January 2015 Weight Loss Challenge

I would like to join. Work has been so busy, and I've put on the weight I worked so hard to lose. Hopefully this will help motivate me to get to the gym, even when it's dark, cold, and rainy when I get off work. This is my first MFP challenge! Let's do it!

Hello... I am interested in being in joining this group and being accountable to others. I have put on 20+ pounds in the last year and was already 20+ pounds heavier than I like to be prior to that. I broke my back a year and half ago... and just had my second surgery in October. Unfortunately my doctor has restricted all exercise until April. I would like to try lose weight via eating healthy and counting calories, until I can begin to exercise again.

I'm in! Although I will be starting properly on Monday 5th. The 1st is my birthday so I certainly won't be behaving myself

I would like to join this group also. I am struggling with motivation right now and I think this may be just what I need. I am also going to be keeping this in my journal along with my neck, breast, waist, hip and thigh measurements.

Sounds like a good starting place. I had lost over ten pounds, but gained 5 back. Need to get things turned around and get back to my good eating habits and daily walking. Let's go and get fit in '15!

Thank you for starting this challenge. It's a great way to have a goal for the next month. Please count me in! I just joined MFP on Christmas Day (I got a Fitbit for Christmas and was setting that up and found MFP!) and I love this site so far. I have a LOT of weight to lose and sometimes feel down about what a long road I have ahead of me. I'm hoping the weight comes off a bit quicker the first month. It would be really exciting to end this challenge being under 300 pounds so my goal will be a bit lofty, in order to get to 299.
