Hey everyone!

I've tried to start this group before but I've been very unsuccesful. I've been on MFP hiatus for close to 6 months and came back with strenght and motivation like crazy a few weeks ago. I am down 12 lbs in 3 weeks and I would really love to have a Monday morning weigh in group to help with the motivation, and hopefully I can help people out too!

Let me know if you're on board wih me! :bigsmile:

    Starting weight as of 1/1/11: 327
    1/17/11: 322.5

    My short term goal is to lose 57 lbs by June 1, that will make me 270, and at a weight I haven't seen in about 6 years! My second goal is to lose a total of 100 lbs by the time my future niece/nephew is born! As of right now, my sister's due date is Sept 21. My ultimate goal is to weigh 175lbs, which I would like to attain by St. Patick's Day od 2012.

    Next week, my goal is to lose 4 more lbs, and put me at 311.

    Let's hear everyone else's story/goals!!

    I would love to join, I just started and have a long way to go but I know I would probably do better knowing I have to weigh in with other people. I will try anything. I weigh 240 and want to loose 100 pounds by this time next year or close to it. Thanks

    Hey everyone!

    Today I weighed in at 311.5, a 3.5 loss. I was hoping for a 4 or 5, but I have to remember I'm building muscle too, I resistance train every other day. People are starting to tell me that I'm looking slimmer, so that's always a big motivator!

    SW: 327
    LW: 315
    CW: 311.5
    Next week's goal: 308
    GW: 175

    15.5 lost, 136.5 to go!

    How did everyone else do?!?!?!

    Well I gained 2 lbs this week but i'm being accountable for them.
    This has irritated me to a point that it is doubtful I will gain again lol! I feel like today is the rebirth of my weightloss asperiations...prior to joining this site i had lost 30 and got stuck there...I was up or down 5lbs but couldnt' jsut keep losing so I kind of gave up...well I gave myself the present of a personal trainer and today was our first visit....motivation back!
    I WILL COUNT MY CALORIES
    I WILL WORK OUT 5 DAYS A WEEK
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I WILL LOSE WEIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm having trouble shifting weight at the moment. Currently weighing in at 154lbs, which for my height and age is not acceptable.
    I'm very unfit and find it hard to motivate myself to exercise. I'll join this Monday weigh-in to see if it helps :)
    Not too worried about my diet, however I am a student and always quite short of cash - for this reason I find that some months all I can afford after paying rent is supernoodles and pasta! :P When I have money though I rather like eating more healthy meals. And I have almost completely cut out alcohol :)

    I would love to join this group :)
    I'm use to doing my weigh-in on Friday mornings tho.. because I work hard all week and give myself the weekend to eat a bit of real food.. my diet coach gives me 2 cheat meals on weekends.. so I don't like my weight on Mondays but will do it :)

    I would love to join if it's not to late. I just joined the site last monday. so monday is my weight in day. Started at 205 1/31, weight in at 198 this morning. Goal is around 150, I'll figure it out when I get there. I just want a healthy weight I can maintain without yo-yoing up and down. Because everytime I go up it ususally takes me a long time to come down.

    To all of our new joiners: IT IS NEVER, EVER TOO LATE TO JOIN! I'm loving the participation!

    If we're gonna weigh in together every week, we should get to know eachother! So I'll go first!

    I'm Rachel, I'm 26, I work as a trainer for HSBC Mortgage. I live in Buffalo, NY, and apart from the snow, I love it! I'm born and rasied here, and it really is an awesome city! I love dogs, and have a Golden Retriever, Tucker. I'm newly single, and surprisingly loving it. I love the outdoors; camping, hiking, bonfires, etc. I looooove the Dave Matthews Band, tattoos, hockey (Buffalo Sabres), football (Buffalo Bills), and baseball (Boston Red Sox). I've been overweight since I was a kid and never really let it affect me too much, but I've reached the point where it is. So here I am, taking charge!!!!

    How about everyone else?

    Last week 156.6
    This week 157.2

    I have no issue with the gain because the week before I lost 3lbs. My average loss is 1lb a week so I was just hoping to maintain this week anyway.

    My name is Julie and I am 34 years old, engaged to be married to Remi and I have 2 beautiful daughters, Ashley is 16 years old and Byanka is 7 years old. I live in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. I gained 50lbs 2 years ago when I was put on anti-depressants which I no longer take and the doctors had said as soon as I stop the weight will melt off.. well I've been off for one year now and it wasn't melting off... I started a weight loss program with a diet coach on October 25, 2010 at 170lbs and am now down to 153lbs and very happy about that but I would love to get down to 125lbs for this summer.

    Hi! My name is Debbie. I am a 50 year old mother of 4 from Boston, Ma. I have been battling my weight for half my life. I was a member of T.O.P.S. for about 5 years and loved the comraderie. Unfortunatly my kids schedule make it almost impossible to attend meeting so I dropped out about 2 years ago. I also managed to put back on all the weight I lost there. I know I can't do it alone, this past year has proved that:noway: . I work as a cook at one of the local schools, so I spend alot of time around the not healthiest food. My schedule is pretty hectic with work & my kids sports. I find as I get older carring around all this excess weight is wearing on me. My body aches, I get out of breath easy and I feel plain crappy:frown: . Last week I decided enough was enough and starting browsing the web and came across this site and decided to give it a try. I started last Monday at 205 pounds and weighed in this morning at 198 pounds:smile: , It's amazing how much difference tracking your calories can make. My goal this week is to start excersing more, My goal is to get to 150 by July. I'm hopeing to hit 190 by March.

    I am Shannon. I am 29 and started out January 10th at 195 pounds! Yikes! Am now 183 pounds (thank you Jillian Michaels and the 30 Day Shred!)

    I was a huge smoker (1.5 packs a day), huge drinker (hello rye and coke!), huge snacker (why yes I will have 3 Reece's Peanut Butter Cups for breakfast, followed by 3 more!), and huge justifier.

    And in the past year I quit smoking - thank you Champix!
    I quit drinking (so much) booze.
    I quit snacking like the Po-Po were coming to raid my house and impound all my chocolate.
    And I joined MFP to log my calories and my exercise.

    I have been loving The Biggest Loser Family Cookbook which has helped me control my meal calories, and I have been loving the 30 Day Shred for a short and intense workout!

    See you guys in 7 days!!!

    I like this group! I'm doing some other longer challenges, but I like the short and sweet nature of this group...to keep me going weekly.

    I'm a graduate student. I have about 1.5 years left to finish a PhD. My highest weight was 178...and I'm 4 ft 11 in. I am, by nature, a pear--but I was trapped inside an apple. More recently, I've been battling the last 20 pounds. Seemingly, one excruciating ounce at a time.

    My goal is to do this right, however long it takes, so that I don't have to do it again.
