Group Challenge Starting 11-01-2013

Hello. I am thinking about starting a group challenge. I'd like to get about 10 really dedicated people to participate. I'll make us a group page and a spreadsheet for each month. We would have weekly nutrition and exercise challenges.

I keep joining challenges only to have people drop out or shut the group down due to lack of response. I would like to find a dedicated group of people that would like to keep this going long term.

If you are interested please let me know.

    I joined MFP at the beginning of July and lost 20 lbs in my first 12 weeks. Hit a plateau so decided to consciously use October as a maintenance month and let my body "reset". Now I am looking for a group challenge from November 1st to January 1st and my goal is to lose 15 lbs over 8 1/2 weeks. Count me in. :happy:

    Count me in, anything to lose at least 10 pounds between now and Christmas would be a blessing.

    Great! I will get the group page made and invites sent out. I already have the spreadsheets started.

    Yes, I'd be very interested in joining the challenge. I joined a promising-sounding challenge earlier this year but it fizzled out and only 2 of us finished the 3 month challenge! Even the person who started it gave up after 2 weeks. That's not the sort of motivation I need. If I say I'm doing something, I do it but I'd like to have the mutual support of others.

    I've lost 10kg and would like to lose another 12kg, maybe a bit less. I do a lot of gardening, I swim and walk. I live in the countryside in France

    I'm also interested in joining!!!
  • Me too! I also just joined a challenge through my corporate gym (including weekly weigh-ins), so I definitely plan to stick with it.

    If it is not too late or if you haven't closed the group, I would like to join. Have participated and completed two challenges - one in August and another in September. Need to get back to being more accountable in my exercise program. Let me know!! Thanks.

    The more the merrier right? I also have been part of groups that have dwindled until only me and one other person were left. I have also been part of a group where the fearless leader quit! I love challenges and would love to be a part of this group.

    I could really love to be part of this challenge! I used to do weight watchers years back & did really well...I've not been doing as well on my own. I need the accountability!
  • I've never joined a group on here. This would be my first. I'm down.

    I hope everyone's motivated!

    Room for one more? I've been slacking for about six weeks now and need something to get me off my butt. Haven't done too badly weight-wise considering how lazy I've been. But with the holiday season coming up fast, it's really time to get back on track. Time to stop with the excuses and get my mojo back. Thank you!
