    Yay!

    Starting weight: 264lbs

    Biggest Problem: Staying motivated. I will be awesome for about a week, then its right back to old habits of picking up fast food because I don't feel like cooking etc.

    I'm hoping this time I can keep a better pace. I also joined 3 bets on dietbet.com, so if I don't lose 10lbs by the end of February I'm out $40!! Hoping that will be motivation too! lol

    Hooray!

    Starting weight for the challenge: 228.5

    Biggest problem: Cooking dinner. I'm usually tired after work and don't feel like cooking, so we end up eating out. Also finding motivation to exercise is a big one too.

    Starting weight 169
    Goal weight 150
    Biggest problem: I have a 7 month old son who is not sleeping through the night yet and naps are iffy..so finding a regular time to work out is tricky. I am also breastfeeding...so reducing calories at this point isn't an option.

    I started one of these last night, and now we have 2 postcard challenges running. If you don't mind, could we merge boards? This was the link to our board: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/860748-postcard-challenge-1-21-2-4?page=1#posts-12952411

    Can you just get all of our starting weights from there? If not, I can PM each member (there's not many right now) and ask them to post it here.

    Anyway, I'll be joining this one.


    Starting weight: 170.6 (my goal weight for this challenge is 169.1 (a 1.5 pound loss).

    Problems: Keeping my sodium in check. I live in the dorms at college, and even the healthy stuff in the dining halls is FILLED with sodium. Also, drinking enough water.

    I'm in!

    Starting weight on 1/21/13: 176.6

    Problems: I eat a mostly vegetarian diet during the week so I'm looking to add more protein- less fruit. I also like to drink wine on the weekend and that's a hard habit for me to break.

    Count me in. I just started using MFP 2 days ago, but I want to keep it up.
    Starting weight: 192 on 1/21
    Goal weight: 180

    Biggest problem: I eat good stuff, but I eat too much of it. Portion control is my goal.

    Totally in!! I love this idea.

    Starting Weight: 173.9
    Goal Weight (for the time frame anyway): 169.5

    I am hoping to keep my meals and daily reports more even when it comes to nutrients as well as keep with my C25K and 30DDS! Not to mention the problem of the wasted calories (I am not very willing to get rid of my beer)!

    Good Luck and Happy Losing!

    I'm in! Starting weight 202.6. My goal overall is to get to the 160s. My biggest challenge is time. As a mother, wife, teacher, and coach my time is extremely limited.

    I'm in! My weight yesterday was 160.2 lbs though that seemed a little too light to be realistic! My overall goal is just to be classed as a healthy weight, so that would be 132 lbs. My biggest challenge is when I'm not in charge of the food, such as eating out, or when my mum comes to stay and takes over my kitchen. See you next Monday!

    I went down then back up again because of Salty food! :explode: I know it will go back down quicker because its water retention but I'm still mad, I want the other number back!
