edited September 2024 in Motivation and Support
Hello Everyone! :) I would like to form a group to support and encourage one another with our goals. In the next sixteen weeks (Monday, January 24 - Monday, May 9th) I would like to lose 13 lbs. I joined MFP in Feb 2010 - lost 20 lbs - but after getting married in August and starting a new job, I lost focus on my fitness routine and gained some weight back. I have begun training for my 2nd half-marathon and would like to get back in shape for good! Join me for the next 16 weeks to accomplish our goals and share our stories.

Aimee
Starting today: 138
Goal for May 9: 125

    I think this is a great idea Aimee! My goal weight is by June 4th ( my 25th bday) but I think a 16 week goal is awesome. :smile:
    I'll update with my current weight tomorrow when I weigh myself at the gym!

    When is your next half marathon?
    My first one is one week from today and my next one is apparently 17 weeks away on May 16th :)
    I have alot to lose, but I like the idea of this challenge!

    Weddings, Marathons, Mother's Day, Birthdays, Bikinis, Sundresses...Yourself! Whatever the reason....now is the perfect time! :) 16 weeks to reach our goals...together! Weigh-in once a week (whenever you can) and I will update the spreadsheet (probably Sunday nights).

    If you haven't posted your weight or goal...I will add it when you do! :)

    I think everyone has very realistic and achievable goals. Good Luck! :)

    I want to join in! :smile: I can't believe that may is only 16 weeks away. That is exciting because let me tell you, I am so sick of all of this snow! :noway:

    I would like to lose 14 pounds. That would put me at my first goal of 165.

    Hey girl, I just saw that you had me down for a goal of 155, but it's actually 159 :happy:
    [although I'd love to lose over 12lbs in 16 weeks, I just don't think it's possible this close to my goal weight!]

    Sorry Mandie! I will fix it in the next post! :smile:

    Hope everyone is having a great week! I have had a crazy week with work...but have gotten a workout in everyday so I am hoping my next weigh-in will be successful. :)

    So how do we do this - do we gave a specific checkin/weigh in day & time? And will we be tracking percentages along with lbs? :)

    Just write your weigh-in each week whenever you can before Sunday -- and I will post the chart on Sunday nights :) I can work on a percentage if you would like too!

    bonitagorda and juleslianne....AWESOME WORK!!!

    I will be weighing-in tomorrow, but I am nervous. I had a training out of town that I had to attend and my husband and I ate out for all of our meals...I did not make wise choices. Hopefully my exercise helped!

    I will post the chart tomorrow night so get your first weigh-in's posted! :smile:

    I am exactly 167 this morning for a total loss of 0.4 this week...which although it doesn't seem like much, I am happy with :smile: because I started doing some running this week [which I am not fond of] and think I'm already gaining muscle & possibly holding some water weight in my muscles too. I am really hoping to be 165 by Valentines day, so as long as I can reach that in the next 2 weeks, I'll be pretty pleased!
