Hey everyone!
I am starting this group for everyone who wants to try losing 10 lbs by the end of February. Starting today, it is exactly 5 weeks until March 1st! I know that we can do it! Follow any method that works for you, and diet, any workout and we will be here for motivation and support!
Weight in's will be Mondays, starting tomorrow morning!
I will start by telling you about myself: My name is Chelsea, I am 27 and currently (as of last Monday) 201.5lbs. Here's hoping that by tomorrow it will be less. I only weigh myself once a week. My ultimate goal is to reach 150lbs, but I would be just as happy reaching 170 by June 1st! We are going to Europe for a family functions, then in July it's my High School Reunion so I have lots of Motivation! I am also 5'7.5".
We can do this!!! See you all tomorrow morning for our first weight in!!

    I am definitely in!! I normally do my weigh-ins Mondays anyway, and this is an aggressive, but doable, goal. Our heights and goals are exactly the same. Thanks for the idea!

    Hi Chelsea. My name is Megan. I too am 27 as of two months ago. I have always been fit, but the last year or two I have gained weight. I am 5'8" and weight 165. Most would look at me and not think that or tell me in crazy for wanting to loose weight, but they don't understand how I feel. I love summer we have a pool and a boat and this past summer I wore a bathing suit 5 times. I used to live in my swintsuits. It all comes down to me now being comfortable in my skin anymore and I'd really like to loose 15 to 20 pounds. Buy I'd take 10. I just want to feel myself again. (: let's do this!! :D

    Nah, I'm working on one pound a week. No way I can do two pounds a week. Good luck to you all.

    Personally, I know it's not going to happen for me. I'm much too close to my goal weight, but it's nice to have something to aspire to.
  • I'm in! I've got quite a lot to lose as depression led me to just pile it on. Now I'm ready and more motivated than ever to do something about it. What a great challenge!
  • This is such an awesome idea! I'm a new mum, who has gained 40lbs during pregnancy. I'm currently 217 lbs (I've lost a 25 so far). My ultimate goal weight is 150lbs. I'm hoping that we can all motivate each other to achieve our goals!!!! I'm hoping to get down to 205 by the end of February!!!!!! We can do it!!!!!!!!!

    Me too! I'm in! My name is Katie and I'm 28. I've majorly fluctuated all my life (360 down to 200, back to 345, down to 170 and now back at 240). I'm trying to get down to 159 and STAY THERE!!! This I'd my first time not losing with an extreme/fad diet. I feel like what I'm doing now will be slower but will allow me to maintain easily.
  • I definitely know that struggle Katie! I added you as a friend!!! :-)

    Accountability! I'm totally in.

    I'm 31, 260lbs., 5'4". My goal weight is 125lbs. I'm in a weight loss challenge at work with a really nice chunk of change as some incentive over these next couple of months, but ultimately I want to go shopping for my wedding dress next year with a little less fear.

    I'm in! I'm 34 and am currently 182.2 pounds, and am 5'5. My goal weight is 140. I'm a mother of two little ones (4 months and 21 months), so, this will be a good challenge for me! Good luck to everyone.

    I started using MFP two weeks ago and am down 11 pounds, I still have 139 to go but these little challenges help

    Sounds like a tough challenge but one I want to take on! Current weight is 240.6 and I am 5'7". I have a mini vacation in March, may require a swimsuit for the hot tub so any little bit helps!
