    I'd like to join. Do I find this original post I'm typing now and modify as we go or what's the best way? Never joined any of these boards before. Thanks.

    I'm in as well (and have sent a request to the group to join). I've lost 72 pounds this year and am about two thirds of the way done. I've been doing the Memorial Day - Sept challenge (and will continue that), but I'm happy to this challenge to take me through to December. :smile:

    The other challenge has a google doc spreadsheet for tracking which has worked really well. Does anyone want me to set one up for this challenge?

    Me! Me! Me! I weighed in at the beginning of the week AND I am going on vacation in mid-November. My goal is to lose 3 lbs a week (don't worry everyone, that amount of weight was approved by my dear doctor who is insistent that I slim down. He actually thinks 5 lbs a week is attainable, but I'm aiming for 3!) :)

    I know theres already a MILLION challenges starting on August 1st, but as im taking a vacation in December to visit a bunch of family and friends, I would really like to motivate myself to drop some weight before I get there. Anyone want to join me? Here's a little template I made below and if we get enough people going ill probably make a spreadsheet so we can keep track :) I would like to weigh-in on Mondays.

    I'm totally in. I need all the accountability and motivation I can get.

    Challenge Starting Weight: 272.2
    Challenge Goal Weight: 247

    Week 1 (08/01) - 272.2 (this might be water weight. I was weighing in at 265.4 but then in the space of 4 days I was up to 272.2 and have pretty much stayed there......And my BP and diabetes is playing havoc with me right now....if it suddenly drops back I'll readjust.)

    Challenge Goal Weight: 166

    Week 1 (08/01) - 196
    Week 2 (08/08) - 195.4

    All I can say is at least it's a loss, can do so much better. Goals: 64oz water (more if possible), 30min of exercise &/or 10k steps, food planning and logging every day what I eat.

    I would like to join in. A little late, but better late than never. I am right around 184, and goal is ten lb per month, 2.5 lb per week, so -35 lb is the goal. :-) Thanks! I needed some motivation!
