    Yes, the check-in's are done via the message boards. So there's a check in each week, but the ultimate goal is to lose 6 lbs by the end of the 4 week period. :) Good luck!! :D

    I want in too! I am starting 2 days late but I like the idea of being accountable to a group.

    My starting (this morning) is 141.

    My overall goal weight is 120.

    I also need movitation and support with getting up and working out in the morning, becuase that is the only time I will be able to do it. This morning I put my alarm out of my bedroom with my workout clothes right next to it, and it worked, and I got a 2 mile run in!

    Hey Guys!!

    Excellent work for everyone joining in so far!!! It's hard work for sure, but try to just think of each day one a a time. Be good this ONE day and then think of tomorrow separately in the same way. I find this makes it a bit better, because I don't feel like I have weeks and months stretching out ahead of me.

    Also, I found this fabulous website talking about how to exercise and eat based on what really works for weight loss - proper nutrition in moderation and regular, varied exercise. I particularly like the way the information is presented because it's easy to read and outlines some simple steps. I read it and thought: "Yeah, I can totally follow these easy steps!"

    Keep up the good work everyone!! :D

    Hi Count me in. At the moment it is so hot, far to hot to exercise but that is just an excuse.... I need a challenge. I really need to lose the weight I have put on over the years. I lost some at a boot camp last year and then put it back on ( and more) plus lost all the fitness. I can remember how good I felt whern lighter and fitter and need to hold onto that.
    I usually weigh in kg ( I think it is part of my avoidance of reality 70.7 is over 11stone ( how did I get from 9 stone to well over 11 )
    4 weeks I can do it

    26th July 155 lbs

    oooh, oooh, ooooooh, I'm in too! Been here a while (1.5 years) and have been slow and steady losing weight. Getting close to my goal weight but been plateaued for about a month (mostly cause I was on vacation and not really counting). Need this push to lose my last 12 lbs, and after that my focus will not be the scale, but will be BF%. Anyway, here's my deets...

    Starting weight --- 153

    I noticed some people mentioned they are interested in friends. I will look for you and friend you. Others, feel free to friend me too, just please note in the message that we are in the mini-challenge together. I get all sorts of confused when people friend me with no message. IDK, it just feels weird

    I want in! I need something to kick-start my motivation. I'm trying to familiarize myself with MFP, do you guys eat back all calories you exercise?

    Startng Weight: 159

    1st post....right here :)

    depends on how much I exercise. Basically anything under 300 calorie burn I try not too, anything above that I try to eat back about 1/2. Also, depending on your settings makes a difference about whether or not you should eat them back. Some people like to set their calories low (like 1200) and eat back their exercise so they eat about 1400-1600 a day, others set it higher and don't. Doesn't matter so much as long as you pick and approach and stick with it. Basically 1 lb=3500 calories, so if you're looking for 1.5 lbs you need to burn 5250 calories more than you eat. Hope this helps!
