    Going for 5. Doesn’t sound like a ton but it is for my current weight/height. Trust me, took me 10 months just to lose 10 pounds!

    Count me in - I have no friends and I am starting tomorrow - I tried doing Keto and that was just not me. So now I am trying to change one thing at a time and do this slowly and make forever changes. Might not be the right way but I have 100 pounds to lose and I do nothing but fail, so here I am trying for the 20th time. Please add me
    , I would so appreciate it.

  • I’m def down for this!
    I started working back out and have been feeling lean as of late, def want to shred my core, but also adding some mass and strength. ADD ME looking to workout and TRAIN! Let’s Get RESULTS!!

    I've been meaning to jump on this. I'd love to join since this time of year is so tough for me (Halloween through Christmas is one big junk-food fest) and I've been steadily gaining already :( I hope this keeps me accountable, since my will power seems to have abandoned me and I'm STRUGGLING. I'm pretty short in stature so any extra tidbits of food makes a big difference on my frame :'( I'm hoping for a 5lb loss, (honestly 10 would be fab...) which makes a big difference at my height.

    Oct 1- 122.6

    Just wanted to wish everyone continued success on their Christmas Challenge. I've decided to leave MFP, as it's just as big of a cesspool of hate and misinformation as Twitter. Good luck, Everyone!

    I'd love to join - I need to lose at least 50 but 20 by Christmas/end of the year!

    I just wanted to welcome all the new folks. Don't forget to post your weight and prepare to learn a lot, get some support and have some fun! You can post once per week. It's easy to follow another posts guideline for the dates. If you wish to weigh on a different day and post, then that is also no problem. Please share with us how your week has went. Your challenges, your triumphs, your recipes, your ideas, your interesting websites etc. Share, share, share. We can learn from eachother!

    Feel like this week went better, not so many unhealthy foods in the house and starting to get used to my budget of calories. Good luck all!

    Very late joiner. Hope that is okay.
    10-20-18 161.2 Lost a lot of weight and have regained 51.2 lbs. While I would like to weigh 110 again, it may not be possible. I was down to 115 last year, but it is with constant dieting. Finding it hard to stick to anything right now.

    Starting late but hopefully I can catch up.
    10-21-18 218 lbs. This is my highest weight ever so I have got to make some major changes. Ideally I would like to get down to 160. For this week I will be focusing on not eating fast food and making better food choices as well as going for daily walks to reach 10,000 steps each day.
