Hi, Im new to MFP. I joind a few days ago. As I noticed most of the August groups are closed. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a joining a mid-aug group. Lose 5+ lbs before September. Anyone can join, just fill out your SW, GW, and What your plan is to lose the weight. We can check in every friday to update our weight. I only ask for people who are serious about losing the weight and do plan to check in every week.


SW: 214
GW by Sept 1: 209
What you will do to lose the 5+ lbs: I started the South Beach Diet and will do the Jillian Micheals 30 day shred dvd. As their is only 19 days left, I plan on a few days doing the dvd twice a day.

    I will try!

    I was at 175 this morning, so I will try to be at 170 on September 1st.

    Edited to answer the second part....I will continue running 2 miles a day (maybe up that to 3 when the time is right) and my 10 minute strength video and possibly some Hiit workouts from TurboFire and of course don't go over calorie goal.

    I'm keeping track of what I eat and no sugar, flour or processed food.
    Just eating fresh.
    I'm also getting in 2 miles a day and strength training or yoga for 30 minutes a day.
    Looking forward to checking in every friday.

    I lost 2 lbs this week. I'm happy i finally budged over the 213 #. Seems like forever I couldn't get past it. I plan to increase my cardio this week and put a more limit on my carb intake. A mini goal for me is to be 209 by 8/26/11. I hope everyone did great this week :)

    I think I've hit a plateau. I'm going to try to be better about eating my exercise calories. Although I think I've lost about .5 off my waist. Who knows, but hopefully next week will be better.

    No matter how big or small, a loss is a loss. The smallest loss is better then any gain. CONGRATS! Keep up the good work. you can do it :)

    Much better week for me. I probably won't hit a 5lb loss, but as my weight's getting lower, I'm learning to be happy with any progress, especially inches lost.
