Losing weight and getting fit is never an easy task. We all do better when we have really good support and motivation, which is why most of you are browsing this particular MESSAGE BOARD.

The FAT2FIT - WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE and SUPPORT GROUP is now accepting new registrations for the month of JULY!

This is a truly awesome group with over 250 challengers each month divided onto six teams competing in a friendly competition. Each week there is a moderators challenge and a group challenge for members to participate in (or not). Each team has their own Team Chat where team-mates encourage, motivate and support each other.

The group has an awesome motto - which is true to this group. "We can do this, We will do this - Together!" Remember, we all share the same issues, struggles and challenges - why not work through them TOGETHER.

    No... not motivation.... we need drive.... habit.... those two things get *kitten* done. It's not the motivation to go to the gym, walk, stay withen calories. It's the drive to go to the gym. The habit of logging and counting. Motivation is just so fleeting... jmho
  • Great motivation and support from great members!

    My longest streak ever with MFP was because of this group - almost two straight years. 700+ days without missing a day.

    Nothing motivates like some mild competition and mutual support. Also, you can enjoy some delicious schadenfreude when the other teams falter (did I say that out loud?)

    Be sure to check out the FAT 2 FIT - Weight Loss Challenge and Support Group. This is an awesome group consisting of five teams all competing in a friendly weight loss competition. Each team has 35 - 40 challengers, it's own team chat room, and a spreadsheet for tracking your weights each week. The group has weekly GROUP CHALLENGES and MODERATOR CHALLENGES and has many extra side team challenges as well as some ongoing step challenges. All challenges are strictly optional, participate in the ones you want - skip the ones that do not interest you.

    This is a really fantastic group for making friends, gaining motivation and support, and making your weight loss fun...

    Stop in and check us out! Feel free to pop in to any of our team threads and say hello, ask people questions, see what we have going on. When you are ready, you can sign up using the second link [below]...

    This internal-team-chatroom support / team vs team challenges setup has been a great combo for me - kept me strong for the past 5 months now.

    Hello Everyone Greg here one of the team Captains for the hold on were coming, wait for it, yuppers here it is
    THE WORKOUT WARRIORS Yuppers we are one of the great teams you'll find here at the
    FAT 2 FIT CHALLENGE
    I join here shortly after I had a huge infection attack my gut and I wound up with Short Gut Syndrome and a full permanent High Output IleOstomy. Dammm that was fun....Not!!
    This challenge has helped me loose weigh, get in better physical shape, meet a ton of new friends that have the same goal as me. All of my teammates on all of the teams support me when Shadow ( my name for my Stoma) goes south and even when I am having a bad day. We support one another through thick and thin, good days and bad days, rain,snow,sleet or hail we got your back Jack.
    What you'll get out of this challenge is exactly what you put into it. It's the coolest place to be if your serious about losing weight and getting back in shape.
    SO JUMP ON IN THE WATER IS WARM, THE FRIENDSHIPS AND COMRADE IS TO DIE FOR SO WHAT ARE WAITING FOR
    BEST OF ALL YOU GOT A ONE IN FIVE CHANCE OF BEING A WORKOUT WARRIOR.

    I love this challenge and encourage anyone to join! I've lost 7 lbs so far this month and it's because of the support and motivation I receive from my team. :)
