Hello everyone! My name is LaTonya, I live in Florida, I am 43 years old, work full time, and I have 1 child who is 22 years old. 2 days ago I decided to come back on MyFitnessPal after several years to use this as a tool to loss weight. My doctor recently put me on high blood pressure meds and my goal is to to get off them 😁 so here I am. My highest weight was 311 and my current weight is 304 😞 I have hovered between 280 - 298 for years now and it’s time for me to get serious especially since now I have medical issues.
I am happy to be apart of this challenge and my goal for the month of November is about 10 - 15lbs. Because I weight a lot I tend to lose a lot of water weight the first month I start back dieting, consistency is my biggest problem and that’s why I am here to get and to motivate.6 -

Happy Sunday! Welcome to the first week for November, Gutbusters!
For those of you who are new to the group, here are some weigh-in FAQs:
• When do I post my weigh-in?
Post on your "scheduled weigh-in day". So, if you posted a weight in the New Member Registration thread on a Tuesday, then your scheduled weigh-in day will be each Tuesday of the month. Let me know if you have a question.
• Why is Week 1 beginning on Sunday? Haven't we been already posted our starting weights?
Think of it as a first birthday. You're born, then you must live a whole year before you can celebrate being 1. In this challenge, you post a starting weight, then you have a whole week to work on weight loss before you post your Week 1 weigh-in.
• How do I post my weigh-in?
Your posts should look like this:
Username:
Week: Week #
PW: Previous Weight in pounds
CW: Current Weight in pounds
• What's my previous weight?
If you're new, your Week 1 previous weight is whatever weight you posted in the New Member Registration thread or check out the current spreadsheet to see what your posted info says. If you're returning, your Week 1 previous weight is whatever your weight was in the last week of the previous month.
• Team Dynamics!
A successful month will also include checking in each day with our team. Strive to become acquainted with everyone on the team and encourage each other in the successes and failures we will all experience. Our members are invited to post daily following the guidelines of another challenge called UAC (Ultimate Accountability Challenge). Very simple, but effective, in keeping us focused on our health goals. Please feel free to join that monthly challenge as well. @RangerRickL does a fantastic job there for keeping us motivated daily. I don’t think I’d be as far along on my journey if it wasn’t for TBL and UAC. If you’d like to participate in those guidelines, post this daily with the results.
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?
Along with our daily check-ins we will also have mini-challenges weekly. I do not want to be the only person coming up with these ideas so if you think of something that may be a good challenge during the week you can post the ideas on the monthly thread or send them to me privately.
• I'm still confused. Who can help me?
Just ask a question here and tag me (@BonnieHosk85). I want you to succeed as much as I want success for ourselves. If you miss your weigh-in, we will message you to remind you. Because I care. If you need to drop out for the month, we’ll hate to see you go but just let us know. Feel free to private message me if you need to.

Hi everyone! My name is Kim. I live in Pennsylvania and am a full time social worker and wife/mother to 4 grown children. I started my journey towards health in October of 2018 when I tipped the scales at 391 😝. My current weight at the start of this challenge is 268. My goal weight is 170, so still such a journey to go. But already my health is so much better. No more medicines for just about everything you could imagine. Plus at my top weight I walked with a walker, now back to normal. I keep trying to add anything/tool/motivation to keep me going strong 💪 on my journey hence I am here and excited to have found you all.7 -

My goal this month is tho get to 131. My yoga studio is having a 20 classes in 30 days challenge, so I am going to commit to trying to do that. I also would like to walk 20 miles a week and incorporate more strength training! I started at 169 lbs. in February, and I would love to be down 40 lbs. by February of 2020!4
