Hey yall!! I'm looking to start a weight loss group! I started to lose weight back in February but lost my motivation back in May. Now its time to get back on track! I am getting married in October and want to add more to my current weight loss of 20lbs. It’s always a lot easier, having a group of people that all want the same thing and here to encourage each other. We can check in daily, and weigh in weekly, or whatever works for you.

Weigh-ins can start on Friday. That gives people a chance to get on board that want to join. If you have a different weigh-in date feel free to join us and each Fridays just post your last weight for that week. On Saturday Mornings, I'll post a graph showing everyone's progress. If you would like to join, reply to this post with your current weight and your goal weight.

So who's up for a challenge?!?! I can’t wait to get started!

Starting Weight -223.5lbs
Current Weight- 203.5lbs
Goal Weight on Oct. 10th- 175lbs
«134567…10

    I would love to join the group I started at 346 and I am down to 327. I dont always weigh every week I usually weigh in every 2 weeks only because i drop by my dr office to use the scale and with 3 kids it is a pain. But I will definitly try to do it weekly. Just tell me how to get in.

    I'm in! I'm actually getting married in August so could use the motivation to lose... Plus I'm working nights for the next week starting today and I always seem to have a harder time sticking to being healthy when I'm on nights.

    SW 140 (145 prior to MFP)
    CW 138
    GW 125 (but goal by the wedding 130)

    I usually weigh in on Fridays so will hopefully have new numbers tomorrow. Congrats on your wedding by the way!

    Wow, this group is getting bigger and bigger. May I make some suggestions?

    1.) we should become friends with each other, this way it will be easier to keep us motivated and see the progress of the other members or kick each others butt. LOL (I know I will need that sooner or later).

    2.) Could we try to find a name for the group? I have no idea what it could be, but well ... maybe someone else has a flash of genius.

    Just my two cents ...:flowerforyou:

    Yes Galathea this is becoming quite the group. And I LOVE both of your suggestion!

    Everyone is welcome to toss out there ideas and suggestion as well for the group!! And to start with maybe a group name like Galathea said?

    Here is the list of everyone in the group so far if yall want to friend each other for extra motivation and support!

    i'm in!
    starting weight: 181
    current weight: 160
    goal weight: 140

    i've been at a plateau for about 1.5 months and i've been trying REALLY hard to break it--hopefully this will give me an extra push to break through to the 150's.
