    I’m not the creator but here’s my ideas for whatever it’s worth!!
    Sunday weigh ins we post judgement free!
    Maybe a group weekly goal? ( drink half your body weight in water everyday, log everything you eat BEFORE you eat it, eat 1 fruit and 1 veggie for lunch everyday - just some ideas??)
    And everybody share ideas of things that are or aren’t working with their lifestyle changes.
    All honesty, no judgments, and let’s all support each other!

    I'm in! I have a very sedentary desk job that is long hours (8:30 to 6:30) so getting work out motivation is really difficult. I used to have a much more active job so was able to pretty much eat absolutely anything I wanted and stay at about 129 lbs (im 5'5).
    Now, even though I eat much less, I am 143!
    Love the Sunday weigh in idea. Looking forward to it. Ill think about it every time i'm tempted to eat some office cake.....

    Hey! I'm also 5'5" (32 yo) and I think 140 is an ideal weight! Have you thought about focusing more on resistance training/ gaining muscle instead of losing lbs? Just a thought!

    Who is the owner of this post so we know the rules?
    As of today, 4/10 there is 12-weeks 'til July 3, 2018. T
    To lose 20lbs by then, that's about 1.66lbs/week.
    Suggested Weigh in: Tuesday

    Thoughts?

    Perhaps a new thread going?

    I weighed in today!

    20 by mid-July is exactly where I want to be headed....

    I am IN and new here. My niece is having a large wedding July 27th, so I need to lose 30 by then (currently weigh 155). I just started on here 3 days ago, haven't even introduced myself yet or added photo. Anyway, would love to join this. kiki

    Maybe we have 2 groups of people that post on sundays and the other on tuesdays?

    So this week I am focusing on the basics— just logging everything I eat so I’m more aware. I’m trying to find good snack choices that are satisfying so I don’t fall off the wagon AGAIN. Some things that are working for me just to share....
    Fat free cottage cheese
    Light English muffin (100 cal) with 1 serving peanut butter
    Premier protein shakes in chocolate(taste good and can be used to replace either breakfast or lunch)
    And rotisserie chicken from Costco has been a savior for meal planning and low calorie dinners (fajitas, stir fry, mini pizzas, low cal enchiladas).

    I can’t just eat fruits and veggies all day or I will quit and go right back to where I was....

    21 days to create a habit..... WE GOT THIS!!!

    I’m in! I have a 5 month old baby girl and after I had her I lost all the weight while breastfeeding. I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Shortly before I stopped nursing I gained 10 lbs and I just feel lost sometimes. I need to surround myself by people who are motivated to start to feel my motivation back again.!!

    First weigh in!
    Starting wt: 153.2
    Today : 150.7
    Wasn’t successful for the last part of the week so I’m happy I still lost! I didn’t track my food sat or Sunday and know I ate over my allowed calories yesterday —- oh well, it’s a new week! No giving up everyone!
    This week my goal is to track food everyday and start using my Fitbit!
    My youngest sons 1st bday party is this Saturday so I know I’m doomed because of a taco bar and cake and ice cream—- guess I need to learn self control and portion control!
    Can’t wait to hear how everyone did this week!
