The last two groups that I joined disappeared without any warning or notice. I need the motivation of a group challenge to keep me going. I am two steps away from calling it quits. This may sound extremely selfish but I need you all to get me through this.

I am brand new and 50 lbs over weight and need support and a challenge0

I have been here for over a year. I am down 30 pounds since I started. 40 pounds overall. I want to lose about 20 more but my doctor would rather I lose 35 more. But lately my motivation has been gone. I don't know how to get it back. I figured a group challenge would help me get back in the swing of things.0

I'm in! Active member for 1.5 weeks. Looking to lose 50+ lbs the old fashion way, eating very healthy and exercising. Fist time joining a challenge, so how do they work?0

Hey Nikki - like you I have gotten so discouraged by joining groups that start up hot and heavy and then after about 2 weeks even the person that started the group never checks in or post anything and no one responds to your post so you feel like you are just talking to yourself.
I want to be in a group that WANTS to work together as a group to support and encourage each other. I will be 49 years old next month, have another 25 pounds to lose and I know that I can do it having some friends along for the journey. Having to lose weight sucks, why not try and have a little fun doing it!!0 -
Hi all- just getting remotivated and could use all the support I can get! My doc just told me I have 90 days to get my cholesterol down or I need meds. That has me freaked out enough that I came home last night and threw out all the junk from the closet that tempts me.Now that my daughter went back to college this past weekend and we are back to the empty nest , hubbie and I can't use the ,"I bought it for the kids !" excuse anymore.
I just loaded a countdown app on my phone set to 90 days and figure seeing the number of days I have left will help me stay focused . I did my best when I was connected to an online group a few years ago and would love to have a committed group to keep me honest.0 -
Hi all, i've been doing WW for the last year but i have lost my way I have lost 35lbs but still have a way to go and I am going totally off track. I have decide to shake things up a bit and start tracking with MFP, I could really use some group support and would definately like at least another stone off before christmas!0

I'm in too - I just realized it's August already and I haven't lost any weight this whole summer. I need to get busy!!! I'd like to lose around 15 lbs but stress always gets in the way of a good plan. So I need support from my MFP friends

Challenge groups are here for individuals to obtain support, accountability and motivation from fellow challengers as well as the individual who started the group. We discuss struggles, victories and do not critique or criticize one another only positive feedback and motivation. If you have anymore questions feel free to send me a message. Challenge groups have been proven effective for individuals reaching their fitness and health goals. Personally if it wasn't for the challenge group i participated in a few months ago I never would of made it through completing the insanity program. When I didn't feel I could go on, the positive motivation I received enabled me to reach my goals. I'm happy to have you on board. 0

Awesome!! Glad to have you aboard!0

Ok. Im in!! I have lost a total of 60 lbs .. doing WW my lowest was 160.. I was happy there (hungry but happy) it has crept up to 176 just because I was tired of sweating out my hair and was way too lazy to cook. Needless to say I'M BACK!!!My goal is to get to 162.. so about 15 pounds must leave me!!
??? how is this going to work? are we just checking in or are you ( Nikki) going to post challenges for us? LMK0 -
Hi! I posted a new topic regarding how the challenge is going to work. Welcome aboard and I look forward to working with and getting to know you during the challenge.0

I'm all in! I NEED THIS, I've been so off my game for the summer months and I definitely want to look fabulous for the holidays. I have about 25 lbs I need to lose before then (anything close to that would be awesome), so I need the motivation. Keep us posted on how this works.
Thanks!0 -
I am just going to say that I love all of you right now. LisaMfit4life for starting this group and all the rest of you for the support that you have already given. This is going to be the best challenge I have joined.0

I am in!! I have about 15 - 20 pounds to lose and cannot seem to do it! I am pretty much maintaining as I run 3 miles 3-4 times a week but I continue to eat whatever I want which I know is something I need to work on! Plus, I am 43 years old and it is definitely harder to lose and much easier to gain! I have 2 boys, 12 and 13 who keep us very busy running them around for all of their sports and we tend to eat out a lot! I need all the support I can get and love to help others with support! Friend me if you would like!0

We eat out a lot too. But I truly hate to cook. I do it because I know that it is healthier and cheaper but if I can manage it money wise I will eat out. If I ever get rich I am going to have a few personal chefs on hand at all times. LOL!0 -
Congrats on your weight loss! I can certainly empathize with joining a group that vanishes... I'm hopeful that this group can stick together for the next few weeks! It seems like everyone here is extremely motivated.The last two groups that I joined disappeared without any warning or notice. I need the motivation of a group challenge to keep me going. I am two steps away from calling it quits. This may sound extremely selfish but I need you all to get me through this.0 -
Hi all!
I'm in for the challenge too. Little background....I'm 57, 5'6", pear shape. I never had a weight problem until menopause in my mid-40's. Over these past 10 years....I've gained the weight, lost the weight, gained it, lost it....at least 5 times if not more. I don't seem to have a problem losing weight, it's keeping it off that I fail at. I started back here on mfp in early May this year at 212.3. Yikes. Today I weighed in at 175.6. Not bad for 14 weeks of working at it. And yes....it was a lot of work! Thing is, in the past, I usually get lazy around week 14-15.....and slowly the weight starts to creep back on until I find myself right back to where I started. By lazy, I mean I start eating like I did when I was in my 20's and 30's and could eat anything and everything I wanted and never gain a pound. Obviously I can't do that anymore. So, this challenge is starting at just about the right time for me. I'm hoping it will help keep me motivated as I continue to watch portion sizes and make healthy choices with what I eat....and if I continue to work out at least 5 times a week, that should really help firm up my body.
Looking forward to getting fit with all of you.....
