    Ok so Monday is here and Cw= 247 i've decided that my goal weight will be 232. Considering that i managed to lose ten pounds in eight weeks doing midsummer meltdown i think losing 15 pounds should be achievable. My NSV goal is at the end of this to finally be down a dress size, those UK 18's have been hanging on for a while now.
    Hope to see you all soon!

    The official kickoff of F4F has arrived! :drinker: ....:drinker: ....:drinker:

    Have you thought of your GW and/or NSV(s)?? Post those today and each Monday post a check in status report on your progress towards your goals.

    Remember that each Monday a different food & exercise challenge will be posted. Continue to come back to the thread and post how your doing with the new challenges. Many of us have found that being an active participant on the thread can help towards staying focused towards your goals.

    I hope everyone has a successful 11 weeks!!

    ********************** WEEK # 1 CHALLENGE ******************************

    Food - Drinking 10 glasses of water each day. Water is so important to a healthy lifestyle but is often forgotten about during the day. Here's word of warning.....Don't wait until the end of the day to get in all your water....you won't have a good night's sleep! :wink:

    Exercise - Include weights into your workouts. Whatever your exercise routine is, include hand or ankle weights to get that extra strength training. You choose the weight

    Good Luck, Everyone!!

    GW-143

    Okay, so my weight is up from last week. Not super thrilled about that but I didn't have the greatest weekend eating either so I"m going to assume that will just come off in a couple days. I haven't come up with my NSV yet so I will report back when I do.

    Don't worry! I forget you all live in the US... hence my use of Northern English slang i.e I'm mafting. I usually dont do my exercise until the evening anyway.

    Goal: 8.0 lbs

    NVS: Have my jeans feel loose again rather than skin tight.

    Also, I am really working towards actually using my gym membership more consistantly and create an actual schedule to work out. I am going to start Jillian Michaels Shred and really try to stick to doing that at least 3 times a week and also going to the gym to get cardio in 2-3 time a week also.

    Morning All!

    GW:235

    I hope to lose 11 lbs

    NSV:
    1. Maintain my CW through 7/16 (my sister's wedding). I recently got my dressed altered, I had 7 inches removed from the dress and it must fit.

    I'll reevaluate NSV after the wedding :smile:

    @Ailene...I LOVE the water challenge:love:. Increasing my water intake really made a huge difference for me. I'm going to shoot for 15 - 20 glasses of water.

    Hi all, I'm new to MFP and hoping you don't mind me joining your group! I've been up and down weight wise a lot over the last few years and it is time to get my weight and health under control before it's "too late." A lot of the woomen in my family have Type 2 diabetes and I would really like to get a handle on my weight and what I am putting into my mouth to try to avoid that.

    CW: 196
    GW: 180

    Goals:
    1) Lose 16 pounds by 9/5
    2) go from a size 16 to a size 12/14
    3) USE my gym membership instead of just paying to have a cute tag on my keys! ;) My goal is to go to the gym at least 3 times per week.
    4) Track everything that goes into my mouth... If I bite it, I write it!
