Hey guys!
I am excited about starting this challenge, specifically because I know a lot of people, like yourself, can use some encouragement to move forward with your weight loss. And as you already know, the person with the most weight loss within a week, will recieve recognition for his or her accomplishment and maybe something extra!!
)
*Do not go to the extreme with your diets - please eat a minimum of 1200 calories per day; eat, don't starve.
Introduce yourselves here so that everyone will know who they are competing against.....LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

Hi, my name is Stacey, I have been doing a Biggest Loser with Ramstein AB, Germany for the past 2 weeks and just started week 3 today. I workout 6 days a week for 2 hours a day. Last week I lost 6Lbs. I am excited for this coming week to see how well I do. I know this is hard but I know we all can do it. I am a single Mom of 5 yo and 4 yo and full time student and Active Duty Military member and finding the time to workout seems like a struggle most days, but I am pushing through and getting it done. Good Luck everyone!0

Hi there. I really need some NEW motivation. I have really great MFP friends, but I need something different. I get bored easy and have trouble with consistency for long periods of time. Lots of shorter challenges really help me. I recently lost about 10 pounds at my job when they held a biggest loser challenge there. I won 3rd place. Now that it is over, I am back to my old ways. It would be fun to have friends to compete against like this. I am going to give it a go. I will weigh in the morning. I am sure I am about 210. I have learned over time that I need to lose fairly slowly. We will see. I want good health most of all above anything. So glad I did not miss the start date.
God Bless. Post tomorrow.

Hey everyone! I'm Julianne, 25 with about 40 lbs to lose. I just joined MFP today, so im already behind on your challenge. What does your diet look like? I'll take any advice! I'm training myself to eat more vegetables & watch portions. I've been at it for a week and its a challenge everyday. I plan to work out 5-6 days a week jogging, step aerobics & zumba.
Good luck to everyone!0 -
Hi everyone I'm Nadziega! I'm a junior in college and within the past 2 years I have gained about 150 lbs, and I'm planning to lose them by my senior year. Working out is not really a challenge for me, but eating correctly is. With work, school, and parties my eating habits are all over the place, but this week I managed to eat healthier. I'm looking forward our first weigh-in.0

im new to this. What do i do.0

@Monica....Hey hun welcome to the group. You just need to weigh yourself tomorrow before midnight (Sunday 1/20/2013) and post it under weigh in in the forum (your current starting weight). And then you just exercise and eat healthy for the rest of the week. Next Sunday everyone weighs in again Hope this helps.
@nadziega...Welcome, glad you could join us...I have trouble with eating too, its all about protion size and avoid indulging things you crave. I chew gum for my sweet tooth thats good progress you were able to eat helathy all this week, I know what its like to attend parties and such lol good job. Good luck this week
@Juliluv87....heywelcome to the group...you are not behind we just opened the group today and the weigh isn't until tomorrow (Sunday, 1/20/2013)...my diet consists of lean proteins (turkey, chicken, fish) and fruits and vegetables...I love bread but I try to cut back on it...just be sure to keep log of your food so you can keep track of what you're putting into your body....good workout choices, I love zumba good luck this week! 0 -
Hello, I'm excited to have some support and to talk about and celebrate getting healthy. My goal is to not look horrible in my DL renewal picture come April and to also shed 30lbs before I climb 69 floors of stairs at the end March for charity.... I am currently down 10lbs from starting 1/7, but have been doing well, but today has been a challenge for me... I'm in for a challenge... thanks for setting up the group.0

hey there! i'd love to join. I'm starting at 179.9 and don't want to get over 180. it took me s o long to get down from there before. so that's my goal. i want to get under 170 cuz i don't remember ever being there...maybe since like age 13... so...that's where i'm at. Eventually i'd like to get down to 140. but this is the short term.
I'd like to lose 3 pounds a week for the first two weeks, and then it'll slow i'm sure
anywho! good luck to everyone!0 -
Hello Everyone!
I'm trying to get more motivation out this whole MFP thing... I've been tracking on here on and off for about a year but don't really have any friends to help keep me motivated and hold me accountable... and it is really hard doing it at home alone when married to a man that can eat everything in the pantry and lose weight. I'm hoping that joining a group will help me stay motivated to lose these 75ish pounds. Let's do this, I'm ready! :-)0 -
Hey guys I'm jessika my story is I had weight loss surgery years ago(Lapband) lost 100lbs and was 181 at my lowest but still didn't reach my goal I got preggers and am now 235 :-( its really hard getting back on track eating right and excersing I've been trying but not much luck so my goal is to really get some fire under my *kitten* and lose this weight and work out more I want to lose 2-3lbs a week ..0

Hey...I'm IN...love the show-well now that Jillian is back-and would love the motivation!!
I am 30, live in Canada and have a structured eating regime half the time...I work at a mining camp for 2 weeks in and have all food prepped and cooked for me...SO I just pick the healthy stuff! Then I get 2 weeks off and its a different story...I lost 45 pounds a little while back on a different program using 'points' and it was great then I met my love and gained back 30...My goal is to lose 40 pounds overall (I wasn't finished that first time). I'd like to lose 25 of those pounds by summer, so I can fit my awesome summer wardrobe from 2 summers ago.
I just started exploring Paleo/Primal eating and am liking it so far. I leave camp this coming Wednesday and am heading across the courntry to my in-laws...SO a huge test, as I don't stock their fridge...:) Thanks for starting this!0 -
I'm in!
I, too, have trouble being consistent for long periods of time and I'm always looking for a new challenge to help keep me motivated!
I'm looking to lose 2lbs this week.
It would be best to do the "winner" by weight loss percentage
To calculate Weight loss percentage:
1. Original Weight minus Current Weight
2. Now divide your answer by your Original Weight then multiply by 100
Example: 145lbs - 130lbs = 15lbs then (15/145) x 100 = 10%0 -
Hello everyone who just posted in the group, welcome to the challenge! I would call your names one by one, but its so many of you guys lol I read your stories and I hope that this challenge will give each of you motivation not to give up. I feel honored to have created this group and looking forwards to this weeks weigh-ins and results
@sherrirb...thanks for the information on percentage weight loss, I planned on doing that
FYI if you need a friend for support, feel free to add me!0 -
I'm in! I'll weigh myself tomorrow so that you'll know my starting weight. I've been on MFP a long time. I lost as much as 68 lbs and then I've gained 50 lbs back last year. I've declared this my last fat year. I'm tired of gaining and losing the same 50 lbs. My goal is to lose 100 lbs and keep it off! I've been obese for 10 years now and I'm ready for it to end.
I don't know how long the challenge is OR what we're be doing....but I will give it 100% or more! I'm just ready to make a change this year!0 -
hi everyone
So i've always been o the large side of life and last year I really got into MFP, i only managed to lose 6kg (13lbs) but to me that was amazing, I was so proud of my self, this year I'm looking to lose at least 100 pounds so this challenge will be great for me, I've never been one to finish something because my biggest enemy is myself, I argue and procrastinate with my self too much. but now at the age of 21 and weighing in at 202lbs i want to say good bye to my fat years and hello to my new life style!!! LETS DO THIS!!!0 -
I am trying to lose a pound a week. I have lost 18 pounds so far. I am ready to try to challenge myself to do better. I am 5 ' 0" so my calorie limit is 1200. It is very easy to go over that low number. I am trying to make sure that I always have a net calorie of less than the 1200 and hopefully less than 1000. I have been using a stationary bike for exercise. Let the games begin.0

Hi all,
I'm 48, 5'5" and last Sunday I weighed 241.2lbs. I got divorced 5 yrs ago and depression resulted in me gaining about 60lbs. I have recently moved to Las Vegas and things have completely turned around for me, I have a new lease on life, this includes wanting to lose weight and feel healthy again. I am 100% into this journey, I am using MFP and a body media band, I am going to the gym 4-5 times a week.. Lets get this done. Oh my biggest inspiration is my Daughter (Thementes) will post my weight loss tomorrow, hoping for at least 3lbs. Good Luck everyone!0 -
I have been overweight pretty much all of my life. I have stopped drinking soda and am trying to start eating healthier. I would like to get down to about 150. I recently bought a stationary bike so that I can exercise inside because my neighborhood isn't the safest. I think this challenge would help me with losing some weight because I would be more motivated.0

Hey all ! I just joined today, I am super excited and pumped for the week. Although, I will need all the motivation I can get since I will be doing this on my own. My husband and kids won't be joining me...sad face. Curious to know where everybody is from, I'm from South Africa. Let's do this THING !!0
