August 2013 "Life's New Journey Challenge"

Everyone's Invited!!!!! flowerforyou

A New Month A New Challenge!!!

MFP and the support that I receive from perfect stranger (that I now call my friends), has played a key role in my success to losing the weight. A year and a half ago I decided it was time to get healthy. I wanted to be around to torment my children like they have tormented me for 23 years (they are the lights of my life), be around to spoil my grandchildren (don't have any yet), and most of all to enjoy life.

To help accomplish that, I started a challenge group whereby you entered your weight, your personal goals, and your personal challenges on a weekly basis (Fridays) into a spreadsheet. From the spread sheet winners were calculated on a weekly and monthly basis. It is a friendly competition but more than that it is a support group that helps with your struggles and celebrates your successes along with your own personal accountability.

I've had "Life's New Journey Challenges" monthly since October 2011 and would like to invite everyone to join us for the August Challenge. First weigh-in would be August 2nd and every Friday after that. There will also be daily food and exercise mini challenges posted on the home page for anyone that is interested in that kind of thing.

If you are interested just reply here or send me a message and I will send you the spreadsheet with instructions and August 2nd things get rolling.

I Look forward to sharing your "Life's New Journey"

What a great idea! I am in! I need something like this to keep me going. I have been using MFP since Nov. 2012 but got off of it for a while due to "life" getting in the way but I am getting back into it cause I want to be able to be a healthy and fit wife and mom for my family. Looking forward to being held accountable. Thanks so much! :flowerforyou:

Keep me in please! I may be the slowest loser in the bunch - but when I look at a 6 month graph it is trending downward! Can't ask for more than that!

Please include me! I joined MFP awhile ago, but haven't been able to stick with it. Maybe a challenge like this is what I need. Thanks!
