This might have already been said or asked, but...When posting our goal weight, is it how much we want to lose in the 10 weeks or our whole weight loss goal? (:

    I also have a question. We the group just be to lose as much as possible, or will we have weekly mini challenges? I think challenges might keep people motivated to stick with it for the whole 10 weeks.

    From what I understand this challenge is for a full year, 365 days. We report, every 10 weeks, our before (start of the year) and after (current weight). So after 10 weeks, the next 10 week segment begins.. so there will be five 10-week segments with an extra 2 weeks in there.

    I intend on making my full goal weight by the end of year, since I started a few months ago.

    I like the idea of having it go all year in 10 week segments.

    I will probably only make the first 2 -10 week segments, but that is because my goal is to reach my GW by the end of the second 10 week set.

    A whole year challenge - wow now I'm really excited!! I've got 80-odd pounds to lose, and I think with this support group, I could really reach my GW by this time next year!! I've been trying and yoyo-ing for the last 4yrs, so really wanna do it this time!

    I agree, mini goals might keep everyone motivated, like five weeks in?

    I agree the idea of mini challenges is what works best for me at least. Just finishing a group that did bi weekly challenges (fitness and health) it keeps you checking in and motivated for goals. Not everyone has to do it, but the ones who want to will be willing to post and keep track of stuff.

    I don't see any reason why a guy couldn't join. :) Welcome!
