Hello all! I just wrote my first post in the challege section. I am starting a challege to lose 5 pounds a month. I know that is not a whole lot, but when I surpass that, it will be a great motivator for me. When I am at a stall, it will be okay, because the weight loss will balance out. 5 pounds a month = 60 pounds a year.

I have been lurking here for the past 5 years. I am still nursing my 11 month old. Hope to wean her very very soon. Hopefully this will make loosing weight easier.

Anyway, I am ready to take control of my weight, instead of my weight controlling me.

Hi Mom2ScottBrianMeagan, and

I'm glad you're participating in a challenge...I think they are a great way to get started, both in weight loss and in posting on the board.

Hopefully we'll be seeing a lot more posts from you soon!

Thanks for the support! I am planning on keeping my self promise to my self and loose the weight this final time. Hopefully with all the support that you guys gives, I will have the extra motivation to stay on track.
