edited October 12 in Motivation and Support
Sign ups are OPEN until September 5th, then we will move our "group" to another topic post.

To sign up, reply to this post with:

Your starting weight for September
Your personal goal for September
Your personal self-challenge for September

Then, come back here every week when you weigh in and update us! Feel free to chat on the board too. This is just to help us be accountable to someone. :-)

Your "personal self-challenge" can be ANYTHING. It doesn't have to be weight-loss-related.

For example, here is my "sign up" post:

SW as of 08/26 (my last weigh in for August): 214.6
Goal for September: 206
Self-Challenge: Weigh only on Fridays, not everyday!

Good luck!

    I would like to join! My start weight is 158. I would like to be down to 150 by the end of September! My personal challenge is to jog at least a 10 minute mile every day, 7 days a week, on top of my usual walking & jogging. By the end of the month my goal is to run a mile @ 7mph. Also, to fit my small work pants comfortably (I return to work from Maternity leave mid-November).
