We can totally help each other. Maybe even keep each other accountable. What day do you think you will go to meetings? I go on Wednesdays.

I was just about to ask if theres a common thread where we can "weigh-in" every week and see how we did....Let me go online real quick and see if they have a wednesday meeting I can go to after work. brb

Ok I'm back...looks like I can attend meetings Thurs. nights. How long are meetings usually, like 30mins?

Yeah we can post under this thread OR we can start a new thread each week on the same day with a title like "This weeks weigh-in" or something like that. ??

Basically you take this quiz to determine at what frequency level you are right now with your exercise. Then you go to that section and it tells you what exercise goals you should set for yourself (in terms of exercise points earned). Right now I am working on getting a minimum of 7 exercise points a week. once you do that consistently you add 2 points and you aim for 9, then 11, etc. etc. until you are at 28 points/week (that's 4 points a day!!!). Anyway just making the goal to earn 7 right now is helping me to motivate.

I need to read this brochure. I'm so bad about going to the gym. I really need to get back into it. I do Yoga twice a week now though.

What kinds of exercise are you planning on doing?

Count me in for this. Knowing that I have to be accountable will help so much.

Glad I found this thread. I am starting WW on Monday with a goal of losing 40lbs by Nov. Is that possible? Thanks for this thread and I am looking forward to the support! I already read some great recipes from you all!
