edited September 2024 in Motivation and Support
So, I've been pretty unmotivated in the eating properly and exercise department - but I've got my groove back. Anyone want to join me in a challenge?

I propose to lose 10 pounds by September 1st. That means 2 pounds per week for 5 weeks starting yesterday. It will be a challenge for sure - but I think I can do it.

My SW is 190. I'll weigh in again next Thursday!

    Count me in. It's going to be a stretch, but i'm willing to try. I'd be in a very happy place after only 10 more lbs! Let's do this thing.

    I would love to do this. I have removed my scale from use due to weighing myself several times a day. So I will update in a few days. SW182

    I want to do this too. If I am able to accomplish this, I will be overweight and no longer OBESE. Cannot wait to call myself fat.
