Starting a Challenge~~do you want to take this step with me,

svgarcia

Hi everyone~
Starting Monday, August 30 I want to start a challenge, and ending Sept. 30 (let's take it a month at a time). Please let me know if anyone wants to join. I've messaged another member & she is wanting to take this step with me. I tried doing this on my own, all to myself & I cant. I seem to keep failing. And I think that's the difference with Weight Watchers meeting, I would have to go in every week & my leader/receptionist will weigh me & someone gets to see if i gained or lost! That was accountability....So if we share that here, I think we can have the added support!

Here's what is expected:
Posting stats will be weight, age & height, measurements on chest, waist, abs (belly button area), hips.....
Weights & measurements be done every Monday so we can track & see & share our results for accountability....
Journaling what we eat & our exercise....
and maybe, just maybe, posting a pic of ourself so we can see before/after!

I think this will give us great motivation....

Count me in! If I may suggest, it may be helpful to post your goal for the month. For example, it might be to lose 5 pounds or it might be to exercise for an hour 4 times per week. Post if you met your goal from the previous week. I record everything I eat and drink along with exercise and have made that public - I welcome any comments or suggestions.

Lithuria

I'd love to join in with you! It's my first week on MFP so I haven't settled quite into a routine yet, this is the perfect way to keep me motivated through the first month (always my hardest!) and get me into the routine

Count me in.

I weight between 150 and 144 pounds. I originally lost 6 lbs and I am now stuck. I've been working out for a month now almost five days a week and nothing.......I increased my water to 8 cups a day. The last three days have been hard because of stress with kids going back to school. Really could use a team. I'll cheer for you....Please cheer for me.

As of today my current weight is 148
my goal is 135 and to hold 170 secs in a pull up position on a pull up bar.
Im 42 years old
