I need to lose about 25kg I’m off to Bali in Feb and want to be down to that weight by then.
I started on Monday 9th Oct, to start I am walking on my treadmill 3klm every morning. Hoping to build on that as the weeks go
I have a small gym at home will start light weights this week,
Logging food and exercise in MFP this will keep me on track
Late nights and weekends are my bad

I have to say you guys, I'm pretty excited about cracking into the 8-0s!! I genuinely don't think I would be sticking with it as much as I do without these challenges. I'd definitely be sneaking a few more treats in if I didn't have to report back, and the good choices are starting to show. Thanks all
Goal for next week- 79.xxkg!!!!
12week challenge goal- 77kg

Hi there! I like the idea of an accountability group, especially with the upcoming holidays. I lose weight slowly, but I'm aiming for 1.5 lbs a week. I've got some new psychological motivation recently. I weigh daily, but record on Saturdays.
I'm 5'6

Joined MFP on 5/7/17 with OSW: 178
Challenge SW: 10/1: 147.4 (goal to weight 140)
10/8: 149.8 so...not a great week, was over calories for a couple of days, and alcohol/salty snacks over the weekend did not help. I am increasing my calories as I approach maintenance, and it is difficult. Back on the wagon...I am glad I can check in here and be accountable. Hope everyone had a good week!
10/15: 150.4 Bit discouraging...I have been trying to do TDEE instead of the MFP calories & eating back some of the exercise. Something is not right. So going back to what I was doing previously and seeing if I can start over with TDEE in a few weeks.
Wishing everyone a good week.

A bad weekend including a lot of fried food spoiled an otherwise productive week. Back to the grind and staying faithful to myself to reaching my FGW.
@GoBlue1981 - Glad to see you're out there. Hopefully you will join us, even though you have probably already transitioned to maintenance. Your insightful and inspiring words are always welcome!3 -

Challenge GW: 130 lb
10/1/17: 149 lb
10/8/17: 144.5 lb
10/15/17: 147 lb
Not sure what brought on the added 2.5 lbs, but I have been eating at a proper calorie deficient. The only thing I can think of is that I've been focusing more on weight training this week. I can tell I've definitely put on a little muscle. The rest may be water weight. Oh well. Here's to next week!5 -
OSW - 161lbs (August 2017)
Challenge GW - 142lbs
SW - 154lbs (4/10/2017)
9/10/17- 153lbs
16/10/17 - 153lbs
A bit disappointing if I’m honest was hoping for another pound lost but I’ve started weight training as well as cardio so that might have something to do with it? Hopefully next week I can make up for not losing anything this week2 -
I joined the challenge late on 10/12 @ 180.4
10/16 weight @ 177.2
Total challenge loss 3.2. Off to a fabulous start!5 -
Hello, I know it’s 10/16 but totally have a 12 week goal. Have lost 24lbs (224 - 197) and then gained 3-5. Had issue with blood sugar levels but have seen an improvement.2

@maryvbird @beckyr06 Thanks! I’ve been checked out this month from the boards, traveling a lot (mostly for fun vs. work) but yes, trying my hand at maintenance so still tracking away! I’m planning to be back in my groups in November because I think I want to try for 10 more lbs, but I did want to give myself a month off from trying to “lose” and try to just maintain first and enjoy the first bit of success before the Holidays! Hope you’re both doing well!3

@LeanneNC95 too...
I think when this happens (especially when you’re changing your workout regimen) it’s important to focus on non-scale victories. How are you feeling? Stronger? Able to workout longer? Clothes fitting better? Looking better? More energy? Are you making better choices because you worked out and don’t want to waste it? The scale never tells the entire story so hanging all of our feelings of whether we had a good week or a bad week on it makes no sense in the grand scheme of things. If you’re here, checking in, being accountable and making better choices than you were yesterday...it’s a good week! Just come back tomorrow4 -

Success / struggles of the week:
I've lazed around a lot and when I tried to go to the gym it was closed, i did make the decision to go for a walk though that day. In pushing my weights higher as im getting stronger. My water intake is back to where it used to be, but not improved like I wanna have it3 -

Plan: I like to spin and was doing it 4x a week but had a knee issue, just getting back. Now trying to get to the gym(am) 2-3x a wk and spin 2-3x week with my usual steps (12-17K). Also need to NOT eat past my calorie allotment(1500). Thank you @beckyr063 -

I lost the one pound I had gained it might have been water weight and I lost the 2lb I was supposed to lose, so 3lbs in one week. I'm very happy with progress. I'm glad I joined this challenge! Good luck to everyone during these 12wks6 -
SW 215.4
10/3 208.4
10/9 207.2
10/16 206.8
I’m down .4 this week. I was hoping for a little more, but I’ll take any loss as a win for me. After looking at my weekly summary I ate a few more calories than I should have. I’ll work on that this week. I’m hoping my doctor will let me start exercising soon, I’m really looking forward to get back to it.
Good job everyone. Some of you gained or stayed the same because of working out. Remember muscle weights more than fat. You are still loosing fat. All in all it looks like everyone had a pretty good week.6 -
Late to the party! I would love to join and support everyone!!! Including the ten pounds I am taking off!4
