Looking for 5 people to join me in a 60 Day Fitness Challenge

I'm starting a 60 Day Fitness Challenge to help myself and others get through the holidays a little easier. I am an online fitness coach and have a plan for exercise, nutrition and accountability. We'll track our progress along the way, hold each other accountable, and motivate, inspire and encourage! I'm a mom of 2 under 2 and while I know the commitment is tough, we have to remember that we HAVE to be happy with ourselves to be a good mom and wife! I have lost 25 pounds and need to lose another 10 to get down to my pre-baby weight and I'm not going to let the holidays stop me! Unfortunately, due to time restraints, I will take the first 5 but will consider a waiting list. And don't worry - my support comes free! Any expenses you incur are the natural things to being healthy - setting yourself up with a regular workout schedule and including proper nutrition. Let me know if you are onboard!

  • Your posts are weird.

  • Sorry! Don't mean to be weird! Just looking for some support! I'm so close to my goal weight - I need some accountability and would be able to help others in return.  Let me tell you - having 2 babies in 16 months makes for some not so fun body changes. I have had to be very committed so I can feel good about myself again!

  • I know you are saying its free, but you seem to be soliciting for your personal business, which is against the terms of service. YIA

    Did you not get enough people on the other boards you wrote on?

  • Other people seemed interested until she said she wants to meet up on Facebook. Not everyone is down with handing out their real names (and on FB, that usually comes with the names of friends and relatives) to a complete stranger.

  • This is kind of weird!
  • Ok sorry - maybe I'm a little naive to all of this chatroom stuff. I'm fairly new to this and I'm just assuming that we are a bunch of moms, wives, etc...on here and there is no threat. Maybe I should be more careful but I just thought it would be nice to put together a group that would hold each other accountable. I have 2 types of friends - those that are completely out of shape and too busy being mommy to care and those that are still single and don't worry as much about accountability because they don't have the same hurdles that I do so I thought I would try to find my support here.  And yes you are right that as soon as I wanted to create a private FB group with my other post that no one responded after that which I thought was weird but there again, I'm probably being naive. And yes I'm an online coach but no I'm not trying to solicit my business - that's why I said there was no cost but I thought it would give you some background on why I'm creating a group like this....because I've seen that accountability factor work time and time again with people I work with and now I'm the one who needs the support. Not a big deal if no one wants to do it - I found some previous colleagues on LinkedIn who said they'd be interested.
  • Are you a military spouse?

    A threat does exist here, and that's why PERSEC is so important. This board has had its fair share of fair of fakers, stalkers, and people who find photos online and then try to pass them off as their own.

    Hi Ladies! I'm not a military wife but a firefighter's wife...does that count? Can I join in? :)  I need some motivation. I just finished the 60 day Insanity program and now I'm trying to figure out what to do next. I had 2 babies in 16 months and have lost about 25 pounds in the last few months but have another 10 to go and I'm losing my motivation with the season change.

     I also have a sister-in-law who is the wife of a Navy Seal and she is very frustrated with her fitness so I'm here in honor of her too. :)

  • Yep, civilian firefighter is JUST like being in the military!!! What an odd string of posts. I'm going to go start posting on the multiples board...since I know a person who has multiples, and I'll ask, "I want multiples, does that count?"

    Thank you Ojo, I needed a laugh today.

    OP, if you would have lurked or scrolled down before you posted, you would have noticed we already have a daily fitness check in.

  • Edited. Where did that firefighter quote come from?

    MF? 

    I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.

    Hey - this is to all of you negs. Thanks for making a girl feel welcome. My husband is gone 30% of my life. I sleep alone, I raise my kids alone, I spend Christmas, birthday, other holidays alone. I go to kids' events alone.  I go to friends' weddings alone. What I DON'T do is spend my life on chat boards trying to make virtual friends and then ridiculing new girls who try to jump in for a little support. I think it's so funny how rude the majority of you are on here but are probably chicken *** in real life. What makes you think you can treat someone on here so poorly? Just because you probably will never meet me?  I'm so happy that when I'm in 'disguise' on these chat boards that I don't lose my morals and values.  And thank you, by the way, for changing my opinion on military wives.  Oh and by the way, go ahead and get on your high horse and rip this response apart (because I know you have nothing better to do with your time). I won't be back to check on this discussion. In fact, I won't be using these boards at all anymore. Congratulations - you made a girl feel unwelcome and leave. Kudos to you.

  • And by the way MrsOhoButtonsStupidName - I'd like to see where you'd be if your kids get a seizure, allergic reaction, choke or your house starts on fire without firefighters. How dare you disrespect them.

    Whoa, try not to hurt someone with those heavy insults.

    But hey, thanks for coming to this board with your assumption that all military spouses are fat and lazy because all we do is sit around all day and eat our feelings.  That really makes me want to join your group.

    What makes you think you can treat someone on here so poorly? You were treated poorly? Puh-lease. Would you just walk up to a group of people and ask them to join her work-out group? No so don't do it on a message board.

    I won't be back to check on this discussion. In fact, I won't be using these boards at all anymore. BULLSHIIT! I see your bubble!
