in Motivation and Support
Our initial weigh in and measurement day will be September 5th (this coming Monday).

The goal:

Lose 15 pounds or more by HALLOWEEN, Monday October 31st. (of course you can still join us if you have less to lose! )

We will also take measurements of only : Neck, Waist, Hips, and Thighs. (MEASUREMENTS ARE NOT Required, but can be motivational on those weeks where you don't see a loss on the scales!)

THE ONLY REQUIREMENT IS TO POST A WEIGH IN EVERY MONDAY.... and also measurements if you choose...but they are not required.
Share your first weigh-in on September 5th. I have preemptively put this challenge up NOW so that people see it and are aware next Monday for the weigh-iin.
Anyone's welcome to join at any point during the challenge.

You come back to this thread to post your results. I will be making a spreadsheet of the loss every week!

I will try to post daily challenges for us. They are not "required", but are there if you want to do them. EVERYTHING WILL BE POSTED ON THIS THREAD!


So, JOIN US! Everyone is invited!

    I have taken a picture of my current self (it is in my profile pics) so i can look back after we have done this challenge to see the difference.
    Is anyone else going to do this?

    Iiiii think I would like to try this :S
    I have a tendency to forget things, but I'd really like to try one of these. Halloween is my favourite day of the year and it would be nice to have another thing to make me happy that day. Also I've fallen off the tracks a little, so maybe this will help. I'm going to try to just lose 10, though. It's taken me since February to lose 19 so far so I don't want to set an daunting goal.

    I'm looking forward to this c:

    I'm going to weigh in differently for this challenge. Instead of first thing in the morning I will weigh at night I feel that it is a more realistic number. GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!!!!!!!
