    If you'd like a group of friends and some structure for accountability, I'm a member of an MFP group that is wonderfully supportive. It's a monthly team weight loss challenge (the goal being for all of us to win!). If you join, you get assigned to one of several teams, and your weigh-ins would start counting for the team in June. There are optional daily check-ins -- very helpful when you use them, as you check in on how you are doing on your plan for yourself as regards food, water, exercise, plus any other health goals you had for the day. Weigh-in is weekly on whatever day you choose. People on the teams share challenges, victories, ideas and generally cheer each other on. Feel free to join, if this sounds appealing!

    Hi All,
    Personally, I don't do well with challenges that measure in pounds. I lose a lot slower at this age and don't like the failure of not losing on a schedule. Also, I am striving for a change in my lifestyle, not diet. If challenges work for you, that's great. We are all different.

    Enjoy the day,
    Julie
