Hi,

I've got a goal of losing 10lbs by the end of September. I realize it will be difficult but I think that it is doable. It would be great to have some buddies along the way!

My goal is to eat more veggies, fewer carbs, and little sugar. I will also be ramping up my exercise. I have an injury I am recovering from so I will be swimming more.

The challenge starts on Friday the 1st, but I'll say where I am starting from. I am at 144lbs as of August 29th, 2017.

Keep posting your weight, your goals, and any other thoughts!

Thanks!
Jessica

    I'm in for this! I just (re)started my weight loss journey and need a good kick in the butt to get some more exercising in. I currently run once a week and play in a 40 minute competitive soccer game on Sunday's. I am also coming back from an injury (which, so far, seems to be doing fairly well after 2 games) so I think I can up my running and physical fitness a little more.

    I'm in, my weight has slowly crept up on me over the last 2 years. I've got about 35 lbs to lose. Starting with 10 in September seems like a good first goal. I'm semi-active (walking the dog daily, occasional bike to work but spend a lot of time sitting at work).

    I'll have to remember that small changes will bring me more success overall. Thanks for the challenge.

    I've never done this before, it'll be nice to have some group support.

    Great to see all of you on here! It makes me feel more motivated already. I'm in PT for an injury so I'm focusing on biking and swimming right now. I'll start posting my weight on Friday. If you don't want to post your current weight, gains and losses are ok too. We're just here to motivate and support each other!

    I want in! Ideally I would like to lose 30 pounds by December 1, so this is a great place to start. I slip up about every other day so I really need to stick with this
