I'd also like to join
April 23rd 198lbs so aiming for 190.
I'll be trying to walk 30 mins or 10 000 steps a day plus 3 other exercise sessions per week. I'll also be trying to stick to my MFP calorie allowance and eat 5 portions of fruit and veg per day (I don't often manage this!) I'd be interested to hear what others will be trying to do......
Good luck everyone!

I am trying to eat as little as 1200 calories each day but I know some days I may be a little over but ideally in the 1200-1900 range, the lower the better. And I am aiming for 5 good workouts each week!

@michy84 sounds like a good plan. I find 1200 isn't enough for me. I'm trying to lose slowly but surely. Otherwise I'll end up doing what I've been doing for years and put it all back on again.
Good luck!

I check my weight everyweek, but it only counts on the first of each month. That's when I update my ticker. I've been doing crossfit for going on 3 weeks now, my lowest weight this month was 291, then I went up overnight. I'm asumming its a combination of water weight and muscle building, because my weight is dropping again this week, hopefully it sticks and doesn't go back up again.

Just thought I'd say hi to everyone. Hope you're all doing ok.
Also thank you to @michy84 for starting this challenge! It's making me think twice about eating naughty things and encouraging me to exercise.
Have a good day everybody

8 pounds is roughly 4kg and my goal is to lose more than that in eight weeks as I need to lose 24kg.

25/4 94.4 kg
