    I do better on short range goals so I vote for two back to back, the third option please @RobinB0812 and I think since Helene has volunteered that is FABULOUS! We will be off and headed down the lovely path of getting healthy and stronger! Thank you ladies!

    Welcome to the group @karenleona and @traceyc013. It's great to have you joining us!

    Thanks @RobinB0812 ... and @sand86802 for stepping forward to keep a challenge going. I take it, Robin, you mean to continue weighing in once a week as the challenge?

    The current challenge ending next week will have an 8-week run. I think 10 weeks is good. Start Sunday, end Saturday?

    I think I would like to do a month by month challenge. We would take a little break after Earthday and then start a May challenge. Any body with me?

    Hi. I'm new to this thread. I can't find a lot of threads that I want to be involved in on MFP but this one I can relate to. I don't like the silly games that are always posted. I just need to lose weight! LOL Anyway, I look forward to getting acquainted with new people and getting/giving support in this life change.

    Have a wonderful day!

    Thank you @RobinB0812 for organizing a new challenge! I like the idea of a 10 week challenge, but would be happy with whatever the group decides by vote count.

    I know I don't always chime in, but I have truly enjoyed being in a challenge. It has definitely made me think about what I am eating and has pushed me to exercise more. I would love to be involved in the next challenge - whatever it is!

    I'm in with any challenge you all decide on, for me 10 weeks is good, but I don't really care. It has been a great incentive and I think everyone of us has benefited from being in the current one. Thanks @RobinB0812 for getting the ball rolling and to @sand86802 and /or @MermaidPrincessRach whichever one of you ends up recording the stats for us. I am going to add one more thing to my personal challenge, I think it will just be a number from 1 to 7 to show the number of days I was able to drink a predetermined amount of fluid! I am bad at getting anywhere near what I should of my daily fluid. Now I just have to try to come up with a reasonable number. I know it should be at least 64 oz. so even though I don't drink anywhere near that amount, I guess that's what I'll put as my goal. Maybe by the end of the 10 weeks I'll be able to hit it!

    On another note, I rewarded myself for the first 30 pound lost by getting the speedometer for my bike. It tells me max speed, average speed, distance and time ridden as well as current speed and a few other things. I had to have a new front tire too, and I also got a water bottle holder and side mirror. I rode as soon as I got back with it and was happy to see that the speed I had guessed for past bike rides was pretty close! From now on I will know that I'm tracking accurately both speed and time wise. :smiley:

    I am amazed at the number of people that have already beat their goals in the challenge, way to go! For others struggling, I want you to know you are an inspiration to me that you are not giving in or giving up! Keep up the good work everyone, we still have 9 days left!

    Hi! I am in for this new challenge ... it really helps to share how we are doing and take accountability.

    Thank you @MermaidPrincessRach for organizing and volunteering to track the data.

    I am in process of relocating to Europe so the next months will be crazy for me, but later in the year I can help out with the new challenges.

    Have a great rest of the week and keep the awesome work! :smile:

    @MermaidPrincessRach and everone else working on the next challenge, I am in for the 10 week challenge. It will be motivating to keep track every week. I am concerned the medications I'm now taking for CHF might be interfering with weight loss, but I will add in body measurements to see if those are changing.

    @sand86802 I don't mind ... I am originally from Ecuador, but moved a lot ... this is my 7th international relocation! I am currently in the US, but as mentioned not for much long ... this time my new "home" will be Italy for at least the next couple years ... then we will see where the wind takes me ;)

    Thanks ladies for arranging the next challenge. I will participate but I will set my goal weight for the end of May and then change it for the end of June. I will be doing a lot of traveling and vacationing during that time period and that makes it difficult for me to plan out my weight loss strategy. I could but I'm just not willing to put that much effort or planning into what I will eat when. That would make my travels stressful rather than relaxing, which is the whole point of them!
    @happygirlxxx =Wow that's amazing, I'm so happy that you can be a woman of the world, that sounds so exciting! And @sand86802 wow to you too! I wish that I had been born in a time when women could just take off and go wherever they wanted and do whatever they wanted, without society having limiting expectations. I wasn't a rule breaker back then like I am now! LOL Happy travels to both of you! I do what I can now that I am a rule breaker! You can tell by my profile picture, I'm not your typical little old grandmother!
    OH and welcome @marib67
