Hi everyone!

It's been 5 years since I led a weight loss challenge on MFP and I am ready to do it again. This was always when I lost the most weight, felt most supported and had the most fun so let's all commit to getting ourselves fit and healthy for the summer (I am down under).
If you want to lose 10 pounds or 5kg in August then get involved!
One thing I do ask is that you weigh in every week - without fail. We need to commit to this and all support each other.
We'll weigh in tomorrow (22nd July) and then every Friday until the end of August with a bonus weigh in on 31st August.

Please copy this and and paste it into your post each week. I'll do mine in the morning!:

    In the interests of accuracy you may want to change the title to "5kg (11 pounds)" !

    I'm just starting out and have been going to the gym too. I think my muscle gains are fooling with the scale as I am coming back from surgeries and I'm pretty soft all over! Hopefully I can start losing for this challenge!
