Hi Everyone,
My name is Kim I live in NY. I have 3 kids and 2 grandkids. My goal is to become healthy. I have been on this rollar coaster for a long time. I want the ride to finally end. So I am going to give it a shot here...

WOOO HOO!!! I'm glad you are here Kim. 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 (Black Panthers, and Blue Piranhas), no one gets voted off, etc. We 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. A lot of the icons you see under people's names have to do with these teams.

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 all private. Only members of the group can see them. This is just to help all members of the group to feel more secure in posting.

We also have mini weekly challenges. This week it's to get in all your fruits daily. 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.

One thing to note... we have a no lurking rule. This goes back making sure everyone feels secure in posting, etc. So try and make sure to check in with us at least a couple times a week... But I really hope you love it here, and want to post much more!!

Already i am getting lost..lol It will take me a couple days to get the hang of this. Hopefully not that long. Thanks for the welcome.

You'll get the hang of it Kim!! Just jump in and start posting, and before you know it, you'll be an ol' pro!

Hi Kim....Welcome to the board!!! The head to head challenges are awesome...they push me to do things everyday that I may not normally do! Plus since I am on the blue team I love to kick the black teams butt!!
Glad you are here!!
