Can you LOSE 50+ pounds by July 1st? CHALLENGE!!!

Where is the chart going to be? On here or somewhere else?

****Please everyone read. We have been getting a lot of comments from people asking to join the group after January 1st. Which I am so super excited about. I know many group leaders often restrict their groups to 15-20 people because the less people the easier it is to track the weight loss in the charts. The more people it does take longer to make the chart, HOWEVER, I do not want to turn anyone away! So this is what we will do if everyone is ok with this, in the begining I said if you miss two weeks in a row of weigh in, we will remove your name. Instead whoever wants to join, they can at anytime, if anyone misses one week of weigh in I will remove your name. Please be here every Saturday. However, circumstances happen, and many of us do not have this app on our phones and can't be at the internet everyday. If you miss weigh in because you wanted to weigh in but could not please email me so we can keep you in the group. I think with this added feature it will really push ourselves to weigh in everyweek. At work we are doing the pound for pound challenge, so I have weightloss completey surrounded by me. If anyone needs that added help. Talk with your family, friends, coworkers about starting a weight loss group, weigh in together. With having MFP and the outside help, you will be THIN in no time. I believe in all of you!!!!!!

Sounds great to me! So we are weighing in each and every Saturday! I'm great with that! I think not missing a week really holds us each accountable and will keep us more motivated!

Hi everyone! Answers to the chart questions. I will post the chart in this forum. I will post it on Mondays instead of Sundays so that we can make sure I didn't forget anyone. I want everyone to do practice something this week. Ask yourself these questions in your mind, you do not need to answer these questions in the forum:

1. If you only had one house would you give it away (not sell, give away)?: Answer is No
2. If you won the lottery would you give the 5 million dollars away?: Answer is No
3. Do you love the size jeans you wear right now? Answer is No (I'm assuming no one likes their jeans size thats why were in this group losing weight)
4. Do you want to weigh what you weigh today for this summer? Answer is No
5. This week when that little voice in your head tells you to sabatoge your diet, eat back your calories, and say no to exercise...what are you going to say to yourself? NO!!!

My point is if you wouldn't give your house away, and you wouldn't give all of your money away, then why would you say Yes to the Pizza Hut? If you don't want to weigh this summer what you weigh today, then why say yes to the Double Bacon Cheeseburger? Practice saying NO this week. You are worth more than the food. Remember "Nothing taste as good as skinny will feel." You don't have to give up Burger King for the rest of your life, just put it on pause for now. Ask yourself this week when you think of slipping on your diet, at the beach or pool this summer, do you want to wear your bathing suit with pride or do you want to be hiding behind your towel like most of us have done the last several summers. No Excuses this week. Stop with the emotional eating. I used to do it too. But if your sad or angry go to the gym take the frustration out on the punching bag, walk the treadmill, don't go to the buffet. The fatty food will not solve your problems. The problems will be there still when you are done eating, except now you have a weight gain stress ontop of whatever upset you in the 1st place. At least when you turn your focus to exercise when you are sad or angry, you will still have that same problem when your done, but you have weight loss to look forward to. When you lose your weight and the compliments you recieve, the confidence you gain, the food is not worth the suffering. You need to tell yourself, "I DESERVE & WILL BE THIN!!!" I want to see big numbers lost this week, because I believe you can do it. :happy:
