Have not used my fitness for some time but after returning from holiday and gaining 2.7 kilos I decided to re-join. Currently weigh 63 kilos but would like to be 57 kilos. I am 5ft 3 ins and 63. Hoping this group with a six week challenge and realistic weight loss will push me on.

    Great idea. Today is just my second day on MFP and my first lifestyle change is to keep a daily food journal (which I hadn't done for years before yesterday). I also want to walk more and drink more water. Those are my goals for these 6 weeks (in addition to the 10 pound weight loss goal). Best wishes everyone!

    Just back from my vacation, too. Heavier. Darn all of that Italian pasta and pizza. So time to begin anew. Goal for this week is to write in the food diary. Never been good at that. And, get through the jet-lag, which gets tougher as I get older. So, here I begin.

    Let's do this! I have increased my protein intake and decreased my carb intake. I've lost 3 pounds in three weeks. Ten pounds in 6 weeks is a bit extreme, but I will try!

    Just came back from holiday in Rarotonga and cannot fit into anything! Worst of all is that I feel heavy and lethargic.
    I want to loose at least 10kg (It will take more than 6 weeks) but I am sure that the 6 weeks can be the start of a fantastic permanent change.

    Just made a really tasty pasta salad dish. Not so good if you are trying low carb but I feel some carbs are needed at dinner to feel fuller.
    Used Fusilli pasta, Tesco superfood grains chilled which has quinoa, grains, beetroot, Edamame beans. Threw in Tesco Edamane and pea salad, pomegranate and a little salad dressing. Good with salad leaves, had this with salmon.

    I'm really happy to see this challenge today. Started low carb high fat at the end of April along with regular walking and other exercise and have lost about 18lbs. Unfortunately weight loss has come to almost a standstill and I still have 20 lbs to go. Looking forward to the teamwork and encouraging each other

    Hello! I am in for the challenge starting today as well. I am looking to lose 3-4 lbs, currently at 131lbs and feel like 127 would be a realistic goal for 6 weeks since I have a vacation in between which is always tricky to navigate. Looking forward to it!

    Although, I need to lose a lot more that 10 lbs, I am REALLY looking forward to this challenge. I'm going to continuously make small obtainable goals until I reach my ultimate goal --- to lose 40 lbs.

    Hi Ciccia , Thanks for starting group . I do know the program works because I have done it before . Because of some health issues and inactivity my weight came back . My goal is to log food and hit calorie numbers that programs tells me to eat ( right now 1500 cal a day ) . One step at a time .

    Hey Hey All! Been with MFP for three months and have done well (-12lbs) but have been slacking all of June and need to ramp up again. Thank you Ciccia for the kick in the butt!

    Excited to get started on this challenge!
    I need help keeping motivated..I'm hoping this is my answer.
    Need to eventually lose 30 lbs, but small short term goals seem more manageable...

    I am very excited for this challenge!! Also I am starting to train for a half marathon. It is crazy!! What do you eat before and after exercising? If I have breakfast before I feel very heavy and can't run. But if I don't eat anything I feel bad too. I am trying with half apple before with a tsp of pb. Any suggestions?
