    Wow! This is so awesome! There are so many of us. This is my first time running a group like this. I'm learning as I go, so bear with me please.

    Every evening, I will post a new topic for the following day for each day of the challenge. For example, tonight I'll post "Pre Challenge Day -10" (-10 because it's 10 days before June 1st). If you don't want to start the challenge until June 1st, you can wait until then. We can post how we did the day before; if we were under our daily calorie count; if we were over our daily calorie count; how much we exercised; what we plan on accomplishing for the day; encouraging comments for each other...

    Once a week, probably on Mondays, I'll post a weekly challenge for us all to try to do.

    Every Saturday, I'll start a new topic called "Weekly Weight In' or something like that, and then we can all post our weight loss.

    If anyone has any other ideas for us, feel free to share them here.

    I'm in! I also have an end-of-June vacation coming up that'll be lots of walking and a lot of swimsuit action. I want to be as ready as I can for it.

    Wonderful-this is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thanks for setting it up! I'm looking forward to your daily posts! 1lb/week is perfect for me... I'm a short one at under 5'2". I've gone from 135-117 and am beginning to get really lazy about checking in with myself. I'd like to lose another 5lbs, so 1lb per week could get me there with this challenge! Woohoo! I'm hoping to find a 30 day challenge twin so everyone keep posting your height and weight!! Good vibes for the day to you all!

    Count me in! During my first venture with FP I had amazing results in lowering my cholesterol, triglycerids, and A-1C test for diabetes in just six weeks. Lack of consistency and persistence have always been my downfall. I'm pretty sure a 30-day challenge is doable. One pound a week for me, too! Saturdays sounds good. Thanks for getting this started.
  • Challenge Accepted! This is my first day with MFP so im still trying to navigate the site. My weight loss goal is 2 lbs per week since I have so much to lose. I will post my progress on Sat.

    I am slightly confused looking at the premotivator challenges. Is it something like everyone does their own challenge and report at the end of the day.

    I thought it will be a single challenge which we all will try to achieve on a daily basis (as a team) and encourage and support each other.

    If every one are working on different objectives, it is easy to get demotivated and the plan will not be a success. What is your thoughts?

    Diana, please can you give us a hint as to what you have in mind for June challenge

    I created this group with the idea that we could all set our own goals. We can post them on here and share our progress in the hopes that seeing everybody else's posts will encourage and motivate us all to keep going. My plan is to create a new "TOPIC" each day and we will each comment in the topic our progress from the day before and what our goals are for that day. The current day's "TOPIC" will have a red pin next to it so everyone knows which day is the current day. Starting tomorrow, I'll also include the date in the topic title to make it easier for everyone. I also plan on posting weekly challenges every Monday. Every Saturday I'll start a new topic titled "WEEKLY WEIGH IN" where we will all post our weight loss. The challenge will be to record our daily calorie count EVERYDAY; to exercise AT LEAST 30 minutes for 4 days a week and to post our weight loss every week.

    I like your idea of a single challenge that we all try to achieve on a daily basis. I'm not too sure how that would work because we are all in different stages and we each enjoy exercising in different ways but I'd love to hear some of your ideas.

    Well, I'm off to go ride my bicycle. I'll be back in a few hours.

    Challenge accepted! A 30 day challenge is just what I need! One of my personal goals is to burn 1000+ calories a day thru exercise and weight lifting, and keep my calorie intake below 2000 calories a day. I'm laid off so I have the time, I just have a problem with motivation. When I'm working I easily burn twice that during the day (I'm a construction laborer). I need an accountability buddy who has goals and needs a buddy too.

    Ok I'm in - I already do this - fill in my food diary daily, complete 30 mins exercise (walking), so I would like extra challenges.

    I've signed up to the squat challenge.

    Anything else anyone is doing? I think by setting challenges we motivate each other.

    The squat challenge is rough, I'm on my last 3 days! I've also been doing the 30 day plank challenge have another week of that, and will probably start back up again. A few times a week I post daily challenges on my wall, it's part of another group I'm in but everyone is welcome to join in. Last week we did who can do the most push ups, overhead extensions, etc. Makes it interesting.

    OK guys I had signed up for this too but was involved in a bad road traffic accident yesterday (I'm OK) but I am going to bail now personally. Wish everyone all the success in the world, will still continue with the food diary and dieting but may be a while until I can hit the gym or pool. Good luck everybody. I know you can do it :-)

    Thanks Diane, very close shave with death :-( Just cos I won't be participating doesn't mean to say that I won't be keeping an eye on you guys ha ha. Think of me as your armchair coach :-)

    I think this is an excellent idea well done you :-) Weigh day tomorrow for me since I started last Monday so will post my results tomorrow.

    Good luck everyone, you know you can do it!!!

    I am back in the mode of losing inches and not scale weight. I have been attending a toning class w/weights. I know by the way my clothes fit that I am shrinking but also building muscle mass back. My weight loss may not show in pounds!

    Hi! I had actually thought of a very similar challenge to begin today (daily food log, 30 min exercise per day, plenty of water) so I would love to join you and share our results!!
