    Hey everyone! I just started getting back into this and was looking for a challenge, oddly enough, something by June 7, so this fits in nicely!

    It would be great to do this with people too, so I'd like to add you guys!

    My goal would be to get down to 170 by June 7 (currently 195) and reason for that is that I'd like to look good on my friend's wedding day!

    I'm new to MFP challenges- are people planning to check back in on this thread weekly, daily? I have it bookmarked and keep logging in expecting to see what's happening here, and the answer is... .not much, lol! How does this work?

    Not sure but 1week in for me and 3lbs down. Been under or at my calories each day and also done 3exercise classes and 1 visit to gym.
    How's everyone else getting along?

    Awesome job on week 1! Can't wait to see where you are after 2 weeks!

    I'm only down 1.4 lbs BUT I have MFP set for 1.5 and I was on vacation this week eating fast food most days (yeah, I know, terrible time to start all this!). So I'm happy with my progress. Other wins: I logged everything, even the junk, and stayed at or under my calories most days.

    Next week's goals:
    (1) log daily
    (2) Meet calories
    (3) Meet protein
    (4) Eating window 12-8

    Thanks! I decided to stay in my calorie limit and log every ugly scrap of junk food, and it worked.

    I officially weigh in on Monday! This week, I've been logging all of my food - good or bad! I've been hitting at least 10,000+ steps a day of walking, weight lifting and making better food choices.

    Yesterday I went to a birthday party and stuck to my food choices. I preplanned what I ate before I went to the restaurant (online) so I didn't get tempted while at the restaurant. I stuck with water and seltzer water with lemon & lime in it - avoided soda and booze. I even budgeted for cake. I was happy.

    You made it through a birthday party by planning ahead! That's HUGE! Birthday cake is not my friend right now. Great job!

    Thanks!!!! I also had a good Monday by staying within calories & kicking on the steps plus a short workout!

    I'm basically maintaining my loss- down 1.8 lbs. Nothing dramatic, sigh. I was hoping it would go faster, at least at the beginning.

    @JohnnytotheB so glad you're making progress!
