    Hi this is a great thread :-)
    Please can you add me? I'm 31 and would like to lose 20lbs in 10 weeks! Mfp has worked for me before and I want to get my head back in the zone!

    Welcome! Just jump in on the thread!

    I did a one day cleansing fast to get back on track after a chaotic weekend. I have a birthday party to attend Saturday but I think I can eat clean (Paleo) for the rest of the week. I’m really liking Paleo and can feel the difference when I don’t eat clean. However, I’m not going to beat myself up on the few occasions I jump off the wagon for things like birthday parties or enjoying a dinner with Non-Paleo (normal) friends.

    Weekly Weigh-in

    Starting weight: 230.6
    Goal weight: 150
    Progress to date: 17.4 pounds lost

    Weigh-ins:
    1/3: 230.6
    2/1: 222.0 (month’s loss)
    3/1: 216.0 (month’s loss)
    3/3: 217.6
    3/10: 215.2

    0.4 this week. Not great, but it was a loss. My monthly weight losses are slowing. 8.6 in January, 6 in February, 2.8 in March. Nothing to panic over yet, but it might just be time to kick up the exercise.

    I'm aware that it's a lot for a short amount of time, but I'd like to see what I can produce in that time frame. It'll honestly be the 1st time I've really pushed hard and I'm excited :smiley:

    Starting weight: 210 6/2015
    Goal weight: 145 lbs by 6/15/2017
    Current weight: 180
    weight loss to date: 30
    Weight loss method: I lost 8 lb on diet bet but then got it back! Nooo! So back to the methods that worked for me in the past, hooping, IF, family walks and low sugar/alcohol. Might still do a dietbet since the pounds are coming off anyway!

    OK Hoopmama bets on if you want. How about 2 pounds a week for the next 5 weeks? I currently weigh 175 so that would put me at 165 by 6 May. You would have to be 170 by then. If you accept my challenge, whoever wins would have bragging rights for this group for the rest of May. What say you :)

    Good Morning!

    Well, I'm still not at the weight I was three weeks ago, but I am starting to lose again, so that's the important thing!

    Highs this week: I walked every day this week! And several people at work are noticing my weight loss!

    I'm so glad to see so many people having success! Keep it up!

    When I first joined this thread, I had set a goal of losing about 22 pounds, because I didn't think I could do 30 with joining late. I've decided to update my goal weight and go for the full 30! I have just over 10 weeks to try and lose about 12 more pounds. Gotta keep it up!

    Just join in, but we have 10 weeks left. Why not try to lose 10 pounds total for the remainder of the challenge, I do not know how much weight you have to lose, but 3 pounds per week average is generally not advised. I say join, set a reasonable goal, and strive to meet that goal in a healthy and sustainable way. The ultimate goal is really to make a lifestyle change that you can live with for the rest of your life. I hope this didn't come off the wrong way - I'm just afraid that three pounds per week is not sustainable and/or possible and would lead to frustration with the process.

    Challenge SW: 12/29/16: 216.0
    CGW 6/15/17: 186.0
    GW: approx. 158.0 (based on initial goal body fat of 23%)
    UGW: 18-19.5% body fat

    Weight loss method: Weighing, measuring and logging all food. Ensuring I have enough protein and good fats for satiety. Kettlebell and lifting workouts. My goal is 122g of protein each day and 25g of fiber. Workouts consisting of kettlebells and lifting. I also try to incorporate HIIT and Tabata as well.

    Week 14
    1/5/17: 213.0, -3.0
    1/12/17: 211.2, -1.8
    1/19/17: 209.6, -1.6
    1/26/17: 208.4, -1.2
    2/1/17: 206.8, -1.6
    2/9/17: 205.2, -1.6
    2/16/17: 202.8, -2.4

    3/15/17: 196.6, -1.6
    3/23/17: 195.2, -1.4
    3/30/17: 193.6, -1.6
    4/6/2017: 192.4, -1.2

    Challenge Loss: -23.6, 79% of the way there and 6.4 to go!). I am getting so close to 30 pounds and excited that I will exceed my goal weight for 6/15.

    This past week's challenge: No lifting! Need to get back to the gym!

    This past week's successes: Still weighing and logging everything. Met my protein and fiber goals for the week (137g protein average per day and 31.5g of fiber per day average). Two very active days while substitute teaching PE (loved it!) and two quick kettlebell workouts in. I joined the 10,000 steps a day challenge for April to keep my daily activity levels up. I am also focusing more intently on my sleep habits.

    My upcoming week: Going to my in-laws for a five days. Eating and getting in workouts are going to be a challenge. I will have the time, but I may need to focus on walking/jogging (they at least have a treadmill) and body weight workouts. I'm hoping to bring a kettlebell or two along. At the very least I'll bring some exercise bands and my TRX with. They live out in the country, but there is a gym about 20-25 minutes away that I'm going to try to get to once or twice to lift, especially if I can't have any kettlebells with me. Eating is going to be the hardest, since I don't know what what my mother-in-law will be putting in the food and it's a lot of old style country cooking (delicious, but not good for you). Next week's results are going to be interesting......

    Hi all! I just hit my first 50# loss today, pretty happy! I would like to join the challenge. I'm not sure how to participate. But I keep my page updated, and would be happy to connect with any other challengers!

    I know I am a little late to this challenge but I start back at the gym this Friday. I will update my stats when I get home and take them. My focus at the gym will be weight lifting so I may change my goal from being pounds lost to bodyfat % and waist measurements. I am also starting a HIIT program at the gym starting April 12th that will run through to June 7th and I believe that they will take my starting and ending fat % so that should help with accuracy. I just have one of those handheld devises at home and I am not sure how well that works.

    I am excited to start! Sadly, I think I have said that about a million times. This time, I am going to finish it!! :)

    Adding walking to my daily routine combined with discipline at the table contributed to a 2.2 pound loss this week. I’m confident I can keep it up at home. However, next week I’m leaving town and will be away from home for most of the week. Life gets in the way sometimes. I’ll deal with it!
