F2F - Ready for August? Join Now! 🐞🌡️
Need a team for support and commitment? Some help getting inspired? We hope you'll consider FAT 2 FIT, a weight loss challenge and support group. A community. A wonderful group of warm, fun, and strong people to help make your journey possible. Come for AUGUST, and stay on for the long haul. This group is here to support you all the way to your goal and beyond!
AUGUST 2025 REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN
The August Challenge will run for four weeks from August 3 – August 30, because we always start on a Sunday and end on a Saturday no matter what! Adjust your calendars and prepare for action with your new team.
REGISTRATIONS:
Sunday July 26 - Saturday August 2
WHAT WE DO:
The group is divided into five teams. Each team is made up of 20-25 members, including Captains and Motivators. Everyone is required to weigh in weekly to gauge our success and have some fun rivalry among the teams. Everyone posts daily, or as often as possible to support one another, and to keep the discussions and commitment going. We conduct challenges throughout the month to help inspire and motivate. Your team is your community support group - active participation is strongly encouraged!
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO FIRST:
Before you join, please spend some time looking around.
Check out the teams - all the chat threads are under "Discussions". Group challenges and resources are under "Announcements". Look around and decide if you want to try this as your primary weight loss support and motivation team. If you stick with it, actively posting in your team, learning and helping - for the full month, we can practically guarantee you'll be happy with the results. Hopefully you'll like it so much you will stay for many more months! If it looks like you'd fit in, then SIGN UP 😄

I can't wait to find out how we will be organised.
Because everyone posted their weight in pounds, I'll correct my weight from kgs to pounds ( talking about my request in previous post, to join) so it is 186.2.
Good luck everyone!

Thank you very much for adding me to the August's chat.
I don't see option to introduce myself in July or August chat, so I'll do it here.
Last few years I gained total 14-15 kg . In January was my highest weight ever ( 78.3 kg). Many times I came to 75 and then back to 77. This time I really, really want to stay focused and not to give up after two weeks, which I usually do, for who knows what exact reasons.
My height is 169 cm. Weight today 76.3 kg
I wish everyone successful and enjoyable caloric deficit in next four weeks( and longer, as long as needed).
