Hi, I've been on here for almost a month. I'm 36 and I want to lose at least 50 pounds. I hope mfp helps.

    How has your first month gone? Are you making progress? Are you having any struggles?

    If you have any desire to share your frustrations and celebrations with a group of folks with similar goals, you might enjoy a group I'm involved with called "Lose 1 Pound a Week and Keep it Off." It's a private group, so when you click on that link you'll have to request to join, and you'll be approved pretty quickly.

    There's only two requirements. First, enter your starting weight and goals for each quarter of the year. Easy. Second, enter a weekly weigh-in. Also easy. We have some ongoing other challenges, all of which are completely optional. They can be fun. We also try to do a "special challenge" each week, although we don't always get one up. The group is run by a few volunteers, and we're off doing fun things sometimes.

    Check it out if you want. Invite your friends. We're not really recruiting, but... we're kind of recruiting.
