in Motivation and Support
Hiiii everyone! I've been in a group before, and it helped me so much in my struggle to lose my first 30lbs, but I ended up losing touch and now I want to get into something new and fresh! Motivation has always been my biggest struggle, but I have 25 more pounds that I want to lose, and I'd love to help others in their struggles! I'm pretty laid back, but I will provide weekly challenges and will come down hard on people who don't contribute. Anyone whoes interested in joining, please post something here and I'll try to get something organize to start Monday! Thanks :)

    I'm always looking for motivation! Currently I'm doing the P90X program, so most likely I won't be doing any challenges, but I think it'd be fun to stay in touch :)

    Hey, hey! :) I don't want to lose as many as 25lb, I'm looking more at 10-15lb, but still, I'd love to join this group, if I'm welcome! Can't turn down anything that'd help me pick up the motivation. :)

    I'm in to, not been apart of a group before but love the idea behind it. I have 7lbs to lose by 15th August and my fitness instructor is due to be away for over a week meaning I miss 7 classes!! Need motivation to get moving with something else! Thanks for getting this going!

    I'm in - I need something like this to get me back on track and motivated! I have 20lbs to go to get to my goal weight and I want to be there by Christmas - 23 weeks to lose 20lbs - should be achievable even for someone like me who likes her food too much and gets distracted way too easily!

    It would be good to be in a group - gain motivation from others and hopefully provide some motivation of my own to others.

    I am interested in joining. I need the "boot camp/ drill sergeant" type of motivation to help me keep me accountable. So, I am up for the challenge.

    I'm in :-) I would love the support and motivation of a group! I just joined MFP and would love to lose about 20lbs. I have previously lost 10 on a different diet but am looking to try this approach. Lets help and motivate and challenges would be great!

    So, I've had a mixed weekend so far! Husband was away on Friday night - this is usually a cue for me to eat far too much of the wrong things whilst watching rubbish on tv! However, did well on Friday - 45 mins on the cross trainer, lots of fruit and water and felt good. Ruined it all yesterday with a tube of pringles and some dip....sigh! But back on track today - another session on the cross trainer and all my food planned out for the day. I can do this:wink:

    Looking forward to the group commencing properly on Monday - how's everyone else getting on?

    In the group I participated in before, we would have weekly challenges that were on a honor system basis. They could consist of anything like completing 20 push ups a day (in a weekly span) to team calorie burning competitions (depending on how many people get involved). Basically the challenges are meant to ensure that everyone is participating in the group, staying active, and supplementing whatever other workout that you are currently using. I want to create the group by tomorrow, so this would be the last day to decide whether or not people would like to get involved.

    ALSO, we need a name for the group, so I am open to suggestions! Thank you :)

    Well, I would be making a group for our cause...so if you joined the group all you would have to do is select the group tabs under the community tab and take a look at the groups you are already involved in. In order to get back to this thread, you would select the community tab, the message board tab, and then "My Topics," and it'll show every thread you've ever participated in.

    An easier way (I think) is just go to your own profile page...scroll down and look at the section underneath where it lists your friends...should be Recent Forum Activity. You can "Show All" to get all of your forum posts/topics.

    I'm in for sure...

    I would be interested in this. I go on vacation for a week starting the 28th, so I will be kinda MIA for that week, but other than that, I am in!
