    Walk 45 minutes a day

    You’ll lose weight and fat if you walk 45 minutes a day, not 30.
    The reason we’re suggesting 45 minutes instead of the typical 30 is that a Duke University study found that while 30 minutes of daily walking is enough to prevent weight gain in most relatively sedentary people, exercise beyond 30 minutes results in weight and fat loss. Burning an additional 300 calories a day with three miles of brisk walking (45 minutes should do it) could help you lose 30 pounds in a year without even changing how much you’re eating.

    Yes I will. It will just be a continuing of the original 12 week challenge. I will keep here on this thread, but start a new and hopefully more challenging 12 weeks. I will set specific goals for everyone to reach each week of the 12 weeks. I will post everything by Tuesday of next week. I have been so busy I am barley keeping up daily check-ins.
    Keep a watch and join in.

    Put your fork or spoon down between every bite.
    At the table, sip water frequently. Intersperse your eating with stories for your dining partner of the amusing things that happened during your day. Your brain lags your stomach by about 20 minutes when it comes to satiety (fullness) signals. If you eat slowly enough, your brain will catch up to tell you that you are no longer in need of food.

    Put less food out and you’ll take less in.

    Conversely, the more food in front of you, the more you’ll eat—regardless of how hungry you are. So instead of using regular dinner plates that range these days from 10 to 14 inches (making them look empty if they’re not heaped with food), serve your main course on salad plates (about 7 to 9 inches wide). Instead of 16-ounce glasses and oversized coffee mugs, return to the old days of 8-ounce glasses and 6-ounce coffee cups.

    I've been doing great! Lost 4 lbs this week! I've been eating very clean and cut out carbs completely. Doubled up on my water intake, absolutely no juice or soda. I've joined a gym and have been doing kickboxing classes twice a week! I'm excited and determined to meet my goal.

    12 Week Weight Loss Challenge

    Original Start weight: 220lbs (Mar 2014)
    Week 4 weight goal: 164lbs
    Week 8 weight goal: 160lbs
    Week 12 weight goal: 156lbs
    Weigh in on Monday each week

    Start: 28/09: 168
    Week 1: 03/10: 167
    Week 2: 10/10: 167
    Week 3: 17/10: 166
    Week 4: 24/10: 166
    Week 5: 31/10: 166
    Week 6: 07/10: 166
    Week 7: 14/11: 165
    Week 8: 21/11: 165
    Week 9: 28/11: 164
    Week 10: 05/12: 163
    Week 11: 12/12: 163
    Week 12: 17/12: 163 I only managed 4 lbs in the 12 weeks. It seems so much harder to reach my goals now that I have lost so much weight.

    Well, as you can see, I didn't quite make my 12 week goal and I am sure I will have put on a few pounds this week past. Not giving up though. New day, new start tomorrow

    Loss this week: +1lb
    Total weight lost: 20lb

    I will actually take that as a positive! 1lb gain after a week of indulging in too many Christmas treats and TOM arrived yesterday which always puts me up a lb or two. I have a week left to get to my goal and need to lose 2lb this week. I'm certainly going to try my best!

    Get an online weight loss buddy to lose more weight.

    A University of Vermont study found that online weight-loss buddies help you keep the weight off. The researchers followed volunteers for 18 months. Those assigned to an Internet-based weight maintenance program sustained their weight loss better than those who met face-to-face in a support group.

    I'm in! I started this journey in Aug and am down 20 pounds, half way to my goal. In 8 weeks I turn 50! :smiley: and am celebrating on the beaches of Cuba. I see I need some fresh motivation and support to keep me on track. I am loving the idea of a 12 week challenge. I'll fill in the CW blanks tomorrow. No doubt I put a wee bit on over the holidays...no regrets! It was a blast and tomorrow is a new day! Thanks Izzy214 for starting this.

    Goal Weight:140 :smiley:
    Weekly Goal:1.5
