    I am 30 something and could use a boost. I need to figure out my new routine now that school has started for the kids. I just read you next post my doctor told me to eat at least 1200 cals a day and drinks 8 glasses of water a day. If this works for you then I am in.

    Pam - Lose 10 lbs by Halloween, 15 cups of water a day, exercise 6 days a week, twice a day...maintain a 1600-1800 calorie range

    Alright Ladies copy and paste to add your goals. How about a weekly check in day? Fridays work? We can make it a closed group. Let's make it officially closed on this Friday the 9th in case others want to join between now and then.
  • Hey can I get in on this as well? I just started Sunday and I need to kick a few before Halloween. :) I won't weigh in until Sunday...so I guess I'm at 0.

    Ladies - Please post your goal. Since Halloween is on a Monday, let's do weigh ins on Monday. Good luck! The winner gets a big bag of chocolate. LOL! Just kidding! :laugh:

    Feel free to chat and get to know each other here and I will post a new link on Sunday night.

    I'm in. I was a mere 2 pounds away from my goal in May. Now I'm 10 pounds away :grumble: I need to find some motivation. Joining a group worked for me in the beginning, hopefully it will work again!

    My Halloween goal (which is actually 3 days after my birthday!) is to lose 5 pounds and to get back to my menu planning habit.

    I'd love to join in! I'm new to this site and to my weight loss journey (well this journey!) I could really use the support and motivation that I'm sure a group would bring!

    I'd love to lose 15lbs by halloween - by tracking all my food daily and exercising 5x/wk.

    Is it too late to get in? I'm a thirty something mom of 4. I need the extra motivation!

    As previously stated, I'm a mom of four (11- 7.5-3-1.5) and I gained weight with each of them. I've been using MFP for a month and a half now and have lost 12-13 pounds but I've kind of flatlined. I can't seem to get past this point. I'm on 1200 cal x day and am usually good about sticking to that. and I exercise at least 5 days a week. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    Closed Group is a perfect way to contain the group. I think who ever is in this group should MFP friend each other to motivate each other along.

    Maybe a spreadsheet needs to be created as well to keep the weigh ins consistent and accurate?

    Just a few thoughts!
