    I could use some motivation too. I'll join you if that's OK with you.

    I'm pretty good with my 30 min elliptical workout each day (sometimes two a day), but what I need to keep a lid on is my food. I'm in the ballpark but don't make the 1 or 2 pound per week goal.

    So far I've lost 10 pounds at the rate of about 2 pounds per month. I'm not half way to my goal yet so this could help jump start me.

    Would love to try --- just signed on today, so I am not sure how I will do. I definitely need some OUTSIDE motivation (can't seem to do it on my own...) Here's to a challenge! -- Jen

    I'll join in with all of you! I've never done a challenge like this before, so I'll give it a go. I'd be so psyched if I lost 5 pounds over the next month. Thanks for setting this up. I weigh in every day...today I was 150.8

    hey jen welcome :) you`ll do great. being on mfp is a step in the right direction and i find that challenges help as well maybe because i`m competitive :P just take a day at a time and small goals like 5lbs at a time work better than a goal that looks too big from the start.
