    Welcome to MFP! :)

    I'm starting up a women's weight loss challenge. It starts April 14 and ends July 21. The reason why it doesn't start earlier is because I'm already participating in one run by someone else that ends April 7.

    Every participant will contribute a $10 gift card before the challenge begins. Weigh-ins will be every Saturday and it will be based on percentage so it's fair to everyone. Each week there will be a weekly winner who will receive one of the $10 gift cards. At the end of the challenge there will be a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place overall winner who will split the remaining gift cards (with 1st place getting the majority, etc.)

    There are 22 participants so far. If you're interested in participating just leave a comment or send me a message if you have any questions!

    Thanks!

    Hi Im Candace, and I was 150 last week but now I am down to 146-147 now. It has always been hard for me to get started when trying to lose weight, I used to hate working out but it is just one of those things that I know I gotta do if I want to lose weight. Then when I started to lose weight it was exciting to see the scale go down, thats my motivation now is I just want to see the number go down from the last time i stepped on. It's amazing to know that even though I sometimes despise doing whatever workout I chose to do that day, its going to make a difference and get me to my goal. Im hoping to lose at least another 15-20 lbs. nice to meet ya

    I forgot to add that I am 5'1. The things I have been doing lately is really a mixture of Wii Zumba, Leslie Sansone Walk at Home DVD's, walking with strength bands as well to help firm my arms. this past week I have started to go running in the evening around my block. I can't stick to one thing, I get bored really easy doing the same thing everyday. After this weekend I will begin a round of Turbo fire since I ahven't done that in a long time. As far as food goes, in february when i really focused on my weight I started out with weight watchers which I love, it works if you are consistant with it, but then 2 weeks ago because i absolutly had to get down to at least 146 by this weekend (im in the navy reserve and I have my physical test this weekend and I was past my maximum weight I could weigh in the Navy so I had to lose weight) I started atkins and while it sucked the first couple days I must say it has made me realize how little vegetables I was eating before and how much sugar I was consuming, but now that am am at my first goal weight I can slow down again and will probably go back to weight watchers, but haven't really decided yet.
