    Hi Tim,

    Well, been away for two weeks and everything has changed. Found the tread again. Good job, so many new members. This will get the swing back from the beginning of the year. Looks like we have a lot of a few good men. Do we all want the truth or can't we handle the truth.....

    Here's my truth: no change (LWW 115,1 CWW 115,1), this is in kilo's by the way. European members are allowed by Tim and he even converts it in some kind of weird imperial, outer space system. So no progress again, time to order the code Red.

    Warm welcome to all the newbies on this tread

    New here on this thread but I have been using MFP for about 7 months I have lost 80 lbs since Jan 1 and plan to lose a total of 100 by Dec 31 then write a book on "How to lose 100lbs after 50 yrs old". Should be a best seller but probably will not because most folks over 50 don't have the motivation needed to do that.
    I pastor Northwest Baptist Church in Leavenworth, Kansas. I have been married for 32 years and have 2 daughters both married to soldiers and both have 3 children, (my motivation).

    I weighed 202 lbs this morning.

    is this the official thread? I replied in 1 under Sucess Stories part of the message board, same thread title. "Looking for a few good men" just curious so I know where to track and post my progress once we get going.

    Wish we would have started this last week, I lost 4 lbs! :bigsmile:

    My "official" weight (as of Sunday, 16 Oct.) is 429.0

    Is there a check-in day everyone here uses? Good luck guys, feeling positive about our group here!

    Yep, this is the place. I had that thread moved here by a moderator. This was the more appropriate section of the message board.

    I personally weigh myself in on Sunday morning. I don't think it really matters what day as long as it is consistent. It could be Wednesday to Wednesday. It just that the results are posted Monday morning (hopefully).

    Dang, hate that I missed the sign up deadline. Would have liked to join this group. Saw it late when a friend posted here. Be glad to be on the alternate list, in case you have more attrition.

    If anyone else would like to friend me up, I'd be happy to have more active friends for motivation. I can keep up with this group vicariously through you guys.

    Thanks,
    Greg

    Excellent! I check regularly throughout the week, but my "keeper" is the Sunday morning weigh-in. Thanks, Tim!

    OK, here we go. First off, a huge welcome to all the new guys on here. I am looking forward to reinvigorating myself and get this weight loss journey kickstarted again.

    There are a whole bunch of us now. There is a huge variety in our ages, jobs, weights, how long we have been on MFP, etc... We have one man that is just starting his weight loss journey and we have another that has already lost almost 160 pounds (just wow!). But one thing we all have in common is wanting to become healthier. I will commit myself to pushing you. I ask that you do the same for me and the others and to regularly post your results.

    I hope I have everyone's info correct. If not, just let me know.

    In regards to the chart;

    Blue = those with a posted loss
    Yellow = those with no change
    White = those that I do not have last weeks info from

    In the yellow and white section, it is just a random order.

    Now, beginning next week, I will be able to use your previous weeks weight because you have all given me your current weight (with the exception of oswaldbowser).

    Lastly, if I don't receive an update from anyone for about 3 weeks, I will probably have to remove that person from the list. 21 people is an awful lot to keep track of.

    With that being said, this weeks biggest loser is BroDave with a loss of 4 pounds. Fantastic job!!!

    Hey. Thanks for the welcome! I don't usually check my weight everyday just because I feel more motivated to check once a week. It keeps me going and wondering what I will weight by the end of the week. Do we check out weights on Sunday or Monday?

    If you can check and send me your weight by Sunday night, that will allow me to have it and post it Monday morning.

    I find the easiest thing for me will be to post here first thing Monday morning if that's ok with tdolin. I am up at 4:30 am so I am sure it would be the same as Sunday night.

    That will work out great. I start going through all the post and putting them into a spreadsheet over the weekend. That way I have most of it done by Monday morning. A couple of Monday morning entries won't bother me a bit.

    Thanks for posting the info. Since this is week one, my last week's weight would be the same as my current weight (203). I have been doing a weekly weigh-in on Friday and will send that to you Fridays or Saturdays.

    I'll post a intro soon.
