Two pound Tuesdays

My goal is to lose two pounds per week. Weigh in day is Tuesday (tomorrow).

By doing it one week at a time, I'm hoping to stay motivated and on track. By making it two pounds, I'm hoping it is achievable and healthy.

Risk for all major health concerns in North America (heart disease, diabetes, stroke, dementia, kidney disease) can be significantly reduced by healthy eating and an active lifestyle. I want to prevent these illnesses, my knees are already sending me messages, it's time to do something.

Join me and let's do this!

    2lbs sounds great!
    I am going to weigh-in the morning (Tuesday) to note the starting weight. Let us do it!

    I am following Lyn Genet's The Plan for food intake and planning of working out 5X/week to achieve the 2lbs goal this week.
    Cheers to 2lb Tuesdays!

    I'm totally in! This is my goal too plus my weigh in day is Tuesday! I'm glad I found this new group :smile: I excercise 6 times a week and I changed my eating habits to eat better, not just eat less crap food. My days are filled with veggies and proteins, yogourts, a bit of fruits. Not many carbs for now. I've been on this journey for the past 3 months plus one week. I haven't lost two pounds every week but this is a great way to challenge myself. Let's do this!

    Hi, I am in the UK and will be up for the TPT challenge with you all. Is the basic premise to post your weight every Tuesday and support each other through the week?

    Thanks

    Hey,

    Lets do this!!

    Today: 182 lbs

    I've ramped up my exercise so I'm hoping that will help a lot and make things a bit easier.

    Hi everyone,

    Hope you don't mind me joining you guys, I quite like the idea of a weigh-in and then posting it out there...

    I'm over in the sunny UK (it's not really as we are having a wet start yet again to our so called summer!!!) and I have two boys that I would very much like to see and be around when I'm in my eighty's and if I don't do anything now, I doubt I will be around before something gives up on my body and tries to kill me due to my unhealthy weight...

    OK so lets get the basics out of the way first.

    Age: 47 (male)
    Height: 6ft.3in
    Weight: 265lbs (18st.13)
    BMI: 33.12
    Body Fat: 25.86%

    My goal is to get to 238lbs (17st) that will still place me in the overweight category, but as I have never been lower than that weight even when I was young and healthy I would wait and see how things look.

    So here we go, Day ONE.

    James...

    P.s. Feel free to friend me on MFP... seeing other people updating their exercise and diaries will help me stay on track!!

    And apologies for the nauseating photo - I find it helpful and amusing at the same time :):)

    Good morning everyone! I am new to mfp and am looking to lose 70 pounds. This challenge sounds perfect for me. The goal of losing 2 pounds every Tuesday is great! Looking forward to getting to know all of you, and taking this journey together. My starting weight for this Tuesday is 221.

    HI, everybody! I LOVE the idea of this group and the short-term, focused goal. I'm halfway through losing the weight I would like to. Ive been at basically the same weight for many months now, not kicking it up enough to get to losing again. This feels like it could be the answer. :)

    SW=195.0
    GW next Tue=193.0

    Hello! I am in the UK and my weigh-ins are Wednesday mornings, which I think is still Tuesday in the US so hope it's OK if I post then! I want to lose about 35 pounds before and need motivation to do this healthily, steadily and with the right choices.
    See you tomorrow!
