😀 A warm welcome all new 1st timers to the challenges and hi again to those returning for another month, another year😀

I joined back in September of 2021, which was my first month back on MFP. In 7 months, I've lost 36 pounds and use this challenge as motivation to stay on track. It is nice to have a medium-term goal that gets broken down into manageable chunks.

Pick your own goal, check in once per week and at the very end of the month. Let's keep encouraging each other & staying focused on our individual goals.

You can change the dates to suit you, but try to keep it weekly as it shows off the weekly progress better😀

Pick how you want to weigh as in lbs kg’s or stones

Feel free to copy & paste the chart.

For those unsure how to do your weekly weight input
When you want to do your weekly update do a search for your original post, copy and paste as a new post in the add post box then you can edit in your new weekly weight, hope this helps

It’s not a race go at your on pace, imagine where you could be in 6 months time!😀

Good luck guys and have fun 😀😀

    Hi everyone, I’m soooo close to goal weight, but I was here before and let maintenance creep and vacation gains happen. Have really found a lifestyle that seems to be working and will be (hopefully) easy to maintain after I back off trying to lose any more weight and just see where I land while sticking with my plan.

    @enlightenme3

    Thanks for picking up this challenge and running with it.

    I remember when @sassbag took it over. Thanks for keeping it running month after month. I hope we still see you participate even if you don't put the monthly announcement up.

    I wish success on everyone!

    I usually only post on Saturdays, but what the heck; Today the scale said 149.2, down 1.2 for the week. The ten day average is 150.5 which is exactly the same as last week. I'll probably go ahead and post tomorrow as normal, but mostly wanted to come say thanks to the individuals who make this challenge go every single month!

    I just found this challenge, so let's give it a go!

    I'm Lisa. Originally from Northern California but living in London. I'm 43, 6'1" tall and getting into cycling. Highest weight is probably 157ish kilos. I'm starting this challenge at 147.5kg and would love to get to the low 140s by the end of the month. Target weight is the max weight limit for a lot of the things I want to try (like sky diving) which tends to be about 100kg.

    1st April: 147.5kg

    Hi I'm Michele, just turned 56. Live in Belmont, Michigan. Thank you for this challenge! I need some accountability!
    My ultimate weight goal is 150.
    I did Fitbody boot camp for almost 5 years but as you age you need a change.
    Now doing pilates on a reformer at Club Pilates and absolutely love it. So does my back and joints!
    Good luck to all!❤️
