I just started adding weights- woof I'm a weakling! I'll be 48 in October and I'm taking my life back from unhealthy eating and laziness. I teach college and have an hour commute each way so I spend a lot of time sitting and driving. I've been using mfp for 10 days and I've lost 5 pounds. Who would have thought 1200 calories could be filling! I'm more active and I love it. So count me in! I have 45 pounds to my goal weight of 145. With the holidays approaching the extra motivation and support will be great!6

I am about a week and a half into this, but I'm been staying at 1500 cals per day, I was at 4000 per day. I started at 255 lbs and lost 6.5 in a week and a half. I'm definitely down. I would love to hit 230 by Thanksgiving.7

Hello everyone! My name is Stephanie, 28,and I'm from Texas. I'm a day late but I would love to join in! My starting weight is 246 pounds and my goal is to be at 216 pounds by Thanksgiving! I just started a plant-based diet (today is my 10th day & I've lost 4 lbs so far) but plan on having an occasional "cheat" or include some sort of meat or dairy here and there. I will be eating at a 500 calorie deficit and committing to at least five 30 minute workouts per week, eventually adding weight training to the mix. I hope to reach my goal with hard work and some motivation and accountability from this thread! Good luck everyone!2

I would like to join in. Been through a bit of depression and added extra weight but starting today I want to get a new healthier me. Weighed in at the dr office today at 222. I want to be 202 by Thanksgiving!
According to this app I should get 1800 calories a day and according to my dr 30 sweating mins in the gym 5 times a week.
Let's do this!!3 -
I'm in! This should be fun!0
-
I'm in. Friends welcomed. 5'7" 268 pounds. Goal 243 pounds.3

I am in! I am just getting back to the site. So looking for any challenges and friends to help keep me motivated!!1

98 days left!!!
Another 3.25 miles in this morning! Keep at it. I plan on weighing myself on Tuesdays.2 -
I'm joining in! 5'10'' female here, currently at 248lbs (down 16 from 5 weeks ago when I started!). I think 25lbs is doable by Thanksgiving. I'm going on a trip to Seattle the week before, so this will hopefully help keep me on my goals while on vacation.
Feel free to add me!

Please add me! I'm new to My Fitness Pal and this challenge is just what I'm looking for. I'm a 56 year old woman with 30 pounds to lose, I'd like to see 20 gone by Thanksgiving.1
-
Count me in! 5'7" female at 260s looking for a good challenge (especially around holiday season).2
-
I plan on weighing and posting on here on Mondays- Anyone else want to do this? Anyone want to make a spreadsheet for this so that everyone can post weight loss numbers in there? (Im too dense to figure it out myself)?

Potluck at work today..... I tried to be good... but banana pudding was there.....
Extra steps, and sweat this afternoon.

I'm in. This is my first group! I need to lose at least 50 - 60 more overall. (Lost 7 so far and want to lose around 10 extra - planning for slight gain back/struggle range.)
100 days is around 14 weeks, so I will aim for 25 pounds and secretly hope for more!
My goals are 1) enough sleep 2) weights 3X week (I do 3 leg/ 3 arms/ 3 stomach or trunk) and since I am at the gym, I do cardio on those days. 4) walk 3 miles or swim on three other days 5) stay in calorie range
Toughest is getting enough sleep. I am not a perfectionist though and do have zero exercise days. I have just started using the walking pal app -it's helpful!
A few years ago my doc said if a person walks or runs 3 miles a day, weight will not be a problem. I doubt I will ever walk or run 3 miles everyday, but am aiming at 3x per week as a lifetime habit.
Go for it!1
