    I have no idea how to join a group (or how to come back to this group?) but I'd love to be a part of this! I work out 5 days a week - 2 with a trainer. I pay all this money and still continue to eat way more than I should. I'm 75% healthy food and then I go off the rails when I'm ?? Hungry? Sad? Anxious? Bored? Especially when I'm tired. I'm strong and muscular - so I know it's not a total waste with a trainer but...come on!!!! I need to get this figured out. Soooo long story short - I'm In!!!!

    Not sure if we need to do anything, or just post in this group- how do we get notifications? I'm new to the discussion boards.
    I'm a little like Tonka above- I actually like working out, but have a tendency to use that as an excuse to eat what I want, particularly in the evening. I'll be fine until dinner, then all h-ll breaks loose. I've gradually gained back almost 30 of 50 lbs I lost 9 years ago, and it had to stop. So here I am.
    Today's Day 4 of my (latest) commitment to accountability. I've started a couch to 10K regimen and have logged my food consistently- and am eating clean. I can't look at timelines and calendars- it's got to be a day at a time, but I love having a long-term goal of 12/31!

    good luck everyone, we can DO this!

    I'm definitely in :) could use a good support group to help me stay motivated :) my goals are very similar as well. I have roughly 70 lbs to lose by the time I graduate college in May. I'd like to lose half that by December. I'm also 32 & I'm recovery from a motorcycle accident that destroyed my femur so I get discouraged soon as I start hurting.

    So... I guess I'll start us off?

    USW: 216.7 (started MFP)
    CSW: 180.4 (joined group challenge)
    CW: 180.4 (I officially weigh-in Mondays)
    CGW: ~160 (by 12/31)
    UGW: ~125 (by 10/1/17)

    Annnnd, just because...

    One non-food I reward myself with: a new book--either buy or borrow from library.

    One thing I'll try to improve: being purposefully active.

    I am IN! I've gained almost 30 lbs since moving to a new city for a new job 6 years ago. 5 lbs gained per year?!?! Time to make some new habits.

    I've lost 7 lbs so far this month which I'm happy about. If I could lose another 15+ by the holidays I would be ecstatic. Let's do this!

    I'm in! I was challenged to lose 50 lbs by December 31, and since the end of May I have lost 30! I know I can lose 20 more and get there by the end of the year--if I do it, the person who challenged me will give me $1,000!

    New week starting tomorrow. Good luck everyone! Anyone for a cheap thrill? My son was out of work and we would walk through the store and he would squirt Chanel for Men in his baseball hat. He's working now and can afford to buy it but it made him feel good. I would go for the hand lotion squirt. Tomorrow is a fresh start so let's get ready for September.

    Hi Everyone! Please add me as well! I'm in! I've been up and down my whole life. Stepped on the scale the other day and nearly fainted. Overall, I need to lose 100+ lbs. But just now focusing in losing 4 lbs. That's my first goal! :smile: I also have PCOS and the doctor told me to lose weight if I wanted to go through IVF. That was 3 years ago. :neutral: I need all the help and motivation I can get!
