JOIN US! Sixers Heading into the Holidays - Starting 10/26

Phoenix_Rising

The Sixers are a group of MFPers who join together to do six week challenges (hence the nickname 'Sixers'!).

Our next challenge begins Tuesday, October 26th. INITIAL WEIGH IN.

We set our goals based on the weight we want to lose in the next six weeks. It can be any number you choose. If asked, we'd recommend aiming for 10%-15% of your total weight left to lose. For some, this is too much, and for some this is too small. Again, it's YOUR goal. We are here to encourage you!

We officially weigh in every Tuesday, updating our list. (You'll see the list when we start the next challenge. It's your name, Start Weight, Goal Weight, Current Weight, and +/- lbs. Very simple to follow.) We unofficially weigh in on Fridays (optional).

If you are looking for a group for accountability and support, come join us!!! :flowerforyou:

I just joined MFP today after losing 50 pounds on another weight loss site and then hitting a rough spot and gaining 17 back. That site has gone to crap so I am really glad I found this one!

drtamm

Loving it!!! Fresh New energetic faces to join our wonderful team of lovely ladies. I Have the drinks Cathy. Diet Coke, Water, Crystal light and Well.... some wine wouldn't hurt.

Take care ladies....

I am IN!!!!

I did MFP for 6 months faithfully, lost 70lbs. Am starting TODAY, and only down 37 lbs =( SO I need to get back to -70 lbs PLUS more. I can do this!

slightingscale

Can you handle one more new person? All of the other challenges are in full swing, so it's nice to find a new one starting up. Count me in! I need to be accountable to someone. Thanks for being so welcoming!

Susan (apple28analysis) SW 167, GW 130, CW 157 (10 pound mark - I'm in the double digits now :happy:).

I found a big balloon to bring to the party. What do you think?

Phoenix_Rising

Or should I bring a balloon tank?


Or wear them as a dress?


Or would you rather I bring in one of these balloons?

Phoenix_Rising

:flowerforyou:

chipper15173

the dress. it looks like whip cream.

amylou24

What if you arrive in the tank being carried along by the hot air balloons while wearing the dress. Yes? haha. :laugh:

And just so we're all on the same page, we start next Tuesday which is actually the 27th, not the 26th!

See you all then!
