in Motivation and Support
The Sixers are a group of MFPers who join together to do six week challenges (hence the nickname 'Sixers'!).

Our next challenge begins Tuesday, October 26th. INITIAL WEIGH IN.

We set our goals based on the weight we want to lose in the next six weeks. It can be any number you choose. If asked, we'd recommend aiming for 10%-15% of your total weight left to lose. For some, this is too much, and for some this is too small. Again, it's YOUR goal. We are here to encourage you!

We officially weigh in every Tuesday, updating our list. (You'll see the list when we start the next challenge. It's your name, Start Weight, Goal Weight, Current Weight, and +/- lbs. Very simple to follow.) We unofficially weigh in on Fridays (optional).

If you are looking for a group for accountability and support, come join us!!! :flowerforyou:

    I would love to be a part of this. I've been on here for a month, I'm doing great, but I think it's time to set some concrete short term goals. What a great group!

    I'm in. I have about 5 weeks until my 35th, which has been my own personal goal, but some support would be awesome!

    I just joined MFP today after losing 50 pounds on another weight loss site and then hitting a rough spot and gaining 17 back. That site has gone to crap so I am really glad I found this one!
