    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 the September challenge and met my goal for the month. I hope to maybe double this months challenge. Planning on running a 5K at the end of the month. Good luck to everyone!

    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!

    ALOHA, Everyone!

    My name is Ashley, I'm 23 as of 9/11/13. I grew up in a small town, on a dairy farm and now I still live in the same area. I have a desk job in the health care field. I live with my boyfriend James of 2 years, and our dog Jack and cat Nala.

    I started with MFP on June 3rd, 2013 and weighed 195lbs. Through calorie counting, portion control, and exercising, I currently weigh 177lbs as of 9/16/13. I am very proud of myself! I can admit that I am not pushing 100% to lose weight, I would say my efforts are 70%. I have changed my meals 100%, aiming to eat healthy like fish instead of hamburger helper, rice cakes instead of cheez-its... As far as exercising, that's where I could improve on. I work out maybe 3 times a week, either running, walking, biking, or Wii for 30 minutes usually. I would like to push harder during these workouts, maybe increase to 4 workouts a week, and maybe 45 minutes a time. I would also like to start with some strength exercises this winter.

    The summertime I usually get the most out of the nice weather I can, by working out outside (bike, walk, run.) Wintertime, I have a free gym membership at my work so I am hoping to use that, plus still run, walk, maybe bike, and Wii. I have not been in this new healthy lifestyle in the wintertime, so we'll see how that goes.

    I am very excited to be in this challenge, to lose 6lbs in Oct and maybe more, and to meet new friends! :)
