    Can I still join this group? I would love to lose 6-10 lbs in the next 12 weeks but mostly I want to focus on improving habits. SW-150 GW 144 Ultimate GW 137. My first goal I am setting for myself is to log all of my intake between now and Sunday. Cheers!

    My start weight is 228lb and in 12 weeks I would like to be at least 215lb. I feel like that is a reasonable goal weight.

    I tollaly agree with you, it's all about taking small steps, we all didn't get our extra weight over night, or for that fact even in 12 weeks.
    With the suggestion from my new doctor, he has ask me to try a ten week program to trim off a half a pound per week, which for me it's knocking off 500 calories a day and guess what I can do that as a solid starting point.
    Take care!

    Just weighed in today 242.6. In the 12 weeks I'd like to be down 10-15 lbs. I am going to kick up my workout so I get at least 15k steps 3 times a week. Transitioning to healthy eating and it is working so I need to stay on track. Have a great day everyone!

    I would like to join in too please, I am back to MFP after a long break but I'm more determined this time. SW: 14st 12lbs. GW: 14st 0lbs. 1 pound a week at the most is what I'm aiming for throughout my weight loss this time round, I made the mistake in the past of expecting too much too soon and then giving up when I 'failed'. Looking forward to reading all your stories and tips and tricks along the way :)

    After an entire week of the scale not budging an ounce it finally caught up to me and I lost 2.5lbs when I got back from my vacation last night! I felt vindicated:)

    I would love to join this challenge. I need / want the accountability of a challenge. My SW is 220lbs & my goal this challenge is 20 lbs. I'm hoping this challenge will kick start my weight loss as it feels like I have been stuck between 225 & 220 for a long time! We just put a deposit down on a cruise for spring break 2018, so my goal is to be down to 180lb by 3/10/18. My ultimate GW is 150lbs.
    I look forward to hearing everyone else ideas & suggestions for losing the weight & keeping it off. I already drink a ton of water, so I don't think that is an issue for me but I am trying to make sure I log everything I eat/drink and working on increasing my number of steps in a day.
    What are some ideas you have?

    Thanks @GoBlue1981 for the tips & words of encouragement! I really appreciate it :)
    I like the idea of monthly challenges & when accomplish getting a non-food reward
    I'm on day 2 of logging everything... I love the phone app for that for sure!

    Hi all, got my ticket installed (I think?) and want to check in! Lost 2.7 lb since Sunday, mostly from staying away from alcohol and eating less... having a hard time giving up salty things yummmmmmm :)

    Keep up the great work and motivation! Looking forward to our week 1 check-ins!
