OK, now's the time to see if we've made any progress. At the beginning of the group, I posted that this challenge was coming, so that we could get starting numbers. Now to get finishing numbers, and see how far we've come. This summer, I ran a 5k in 34 minutes. On Saturday, I will run another 5k. I'll post my new time…

Week #8 Weigh-in
I disappeared the last couple weeks. I had given up a bit on this challenge, but today I decided that was not acceptable, especially since I am the moderator and all. These last few weeks have been challenging. I started a new job that takes a ton of prep, and my lo has not been napping at daycare, so I haven't been able…

Week #8 Challenge
Get some accountability! Whether its logging your food, posting your weekly weigh-in, or working out with a friend, it's a proven fact that success is more likely with some accountability. I know I could use some. For those of you still around, thank you for staying strong, even when I didn't!

Week #5 Weigh-in
I thought I'd get this started early since I know some of you weigh in on Fridays. It seems we are dwindling fast, which I find a bit discouraging. How are you doing? Are you going the right direction? How can we help motivate and support you?

Challenge #5
This is another idea that I got from my challenge thread. Let's make this fun. Get some exercise the same way you did as a child, whether the hoola hoop, climbing a tree, or playing tag. Have fun. Post a pic, or tell what you did. I thought it might help if the challenge and the weigh-in numbers matched. It seems people…

Challenge #2
Find a friend or more, For most people accountability and motivational support go a long way with weight loss. This week's challenge is to work together. Having looked at the workout thread, I know many of us are doing similar things. Whether you've been doing it for years, or are just getting started having people and a…

Welcome and introduction
Hi, I joined MFP Jan 1, 2013. Its been a slow journey, but I am headed in the right direction. I tried going at it on my own and only lost a few lbs in 2 months, so I decided to come back. I really need the accountability of weigh-ins and challenges. I couldn't find a group to meet my needs, so I made one. Introduce…

The first challenge is this: Post 1-3 goals you can achieve by the end of 12 weeks that you want others to help hold you accountable to. Then post 1-2 goals for the week. At least one of them should be…
