    It is great to see some of you already entering your challenges and goals on the spread sheet. We will all work through this together. I am excited for Oct 3.

    Question about the database. It asks for a long term goal, and a short term challenge goal. How long is this challenge running, exactly? Just October?

    To answer your question, the long term goal is the weight you want to be when you are done and the short term goals are for each week. I am hoping to continue this every month. I will have a new spread sheet for each month. I hope that helps.

    I thought it would be nice if everbody writes a bit of themselves.

    My name is Katharina, I'm 27 years old and mother of a 3years old son. I live in Hamburg Germany and I began my journey at 28.8.2011. I wnat to loose weight , because i don't like what I see. i don't want to be just a boring mummy, I want to fell atractive and fit.
    I already noticed mayor changes in my behaviour and I#m a lot more active. And the best is: I really like it. It is as if I wasn't alive for years. I want to loose 50 kg/100lbs.

    Only 6 days til our first weigh-in!!!!

    That is a great idea Katharina. I am 44 years old, married 23 years, and have 2 sons (21 & 18). I started my weight loss journey Sept of last year hopefully for the last time. I have struggled with my weight all my life and have lost and regained the same 10-50 lbs countless times. I have finally realized that it is a lifestyle change that I had to make to succeed. I am addicted to this site and it has been a major part of my success. I look forward to getting to know everybody, helping you through struggles, and celebrating your successes.

    Good luck to everybody.

    Great idea!

    I'm 27 (28 in December) and I've been married for 9 years to my high school sweetheart. We have an 8 year old son and a 6 year old daughter and live in MS. For me, this is a return to an active lifestyle.

    I first became passionate about health and fitness in 2006, and I lost around 50lbs and maintained that loss for several years. In the last year or two, I've allowed stress, work & family obligations, and my struggle with depression and anxiety lead to binge eating and cutting out exercise. I'm trying to repair the damage I've done to myself!

    Welcome to the group Betterbalance. I am super excited to get going with this. Only 5 more days.

    There is still lots of room for anybody that wants a friendly competition that keeps you accountable and gives a little push :wink: on a weekly and monthly basis.

    I will be added in some daily food and exercise challenges so stay tuned. ;)

    Welcome to Everybody. Tomorrow is October 3rd and the start of "Life's New Journey October Challenge" Hopefully you all got your email. I am super excited!!! One thing I forget to say in the email is that if you want to change your name in the first column to your actual first name instead of your mfp name then by all means go ahead. It makes things a little more personal. If you have any questions please let me know.

    If there is anybody else that would like to join in send me a message and I'll add you.

    Happy Journey and Keep Smiling :smile:

    Hi I'm Amanda! I am 25 years old married to my husband Chris of almost 5 years. We have a 3 year old daughter who is the light of my life. I was diagnosed with Hasimotos last September and had my thyroid removed May of this year. I was also diagnosed with Papillary carcinoma in June but all is well now. So now weightloss is a little harder but I just need to stay motivated and push forward. I'm trying to change my whole way of thinking about food.
