Alright girlies! I'm putting this on the BP because I want to include everybody that may be interested in joining but isn't there yet. 

I feel like a lot of us are struggling. I definitely am. Summers are always hard for me. I always gain weight. I'm always so shocked by that because I think I am eating decent (lots of fruit and grilling, etc.) and exercising during fun activities. Obviously this is not true because I always gain weight during the summers.

Anyway, I'd love to get some more motivation in the MSBL folder. Do we want to start a new round? We don't do anything with money anymore and I find that it's still very motivating and supportive but after a long period of time, it's hard not to kind of fall apart.

So, times are crazy busy right now, I know. I think we should set a date and get going on a new "round." How long do you want to do it for? 3 months? New round after every three months.

If you aren't comfortable sharing your weight, you can still join and do the gain/loss each week. I have to say though that sharing the number is very motivating.

I am thinking that we need to go back to starting pics, and possibly monthly pics but for sure ending pics. That seemed to keep me more motivated and involved. Also, pictures of the scale. Not because anybody is lying but it harder for me to take a picture of the bad weigh in (thus I'm motivated for a good weigh in) than just posting the weight as a number. Maybe I'm the only one that feels that way though.

Okay, I'm rambling...I'd love to hear some thoughts.

Im not sure how I feel about pictures, etc. It is more of a time issue than anything.

But, I do feel like we should start another round. I need some renewed motivation.

I'm down with whatever.

I'm completely indifferent about weekly pictures. Mainly just because it's such a pita for me to get my photos since the total when it calculates flashes. I end up with 40 pictures on my camera of no numbers on the scale, just to get 1 where it's barely visible, lmao. I'll do it, without further complaint if that's what the group wants, but it's just laziness on my part.

I know I'm preggers but I need more accountability so I would be in for sure. I'm not supposed to gain any weight and well so far that is an epic fail.

Girl, I damn near scream everytime.

Undoubtedly someone will end up going through my camera, too, and then wondering why I have 40 pictures of my feet on a scale. "Weigh in for my mommy board" I say. "Don't you need the weight on there for that?" they say. Yes, I do, smart azz.

It's flashing, I'm clicking as fast as I can. It goes off. No pics. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. And usually the number I catch is the highest of the fluctuations, lol. So I want to say it's the lowest (say 115.2 hardy har had) but the scale rebutes my story (saying 116.1 - again LOL) Eventually I'll get another scale, so it's nbd, but I really do hate the dang thing.

Will you please just post in here if you don't have access to the MSBL already. That way if you are interested I can get a list of the people that need access that don't have it.

So, let's try to do the starting and ending pics. Weekly pics optional (of the scale.) Leah I know it can be a total pain.

Um...what else? Any ideas on a start date? 90 days per round? Tuesday weigh in still? Throw out the ideas. I want to get this going. I would say we could start next week being a new round but I don't know if that's too soon for everyone. Let me know!

ETA: That first sentence didn't come out right, LOL. I think I typed something else, edited but left it weird. Anyway, don't *just* post if you don't have access...what I meant was just make sure to note that you don't have access when you post. Clear as mud?

I hate Tuesday WI's but seeing that I'm not technically trying to lose any weight it doesn't really matter LOL. I just think Friday WI's would be better and maybe you don't go crazy splurging all weekend after having an awesome number???

That's so the opposite of how my head works. I'll be like, "HAHA! Not weighing until FRIDAY." and so I'll be a glutton all weekend so I can work it off all week, lol. That's another area I'm indifferent on, I just had to comment since it made me laugh because of how horribly my thought process is.

Yay, I'm excited to see some fresh meat getting on the wagon, with the rest of us, (Not that I'm actually ON the wagon. But I'm running behind it aways, lol)

See that too!!!!

I like weekend splurges and it takes more then a day for that splurge to disappear. Most people I know that do Weight Watchers WI on Saturday morning for exactly that reason. LOL

So if I say I'm in, will there be eyerolls going on around the country (oh wait, Megan's here... around the world!).

I really do want to do this and trust me, I do try to take it seriously. I just keep losing the, hmmm... best word for it... strength? Will power? The motivation is definitely there. I'll save the rest of the speech for the private board. Let's just say it is time.

So, I'm in. I'm in I'm in I'm in.

I might be in.  For clarification, yes or no or optional to:

Starting pictures and ending pictures

Scale pictures

Posting your actual weight each week

Option of saying if you gain or lose

Make the secret oath and practice the secret hand shake that you if you break your vow of secrecy about anyones weight and weight woes you will instantly gain five beer bellies and 14 double chins.
