    BTC's Numbers

    SW:235 (March 21012)

    CW: 214.1

    First GW: 190

    Second GW: I'll figure it out after 190 :)

    LTGW: 125

    Week 1: 09/05/13: 213
    Week 2: 09/12/13: 212
    Week 3: 09/19/13: 211
    Week 4: 09/26/13: 210

    I think these will be my goals for September. The first week on the 5th is my weigh in after my August 5 to Sept 5 goal which is 213 (fingers crossed).

    The others I just put at a pound a week -- after that 9/5 goal.

    Can someone tell me what all this means, I'm still kinda new to this... LOL
  • dward59

    Malia,

    This is a way we challenge ourselves for motivation and support during the month.

    SW = Starting Weight
    CW = Current Weight
    GW = Goal Weight ( for the month)
    LTGW = Life Time Goal Weight

    The dates are the date we will be weighing and posting that weight.

    Set a goal that is doable, but will help keep you motivated to track and work the program.

    We don't force you to hold to the goal. You can change if you need or want to. Life happens!

    Welcome to our group Demarii and Jess! I hope that you feel at home here. We are in deed an interesting bunch that I hope you will grow to love as much as I have. I, and I'm sure I can say the same for everyone else here, wish you the best of luck in reaching your goals and hope we can play a part in keeping you motivated or any other role we can in your journey. Now, as for me, my last weigh-in for August is tomorrow, so my numbers will be posted in the AM. Until then, good night Fitness Pals!

    Hi to all the new folks!


    We don't mind or care if you belong to just our wee club or to all the groups like ours that have come and gone on this site for ages!

    Terrified beginners and confident veterans can all play together. Be you a chatty Kathy or a Silent Sam, you are invited.

    All the nice people are welcome here!

    (We're kinda full up on trolls, but if anyone wants to apply, we have a waiting list. Talk to dward)

    We've never had any of the vitriol or venom that sometimes characterizes some of the boards in the wider MFP world--but if we did...well...let's just say it would be immoderately moderated.

    This is a safe and happy place full of really cool people who are earnestly working on something wonderful.

    I like it here. I hope you do too.

    @Demarii: totally missed that! Well, welcome back! :-) We're glad to have everyone aboard and I can't wait to see everyone's results!

    Well I wanted to edit my post, but I don't see it as an option. I meant to say those were my weigh-in goals, not actual weigh-ins.

    Thanks for all the welcomes!! I've been in groups similar to this on other websites, but never one on MFP (which makes sense, since I'm new to the site). I am really excited to get September underway and see everyone's progress!

    I was going to make a witty comment about trolls and bridges, but it's early and my brain doesn't want to be witty yet. Darn.

    I know I can lose 10 lbs in a month, I don't want to set myself up to fail so I am sticking with the 10 a month deal! I am really looking forward to the next month

    AHA! Mark, another kindred soul has joined the ranks. Those who believe this goup is dazzling best prepare for more brillance, those who don't well, you know how the saying ends. :D

    WELCOME Jess!

(Be glad your parents weren't too creative. My DW refused my suggestions for names for the kids. What is wrong with Mattie (short for Maternity) or Psy (Short for Psycho of course) pray tell?

    hmmmm....

    Sometimes dward confuses me--I can't help but feel I occasionally miss key references--but his ticker speaks for itself.

    "Pay no attention to the nasty man!" :devil:


    Welcome to everybody signing up for their first month, and Welcome BACK to everybody who blasted through August together!

    HA! Yes that is basically the route I was going with that. For some reason, my SO is leery about letting me name our future children, ever since I watched an episode of Whose Line and fell in love with the name Chesterfield Snapdragon McFisticuffs... Apparently that's just too much for a child to live up to. Who'da thunk it?

    Mark, check the Nickname thread. I think you will find your confusion cleared. Sorry to take posts out of their allotted play space, but darn it, sometimes that round peg does fit in the square hole in the puzzle!

    :embarassed: See? I was right. I WAS missing a key reference.

    Thanks!

    But that does not clear you of charges of being a trickster or a mutant--you know, MY kinda people.:bigsmile:

    Hi everyone! I'm new to the group and I want to thank the person who gave the 'how-to' for this, because otherwise I would have put my next mini-goal and not my 'this month' goal for my goal weight. I usually weigh self on Fridays. Excited to do this with you all!

    Carysta Welcome to the group. So glad you joined us.

    You are welcome for the refresher.

    Congratulations for your losses on your April Fools diet. (Hey, I'm a believer in 4/1 starts. That is the day I proposed to my wife. It was also a day they had the new version of Mission Impossible on TV, so I waited for the music to start before I asked. She fooled me though, she said yes. 24 years ago.) :laugh:
