    Current BMI: 28.8

    I have lost 47 pounds so far and am hoping to reach my goal weight a little before Thanksgiving. I am hoping this challenge will help me finish getting to my goal and to help me not to gain it back during the holidays! Thank you for organizing this!!

    Howdy!!! I joined your group the other day and am so excited about losing more weight!! First of all I wanna thank ya'll for having the spreed sheet, it's challenges like this that have helped in part to keep me accountable and helped me lose almost 50 lbs since last Oct. Only about 40 more to go! :bigsmile:

    Here are my details so they can be added into the spreadsheet.
    4wheelinchick--- Crystal :flowerforyou:
    Start weight - 216.6 lbs. on Aug 3rd
    Goal - 191 lbs.
    Current BMI - 33.3
    Goal BMI - 29.9 (I will finally be "overweight" when I make it to my goal weight for this challenge! Haha! :tongue: )

    That is a total of 25.6 lbs in 20 weeks!! No slacking!

    Good luck to everyone!! And just remember, peeps, we gotta keep on, keeping on! We have got this!!! :wink:

    Hi!
    I hope it's not too late to join, since I love the idea of having some extra motivation to lose weight by Christmas! I'm one of those people who does well with a goal and challenge! I lost weight for my daughter's Christmas-time wedding in 2012 and kept it off for 8 months. But alas, like so many of us I got detrailed by family caregiving and my dad's death; am trying to find my way back to a new normal now! I look forward to joining others on this weight loss journey.
    My stats:
    name: mom2kgirls
    SW: 199
    GW: 174
    BMI: 31.2

    I just found a site that calculates the BMI for women and men separately due to new recommendations:
    http://bmicalc.org/bmi-calculator-for-women
    You may want to look at it when you set your goal weight.

    Hope I am not too late to join. My weight loss has stalled this will help me refocus, if I reach my goal I will be below 100kg for the first time in over 20 years. I will still have some work after Christmas however that will be a real achievement.

    Good morning! My information has been added to the spreadsheet already but I just realized that I made a huge error! My BMI should be listed at 38, NOT 48. Thank you again for putting this all together! I"m looking forward to starting officially. I weighed in this morning & I was 219.4! Whoo-hoo!!!!

    Hi! I'm a little confused about the spreadsheet. Are you going to share it with us through Google docs so we can put our own info in each week? I finally figured out how to pull it up and it told me to ask the owner to share for me to enter info. It would be an awful lot of work for you to enter all of our weights each week!
    I am happy this morning that the weight I lost over the weekend is "real". When I got on the scale yesterday and was down 3 pounds, I was afraid I would go back up today, but the scale is the same! I had finally broken the 200lb mark (weight is 199.8) and would really hate to see it go back up!! I know it is psychological, but seeing a 1 instead of a 2 for that first number is huge to me!

    I was in the last challenge and actually gained. I didn't have the motivation I guess:embarassed: As of 8/4 I've restarted, unfortunately at my heaviest ever. My husband is cutting back too so that should be of some help or at least not a hinderence:tongue:

    So glad your husband is doing it with you! I think it makes a difference when our family members join us. I talked to my sister last night about what I am doing and she is thinking about joining MFP also, and maybe even this challenge. These boards are great, but setting goals with your family can really keep you motivated. Good luck!
