    I would love to join! I was doing really well for awhile, but now that things have gotten busier in my life, I'm struggling a bit - time for some motivation!

    Hi, jennmoore3! Thanks, for sure kilos will be easier for me! : )

    I'm really enjoying MFP, I think is going to help me get rid off a lot of extra pounds/kilos and will also help me practice some English!

    So excited!

    Hey Jenn! Thanks so much for opening a new thread...I'm a fellow Sizzler too, and I would love to join the October challenge! :)

    Yup I agree we should track our measurements around the waist, thighs, hips, arms and so on! Hope this will bring a new start for us to reach our goals and stay motivated! As for challenges, maybe we could do weekly challenges instead of daily? I found myself forgetting or missing quite a few daily challenges due to busy schedules, etc etc. Perhaps we could set a theme for the week, eg: Strength exercises, and we can share our favourite exercises with each other + try out new ones. Just a thought.

    Thanks again and am looking forward to a kick butt October! -Mabel.

    Mabel, good idea. I had issues forgetting the daily ones as well so how about like 5 weekly challenges. Believe me they will not be very hard lol. 2 can be something we news to get into the habit of doing and then something a bit harder. I'm on my phone now so I will have to re read your post when I get home.

    If everyone is ok with doing just weekly challenges, we will just do that. Some of us got super busy and had a hard time with the daily challenges.

    If you WANT something to shoot for daily let me know, and I will give you something to work for!


    Akemy, what do you usually speak? I would have never know that English wasn't your language on here. You type it well! You know how some people, you can tell they don't speak English by how they word things. I would love to try some recipe's from Brazil! I love trying new foods! I work in a hospital and one of the Doctors is Indian. he took our department to a REAL Indian restaurant, and boy was the food there wonderful! I took a take out menu and circles everything I tried on the buffet so I can remember what was awesome! LOL

    Mummy, you can join at any time! This is NOT going to close at all this month. I feel that when someone wants to join a group we look and most of them or all of them are closed, so it will stay open all month long for anyone who wants to jump in!

    You have been added to the list!

    O.K. here is the spreadsheet I came up with. If you are not doing the measurements, then I will just delete you from that section to make reading it easier. When you weigh in and do measurements, please let me know pounds/kilo and cm/inches. This way we can compare apples to apples so to speak.

    PLEASE let me know if this works!

    I have twin three year olds (boy/girl) and a five year old and I am from the north east part of Australia (tropical) in a tourist city called cairns.

    I am in my weight has been pretty much the same so I will use that it's 74.5 kg or 164 lbs as a general sometimes it's more sometimes less but it stays around there and that is what it was today.

    I can't be bothered taking measurements so weight will do for me. Looking forward to this month

    I will convert it for you but is it ok if I put in my update? It lets me see where I am compared to people using both. Actually thinking of putting the lbs in my signature so I can see.

    I also adore meeting new people I play a online video game on the nights where I veg out and have just made a friend from Greece (my first ever from there).
