Happy Weigh-In Day! 20/20 Kickoff...

Let me start out by saying 131 of us signed up for the Challenge! Wow! This is truly amazing. Our group has the potential to lose over 1 TON!!!
That also means we should donate around 786 lbs. to the Pound for Pound Challenge! Please go pledge your weight, I'll post a reminder in May for you to go back and confirm it! (This is my original post about it)


Last night I sent out the first group email requesting some info from you as well as info about the Buddy groups I'm going to set up. If you joined and didn't get the email, please contact me and I'll get that straightened out.


A few highlights from the email included:
-We are going to have chat times set up at http://chatroll.com/ashisfit on Sunday from 3-4pm EST and Wednesday from 9-10pm EST.
-Buddy grouping will take place this weekend, please reply by Sunday with the info in the email if you want a buddy.
-Contine to educate yourself, and the "steps" are all optional but encouraged, and don't need to be done by today or anything.


Thank you again, to all of you who signed up.


I also want to encourage my readers who are already at their healthy weight, or aren't in the challenge, to still come back here often. I'll be posting non-challenge things as well, and if you are at a healthy weight, we all could use your words of advice and support of how you got there and stay there. You're also welcome to come to the chats!

  9. I love the idea of this challenge so I will definitely be stopping by, putting in my two cents. All of your steps make so much sense. In my weight loss journey, I would say the most important things I did were (a) count calories, (b) snack healthy, (c) exercise!, and (d) learn how to deal with restaurants.
