I'm interested in this!!! I have a hard time doing running and things that strain the knees, but I'm up for a Challenge!!!!0
-
Count me in..I've been trying to find a group too0
-
I will, I just joined. I don't know how to post a picture, I have to get my daughter to do it for me. I once lost 95 pounds, but gained backe over 120. I know how to lose, it is just keeping it off that I have the problem with.0

I have at least 137 pounds left to lose!0

Kool i actually didnt think that i would get many responds but great now like i said im new here so i dont know how to post everything but i guess we can just continue it on here Any suggestions on where to start i dont want to get to advance and discourage everyone so maybe some mini challanges like so much water intake a day or week maybe calorie intake any suggestions ? I love the response so far Maybe we could start by everyday we touch bass with everyone different topics a day then maybe weigh in once a wk What do u guys think ??:happy:0
-
I say we give our group a name, so that way we know what topics are ours...then I like the idea of mini challenges...a way to push ourselves everyday. I know I struggle with sugar intake, so maybe we do one where we stay under our sugar intake, or we do 20 situps. I'd say walk, but right now, it has been over 100 degrees here, and I don't want anyone to get sick!!! Let's rock this!!!0

oh count me in!!!!!!!!! I'm Amy... 10 days into MFP and 5 lbs down in my 1st week! Loving it and looking for more support. My first GW is to loose 72 pounds. Second goal weight is to loose 60. I got this way after a horrible pregnancy. I gained 100lbs after being on bed rest and having so many difficulties. Then very soon after I was in an automobile accident which put me back on bed rest and through 7 surgeries in 3 years - though out this time I got up to 272lbs and I'd like to get back down to 140 (wedding day weight!) I'm looking for support on my journey - i have a long way to go but I am committed to this process because I am tired of feeling the way I do!0
-
I'll join ya!! You should keep the group to a min. though. Alot eaiser to keep track of everyone. Let me know if you need some challenges. I belong to another group and we do weekly challenges. Right now (august) it's lose 10 lbs for the month. But we also do things like jumping jacks and water intake. Welcome to MFP!0
-
Me too please!! I'm starting to realize all the tools and support MFP has to offer and I'm totally done with not looking like the girl I am inside. I'm recovering from a spinal injury (3 disc protusions) which gave me trouble and could not be diagnosed until after I gave birth to my third child Jan 4th of this year. It was March before I had an MRI and found out the cause of my trouble.
I've been in physical therapy about a month and just walked my 1st mile since before my pregnancy (4/2010) last week. I made it 1.25 miles this week and I've been feeling great. I have about 120 lbs to lose. I've already lost the pregnancy weight so I just need to discipline myself. In 2013, I'll have two very big reunions, 20th high school reunion and my sorority's 90th anniversary. I want to show off the new me.
The of course, there's the kids. I have three kids; 6, 4, and 6 months. I want to make sure they grow up with healthier eating habits and better coping mechanisms than I was taught. They are the world to me and I don't ever want them to go through the pain I've had due to my weight.0 -
I'd say walk, but right now, it has been over 100 degrees here, and I don't want anyone to get sick!!! Let's rock this!!!
ditto....
where are you?
I'm in Richmond Va.... We just got a heat wave warning... they are saying this 115 like it has been is going to be nothing we'll be wanting that back.... I don't know how I'm going to make it through this new wave... LOL!0 -
Kool i have some ideas i will work on it today! I agree on the walking i did one mile yesterday in this heat and it about killed me i had to call my fiancee and have him bring my inhaler its way to hot here i live in alledonia ohio Where does everyone live? I dont go by my sugar intake i do carbs Is anyone on a eating plan by like a dietian or their docter cause i dont want to effect anything that they have u doing let me know and i think that we should all friend request each other so we can keep in touch better and if u have any suggestions for a group name let me know lets do this together i know we can :drinker:0

I would be interested also0

Great topless1 we would love to have u do u have any ideas on what u want to work on and need motivation with.
Is everyone moms i thought about moms on a mission 2011 what do u think let me know0 -
Moms on a Mission 2011. I like that if everyone is a mom.0

The Eliminators! we are eliminating old habits, changing our body, Could add "aiming for 2012". New year coming. New habits.0
-
Count me in, I need to lose 170lbs0

:bigsmile: I like the eliminators that is exactly what we are doing if everyone agrees that is it lol. Welcome earthangel0333 we would love to have you the more the better lol we need all the motivation we can get .
I have been working on a few ideas here goes 1. I thought that we could check in at least 4 days a week with everyone at least can more if u want. Each day would be different things to talk about like We can start on Monday and it could be our weigh-in and each of us could set a personnel goal to do for that week along with our group goal. On Wednesday we could vent our frustrations or just talk about what we have been doin to reach our goals. On Friday we could tell something about ourselfs so we get to know each other better and finally on Sunday we could tell everyone how we did on our personnel goals and see how we did on our group goals i can keep track of that we could like talley up how many exercise minutes we all did that week or the water we consumed together. We could also discuss our ideas for the following weeks goals we want to set.
Then i thought our first week goals could be 1. Everyone drink at least 8 servings of water a day 2. we could set a goal to do cardio exercise of choice for 20 minutes a day 3. Finally do 10 situps a day each
Hows this sound i can start another post with our group name and put all of this there let me know either send me a message or on here k Cant wait to get started :bigsmile:0 -
I like the Eliminators as well.; eliminating negative behaviors and thoughts that we don't deserve better.
I've very excited about this group and look forward to getting to know everyone.0 -
I hope you haven't filled your group yet, I have 100lbs to loose as well. Always been over weight, at least since I was very young. The last 10 years or so between kids, medical issues, and more than a few poor choices have left me 149lbs. I'm participating in a behavior modification weight loss program at my local hospital but need some online support and accoutability as well. Would love you join you. Now to actually fill in my profile as opposed to be just another annonymous lurker.0
