    I'm a brand new member but I'd in. If I could lose a pound a week, I'd be lower than where I want to be but actually more in the "standard" weight . We can do this !!!

    I am definitely in on this challenge. I accept to lose at least 1 lb a week for the next year. I really just need a lot of support and motivation to keep me going. There are days when I just want to give up but every week when I get on that scale and see the numbers going down it keeps me moving on and setting that goal and accomplishing it. I cannot wait to be skinny on my graduation day from the University. It's going to be 2 awesome feats all wrapped up into one.

    On Christmas Day I calculated that if I lose 1 pound a week starting 12-25 than I would reach my EXACT GOAL of 145 on 12-31-13! Pretty cool!!!!!

    1 pound a week is very doable and sustainable! This is not a race, right? I plan to make this a gradual lifestyle change. I started by reducing my processed foods, adding in more fruits and veggies and of course, logging on MFP. I have started walking and will add in weights and jogging and eliptical. And whatever other cardio catches my fancy. :tongue:

    So, WANT TO JOIN MY CHALLENGE? I'm looking to have a strong group of friends to support each other and reach our goals in 2013! FRIEND ME AND THE OTHERS IN THIS THREAD. :flowerforyou:

    Post in this thread when you weigh in and lose your pound for that week. Doesn't matter what your weigh in day is. :-). Encourage others who are struggling!!! Post your plans to adopt a healthy lifestyle... We can all learn from each other!

    Let's do this the RIGHT WAY THIS TIME!!! SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE!!!!!!

    would be awesome to have a weekly tread anyone know how to do it ?

    YES I want to try, I forgot my password lol on my other account so I am starting over new. On my annaversery I was given a Health Coach, who said I had the knowledge but didnt have motivation, so she suggested this place. I started in 7/12 at 333 and when I weighed myself today 308.7. I am on track to your with your challenge. I have type 2 diabetis (since 2004) and asthma (all my life) I did a stupid thing and moved a heavy couch and hurt my back 15 years ago and it reminds me every so often. lol my physical pain in the butt. I am 48 and am going thru menapause lol, horray! But here gose every pound I hate.

    I'm in! My weight is around 159-161 (yeah, lately it's been sporadic, and so has my weigh ins)

    I'm going to commit to weighing in EVERY FRIDAY MORNING.

    By June my goal is to be 135-136 lbs. (:

    Then from there I'll work on the last 10 lbs!

    My body fat is currently 37% :(
