    I'm in!!! I Lost 70 pounds in 2011-2012 for my big 4-0 (from 211 lbs down to 141 lbs). I have been up and down since then. Right now at 170 and I'm feel horrible!! Trying to hit 140 lbs by February. The 9 pounds in 9 weeks sounds like an awesome start! Let's do this!

    I'm in. Start weight for this challenge is 191. My birthday is about a week after yours, on the 18th. Adding in that extra week, maybe I can hit 181 for my birthday, which would be a 75 pound weight loss over-all. Let's do this.

    I'm in. 9lb in 9 sounds great. I'd like to lose about 18lb in total before I get married next year. I'm currently 158.
    I lost almost 20lb last year, gained 5 back on a trip of a lifetime holiday and then have stuck since. I am training for a 10 mile run, doing some lifting and generally trying to eat less. I could do with something to keep me accountable - the wedding still seems a long way off!

    Hm, according to my MFP app I am not participating in any challenges, does anyone know how I get this to appear in that list, please?

    I would love to join this challenge as well. I joined mfp last month and have lost 10 pounds so far, but I had gained 60 when I got married 4 years ago, so I could use this motivation

    @vegangem86 the challenges are sponsored things. Community challenges wouldn't show up there.

    Your story sounds a lot like mine. I lost 50 pounds and kept it off for 2 years, did a half marathon last year... Then all balance went out the window when I got promoted at work. The stress of the new position + a lot of work travel just threw me off my game. 143 was my sweet spot (hence my username) but I would be happy with 150. I am at 170 now, and I am mad at myself for losing control. No more tearing myself up, though. Time to just get it done!!

    I would like to lose about 13 pounds by November too. I'm currently at 191 and I am also setting the goal to work out 3 times a week minimum.

    Day 2 - did my 20 min hit last night but struggled to get through my 10 min abs this morning... The only thing that got me through was telling myself that I really want this and that I had to post something on here.

    I'm new to challenges - am I supposed to post updates or just log weight every week? Haven't seen any other updates yet - just more lovelies joining.

    I'm in! Posting two days late but I actually decided on Sunday to really get back on track. And I have an event on the 17th November so this time scale suits well!

    Starting Weight: 190lb. Goal Weight: 140lb. So I have a fair way to go but I have to start somewhere!

    Plan is to log everything, exercise regularly and change a few bad habits that have developed regarding my diet!

    2 days late to the party, but I'm in. I turn 51 tomorrow and I wanted my gift to myself to be the gift of fitness. I did weigh myself on the 11th - 201.8, which makes my goal192.8.
