*IF YOU HAVE JOINED YOU SHOULD!*

Whoohooo Finally got a challenge name.... So heres how this works.... since I want to make this fun for everyone and comfortable for everyone....



How the challenge will work:



This is going to to be a 4 week challenge. There will be two teams ( two team captains - even teams) at the end of each week the teams will report to their captains their lose or gain. At the end of 4 weeks the team with the highest lose wins the challenge. If this goes off with a hit im gonna try and think of rewards. But lets give this one a go 1st.



Guidelines:



1. Starting Day - Everyone will announce their SW so that I can start a chart for loss and gains. (If you do not feel comfortable about telling your weight that is fine, you can just give me your current lose, I want you to feel comfortable.)

2. Team - You must and I mean must help keep your team motivated, be it a small chit chat or encouraging photos on the board and you can not discourage the other team. (alittle friendly banter is fine but no down putting others)

3. DO NOT LIE ABOUT GAINS OR LOSES its ok if you gain, its not something that will happen over one night its a life change, and your loses do not lie it wont make you feel better if you really didnt lose that much.





Also please on the board write your story of why you decided to make this life change.... your story can encourage another. If you would like to put your SW CW and GW by all means feel free :)



Can't wait to get this started...



GOOD LUCK AND MUST OF ALL HAVE FUN!

    A little background....I'm 28 years old and have what quite possibly could be the cutest little boy in the world who will be two on the 1st. I joined MFP close to a year ago but didn't do much with it until I found out that my Aunts were on and losing weight successfully. Got back on in June with my highest weight (except when prego) of 171. I currently weigh 147. My goal was 130 when I started, but my it's about 120/125. We'll see where I'm comfortable. Happy to meet you all!

    s.w - 269 lbs (August 2011)
    c.w - 251 lbs
    g.w - 210 lbs

    I am 25 yo. I have a really bad lower back (injured during college football) and I was told by my doctor to cut the weight. I just want to be healthier in general to be honest.

    I want in! I actually just joined mfp today, just in the knick of time. I'm 28 and 5'7

    SW:248
    CW: 223
    GW: 160

    My story, hmmm.... the short version is that I'm a 28 yo mother of 3, a single and a double=). I joined mfp because although I've lost some, I'm getting tired of the constant struggle. I'm continuing to research and find what is the best way to live for the rest of my life and be healthy. I'm working hard and won't give up. I'm excited for this.

    Good luck to all
