Hey guys,

I am so ready to kick my weight loss in the rear... Since the beginning of 2013 I have been stuck in the stinkin 250's and I am ready to kick this and get lower... This challenge will last 10 weeks with official weigh in's this week and final weigh in's the week of labor day.. I will open them up for you to weigh in any day of the week. The weeks will start on Sunday and end Saturday. If you have a normal weigh day that is A-OK with us... The main thing I want to teach and learn through this is to live the weight loss journey with out having to sacrifice EVERYTHING...

I weigh in on FRIDAY so I will post my info then.. Once the starting weights are entered I will create/update my spreadsheet and post in the a forum.....

Let the Challenge BEGIN..

    Hi,
    Ok I am in. I just joined myfitnesspal yesterday So what do I need to do. Friday is ok for weighing in but I am thinking Monday may be better for me it will keep me honest over the weekend :) . But if you want us all weighing in on Friday that works.

    So what do we do? Will our starting weight remain between the participants?
    Is there a way to have our status reports show?


    Thanks for organizing the group.

    These are great questions.. You can weigh in what ever day you prefer... I know for me I like weighing in on Friday bc it keeps me strong during the week.. What ever day you think will work best for your weight loss journey is fine to use..

    I normally keep the weights between group participants.. I will have a spreadsheet but only the group members will have the link...

    Please let me know if you have any questions and I will be happy to help.. Welcome to the challenge. Glad to have you aboard my journey to becoming healthy :)

    I'm in for this challenge. I think sharing with a groups will help me be more aware of what I'm doing.

    My question is since I weigh on Sunday's would I start this with what I weighed on Sunday the 10th or wait and use what I weigh on the 17th? You say the weeks will start on Sunday and end on Saturday so I was just curious how this will work.

    I had a tough time deciding my goal weight for this. As I get closer to my weight goal the loss has slowed down. Plus I have a weeks vacation plus a week at my daughter's in April. Couldnt decide between 5 and 10 so I will split the difference for 7.5 lbs.

    Startin weight, March 15 174.4 lbs
    Goal Weight, Memorial day 167 lbs

    Hi Everyone!
    I'm totally in. I weigh myself every Sunday. It seems to keep me honest thru the weekends. My starting weight is 280 and my goal is 180 obviously not by Memoria Day but it's where I want to be. I hope to lose 10 to 15 pounds by Memoria Day. Good luck everyone!

    I just put in my final weight for the St. Patty's challenge. I didn't meet my goal but i did lose a total of 7lbs in those 4 short weeks :)

    My starting weight for this challenge is 140.4 and I hope to be 125 by Memorial Day :) That will put me at the weight I wanted to achieve when I joined this site... But I won't stop there :)
