Hi! This group will officially begin on Thursday, October 10, 2013 and will have weekly challenges and weigh-ins. It is meant to be a fun and encouraging group that will help you with your weight loss goals.

Please take a moment to introduce yourself and your goals that you would like to achieve.

Here's my intro :smile:

My name is Christie and I am 36. I have been with MyFitnessPal since the beginning of this year and I love it. I have another 20 lbs to go and have plateaued. I have found that these types of groups really work for me and hold me accountable. I'm excited to be hosting my first group so please be patient :wink:

    Hi I'm Liz. Have been dabbling with MFP for awhile now. I just joined a Biggest Winner Weight Loss challenge at my local Y again and am really hoping to succeed this time. I ultimately want to loose 50lbs - which can seem so overwhelming. Any support and encouragement I receive will certainly help me. Working hard to eat right and attempting to get back into a workout routine (knee issues limit what I can do)

    Can't wait to share encouragement and tips as we tackle this together

    Hello everyone,

    My name is Christine. I am 44 years young!! I started using MFP early this year (January or February) but really "started" using MFP in March. I was amazed to see just how many calories I was acutally taking in at first. I had no idea! I have since lost around 30 pounds and I have hit a plateau. My goal is to lose another 50 pounds or more, but in a healthy way.

    I was previously in some other groups that gave weekly challenges and weigh in's and those groups really helped me to keep on track!! I also just started a women's group that focuses on overall health, it includes a weekly meeting with exercise and discussion groups. I am hoping that doing both of these at the same time will get me back on the losing track.

    I look forward to working with everyone and good luck on your own personal goals!!

    Hi, I'm Katherine. I've been on MFP for a couple of months now. My ultimate goal is to lose 109lbs. So far I've lost 21. I really want to be healthy and a good example for my kids. I try to work out at least 3 times a week and eat right. I hired a trainer to work out with so that he could hold me accountable. I think this group will be a great way to stay encouraged and help keep me focused and on track.

    Hello everyone!

    My name is Marsha and I am 55 years old. I have been struggling with my weight since I had my first child nearly 28 years ago...and until this year, my weight was winning. I joined MFP a few years ago, but never really used it right...didn't read the forums, didn't make friends...I didn't even realize these options were available until this time around.

    This time around began at the beginning of this year, and this time around I am winning!

    I love challenges and I'm up for this one! I have just over 50 lbs. to go to reach my goal weight, but would like to reach 174 lbs. by the end of this challenge. If I do, I will reach the second milestone of this journey because it would take my BMI out of the obese range...and into the overweight range...and that will make me very happy!
    :happy:

    My name is Holly and I am 24 year's old. I did a great job losing weight with weight watchers at the beginning of the year. unfortunately, I gained it all back plus some. :-( Now i'm trying to start losing again. i just need motivation and accountability to keep going. I am currently 190 lbs and would eventually like to get down to 150 lbs. My goal for the month is to lose 4-5 pounds. I can easily put on weight but taking it off is a pound by pound activity. Every pound is motivation for the next one!

    Hi everyone. I am 46 years old and have carried around an extra 20 lbs for the past 5 years. This past year I unfortunately added 10 lbs to that so now have a goal of losing 30lbs. I am not in a rush, I just want to get back to feeling good in my clothes and having more energy. I really like the idea of this type of group. It's great to hear from like minded people. Looking forward to the coming weeks.

    Hi! My name is Ellie, I just turned 28. I have been on MFP for some time now, however I have not been on since May this year and I can tell. I have only gained 5 pounds on the scale but the inches have crept on all over. My goal is to drop a total of 10 inches from my entire body (hoping 1" on each arm, 2" on each thigh, 3" around stomach, and 1" around chest"). I don't want to base my goal off the scale because I know that muscle weights takes up less space than fat but I could actually gain weight because of muscle mass.

    I am so excited for this, I need to stay committed and being apart of a community and group like this will help me!!!!

    I've done MFP since the beginning of 2013, I lost 25 lbs doing weight watchers and then got stuck.When I started to doing MFP the weight started to fall off. I lost another 30 with MFP. But with difficulties this year in some health issues I have gained all that I lost using MFP.When I care about counting calories and taking care of me, I start losing weight again. To have the accountability and encouraging of others and I would offer the same to others. My name is Pamela and my goal is to first start with the 30 lbs that I have gained in the pasr 2 months

    Hi I'm MaryFran, a 40 year old from Maryland. I'm married with no kids and have already lost just shy of 100 pounds. I have at least 40 to go to get to the high end of where my Doctor recommended my weight to be at...but about 55 pounds to get to a 'healthy weight' as defined by the Body Mass Index charts. Accountability, support and a good challenge is what I need!

    Add me if you want a one on one buddy also! :-)

    Hi everyone! I'm Priyanka. I've been trying to lose weight since February. I started out really well but I've been on and off for months now. I want to get back up on the horse and stay there! I need to start making better decisions now and I hope this group will help me to do that effectively. I haven't weighed in yet but I started at 159. I'm now around 143-145. I want to get to 125 :)
