Any weight loss challenges out there?

I'm looking to join a group that does a weekly weigh in...some sort of challenge. Anyone know of any going on...or about to start?
I was faithful to this site until February, then fell off the wagon. Luckily, I didn't gain any weight back...I acutally lost a couple of pounds, but I look at the time lost and think how much more I couldve lost.
I recently came upon a picture of myself from July 2006, right before I started my weight loss journey. I've lost roughly 80 pounds since then, but still have over 100 to go.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to join a weekly weigh in group? That is what gives me the most motivation.

If you want, I'll start one with you.
I need the motivation!
And congrats on the weight loss! Wow!0 -
That's fabulous!!!! I'm just about to log into the 100 lbs group so keep your eyes open! There are lots of us on there with 100 + or less, depending on when we joined!!! Welcome aboard!0

The challenges I can think of are (100 to loose something like that) 25 to life, july 4th, labour day0
-
If you guys are starting one, I want in. the challenge I was in fell apart a month ago......... hmmmmmm what shall we call the challenge?0
-
Hmmmmm........
I'd hate to exclude the guys out there....
Something with summer? Tank Top Challenge?0 -
Well, I definitely think we can start one, but I don't know what to call it. I'd like to do a weekly weigh in, but i'm not sure of the time frame? Maybe we could start next week...mid week maybe, and go for a couple of months? Summertime challenge? thoughts? ideas? this is going to be fun.0
-
I'm in for a challenge. I've lost 8 and have 93 to go!
Let's figure something out!!!!0 -
How about Summer Sisters......... for women who want to lose weight in the face of all of summers obstacles! (ie- vacations, ice cream, bbq's) We could weigh in weekly in a weekly post...... and track our group losses?0
-
I am totally in. This is going to be a very good challenge, I think. Woo!0
-
How about we do our first weigh in now and move on from there? What's a good day? Monday seems good...keeps you from being too naughty on the weekend
I've lost one pound and have 29 to go.
And summertime sisters sounds fun!0 -
Summer Sisters....sounds good. But what about the men? Surviving Summer? Is that too corny?0
-
Give it to August? That'll be the time frame to lose as much (in the healthy way) as possible?0
