in Motivation and Support
For the past 2 months I managed the September Shred & The Loss-tober Fest Challenges. It was a great experience! Lots of weight lost on our team so I'm looking to do it again this month! I'm looking for about 20 MFPs to join us in trying to lose 10 pounds in November (or a percentage of their weight loss goal - 10 pouns is a lot I know!). Most people didn't lose 10 but it was still a great experience. Our weigh in day is Friday (if you weigh in on another day just let me know). We will have nutritional and exercise challenges each week to aid in losing those 10 pounds. You must be willing to support your teammates by just being an active mfp! I'll take the first 20 mfps who think they can dedicate themselves to one month of ramping it up to burn off those pounds. Send me a friend request or private message with your November starting weight and I'll set up a spread sheet to track our data and create a new thread for us to chat on!! Oh we need a catchy name for the month and I created a banner graphic for sept and oct and will do it again for this month so let me know if you have any ideas!

    I've been afraid to get on the scales lately, and tonight would be too frightening even for Halloween :) I'll weigh in the A.M. and post then. Thanks for starting this group:flowerforyou:

    *pending a weigh in :)

    I will check again in the morning (if I'm awake enough) before work.... if not I'll try to check in at lunch :)

    We need a name.... no clue what to call us so any ideas are welcome... thinking of something to do with thanksgiving...

    WEEK 1 CHALLENGE!!!

    This week's challenge is to create a plan for the month... Some people already have plans and that's great! If not think about what you have been doing ... what has worked and what hasn't and create a basic outline of what you want to do this month.... If you haven't been exercising at all be sure to start trying to work something in even if it is only walking for a few minutes at a time. Post your plan so others can get ideas for things to include in their plan. As for nutrition... I'm going to start with what has turned out to be the hardest thing for people (including myself) to do.... DRINK 8 glasses of water for the remaining 3 days this week!

    I'd like to join. I'm doing 30DS for the next month and will probably need the extra support to stick with it. I am also still figuring out how to manage my food so any extra accountability and support is great.

    I'll get my starting weight tomorrow and message you.
