Welcome, everyone. Glad to have this group up and running for everyone.

I have been on MFP for 9 weeks and dropped 17 lbs. :-) I find that these challenges are motivating to me ... I gain a sense of accountability.

If you are new to these challenges or if you did the previous one or two (August/September), welcome. Glad you decided to give it a run.

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.

    Hi all!

    I did a lose 5 in September challenge and met my goal so I am up for a lose 6 in October. I am going to have a hectic month with a nice reward trip at the end of the month to the FL.

    I joined MFP in July and have found it to be challenging to be back to teaching and shifting my workouts to 5am. I pack my lunch daily, cook most nights and try to eat cleanly. My weakness is chocolate! I got some little 45 cal dark chocolate squares eating one almost daily seems to help keep the dessert monster at bay.

    HI Everyone, I joined MFP 10 weeks ago and lost a total of 9 pounds. I need the support and encouragement of a group to keep going because it feels like the weight loss is stalling. I am driving myself crazy.

    So I went to the Doctor yesterday and I weighed in at 160 lbs!!! I was so bummed out and ashamed. This time last year I was at 146..... So here I am. I need some support. I knew when I looked in the mirror I was putting on some weight but this was a bad surprise....

    Hey everyone! This is my first time joining a group. I have been a member of MFP for awhile now, but have recently really let things slide. I'm getting married next June and I want to be healthy and able to maintain a better lifestyle by then.

    Good luck to everyone!

    i went through the exact same thing at about the same range went from 145 to 165 in a bout a 6 month period knew i had gained some but was shocked when i finally got on a scale and so ashamed for letting myself get that out of shape. I have since lost 20 of that weight still have a bit to go. You can do this this girl!

    Thanks, everyone for joining. 100+ members so far. I would expect that a few dozen more may roll in within a few days.

    Good luck and remember to submit your weekly progress -- even if the progress isn't good, it's important to stick with your personal commitments.

    Hello, I am joining because I am desperate and need some accountability. I'm only 7ish pounds about from my heaviest weight ever, and that scares me! I would love some new motivational friends. It seems most on my friends list have given up. My anniversary is the 31st, and I would love to celebrate it 6 pounds lighter+

    I did both the August and the September challenges. Both times I met the goal and I definitely know it's because these groups help me stay accountable. Have a great month!
