As I've said OVER AND OVER, I'm working on losing the last 20 lbs. Sometimes I waver if I have the ability to do it, but I know I can... and so can you!
So I'm just wondering who might be interested in joining me in the 20 week, 20 lb. challenge? I'll be gearing it most towards people trying to lose the last 20 lbs. to get to their ideal weight, but even if you have much more (or less) to lose, I hope you might join in.
20 weeks is 4 1/2 months, so this isn't going to be a quick fix, but we'll all be in it for the long haul.
I usually weigh in on Fridays, so I think we'll start Friday, March 20, using this week to get things in order (but still bust our buts this week!)
If there are any creative people out there who know their way with clip art and want to make a banner or tag thingy for us to put in our blogs, email me and we can talk about it. If not, I'll try... but I'm no computer graphics girl :)
So comment here or email me if you're game.... and I'll start getting some posts together to really plan this thing out. Let me know what you want to see here as well - like food ideas, workouts, meal planning, fitness tips, and general weight loss info (because we all know the last 10-20 is the hardest!)
ps - the email is ashlee (dot) wetherington at gmail (dot) com

I'm in! I am going to Costa Rica in about 2 months i.e I will be breaking out the dreaded tank tops and swimsuit. I have about 10 pounds to lose. I would love to have others to stay accountable with!
ReplyDeleteI would love to do this. I have a whole lot more than 20 lbs to lose but any sort of motivation and accountability works.
ReplyDeleteI would like to join you! I would love to loose the 20 pounds I have gained since I got married!
ReplyDeleteI am in!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun, just what I needed. Count me in!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to take off the last 10 pounds for a couple of months and I've hit a wall! My goal has been to get there by June 1 since that is when I started losing the weight. I've lost 45 so far and would love to reach my goal. This sounds like a great way to do it! Thanks!

I would love to join! I've gained 3 lbs since graduating law school, and would like to lost a total of 10 pounds. I found WW useful in the past, but it is really hard to do it here.
ReplyDeleteI'm in a new place, trying to make new friends, so a lot of our social activities turn around food and drinking. I signed up for a relay marathon (I'm doing 6.1 miles) but Ineed more motivation!
I'm new here, but I'm in. I'm trying to get to my ideal weight, and it has been difficult getting there. Maybe a group will help me be more accountable!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I'm in - I actually want to lose 15lb, but I've been plateaued for a few months, so I need the extra motivation you provide. :o)
ReplyDeleteCount me in, too! I have gained about 15 pounds since I got married. I have a cruise in September and my sister's wedding in October, so this is just what I need to help me stay motivated!
ReplyDeleteI went yesterday and bought the same food journal you used to help me keep track of my calories. I lost 55 pounds on WW 5 years ago, but it's not really working for me this time. Good luck to everyone!
Totally in!
ReplyDeleteMe! I totally need to the inspiration to finally get rid of these 20 lbs I need to drop.
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for accountability to reach my ideal weight...20lbs from where I am now...and this will be perfect! Thanks for letting others join you in this fantastic journey...I am all in!
ReplyDeleteI'm in too!! I need to lose the last of my baby weight!!! I just joined LA Fitness :)
ReplyDeleteI am in as well! This is perfect timing. I plan to go grocery shopping tomorrow so now I can prepare a list of healthy goodies.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm in! Except it will be more like my first 20 pounds and not my last, unfortunately! But I need some motivation getting started, so hopefully this will help!
ReplyDeleteThanks!

ReplyDeleteI would love to do this! I am getting married Nov 21st and would LOVE to be 15 lbs lighter!! :)Count me in!
ReplyDeleteSQUEE!! I JUST told my sister the other day, "I have a little bit of weight left to lose, and the last bit is SO daunting and SO difficult." I'm SUPER eager to be a part of this!!
ReplyDeleteCount me in!! I have 20 more lbs to lose as well, and maybe a group is exactly what I need! I've been maintaining since mid-January. :(
ReplyDeleteI lost 50 pounds 5 years ago, but have gained back 30 of those. I don't want to lose 30 because I was too thin for me then, but I think that 20 would be perfect. Count me in :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in! I'm not to my last 20 pounds yet, more like the middle 20 :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to join. I've never commented on your blog before, but I've been reading it for several months now. It is very inspirational. I've got about 8lbs to my pre-baby weight, and about 10lbs beyond that (18lbs total) to my wedding weight. I want to lose these last 18lbs and start TTC #2 (right around the time the challenge will end)...so I can gain it all back, haha! I think a challenge is just what I need. So, I'm in!
ReplyDeletehey, hope im not too late! count me in!

ReplyDeleteI am definitely in! 20 lbs is exactly what I need to lose right now, and I just need to get my butt in gear to do it.
