IMFL.

After that, I'm in. Well, right after that, I'm eating. Some time after the eating, I'm in.

Fall, winter, spring, summer; I'm always wanting to lose pounds. Am I trying? No. Should I try, yes. I have 6 months until the big 4-0 and 11 months until IMC.

Me and my fat ass are in.

What are the rules?

I am totally in! I lost a bunch of weight last year & year before and gained 1/3 of it back this year. I need support!!

I'm in. Blech, I'm 10lbs over where I want to be. If I lose 8 I'm cool with that.

I'm in!!! I just signed up for IMLou, so I need to lose at least 10 lbs before heavy training!

Alright womens. Sounds like some of us would like to start this asap while other need to start it a little later. Those of you without races (AZ or FL, etc.: jenhs, minnipearl, QRgirl, lkkowski, lwalsh, and any others that may come along), are you wanting to get going asap or do you want to wait a couple months for the other womens? I think we could always get one started and have another start later one for other womens. What should we do?

As for rules, I'm writing them down right now.

I'll want to be in right after thanksgiving. All the cake and beer I'll be eating in that 6 week period between Kona and Turkey day need to be lost :-)

I suggest the rule of NO CAKE ALLOWED (unless it's your birthday)

Seriously, you are the worst cake nazi ever :P

I'm totally in. I'm down 9 pounds so far and have at least 5 more to go; but hopefully 10. R U going to PM all of us or are we going to do things here?

Good times on trimming the fat together! :)

I would like to start now well not RIGHT now but very soon. Like tomorrow. Well, Monday.

And no-cake rule makes sense but: what if it's someone ELSE'S birthday? :-) Can I have just one bite?

This is feeling motivating already! Sort of like a mini-weight watchers. I will follow any "rules" set out but might prefer not broadcasting my actual weight number. I will be happy to say whether I lose, how much, how much I want to lose, if I don't lose but gain, bla bla bla, but...

Rules: (and feel free to suggest others or disagree with these ones)

- Starting weight does not have to be disclosed, unless you are comfortable doing so, but a goal (ie: want to lose 10lbs) should be disclosed.
- Weigh in and report will be every Monday. This can be at any time on Monday, but has to be done Monday.
- You can weigh yourself everyday for your own personal tracking if that suits you, but only Monday weigh-ins are tracked by the group.
- You may use a nutritionist/dietitian/diet plan if you so wish, BUT no "aggressive diets" (cleanses, starving, Atkins... you know, and I don't think you guys would go this route anyways)

I think that's it for rules. Now if I may make a suggestion for everyone though, take a picture of yourself before you get going and then when you hit your target. It's not for any of us, it's for you. You never know too, once you reach your goal you may want to start flaunting your before and after pics!
I'm also thinking that people can join us in this journey whenever they want. It can just be an ongoing thing for everyone to take part in. Maybe in the New Year once we've passed that horrible holiday period, we can get an actual contest of sorts going. It all just depends on what we do to ourselves during that time haha.

So, I'm in for Monday. minniepearl is in for Monday. Who else?

Oh, and I'm thinking of a way right now for tracking progress and whatnot. I'll let you know when I've got something... if you have an idea let me know. I'd prefer not to do it on here like we do with the goals thread since this is a rather sensitive thing for many of us and I, for one, don't need anyone who isn't a part of "the group" all up in my grill about my progress :)

"I would like to start now well not RIGHT now but very soon. Like tomorrow. Well, Monday. "

LOL... That sounds exactly like what my diet was this year... : ) Except for me Monday never quite got here! That being said, I am so in. I never did quite lose the weight I was planning to lose this year, so I still have that same goal as I had last year. I would love the help/camaraderie to actually go for it.

I'm doing IMAZ; all the more reason for me to be in. Less weight to haul around the course is a good thing. About 10 lbs less of me would be nice.

Do I have to own a scale for this?

Seriously... I don't own one. I'm usually pretty accurate at guessing my weight though. :p

Yes, you need a scale but it has to be a Tonita Ironman scale.
