@PeaceQT18 I would definitely consider 17 pounds in 4 weeks an amazing loss!1

I'm new to this challenge as well. Looking to drop around 50lb, only 15 of which is baby weight. I have a 9 month old and now weigh more than I did when I gave birth. As a breastfeeding mom, I have to eat more calories in order to feed my baby, but that doesn't mean I can't be smart about it, or work out!! Currently at 265#!!!
I like Smart Goals
S-specific- #50 in 6 months
M- measurable-averages a weekly loss of 1.66 lb a week
A- attainable- I've heard of people loosing as much as 2 lb a wool
R- realistic- this loss would bring me to the edge of a Healthy BIN
T-timebound- 6 months is a long time, but I can measure my progress in weeks. (Nov 20, is 6 months from when I made my goal)2 -
I’m new to the MFP community and not sure I am posting my introduction to the June UAC correctly. Hoping not to embarrass myself. I am up for the challenge and if I can figure out how post and reply to the group I’m in.2

Good morning everyone! I’m excited to join this group today. I’m Linda, I’m getting ready to turn 56 and I am from Virginia. I need to lose at least 30 pounds and get my health back on track. I used to be on MFP all the time and was really good at tracking all my food. I’m a mom of 5 and grandma to 9...I have been putting everyone else and their needs ahead of my own health for way too long! I have had a really rough time since losing my dad last August. Dealing with severe depression, new major health issues, and a new grandbaby that lives with us, means that I need to get back on track immediately and I need the support of a group like this. Looking forward to meeting everyone and making some new friends and being part of the family

Hi everyone. I'm new to the group and cautiously optimistic. In the past I've found that participating in challenges and logging my calories/exercise regularly has been the most effective way for me to lose weight. However, it comes back on so easily when I stop checking in, which is why I think this challenge will be useful for me. I am currently at my heaviest weight ever and going through a low point in my life. I have about 100 pounds to lose and while I know that the time is overdue to make some big changes, I always find myself motivated for a few days and then give up as soon as someone waves some ice cream in front of my face or I just feel too tired to stick with it. I'm really hoping this group will help me find some like-minded people to connect with so we can support & encourage each other and will help me stay motivated and determined long enough to see some changes. If you want an accountability buddy to check in with outside of the challenge, please add me! The more the better!2

Hi everyone,
I’m new to this challenge! I’ve put on 3 pounds in the last two months and I’m looking to lose about 5-10. It’s not a lot, but for me, the maintenance in healthy eating is what I find most challenging. Even more than the healthy eating, I am looking to achieve my fitness goals—I want to workout 3-4 times per week and become toned. I’m 26, 5’1”, and 153 pounds. I wear a size 6 and I’m actually the “smallest” I’ve ever been in my twenties. I’m happy with how I look but I really am looking for an accountability partner to help me achieve these goals and maintain my progress!

Hello!
This is my first time here and this is EXACTLY what I need! If I'm not incredibly OCD with my calories and fitness, I simply "forget" that I'm working towards being healthy.
I'm 28, 5'5'' and currently 231.8. I did a re-set on May 21st and I've lost 4 pounds since then.
I'm looking to lose a total of 80 pounds so a final goal of 155 pounds which will put me right in the healthy weight range for my height.
I just got married in March and my husband has the worst eating habits. I really need to focus on not following suit because it's already showing in the way my clothes fit after only 2 months.0 -
Hello!
My name is Eri, and I’m a college student 5”0 trying to get to 100 lb this summer.
More than that though, I’m trying to develop a healthier lifestyle - better eating habits so I don’t have to think about food all the time
and instead focus on studying, and work on fitness, since it’s all about feeling comfortable in your own body right?
I’m all for being happy
Feel free to add me as a friend, we can do this together! 1 -
Hi everyone,
I'm Mel and I live in the UK. I have recently turned 49 and I am determined not to be fat at 50! I would like to lose around 20 pounds and get generally fitter. I have been a yo-yo dieter for years, so I know what I need to do to slim down, but I get complacent and struggle to maintain it. Being more accountable will definitely help me avoid 'cheating' and 'forgetting' those snacks that seem to fall into my mouth so easily! We have recently got a puppy which I am hoping will keep me on a more active path. I am good when I get into a routine, but when the routine slips it all goes a bit 'pear shaped'. `i'm really looking forward to the support and motivation.3 -
Hi Everyone!
I'm hoping to make a lifestyle change because my eating is getting out of control. I'm currently 147lbs at 5'0" and I'm hoping to get down to 115lbs by the end of December. I also start school in August, so I'm hoping to get healthy habits before then and at least kick off my weight loss. My goal is to lose at least 1lb/week, and I'm going out of the country at the end of join, so won't make it in the winner's circle, but I'm really excited to start and hopefully this challenge will keep me accountable so I start to make more healthy choices!!2 -
New to the challenge! I'm one of those people who track then stop and I really want to track consistently.3
