    I'm in! This is my first challenge - and a pretty intimidating one at that!, but I'm hoping this will help me stay committed. I've used MFP on and off for years and always have success when I'm using it, so I'm hoping this will get me in the habit for the long run.

    I just had a baby in December and did a much better job keeping the weight gain under control with the second one. I was within 5 pounds of my pre pregnancy weight within a week, but I continued eating like I was pregnant and bounced up over 5 pounds. Since then I've been tracking calories and working out regularly and have seen progress.

    My husband is now working out regularly and tracking his calories all for the first time, so I think that'll help, too.

    GW 165 - that's an exciting number! I don't remember the last time I was under 200!!

    When is our first weigh in?

    I threw this out there on Thursday and I had already weighed myself so that is what I am using as my start date. Just choose your weigh in day and keep us updated at least weekly with that. Good luck to you and Join our Group "50lbs by August 31st 2016"

    Sure, why not? That's almost 2lbs per week, which is definitely possible. Let's do this! Will you be making a group or will we check in here?

    I've just been focusing on trying to stay below my base calorie allowance and don't eat back activity calories. I had been eating basically the same things most days, but now am having fun mixing it up with lower calorie versions of foods I love (it feels like a fun challenge to make something healthy and make it fit in my calories). I am not sure why this time around has been so easy to stay motivated, but it has been. :+1:
