    I would love to become part of this challenge... I am definitely scared because I want to be successful and haven't been to successful at weight loss... but here goes nothing

    GW 210

    I'm sure A LOT of us have been unsuccessful at weight loss, that's why we're all here. Be encouraged, you can do anything you put your mind to. Send out a few friend requests; I can tell you, seeing their progress in your news feed (i.e. how many calories they burned, how many days they've logged in in a row, how many pounds lost) is all the incentive you will need. It makes you want to keep up with everyone else.

    Best wishes to you on your weight loss goals. I'm sure you will do great!
    Thank You although I'm still new it has been encouraging to see all the results I just got to keep at it

    Following on from the dates Yana set for the challenge I believe I set mine as 204 for Feb 21.
    Unfortunately I have not met it but i'm OK with that because I finally managed to undo my birthday damage and get back down to 217 today so i'm looking forward to seeing the scale continue going down and the ticker change.

    Welcome to all new members hope you find the motivation and support you need. :smile:

    I NEVER post this early in the morning, mainly because I'm rushing trying to get ready for work, BUT....this is the first official weigh in day, and surprisingly, I'm down 1 pound, after having weighed in only 3 days ago: my regular day which is Mondays! Now I will note that on Monday when I weighed in, I felt a little bloated, so this pound was probably lingering from Monday's weigh in. Nevertheless, I'm stoked!!

    I didn't add this pound loss to my tracker because I want to see what the total loss is on next Monday.

    Weigh in date goals:

    Feb 21 : 177.5 (I'm .5 pounds over this goal! :tongue: )
    Apr 21: 160

    Keep pushing forward ladies!
