Welcome to our new members!

If you are new and want to join in, by all means, please do - we love to celebrate those losses with you! This is the standard format we try to use for these threads:

Name: (if you'd like to share)

My Numbers:
SW: Starting weight before you lost anything.
CW: Current weight at the beginning of the challenge.
GW: Goal weight for the month (what you would like to weigh at the end of the monthly challenge) Try to keep it realistic and SAFE!
LTGW: Lifetime goal weight ( What you would like to weigh at the end of your weight loss journey)

Weigh-ins: What days you will weigh-in; for example, Mondays
11/6/23 = (Fill out after each weigh-in.)
11/13/23
11/20/23
11/27/23 (final weigh in for the month)
Total WL/G for the month= total weight lost or gained for the month

It was also suggested that we could track our measurements at the beginning of each month to see how we do there, so feel free to add those too this month!

    Hi there I'm new to the group and restarted MFP on Nov 1. Please feel free to add me to friends, I'd love more accountability buddies!

    I need to lose 100 lbs and I hope to meet my goal by May 2025, when I turn 40. Eventually I would like to get down to 140 lbs but my first priority is getting back to a healthy BMI at 163 lbs.

    I know I just posted but I didn't realise that another thing I'm in does Sunday weigh-ins so I'm gonna change mine bc I don't wanna get back on that scale tomorrow πŸ˜† I really only want to weigh myself once per week so that I don't obsess over it.

    Since I just started less than a week ago I know that this big drop is mostly water weight but I'm still gonna stick to my plan so that it'll become a real loss.

    Hi @mmatcha_latte welcome to the group! I'm afraid it's quite quiet at the moment (people dropped off for summer) but I expect it to get busier again :P I'll be here at least plodding away keeping group up for when others return! If you find any more active groups that you enjoy please do feel free to share them as I'd love some more folks to chat with!

    @Gnawcraft Thank you for the warm welcome! I also joined another group on here called 'Lose 100 lbs without surgery' and it seems pretty quiet too. I found some challenge groups on reddit as well. I'm always looking for more fellowship and support 😊

    @MKWXIII Welcome!! I'm a Melissa too! It sounds like we're also coming from similar places since I've been neglecting myself for the past few years (pretty much since Covid started) and I'm finally getting back to taking better care of my health.

    For some reason I can't add friends while I'm on the mobile app, the page just won't load. Feel free to add me or I can add you later when I'm at my pc. 😊

    @Gnawcraft Awesome drop this week! I'm just slowly getting back in the swing of things, planning more meals and cooking more at home, sneaking in more veg when I can. I hope it pays off but at the very least I'm feeling a lot more hopeful than I have in a long while ☺️
