Yes!! Very excited for this group!! I have already lost 10 pounds and 14 inches since the first of the year. I'm currently doing Shaun T's T25 program, the Couch to 5k program every other day, and I'm starting the Little Black Dress challenge tomorrow!!

I need a challenge like this to keep me on track. I love how it is so strict...that's what I need.

Let's get it, people!!

Hi all. I'm Kathy and I'm back to try again. Last month was my first time and I lost out because of no exercise one day. Now that I've hit my first plateau (the same weight for 7 days! Ugh.) I really need the accountability. Thanks for inviting me back!

Hi Ladies!

I'm Christie. I just stumbled on the group challenge while logging my banana this morning! Yay me!

I have lost 43 lbs and counting. I am currently in training to run another half marathon and probably more to come. I welcome the accountability to keep me motivated not only to log my food but to log my runs.

Feel free to add me. I like new friends!

Good Luck Ladies!

I totally added you. Runners unite!! LOL Not that i'm quite the runner you are. Training for a 5k though...it's a start

Hello there!

Sue from COLD MN : )

I have been on MFP for a while but this year I am determined to lose some weight
so I wil lbe accountable and log my food and exercise!
Over 50 , past menupause and a sit at the desk job = gain weight
but no more excuses
I have realized to lose you got to move!

I have never been able to finish this challenge, but I am hoping for Feb. to be different! The rules of this challenge are simple... that simple/strict way is the best way for me to get motivated to do something. I have been doing strict elimination diet the last few months due to having autoimmune disease (SLE/lupus). It's really helping me feel better. Now if only I can follow a routine with my lifestyle in terms of exercise- then I get do this! I'm also a mother of a 17-month old girl and I work full time and her daddy stays home. That makes me spend every second that I can when I am home with my baby... after 8 PM I have time and I could exercise...also the morning before I leave for work... I definitely have options! There's no reason why I can't complete this challenge...I just can't let myself stand in my way

Hi everyone!
I'm kc, I tried this challenge once before and going to do my best to make it through the entire month. I'll be starting Turbo Jam and C25k on Monday. Aiming to drop at least 8lbs in February.
If anyone wants to add me feel free

Hi, second round for me. I got kicked out about mid-way last month ;-) I have some big challenges this month. Both of my kids have birthdays (cake) and I'll be making a trip home to visit Mom. My daily goal is at least 10K steps and burn 500cals more than I eat each day. I wear a BodyMedia armband, so I can keep track of how much I can eat and still make my goal.

ps I hope I do this right when I reply to the group
if not someone let me know : )

Hello everyone!

I'm Kaytee. I saw this challenge a long time ago, but had only discovered it half way through a month. Then forgot about it and myfitnesspal for awhile. So now I'm looking forward to the challenge.

Over January, I had really strong intentions to do my best, but got sidetracked by stress and lack of self control. I'm hoping this group will really help me stay strong and motivated.

WELCOME!! Caradae has also set up a practice topic for today. Look for it in the discussions!! WE ARE ALL SO WORTH THIS CHALLENGE!! Get up and Move & Lose!!

Hi, I am gus. I am ever grateful that caradae decided to start this group. So far I have lost over 50 pounds since I joined in August.

I won in August, September and October; lost in November and December; and (looking good) won in January. The challenge is the best way for me to lose weight because I am accountable every day. Although they are not part of this challenge, my loss has inspired my husband and my son to join MFP and each has lost 12 pounds. Good for them!

It is a pleasure to see so many familiar names in this challenge. I wish everyone success. You can do it.

Hi,

I'm Kerry-Ann. I think this is the strictness I need to keep on track. Otherwise, I generally rely on my moods. I really want to see how I thrive with this challenge.

Hi, I'm Kerry. I am new to groups and to challenges in general, but hope to change that this month! Judy, thanks for the post suggesting this challenge!

Hello everyone! I am Barbara. I live in Jacksonville, FL but was born and raise in Bealeton, VA. This will be my second month in a UA Challenge. Last year, I was in a "Down to Size" Challenge at work to help prevent Type 2 Diabetes. I was able to lose 33.4 lbs with that challenge. While participating in that challenge, I have quite smoking....with that, I gained a little bit back....but I am losing again. I like to set mini goals for myself, so right now my mini goal is to weigh less than 185 lbs. I am very proud of myself for sticking with this challenge all last month. Hopefully I can do better this month! Welcome to the group newbie's and welcome back to the veteran's!!! I hope you all enjoy this challenge as much as I do!!!!
