Need New Friends! Maybe a 2024 Weight Loss Challenge?

Hello everyone, I could always use more friends. I live in Michigan with my hubby. I've been married for 8 years. I consider myself to be lightly active, but as a childcare worker, that is a workout in itself. I'm 5"6 225 right now, hoping to get down to at least 175 by the end of 2024. :smile:

    If you are looking for a challenge on MFP, the following are my favorites. They are both friendly competitions with teams - but in a really fun way. Noone really cares who wins, but you work together to try to make your team be on top. Both have new rounds starting in January if you are interested. I highly recommend them. I am still a work in progress, but have lost 64 pounds this year and I owe a lot of my success to these groups.

    The first is based off the Biggest Loser TV show, but of course noone gets voted off. There are teams (full disclose I am co-leader in the Determined Desert Tortoises so kind of biased on the best team) who are competing to get the highest score in the challenge and the highest weight loss percentages. The weekly challenges change each week (like a bingo card to check off - with excercise, nutrition and self help chores). The Determined Desert Tortoises are a wonderful group; sharing great ideas, support, motivation, and accountability in such a nonjudgmental way. We would love for you to join us! Registration ends tomorrow.

    If you are interested in joining the BLC 54 you will need to join our registration team and read about our teams to be ready to join us. Give it a try - you won't be disappointed. Follow the links above to learn about the teams and to register.

    If you are a Harry Potter fan - this challenge is AMAZING. So creative! I am not going to lie, if you do everything (you don't have to), it is a lot. I am in the Hufflepuff house. Here is the next round sign-up thread which starts January 12.
