August 30 day Challenge

WilliamVE

I am hosting my first challenge so bear with me. If I am missing anything please remind me.

For this challenge you will strive to lose 5% of your current body weight. This may be hard but is possible, by everyone losing 5% it is about an equal struggle for everyone.

Every Tuesday of August you will record your weight and what you think you can improve on to maximize losing weight.

Thanks for starting this WilliamVE. I am interested in it. What method do you plan to use to communicate? Is this a group or a message thread? Sorry, I am not too frequent in the message boards, so I don't know the in's and out's so well.

WilliamVE

A Challenge thread, way of communication will be the thread, I assume.

This is so inspiring, started my lifestyle change 3 weeks ago and although I look and feel a tad bit different the scale said I gained 1 lb! I know that might be some muscle gain but I was hoping to see the numbers go down instead of up. I am IN!

I'm in! I've been on and off of MyFitnessPal for 5 years but never have taken my weight loss too seriously. Today after leaving the doctor's office and seeing the numbers on the scale this is the most I've ever weighed and I realized I need to do something about it and take action. I'm so glad that I will have people taking this journey with me.

In! I miss the days of Calorie-Count weight loss challenges, this is such a great nostalgia haha.

Apologies I'm going to play in KG's, 'cause that's what we use in NZ and what I use on my scales.
Easier for me to visualize.
