Welcome, everyone. Glad to have this group up and running for everyone.
I have been on MFP for 5 weeks and dropped 7 lbs (I weigh-in Saturday and expect to be down around 10lbs).
I think that dropping an average of 2 lbs per week is a stretch for me to sustain, but I'd like to give it my all and see what I can do. I believe I'm 6 lbs away from feeling good about my body and 17 from reaching my goal weight.
Feel free to add threads and have fun sharing information.
Good luck to everyone and I hope that you find this group enjoyable and helpful.
Cheers, my new friends.

Welcome, mattnjakesmom. I'm tylernjakesdad :-) Great job dropping 38. Here's to dropping 46 total by the end of September.0 -
HI! I lost 30# last year on my own, but have stalled out this year -- can't seem to do it. So I'm excited about this challenge. My weigh-in last week was 231 and today it was 229.5. So that was good. I still have a loooooong way to go but I know I'll get there eventually! My goal was to do it slowly -- about 30# a year x three years = 90 pounds. I'd like to lose maybe 10# more than that, but will be thrilled with the 90# (so will my cardiologist!)0

Hey everyone!
Great challenge! I went from 200 lbs in November 2010 to 160 in August 2011. I hit a plateau for a year...the good new is I at least know I can maintain! Now I'd like to keep going. I've lost another 5 lbs total during July and August, and I would love to lost another 8 lbs in September!
I don't necessarily have a final goal weight in mind, but I do have an ultimate goal of looking good in a bikini next summer. I think it's doable.
Best of luck to everyone with this challenge!!0 -

Hey Guy!

My goal is 135lbs.
This will be my first challenge and I'm looking forward to meeting the challenge with you guys.

I love the idea of this challenge. I started with MFP at the end of July and was able to lose 9.8 pounds during the month of August so I need to keep the motivation going. My starting weight for the challenge is 171.2 and my ultimate goal weight is 150-155. Best of luck to everyone, to a healthier life and reaching our goals.0

Count me in!! I participated in the August challenge and while the jury is still out on my progress (weigh-in tomorrow morning), it's looking like it's going to be about 9 pounds.
But my willpower and resolve is just as strong now as it was at the beginning of August, so I'm in for another round!
I will post my current weight and "month of September" goal weight tomorrow after my weigh-in. I'm ready to do it again!! Thanks pahsar for starting the group.0 -

Hey everyone!
I'm wicked excited about doing this challenge because not only is it my first challenge but if I complete the challenge I'll be at my goal weight! :-) I started in Febuary and have lost a total of 12 pounds so far and have 8 more to go. My starting weight was 160 now I'm at 148 which was my original goal (BTW I'm 5'9) but realized that I needed to lose more to get that bikini body that I've always wanted. So hopefully I get there by the end of this month!0 -
Hi everyone! My name is Erica. I am a new first-time mother to a beautiful baby boy named Liam. I have already completed one round of Beach Body's INSANITY and loved what it did for my body and baby weight. I still have more toning and weight that I want to take off, as I am expected to be getting engaged to my wonderful boyfriend soon, and want an even more fit body for engagement photos. All-in-all I am looking for a healthy lifestyle change, eating really clean, and working out 6 days a week, to not only be transformed physically, but mentally and emotionally.
This is my first time ever belonging to a group like this and doing a challenge, other than INSANITY. I have started into my second round and first week of INSANITY again and will be incorporating Brazilian Butt Lift, shortly afterward into my workout routine. I am really hoping this group will give me even more of the push I need to get my numbers down. I have not weighed myself since after I gave birth to my son, 7 months ago. I need to get a scale. I however do have my measurements if anyone is interested. Thanks and good luck to you all! I hope to make friends here and people who would be encouragements to one another.
Height: 5'7''
Last Weight In (February 12'): 165-160lbs
Current Weight: ? I need to buy a scale!
Goal Weight: 140-135lbs0 -

Hi everyone, I have been logging into mfp for over 700 days in a row. I just finished Shred and would like to begin RI30. Is anyone else starting that in September?0

Hi everybody....I rejoined MFP in August and dropped 8 pounds so far...my starting weight was140,and now I'm 132. It would be great if I can lose another 8 pounds in September.0

Hi all, my name is Steph.
Work prevented me from throwing myself fully into the August challenge and I'm determined not to let that happen again in September.
Current weight 165 pounds = goal for this month 157 pounds. My overall goal is to be 150 pounds by 01 Nov.
Bring it on!0 -
Hello Everyone!
This will be my very first challenge on MFP. Last year I lost 34 lbs by running and doing Zumba DVDs at home, I also changed my eating habits into healthier ones. This whole year I've been at the same weight most of the time (128), I haven't been pushing myself as much as I did when I first started last year, I guess its because I got comfortable and forgot my original GW.
This Challenge is great for me to get back on track and stay on track! I go to Zumba class twice a week and Spinning the other two nights, on the fifth day I plan on doing strength training and running. I will rest on the weekend and plan on going on a two week NO CARB diet starting tomorrow, just so that I can teach my body to eat properly once more.
Really excited! I hope this excitement lasts the whole month and so on! 0 -
Hi All,
I would LOVE to join this challenge! If I can lose 8lbs in September, that would put me below my short-term goal, which would be amazing! I'm getting married in October and I currently DO NOT fit into my dress. grrrr
I've lost 6lbs since starting MFP in early August and with the help of everyone here, I CAN DO THIS challenge. This will be the first challenge for me via the internet.
My current weight is: 157
My Goal weight is: 140.
Lets do this thing!0 -
Hi All
I really need the motivation to lose weight at the mo, my weight just keeps creeping up and up and my clothes feel so tight. Will be very happy if I manage to lose 8lbs in September. let's do it.0 -
Hey! I'm Nadia.
Two weeks ago I cut out refined sugar and processed carbs from my diet, but after seven days I left for a trip to Spain and totally fell off the wagon.
In order to stay on track, I started using MFP a week ago, and it seems to be working
Last year I went to see a nutrician and lost 12lbs by dieting alone and some cardio, but it was a stressful year and I gained it all back.
Now I'm back at my starting weight of 74 kg (163 lbs), and I want to change.change.change.
As I said, I'm trying to cut out sugar & carbs.
I live in Italy, and there really isn't an abundance of junk food everyday: I just said goodbye to candy, substituted stevia for sugar (in my tea), and read labels for what's packaged (like cereal and sauces).
Now what's really hard is the CARBS!! I'm a carb lover, and I went from eating pasta everyday for lunch to not having it at all, not a single day.
I don't really miss it, but planning meals every day seems like such a daunting task now! I always feel as if there's nothing to eat, I need to get creative and learn to like veggies!!
Also, I've never exercised for real, except for some cardio at the gym.
I've started a Beginner Body Weight Workout 3days a week, but mostly I don't know what I'm doing and I don't wanna get hurt
I would really, really LOVE to make exercising a part of my routine, but I don't know where to start!
Do you guys have any advice for a workout that's good for newbies?
(I wish I could run, but I have a foot problem that makes it incredibly hard and painful on my feet)
Until I can pay for the gym next month, I'd like something cheap-o but that works
I'm really excited about this challenge (and you can tell, too, I've rambled like there's no tomorrow! sorry)
We can do it!0 -
Hi I’m Diane,
After the 10 pd August challenge I know 8 pounds is a more realistic goal for me.
In April, my plan began as 1-1.5 pd drop each week. I joined GISFW Get In Shape For Woman and was on a
good track. I sprained my ankle later and I am at 60% recovery.
MFP starting weight: 173.6
Current weight August 31 is 161.4
My weighin day is Monday.
The journal track of food & exercise combined with the great people on MFP are working together fo rme.
Thanks everyone,
:flowerforyou: and thank you pashar2 for keeping our August journey going forward.0 -
HI! My name is Julie. My goal is to lose 8 more pounds by my birthday- September 28th, so this challenge is perfect to help me with this goal!
I have lost about 20 of the 40 pounds I'm trying to lose over about two and a half months. I've been losing some motivation the last couple of weeks, so it's time to pick it up and start pushing again! I'm excited to have this opportunity to do it with you guys!0 -
Hi Everyone! **waves**
My name is Erin and I started on MFP in May of this year. So far I have lost 24lbs and would like to loose about 16 more before my wedding dress fittings in November :blushing:
This is my first MFP and I'm excited to meet this goal with everyone!0
