Newbie saying hi ????

kittyp28571

Hi guys - just dropping in to say hi ???? I'm not brand new to MFP but recently after gaining a lot of weight again, and failing at numerous "diets" - I'm going back to basics. My plan is to eat as clean as I can, and do some sort of regular exercise - as small as that may be. I weigh 244 lbs and my long term goal is to drop 100 lbs. BUT - I am not looking at it like this. I intend to break it down into smaller chunks - maybe 10lbs goals. Anybody wanna join me in my operation drop 100 in 10's ??

Heck ya! Drop them in tens, that's a much easier way to look at it.

Hi guys...count me in.....lets set the goal date and try to compete....lets do it as challenge. A set goal date will motivate us.

Hi guys - how about getting a group together and weigh in once a week with 10lbs interim goals ? Can we do this on MFP ???

Sounds good but I have no idea how to make a group!! I'll wait till someone who knows how to :P

badeesaba

Yes kitty I'm agree with you...we should try in group...losing weight is not a big deal if you have supoortive and challenging peoples around you....how motivates and push you for possitive efforts.....let the race begin :-p

You are so right. I get overwhelmed so quickly looking at the big picture. I think I am going to break it down in10's as well.

even I don't know much about grouping and all that...I joined yesterday and looking for supportive groups.....I love challenges.....so why not we start grouping by this thread?

First thing we should do is to weigh ourselves and right down here....then set a goal date and everyone in this thread or anyone else who want to take this 10lbs challange will report here about his/her daily efforts and all that. This will help I guess.....what you say guys?

Eloira

I've managed to make the group didn't know what to call it lol!

Eloira

It's called interim 10
Forgot to mention that xD
