We will weigh in every Saturday and I will post a chart every Sunday of everyones success. It is recommend to lose 2 pounds a week, with 4 weeks thats 8 lbs, so I added 2 lbs. I think it can be done and in a healthy way. I started a December group and we have lost as a group 85 lbs so far. I will be disciplined and push you because you deserve to lose weight, be healthy and happy. I am looking for serious people only. I will be dedicated to everyone in the group.

I started mfp at 200 lbs and while that may not be much to some ppl I'm only 5'3" and I barely show my weight bcuz my organs will store fat before my body will show the extent of it according to my doctor. She even had me step on the scale 3 times bcuz she couldn't believe I weighed that from how my weight proportions. :ohwell:0 -

That is great, I am so excited that we have so many people up for the challenge. I know it is 2 weeks early to start talking about January weight loss, but I thought that with Christmas, new years and many holiday parties going on, we will be more conscience of our exercise and eating over the next two weeks, knowing that we have a group challenge ahead. Keep going strong and losing and practicing healthy habits so come January 1 we will be ready to roll. I imagine that as we get closer we will have a lot of people join so to keep things easy, we will complete our weigh ins every saturday. If someone does not weigh in, I will remove their name from the chart that I complete on Sunday. Although, stuff happens, and we can't always be at our computers so if you had an emergency or lack of internet access just send me a message. I want to keep it fair for the ones who do weigh in. And as all my awesome people in the December group know, I am committed to helping everyone lose weight. I will be committed to you guys as well and I will not abandon the group. Every saturday I will be here to post my weight loss no matter what!. 0
