    I am joining with 4% being 11.56 lbs total. That seems like an awful lot for one month but I will give it my best. This is my first week on the program so I am excited to see where this leads
  • I'm excited to do this... but have a question since I haven't participated in a challenge before... do I just come back to this thread to post every week, is there a way to "save it" so I can find it each time? Thanks!

    Hi there, when you log onto MFP, on a PC, on your homepage to the left will be message boards tab. Click this and from there go to 'my topics' tab and your recent topics you've replied will be listed or on your profile page at the bottom will show all your responses. Hope this helps.
  • Thanks so much.... I knew there was a way! Can't wait... I've been up and down with the same 5 lbs for awhile now so I'm excited for the challenge and motivation! Thanks :)
