    Hey there!

    I have the same goal too!! I'm 5'3 and weigh 165lbs. I'm looking to lose about 10lbs by October starting because i want to attend a family function. I'm starting a Beachbody hybrid program from tomorrow. I want to practice clean eating. Looking forward to have accountabilty partners.

    I'd love to be added! Although in my mind I'm already resigned to being 50, my big Five-Oh birthday is actually in October. This gives me a goal to shoot for by my birthday, and I'd love to do it with the support of others and to share my support and encouragement with everyone else.

    I just join a health club and will be doing two to three classes, plus some water jogging, as my primary exercises, combined with long dog walks. I have to get to the club at least 48 times by the end of the year to get insurance reimbursement, so that, plus all the support at MFP, should help keep me on track. I know what I need to do for food, too, so I'm back to planning my meals instead of letting spontaneity lead me to eating out way too much.

    Let's do this!!

    I'm in! I'm currently 193lbs and I want to be 165-170lbs by mid-November for my trip to NYC so that I won't delete all of the photos with me in them this time haha. I'm travelling from the UK so I'd like to have some reminders of the trip this time!

    I am starting again - keep losing the same 15 - 20lbs then putting it back on! However, my blood pressure is up and I'd like to use a more permanent commitment to exercise to keep it down. When I'm running my numbers are always unremarkable. I'm currently 169 and 5'8''. I'd set a goal of 140 by end November, but sooner would be great! Would be great to work with others in the same boat!

    Me too! Almost every day, I wake up and say "today, I'm really going to commit to this" and then it slips away by dinnertime. I want to lose at least 35 pounds and I really need the support!

    I would love to join in. I really want to fit into my Halloween costumes this year, so I need to lose that same 25 lbs that keep coming back every time I think they're gone for good.

    I'm 5' 9.5" and currently 175, down from a high of 182. Goal weight 150, but if I can break into the 150s by Halloween I'll be happy. My goal is to exercise 5 days a week and I've been doing really well with that, hitting my 5 days most weeks, and even had one 16 day in a row streak. My downfall is my eating, I'm constantly hungry and always craving.

    Are we going to do group weigh ins or something to keep ourselves accountable and motivated?

    I would love to be added. I've fallen off the wagon a few times and need to get serious, so I'm looking for some added motivation and accountability. I have 79lbs to lose and knocking off 20 would be a great start!

    Wow, this thread has grown! I'm not going to weigh myself for a while because I don't want to get caught up in that. I'll trust my exercise and the fit of my clothes to let me know my progress.
