Its our first week together, so lets keep it simple so we can start building the good habits while scoring some easy wins.

So for our kick off week lets check in with the stats weight at the beginning of the challenge/ current weight/goal weight at the end of the challenge. Also, to help with the accountability portion of things, starting Monday log on to MFP daily and update your status, comment on a friend's status, participate in a forum...anything to get engaged in the MFP world. I know you are busy and probably sleep deprived, but it just takes a couple minutes. If you are already a MFP faithful this should be an easy one.

    kellimiller1, my bad...I was putting this together while sleep deprived. The challenge will run from Monday until the end of the year, participants pick whatever weightloss goal they want. Each monday we will weigh in and report our progress and trouble shoot with other folks who may need a helping hand. Throughout the challenge we will pick something to focus on during the week, this could be a feature from MFP such as tracking food or just a health/fitness principle in general. Participants are welcome to post as much or as little as they want/need to, although it really only works if everyone agrees to at least check in for weigh ins...but the more frequently people post/participate/share the more successful people tend to be. I hope that makes sense. :-)

    My goal is150 if the challnge ends by January. My dream goal is 120 :)

    I am a day late too!

    Using a starting weight of yesterday: 162.0/162.0/155.0

    That is my goal weight for the end of the year (really sooner, but with the goal to keep it off through the holidays and my return to work at the end of November).

    I have a goal to lose another 5 - 7 pounds in 2013, which will take me too my 'skinny' weight and what I weighed when I met my husband 10 years ago.

    Good luck ladies! Thanks to the site and seeing all the other ladies on here, I have lost 6 pounds in the last 4 weeks. It does work!

    Haha so I didn't realize I was suppose to be posting all this here, but I did do it on my status. So my start weight was 205, my current weight as of Monday was 173.2, and my goal weight for the end of this challenge is 157. I would like to get down eventually to my pre kid post high school weight of 120.

    I wish there was a way to get to these groups from the iphone app. I use that 95% of the time, so tend to not come here. I am trying to keep up with the challenge, and am glad to see some many particpiating via status updates!

    Let me know if I am missing something and there is a way to get to the groups via apps!
