😀 Welcome all new first timers to this challenge and "Hello again" to those returning for another month, another year, another round. 😀
I joined back in September of 2021, which was my first month back on MFP. In the first 9 months, I lost 40 pounds and use this challenge as motivation to stay on track. It is nice to have a medium-term goal that gets broken down into manageable chunks.
Pick your own goal, check in once per week, and at the very end of the month. Let's keep encouraging each other & staying focused on our individual goals.
You can change the dates to suit you, but try to keep it weekly as it shows off the weekly progress better😀
Pick whatever unit suits you -- lbs, kg’s or stones.
Feel free to copy & paste the chart:
February Start Weight:
February Goal Weight:
Ultimate Goal Weight:
February 1:
February 8:
February 15:
February 22:
February 29:
(Leap year!)
For those unsure how to do your weekly weight input:
When you want to do your weekly update do a search for your original post, copy and paste as a new post in the add post box then you can edit in your new weekly weight. A lot of people also maintain their post in a notes application on their device and just cut and paste into a new post.
It’s not a race go at your on pace, imagine where you could be in 6 months time!😀
Best of luck to everyone - have fun! 😀😀
Remember to bookmark⭐️ this group- makes it easier to find 😀

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

I’ve been trying to lose weight most of my life and I only achieved once which was very slowly, around 1 kg (2.2 lbs) per month but at the end of the year I lost 15 kg (33 lbs) which was great. Now I try to do that again! I want to lose 30 kg now, which will take 2 years. My main focus is consistency and having healthier habits. I’m not strict, it’s against my understanding, however sometimes I also want to see big changes in a short amount of time. But having higher expectations and comparing myself to others just have a negative impact on me. So I’m here for small changes and a long commitment. Every month I expect to lose 1-1,5 kg loss. If I can do more, that would be great though!

Here I am for February! A little background- I’m 5’10” and 52 years old. I had an aortic dissection in 2018. Come to find out, I had Marfan Syndrome and should not have been doing weight training. My age and lack of proper exercise is not a good combination for my metabolism.

Hi everyone! This is my first challenge - I'm 5'8, 49 years young, and live in St. Petersburg, FL.
I'm motivated to lose weight because this will improve my health, I'll feel better, and I'll look better, too!
I have a lot of work to do and so grateful to have challenges like this to keep me engaged. I plan to do check in's on Saturdays.

@HaCee75 Welcome! I joined MFP in August 2018 at 264 pounds. My highest weight in mid August 2017 was 311 pounds, in the hospital. This is a great challenge. I joined in October 2022 at 243.4 pounds. Best decision ever. So many times I wanted to give up, but I kept going! Again welcome and best wishes!
P.S. I am the one on the right in the black leather jacket.3 -

January weight loss: 5.4 lbs
February 1: 260. Looking forward to this weekend--the rain is supposed to slack up just enough during my one-day getaway to do some beachcombing. Also my skates will be here tomorrow and I can't wait. I don't think my health insurance is good enough for me to join the derby (I am GREAT at getting hurt 😂) but it will be fun to teach myself to skate backwards
