    Hi Kristen and everyone else! I would like to join. I have been looking for something like this. I was just involved in a holiday bootcamp through the biggest loser club online. They had a forum and I was able to find a wonderful group of supportive members. Do you guys usually have 225 members in one group? That seems a lot to manage. I'm sure there is some attrition. How many people do you you usually end up with? Are the groups usually pretty interactive? Thanks! I followed the link I read the please read topic. Thanks again.

    @ashsmile78 - "225 members" - It depends. Sometimes, I've had almost 500 wanting to join and have had to limit it. Other times, it is hard to get 150. I only keep it public for so long so we'll see.

    Hi! I'm wondering if this group is the right fit for me. I've lost 65 pounds so far (taking two years) but I've used Weight Watchers to lose most of it, and exercise of course. I track my daughter's eating on my account here (she's on a feeding tube). I have about 9 pounds left to lose. Anyway, would this be an appropriate group for me to join, being that I'm using Weight Watchers as my plan? (I log my foods and exercise in that app :) Thank you!

    Hi! My name is Kristen and I have been the host of 12 long term challenges, here on MFP, and now it's time to get ready for the next one! This challenge is "! Exercising Toward Easter !" and goes for 12 weeks. It is from January 5 to March 30. Our weigh ins will be on Mondays. You can weigh in early (Thursday – Sunday) so our first weigh in starts today!

    Please don't let the title stop you from joining. I'm a really informal host. The group will be pretty easy going, with a great mix of people posting and supporting each other, along our weight loss journey. "Exercise" is not mandatory, for our group. We won't have pressure either! If you'd like to join, please go here:

    P.S. This challenge will become private, once we reach 225 people. Welcome!
