in Motivation and Support
Hey everyone. This is my first challenge. I am nervous because I'm not sure how to "host" a challenge, but, I really need motivation to lose this weight! I would like to lose as much as I can before I take my dress in to get it altered (It is already too big, so, might as well make it a little bigger, make them work for that money :laugh: )
Nothing specific, I probably won't create any charts (but if someone wants to, that is great! :glasses: ) Just let me know if you want to join, your starting weight, goal weight and reason for wanting to lose it! My dress fitting is the end of September, so, I plan to lose as much as I can by then!!! If you have any tips/recipes or just advice, feel free to share it on here for everyone.

Reason to lose: To be healthy enough to start a family, and just feel GOOD for once!

    Getting married in July!

    I'm going dress shopping mid-September so I'd like to be between 165 and 160 by then.. reach 150 eventually.. see how I feel and then decide how much more I want to lose before the wedding! Ideally, around 130-140 will probably be my UGW and I hope to be there by next spring :)

    I am not getting married this year, I am getting married in 2013, but I am losing weight so I can fit in my grandmother's dress. There are a lot of ways we can do this challenge: teams with goals (where every team makes a blog), bf% reduced comparison, food challenges, exercise challenges, elimination challenges. Just a general check in and support every week. Sorry I am intensely involved (debatedly too involved) in an 8-week elimination challenge at the moment!

    I found that the biggest incentive was starting looking for a dress. I figured if i bought it first and then started losing weight i probably wouldnt keep it off becasue i know the dress fits anyway, and looks ok as it is.

    This way, i know that i have to maintain the weight i am now, or be less or it wont fit!

    First time ever publically posting my weight... *nervous* buuuut....

    SW: 231
    CW: 161 (loss of 70 pounds)
    GW: 130

    I'm getting married May 19, 2012 <3 I already bought my wedding dress when I was 231 pounds and had no intention of ever losing weight until I saw how hideous I looked in pictures a few months later. Then, I decided enough was enough and now... well, I'm a MFP addict :) Haha.

    I think that a food challenge sounds fun, although, I am not completely sure what that is. lol. Maybe a cooking challenge or something as well? Like, everyone cooks with a certain item and comes back with their healthy recipes? As well as check in and support.
