    Hey sophiegrace54 !!

    We would be happy to have you in the group!! I agree with you, a "light" challenge allows us to focus on weight loss AND still enjoy life a bit. making it more of a "lifestyle challenge" and less of a diet! Plus we are more likely to maintain it if we do it at a reasonable pace. Did you get the invite?? If not , I'll add you to the group today!
    This sound great!
    I like the idea of a lower goal (mine would be about 9lbs if we're going by 5% body fat) because it will keep me up-beat and motivated, especially over the summer months which is when I often indulge a bit more than usual due to holidays, parties, BBQs hahaha :)

    cbeanies - I'll send you an invite!! We look forward to all interested motivated people who are looking to GET inspiration and BE an inspiration!! :-D

    jillebee44 YAYYYY!!! WE can recover from our injures together! I'm not saying I'm happy you're injured but I AM happy we can recuperate together! :-D

    tj3075 Hey there!! Did you get an invite?? If not I'll get you now! FB and I are tag-teaming this... so if we missed anyone just let us know :-D

    hncall01 - Hey!! I will add you now :-D I'm sending out official invites now!
    I really love this idea! I would love to be apart of this and gain some great friends out of it all.
    I gained a lot after my relationship ended a couple years ago and just felt like I never had a reason to get myself back together and I just kind of let myself go. So now, my main goal is to get back to where I was when I was happy and felt good about myself.
    I guess if I'm doing 10% of my weight would be at 21 or 22 lbs for this challenge. So, here is to a slow but steady start and keeping myself on the right track!! I would love to have some encouraging friends on here as well!! Add me if you would like! =]

    You can all fee free to add me as a friend if you want to see my daily updates and other shenanigans! :-D

    Quick update! I had trouble adding sparkleliones and sophiegrace54... MFP says these are invalid names?? I'm not sure why! Maybe try sending an email to MFP to see why they are saying you don't exist! :)

    Hope to have you in the group soon!

    Thanks for the invite! I will post in the group thread tomorrow my goals. I'm so glad this isn't a militant challenge-I don't do well with those. I'm 5-10 lbs from my goal so know the weight loss will be modest but I need to really get a handle on my food!

    No worries Cardbuc, I don't do well with militant! I revolt! hahaha :-D

    See you when you weigh in.

    Be motivated then motivate others!

    Gona,

    Problem is probably that you used the name displayed under the profile pic on posts above. If the name is long, MFP abbreviates the name by cutting off the extra letters. You need to open their profile page to get the full name.

    Sparklelioness (ends with 2 "S"'s)
    sophiegrace543 (ends with a "3")

    I added both last night. :-)

    This should be fun!

    I have a couple of holidays in July & August, so I'd like something to keep me on track and stop me using holiday pounds as an excuse to give up for a month! :smile:

    I'm in, I'm in, I'm in!!! I would also like to loose 8%.

    Other goals than body weight, fit back into my size 8's comfortably.

    I will count calories, aiming for 1 lb loss/wk. Workout 5x/wk. Watch portion size. Try to cut out junk! Drink more water.

    I'm excited to have found this!

    Id like to join. Im lookng to lose weight and tone my body. After quitting smoking I replaced my cigarettes with food. Gaining +10lbs. Now i have a total of 26 to lose. I really want to join the group because I need the motvation. At home I have quite alot of trouble with my husband, hes one of those skinny guys who can eat anything and everything without gaining one pound. The worst part is he eats all of these things right in front of me and sometimes its hard for me not to get tempted and join him. Ive talked to him about it many times but he just doesnt understand the struggle of gaining weight, trying to keep it off, eating better etc. So really im looking to join this group to keep me motivated. Thank you.
