    Hi everyone, I'm jumping in a bit late but I'm so proud of the weight loss that you folks are already recording in just a week! Congratulations and keep going!!!

    My name's Bev and I’m not doing any special diet, though I have a few food allergies and am also trying to keep my carb intake low. My ultimate goal is to lose 50lbs - we can do this!

    Challenge for me this week: It's Canada Day this weekend so I don't want to add weight by drinking too much...!

    I just finished the spring challenge (20 weeks to summer), so I'll try this challenge next.

    My fitness program during the summer is mostly staying active bicycling, playing Ultimate, rowing, paddling, diving, gardening, and..... I don't get to the gym much in the late spring or summer. Once summer is over, I do a variety of gym workouts. For cardio I either swim, run on a treadmill, hop on a bicycle-to-nowhere, or use an elliptical. I take a few fitness classes if they fit my schedule. For resistance work, I had been mostly using machines. I hired a trainer to help me develop a new workout. It includes giant sets of 12 exercises; he wants me in and out of the gym in an hour. His new workout kicks my butt. It's a bunch of body weight exercises with some free weights and machines thrown in.

    I've lost about 20 pounds since February, and I'm just a few pounds from my goal. I'm considering just telling MFP that I actually met my goal and set it for maintenance calories at my goal weight. I may end up heavier if I increase my lean mass, and that's ok.

    Original starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
    Challenge starting weight June 21 - 151.2
    Ultimate goal - 145.0 (range between 145-150)

    Hi, everyone! My name is Mandie. I’m an avid exerciser, but have been lazy about tracking my nutrition lately. I’ve gained 8 lbs in the past few months! I started back with MFP a couple of days ago and I’m ready to get this weight off! I spin and enjoy strength training with free weights. I look forward to this challenge and to seeing all of you meet your goals for the summer!

    This week was a little difficult for my ego to post this since I was a pound lighter yesterday. I know, you can fluctuate like crazy and I'm not taking it too hard.

    I also readjusted my challenge goal. Last time I lost a bunch of weight it was easy because I was doing dumb, unsustainable things. I also had a more active job. This time I'm trying to be smarter about it so it's going slower than I'd like. But I feel way better about it and I'm working on moving more and adding in some BWF.

    So this week I had 2 cheat days on my diet due to a wedding. I almost fell off the band wagon. But I’m back in my diet, back into ketosis and ready to continue. No more cheating on food or myself!

    I'm adding my info a little late here, but I did actually start around the same time. So, I'm listing all my weights since starting my more focused weight loss journey. My weigh-in dates are kind of all over the place because I will be going out of town three times between now and the end of this challenge. But these are the dates I will commit to weighing in and tracking my weight! Here we go!
