This challenge has been going on for awhile and restarts each month. All are welcome. You can start anytime in the month and see how close you can get. To introduce yourself, share a small or unusual NSV (Non Scale Victory).

Here is how it works:

Post CW current weight
GW Goal weight
Weekly weigh in days

Total lost.

Silly NSV - my feet got skinny and my cool sandals are too loose!
For me:

    Every time I've tried to lose faster than a half pound per week, I've started feeling lousy and had to drop out. But you inspire me, so I'm posting here just to get this in my "My Topics", so I can follow along and be inspired.

    I'm new to MFP, so hopefully these challenges help me stay focused!

    NSV - My "nice jeans" from this past summer are now my "fat jeans" (probably not PC to say, or conducive to the weight loss goal, but oh well...)

    This will be my first challenge. I finally have a weight scale so I can participate!

    NSV - I have been able to fit into more of my pre-pregnancy pants and my wedding ring slips onto my finger more easily.

    Hi, I'd like to join in too! No NSV to share except that I'm finally back and ready to lose some weight. I took a few months off for a pregnancy that ended at 2 months with a miscarriage. I have another month or so before we can start trying again so I might as well lose some weight while we wait!
