πŸ˜€ Welcome all new first timers to this challenge and "Hello again" to those returning for another month, another year, another round. πŸ˜€

I joined back in September of 2021, which was my first month back on MFP. In the first 9 months, I lost 40 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 betterπŸ˜€

Pick whatever unit suits you -- lbs, kg’s or stones.

Feel free to copy & paste the chart:

February Start Weight:
February Goal Weight:
Ultimate Goal Weight:

February 1:
February 8:
February 15:
February 22:
February 29:
(Leap year!)



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. A lot of people also maintain their post in a notes application on their device and just cut and paste into a new post.

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

Best of luck to everyone - have fun! πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    @HaCee75 Welcome! I joined MFP in August 2018 at 264 pounds. My highest weight in mid August 2017 was 311 pounds, in the hospital. This is a great challenge. I joined in October 2022 at 243.4 pounds. Best decision ever. So many times I wanted to give up, but I kept going! Again welcome and best wishes!

    P.S. I am the one on the right in the black leather jacket.

    Good morning, MFP folks :)
    About me: 41/F/5'7
    February Start Weight: 260
    February Goal Weight: 255
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 185

    January weight loss: 5.4 lbs

    February 1: 260. Looking forward to this weekend--the rain is supposed to slack up just enough during my one-day getaway to do some beachcombing. Also my skates will be here tomorrow and I can't wait. I don't think my health insurance is good enough for me to join the derby (I am GREAT at getting hurt πŸ˜‚) but it will be fun to teach myself to skate backwards :)
