I joined a similar group/ challenge before. I was more motivated than ever, had my longest streak of logging in, got pregnant, put it on hold... miscarried, been eating everything and tracking nothing ever since. Grief is a beotch but I'm no quitter. Time to get back to my lovely, supportive MFP peeps. Its 5 lbs a month, during holiday season. Who's with me?
How it works: just check in as often as you want to stay accountable. What's working, what isn't, current goals, pep talk, etc.

I'm in!!! I'm down 20lbs so far with a goal of 70 more to go!! Keeping calorie intake in check has been the biggest help. I didn't think "I ate that much" until I started tracking and saw how much that really was 😲24

My goal is 35 lbs by april first ... so I think 29 by Feb first is right in line with my planned trajectory.12

After October (where I’m hoping for -6.5 lbs) 5 lbs a month is my main goal. I’m hoping that by focusing on small monthly goals I will finally make it to my goal weight!10

I guess what I can do is start off by meal prepping. I have all the ingredients but I haven’t made the meals yet. Maybe tonight! I’ll post a photo when finished 😊10

Finished!
6 dinners - sweet potatoes and black bean bowls

I could use some support and account ability so I'm in. I have IBS and various food intolerances (yawn) as well as eating a mainly vegan diet but my portion sizes are too big and I LOVE crisps.
I'm wanting to get rid of 28lbs with 14lbs gone by Christmas for a wedding I'm a bridesmaid at.
Are we just checking in on this thread semi regularly?6 -

Are you not able to stop for drinks during classes?0 -
I've been using this (as well as logging here) to give me a visual representation of what I've lost or gained each week if it's of any help to anyone

I’m in! I’m 5’ 2”, CW:153, GW:130, so this is perfect for me. I think the holidays are SO hard but we can’t let that slow down our progress. Let’s keep each other accountable, great idea

I think my fist will be adding cardio. I even fell off the walking wagon...and the rainy season is here. So, I need motivation for that. I know from experience I get better results.

That's the plan I guess. That's what people have done on similar challenges. Weighing in weekly if you want to1
