Join the March Weight Loss Challenge to set your goal, track it, and meet it -- with the help of a supportive and encouraging group. All the goals will be compiled into a list. As each goal is met during the month, it gets turned RED in celebration.
I fell short of my goal for the first time (during a month while actively trying) last month, so I'm going to try for that same goal of 10 lbs again for March to see if I can still do it. If I fall short again this month, I may adjust to a new goal for April. But, for now, I'm going to try my best, and I am wishing everyone the best of luck this month!

Good morning!! Thank you gardenerjoy for the new thread!
Its nice to see so many familiar faces and new members as well!! I got way behind last month and then stopped posting all together. I am going to adjust my goal because they have not been attainable for me. I will set this months goal for 6 lbs.
Ophelia I am going to post my weights every day again, do you mind if I use your template? Also, we have about 1 week left in the diet bet!! How is it going for you? I am pretty sure that I will make it, but need to go to the website and read about the final weigh in rules to make sure I don't mess it up somehow!
I am so shy that I do not even feel comfortable posting in a forum. But it seems like everyone here is pretty nice, and I need to have some kind of accountability.
After growing up on unhealthy yo-yo diets, I was in pretty good shape for a while. Then I went through a divorce and remarried, and my weight ballooned up like crazy; I kept telling myself it was temporary but now it has been three years. It doesn't feel temporary anymore. It's like a nightmare. I used to literally wake up from nightmares where I had gained all the weight back. Well... now it's a reality.
I am miserable and so hard on myself. I refuse to buy new clothes and I can wear hardly anything that I own. I need to lose a lot of weight, and sometimes I feel like I am just completely incapable. I'm so disappointed in myself, and for the last year or so I've had a lot of failure in trying to retrain myself with good habits.
I've never joined a forum before, so I don't know all the posting etiquette. But I'd like to make a goal that I have to talk about and be a little uncomfortable with - I think the accountability might help.
I'd like to lose about 10lbs this month. I have lost more than that before (without resorting to unhealthy habits) so I think it's possible. I think. I like multiples of 5 so I'm going to put just a little more.
If I lost this weight I would feel like there's a light at the end of the tunnel. I've been "stuck" in the 170s for a long time.
kfunk: Of course...feel free to use it anytime! And, I have 1 lb exactly left in the DietBet, so I should be able to make it, as well. I'm hoping I will break through this standstill and down before our time is up. Fingers crossed for us both!
AdorableBookworm: Welcome to 3FC!!! Many of us, including myself, have been exactly where you are mentally...especially when first starting. I think you'll fit right in, and there will be no need to be shy after long, because I agree that just about everyone is super sweet here! I hope you're able to find the sense of accountability that many of us appreciate by posting here, and good luck this month! We'll all be rooting for you.
flower1: I don't mind at all! Anyone can use it, if they wish. I feel like it keeps everything organized and easy to track.
---------------------------------
Holding steady at 192.8 yet again...third day in a row now. Better than a gain, but still frustrating! Hoping to see a loss or even a whoosh soon. I did a 5.5 milk walk last night, but I was really low on water overall, so going to try to balance that back out today. I only got in about a liter yesterday, which is better than nothing, but not very good. I've also been keeping at the high end of my cal range. If I don't see some downward movement in the next couple of days, I may pull back a little and just cycle higher days in instead and see if that does the trick!
