losing it for good challenge

Can I join your challenge? I am also trying to lose about 12lbs by August...so maybe we can encourage and support eachother!! I'll weigh myself tonight to get an official starting weight! :happy:

You can certainly count me in for support.. and weigh ins !! Anything that can help keep me going and motivated during this new lifetime journey! I know it sounds silly.. But I just want to be "myself".. :happy: I know that it's my inner me.. dying to get out.

At least if I'm trying to lose 12lbs by August, I won't gain any :bigsmile:

I weigh in at 151...so my new goal is 139 by august 1st!!!
Thats amazing that youve worked out 5 days this week already! Im a little jealous.
I know what you mean about going out to dinner...Ive become a little obsessed about checking the calories in restaurant food before I actually go out, so I know what I can have and what I should stay away from. lol
I found that if I only weigh myself every other or every 3rd week it helps me stay focused and doesnt discourage me when I see I gained a pound or only lost one when I was hoping to lose 2. I have also decided to reward myself for every five pounds I lose...like a new top, or sunglasses lol
How are the morning star burgers? I have yet to try them, but Ive heard a lot about them.

Can I join too? I would like to lose 9 pounds by the end of July. My goal is a little different but my motives are the same :bigsmile:

obviously i have screwed up big time on the weight ticker.. what did I do wrong and how do I change it? Help.. lol thanks

this might help with your ticker. it is copied from the Help section.
It might help to print it out first.
hope that's helpful!

How do I add a ticker to my forum signature?

A. Here's a quick explanation of how to add a weight loss ticker to your forum signature:

1. First, click on the "Tools" tab, then click on "Tickers" in the light blue bar below the tabs to reach the section of the site where you can create your ticker.

2. Follow the steps to create your ticker. They should (hopefully) be self-explanatory.

3. When your ticker has been completed, you'll be shown two boxes with code in them to display your ticker. Click on the box on the left (BBCode) - this is the code you need to use on the MyFitnessPal message boards. Highlight all of the code in that box (most browsers will do this automatically once you click on the box). If the code is not all highlighted, you can right-click on the box and choose "Select All"

4. Once you have highlighted all of the code, right click on the code and choose "Copy."

5. Now click on the "My Home" tab, then click "Settings" in the light blue bar below the tabs, and finally, click on the "Change forum signature" link.

6. Right-click in the box where you can type your forum signature and choose "Paste."

7. Finally, click "Save Changes."

Once you've saved your new forum signature, every post you've ever made should now display your ticker at the bottom of it. You don't need to create a new post to test your ticker - just look at any previous post, and the ticker will be displayed there if you've followed the steps properly.

Hi guys! I've weighed in at 234.. I'm hoping to get to 220 by August. I'll just do what I can tho . It's nice to have such encouraging people around here Such a HUGE motivator. I have a longer road than most of you.. but I'm willing to stick to it! Thanks for all of your support.
