Hello all -
Starting a 12-week weight loss challenge, beginning today (October 1). Anyone welcome!
I plan on weighing and checking in every Sunday, but you can choose the day that works best for you.

Here's my information to start:

Joined MFP on 5/7/17 with OSW: 178
Challenge SW: 10/1: 147.4 (goal to weight 140)

    Yep! I'm in
    I'll weigh in on Thursdays but for now...

    Started back up on MFP on 26/6
    OSW - 87.6kg
    Current weight 81.9kg
    #1 Goal weight- 77kg
    #2 Goal weight- 75kg
    #3 Goal weight- 70kg

    I lose weight slowly but If I can hit #1 before Christmas I'll be pretty thrilled.
    It's to difficult to translate all the kg to lb but just to speak the same language google tells me my original weight was 193lb and Goal one is 170lb.

    Hopefully a good challenge on here can keep me on track.

    Welcome aboard...I just got done participating in another 12 week challenge, and it was helpful to have the support of others on here. Sounds like you're doing great!

    Hi Karen! Don't beat yourself up too much about the road trip, we've got 12 weeks! Holidays can be tricky! Eat well, move when you can and get focused for week 2. You'll do great!! Have a good trip.
