Hi team! My name is Lynda and I'm really excited to be here.
I've been using mfp for three months and have found that being part of a team inspires me and helps keep me motivated and disciplined.
Looking forward to meeting you. 😀1 -
Hi guys! I've been doing my best to lose weight and suddenly remembered that I signed up here years ago but had forgotten about it.
Looking forward to being part of a team of losers!3 -
Hi team! I've just started using MFP because I wanted to be more accountable for what's going in my tummy.
I've lost around 2.5 stone on my own so far (35lbs) but I have a loooooooooot more to go so welcome the community aspect of these fora.
I've been doing the couch to 5k program and amdue to start week 5 tomorrow!
My starting weight for this challenge is 19st 6.3lbs (273.3lbs) and I so want to bust my butt to lose a stone /14lbs by the end!3 -
@LyndaBSS Welcome to the team! I had a slip-up mid-August, but being a part of the team was one reason I jumped back in.
@Magickxxx Tracking is key for me, glad you found the app again! And glad you found our team!
@jupollock Thanks for translating a stone for me! 14lbs is a tall order, but it looks like you have a plan! Welcome to the team!3 -
Hi all I'm
Kate, kilobykilo, and havent given this challenge the time it deserves in sept..... but, will be back in october with a bang!1 -
Hello. I'm so happy to be part of this team. I am pre-diabetic and spent all of 2018 going through a DPP Class (Diabetes Prevention Program). Logged all meals and workouts in MFP and had to print and turn in for DPP. Lost 26 pounds. 2019 overtime I have stopped logging meals but do log workouts and now up 6 pounds. Still below my DPP goal weight but getting too close for comfort.0

@kilobykilo Me too! Glad to have someone to recommit with!
@Kathie_GoGo Congrats on losing some weight. I have determined I will have to be a life long logger to maintain. Here's hoping you will find some accountability with our team WELCOME!1 -
Good Morning all.... I am the odd man out here, literally lol
Coming off injuries and separation. Would like to lose about 40 lbs then get back in competition shape. I was a competitive kickboxing before I tore my knee, ironically I got separated at the same time. A few years later I decided to do something about it and then got rear ended a month and a half ago. Realized my diet is 75% of my problem so here I am. Been watching calories the last week hard and was medically cleared last night to start training (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) starting Monday to see if I can use that to take the extra weight off my knee. My goal weight for the end of the year is 225 lbs. Weighed in at 256.3lbs to start this challenge.3 -
Hey, all. Back for my second run. Did well last month. Down 26 pounds since July 28th. Here to making October another good one.4

@Kathie_GoGo welcome to the team and well done on your loss. I've become hit and miss with food logging and am going to recommit to log in october every day so I dont start kidding myself.....
@Leebett let's make October awesome!
@heyjude0225 welcome and enjoy all the attention from us ladies! I have a dream to one day take up muay thai!
@angiesjourney you're doing amazingly well! I was a rubbish motivation buddy with too much going on outside of mfp, but that didn't stop you rocking!0 -

Thanks! Muay Thai is what I actually trained when I competed as a kickboxer. I miss it a lot. Once I shed 40 lbs I'm going to attempt to return to it.0 -

Weigh in week: October week 1
Weigh in day: Sunday
Previous Week's weight: 272.3lb (22 Sept)
Todays Weight: 267lb (29 Sept)

@jupollock great first loss, well done!
@heyjude0225 my ultimate goal prize to myself might just be a trip to a muay thai camp in Thailand...... why not dream big?!
Sunday morning, up earlier than I'd like but going to use the morning to clean my flat and plan my week before some sunshine time later 0 -
Hey all newbies!!
I'm a 37 year old busy mum with a lot going on at the moment. I've been on MFP since February and lost 40 lbs but since June I've lost my mojo and been losing/gaining the same 2 lbs.
I've let the team down last month by being absent a lot of the time (I'm co-captain, cheering squad) but I'm hoping this month will be better.
@johicks, our captain, is in charge of all admin but she's been MIA for a couple of weeks, so I'll fill in as best as I can. Anyone familiar with the admin side of things is welcome to chip in (I'm still learning)
Welcome old and new members! Let's make October count!3 -
@kilobykilo thank you. I've started meal tracking again. 2 days in a row Also joined "October Unprocessed" Facebook group. Theses 2 challenges should help me get back on track.

HELLO TEAM!
WELCOME TO OCTOBER 2019!
As taking part in this challenge your only requirement is to weigh in weekly. Please post your weight on your scheduled weigh-in day, as if you miss weigh-ins, you may be eliminated from the challenge and we don't want to see that happen!! Please set-up your posts in the format below as it really makes it much easier to see your post to track properly.
Your weekly weigh-in posts should look like this:
Username: johicks
Week: Sunday, August Week 5 (8/25)
PW: 248.4
CW: 248.0
below are optional
One thing I did well: - optional
One thing to improve: - optional
...to make it easier, copy and paste from week to week.
*PW = previous weight, for week #1 it is your starting weight (SW)
*CW = current weightAlso optional is taking part in the daily mini-challenge. v (see the next post) v1 -
We are also going to continue with an optional Mini-Challenge this month somewhat based on “Daily Post for Ultimate Accountability.” First and foremost is that participation in the mini-challenge is optional. It's up to you as to whether you want to try this, the choice is yours. I encourage you to participate as it seems to help keep us on track and think about our habits /goals on a daily basis. It's encouraging to see other's successes and struggles so that we realize that we are not alone!!
Our RTM Daily Posts Challenge follow these basic rules:- #1. Track EVERYTHING you eat that has calories.
- #2. Stay inside your allocated daily budget.
- #3. Try to do at least 20 minutes of activity a day (anything: walk, run, cycle, swim, gardening, housework, yoga, gym, etc.. As long as it gets you active and off the couch)
- #4. Check-in daily (tracking yes/no, calories yes/no, exercise yes/no).
- #5. Work towards healthier habits (you choose: increase water, journaling, self-care, overall wellness)
**REMEMBER**
-You set your own daily budget.
-You choose your own exercise and intensity (no step limit, no exercises you cannot or should not do, 20 mins of gardening counts as much as a 10-mile run.)
-It is not weight-based (as weight fluctuates day by day).
-Daily check-in keeps you in touch with those doing similar. Longer-term weight management is hard to do on your own.
Your optional mini-challenge posts should look like this:
Daily Post (Sunday)
Track: Yes/no
Calories: Yes/no (under /over)
Exercise: Yes/no (what type and how long)
Healthier habits: (you choose: a variety of exercise, increase water, journaling, affirmations, self-care, positive self-talk, being kind to yourself, positive outlook, overall wellness, morning routine, night routine)
Goals or Day: (Share a brief description about you, your day, your goals for the day, whatever you want)

For the time being, I'll be keeping up with the admin (unless I have a returning member who'd like to volunteer). It will be really helpful to me if you format your posts like the above since that is what I'll be looking for. If you have any questions, please tag me!
Welcome to October and make it a great month!!1 -

One thing I did well: I (slowly) got back on track after a previous weekend of indulgence.
One thing to improve: exercise!
Hi everyone. I’ve been on this team since late Spring and it has really helped me stay focused and on track! I’ve lost close to 35 pounds in this challenge and am striving to hit one-derland by Christmas. But if I don’t, as long as things are moving in the right direction I will be happy. It’s a marathon not a sprint! Glad to see you all here!7 -
