    we should start a group instead of using the forum so everyone can look it up and record and motivate and keep in touch with what we are doing! I have never started one before, but I would be more than happy to! I think we need a fun name though, any ideas!?!?

    Think by the end of May I can reach the 160 mark? What is a realistic goal?


    there is a 4% Challange going on too..... Here are numbers, I have found somewhere between 3%-4% seem realistic :)

    Realistic 3% drop each month
    end of every month
    180.0 5.4 174.6 April
    174.6 5.2 169.4 May
    169.4 5.1 164.3 June
    164.3 4.9 159.4 July
    159.4 4.8 154.6 Aug

    Realistic 4% drop each month
    end of every month
    180.0 7.2 172.8 April
    172.8 6.9 165.9 May
    165.9 6.6 159.3 June
    159.3 6.4 152.9 July
    152.9 6.1 146.8 Aug


    My goal is the 4%.... good luck to all
    The first column is the beginning weight, the second is either 3% or 4%, and the last is what you would see at the end of the month.... I think by summer, I would be pleasantly surprised if I can stick to the challange!! Good Luck to All !!

    Been in the 180s it seems like forever now. But what exactly is the challenge?


    The challenge is to work harder to be the FIRST to make the 160lbs mark.
    No rules JUST BE THE FIRST.

    New to MFP.. I would love to join. I started of at 178?? but really close to hitting the 180 mark am only 5 feet tall so that to me was alot of me to carry .. I was off of work for 7moths now am back and here they have to take a phyisical. At that time which was 2monthsago I weighed in at 175.4. So I finally had a physical done at my doctors office 2wks age and I am at a current weight of 170. I would love to join in on the fun..

    I'm180, trying to get to 165. I've been here before and it is tough as heck for me to get out of the 180's, The first 8lbs was easy, this is where my real challenge begins!

    I think that realistically one pound a week is a good goal ... anything more than that is just a bonus. Crash dieting might get the weight off quicker but it will probably come right back on - plus it's not healthy! Good luck!

    No no no crash dieting! The purpose of this group is for those of us who are not working hard ENOUGH so please people
    DO IT THE HEALTHY WAY!!!

    Maybe we should make this a "First to lose 20 lbs" challenge - since we're all starting out at slightly different weights?? I've only been losing a pound a week so these people who are starting out in the high 170s have over a months head start! :wink:
