section, so we can visually catalog our journey. The weigh in section, the food plate section, AND the picture section are both private. Only members of the group can see them.

We also have mini weekly challenges. This week it's to get at least 30 min of cardio in a day. They will change each week.

We have a recipe section that I hope people start contributing to. LOL

Also, for accountability, we write in what we eat for the day, and our exercise for the day. It's always an eye opener when things are written down.

There's lots more on the board, and we hope to add more in the future. Feel free to make suggestions, etc. We wanna know what you want!!! Just jump in and make yourself at home.

Welcome to the group Great to have you here!!

hmmmmmmmmmmmm....DAWN....do I know you from somewhere?? Very excited to have found you here this morning..

Welcome!! Wow you and I have a lot in common! (Except you're my enemy since you're on the BLUE team--pffft! LOL)
I'm Erin, and I've got 5 kids as well (7, 6, almost 5, 3 and 18 months). No more babies here and I have lot of baby fat to lose (since I never lost between them all ROFL)

Glad you're here. Now prepare yourself for a booty kicking. Black team rules.

Dawn...Erin is just trying to smack talk to make the black team feel better about getting their booty kicked this week. The BLUE team is the place to be and we are so glad to have you!!!
GO BLUE!!!!

Booty kicked my butt!! Erin and I have been giving you a run for your money and as soon as I get Steven to write his exercise from Tuesday down, we're gonna be neck and neck! HA! Just the motivation I needed to get up nad moving today!

BLACK RULES!

You know this. Black rules, blue drools. Neener neener neener *sticks tongue out*

(yes, I'm really THAT immature)

LOL!! Erin you crack me up. Welcome Dawn.........as you see we like to have fun. I hope you will participate as much as you can and have fun. We all are!!!!

Thanks everybody. Sorry I was MIA over the weekend, hubby had a big competition out of town on Saturday and we spent Sunday lounging around doing next to nothing.

I'm headed to post my starting weigh-in - I finally got a battery for the digital scale and it is BAD news. I forgot how off our analog scale is. I'm officially heavier than I've ever been (unpregnant).

Great! Can't wait to see you around. The board has been REALLY quiet lately, and is just now starting to pick back up. YOu came back at just the right time.

Hi Dawn!!!!!! Nice to meet you! I'm April!! I've been in hiding on this board but promise to be more active.... Or else Jackie has FULL permission to drag me here by my earlobes!!!!

WOO WOO I *LOVE* the power!
