in Motivation and Support
Hi MFP :happy: We are a group called the FIT LIFE CHALLENGE. Our goal of course is to lose weight and be FIT or well on our way by New Years Day!!! This group was started a few weeks ago and the person who started it needed someone to take over for her. So Loredana, who I can't wait for you to meet, and myself are ready to keep the group alive!!

We are all about support and most important accountability!!! FIT LIFE CHALLENGE is looking for others to join us on this very important journey. We want people who are interested in checking in regularly, sharing struggles, successes, food finds and support. We are also very big on exercise!!!

It will be so great to make new friends support each other and have a successful holiday season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weigh in will be Friday and Loredana will chart our success and post on Monday. We have 8 weeks to go. Together we can do this!!!! Are you ready????

Have a Great Day and our favorite saying is.... "Make Good Choices" :bigsmile:

    Sounds great Judy, count me in. I am hoping that I can start the c25k again and 30 day shred. I had to stop the c25k cause I twisted my ankle and need to stay off it for at least a week.

    Hello everybody!
    First I wanted to thank Julie for starting this group few weeks ago and getting us rolling here. Judy and I will take over for the next 8 weeks and try to keep people motivated. The goals for everybody would be to log in for few minutes each day, log the food and share their stories if they have time. We ramble a lot around here, but this is what keeps us coming back - the feeling that we are in a community and we all have the same goals - get to be fit and healthy.

    Few housekeeping items:

    1. Even if you were a previous member, please reply again. This is a revamped group and we want to know who is still interested to give us their feedback.
    2. Friday (tomorrow) - give us your current weight and your goal at the end of the year. You can also add the measurements that you are interested in keeping track. Judy and I will chart the information.
    3. Please give us a real (or fake) first name and few details about yourself - where are you from, your age etc.. It is easier to keep track of a real person rather than a screen name.
    4. We will set 1-2 challenges for a couple of weeks at a time. We found that one week for a challenge is not really enough to absorb the task. Feel free to come up with suggestions - this is an open forum.
    5. We will eventually close this group at about 40 participants, so, if you want to join us for the next 8 weeks, don't hesitate!

    Hope to see as many of you here as possible!

    Best health,

    Loredana

    One quick note - if you want to find this forum again tomorrow, save the link in your Favorites. I think in the past we lost a lot of people on the way because they didn't know how to find the spot to write their updates ...

    Good luck :)

    Hey FIT LIFE Friends!!!!

    Looking forward to more friends coming on board. Post your weigh here tomorrow and alittle bit about yourself..name too. Please feel free to Friend me :bigsmile:

    I'm Judy ~ which I am sure you have figured out already :) I have been on the weight loss rollercoaster for years!!!! I am down about 35 from my very heaviest. I have about 7 more to lose to get to a good weight...however I really feel that I am in a great frame of mind and once I drop that 7# I feel like I could probably lose another 10 ish. This site has been a key to my success! I have been married for 24 years and have a 20yr old daughter and a 17 year old son. I work full time selling food!!!! Not good for losing weight, but I have been doing it for 16 years and I am not letting it get in my way!!!!

    3ricaAnn ~ We can totally help you with you C25K!!! I think Genny does the 30day shred. I have just started running and I'm not sure it's going to be my favorite form of exercise. But it burns the calories...I signed up for a running 101 class and I am up to running 12 mins. I never thought I could ever do that!!!! I go to the gym alot too on average 5 times a week of gym or running, hiking spin etc. It feels great. You can do it!

    Genny ~ Thanks for sharing!!!!! How fun snow!!!! I would love it if we could have seasons like that here in California!!!

    I have to go to a meeting...So I will be back first thing in the morning with my weight.

    Have a great night!!!
