how do these challenge things work? you just say hey im joining this challenge and then post your weight and stuff or what? i dont know, im a little slow so i need things to be explained, lol... thanks guys and gals!

Yep, that's all you do, just choose a challenge that is currently going on, submit a post saying that you'd like to join, and give your weight info and how much you would like to lose by the end of the challenge. They differ somewhat, some ask for other info in addition to your stats, and you can find out what else is needed by reading the very first post in the thread, written by the challenge leader - good luck, and have fun! :)

Yep, CD pretty much nailed it. Insearchofme, Cmarie, Benson & myself have a Christmas challenge going on. I ask for photos and measurements so we can do a before/after comparison. The photos are on a private yahoo group page, so that not everyone has access to them. ( due to the craziness on this board lately ).
Each person's goals vary, mine is to lose 10 lbs by the end of the month, some ladies don't have as much to lose as I do, but are there for support, etc... You're more than welcome to join us, we'd love to have you !
