Hello ladies,
Would anyone like to join me on a 5 week challenge of losing 7 pounds?

That would take me to a loss of 27 pounds - which is my half way point - and I'm *rewarding* myself with a sun/sea holiday around 23rd April!
I'm in England, I'm 44, and I seem to have settled into a paleo way of eating, (no sugar, wheat or dairy more or less) - which I have found remarkably calming on my digestive system and steadily efficient in terms of taking off the pounds.
Just thought it would be fun to make a few new friends - especially ones who want to be focussed over the next few weeks.
Just send me a friend request. Girls only - sorry fellas.

    I'm up for it! In the UK too, 29 years old. I am a self confessed sugar junkie and have today vowed to myself that I am going cold turkey on chocolate and cleaning up my eating act.
    Nice to meet you!

    I weigh officially once a week on a Wednesday - but I hop on the scales every day to be honest and get very excited at every hint of a downward drift!
    To be honest I don't know how to do this. Would it be better to make a group? I don't know how to do that.
    Do send me a friend request.
    I'll see if I can figure out how the group thing works!

    Ok, so I've set up a group, by this name. Still, if you send me a friend invite I'll friend you and send you an invite to the group.

    I need a competitor and I have 7-8 lbs to lose, but my request would be daily comments. Is this possible for you to reciprocate?

    Hi! Can I join too? I'm in dire need of motivation and support. Can't seem to pull out that sweet tooth of mine.

    I'm up for joining! I'm prepping for a Savage Race and Warrior Dash, both in May so I'm trying to lose around 10 lbs before May 11.

    Add me if you want as well. :)

    I'm in, that sounds like a very doable #. I am in Canada and fighting the snow right now so a little motivation will definitely help.

    I would love to join you as well! I need to cut my sugar... was gluten free for awhile and have fallen off the wagon in the last 2 weeks. Am getting back on it though- I feel so much better without it! Can we also join you on your vacation :)

    I'm in Canada...just found this app yesterday.ahhhh...I see some have used it for yrs. I'm actually trying hard to lose 20lbs,and this site has everything I eat listed so far, cant believe it. I love how at the end it says that if u eat like this u would weigh??? in 5 weeks. Brilliant website/app. I'm not on FB, so for the group idea would it still work? JEN

    Hi
    I'd like to join too. Im doing SW but need the daily input of MFP. It might help to 'unstick' me.

    Hi Everybody - Thanks so much for an amazing response!

    I'm going to try to limit it now - just to include all those who have already got in touch. I think if it gets any bigger it will become to big to be a source of proper encouragement. So if your interest falls above this line, I'll make sure you're invited. If you're just a bit too late....I'm so sorry
