I'm looking for a few buddies to work on losing 10 pounds by summer with. My diary is open, and I could use some accountability and can do the same for you. Maybe a daily or weekly check-in?

I'm in. Would love a weekly check-in. By Memorial day would be perfect for me too!

A pound a week would be awesome.4 -
I'm in too! Looking to get started again after a maintenance break. Memorial day is late may?1

I'm hoping for 10 pounds by June 2nd (1 pound/week). What are you ladies doing other than tracking calories?

I’m aiming to have ten pounds off by June 2nd, so I’m in!

I do strength training with dumbbells and bodyweight work three times a week and fit in cardio when I can. I prefer running or hiking and am hoping to get to it more often now that the weather is getting nice. I also have a 15k daily step count I try to meet as often as possible.3 -
Good morning ladies! Wanted to log my weight for this week.
I weigh-in on Mondays. And that is pretty hard to do - but keeps me on track over the weekend. Whatever strategies worked for the previous 10 lbs loss don't seem to work very well anymore. Need to change things up a bit.
This week I aim to increase cardio to 120 minutes and track everything I eat.

I have lived in my apartment complex for almost four years and have yet to feel comfortable enough to enjoy the pool! I say this every year but SERIOUSLY - this. is. the. year!
Also, my bf and I booked vacation over the weekend - leaving June 12 - totally doubles my motivation.
Height - 5'0" (barely LOL)
SW on 3/25 - 129
GW - 115 I think would be ideal, but 120 with muscle is A-OK for me too
I am very curious about IF, I feel like I was doing something wrong when I tried it a few weeks ago. It's weird because I don't have issues with hunger, it's more that I can't fit all of my calories in 8 hours without feeling like I'm stuffing myself. For example, if my eating window is 12-8 pm, I have no issues waiting till noon to eat, snacks throughout the day then dinner around 6 or 7... usually 200-300 calories below my goal but I honestly could not eat more before I'm stuffed. THEN I'm starving around 9 or 10 pm. I hope this makes sense lol. Anyway, it may just mean IF is not for me, but curious as to others' experiences with IF.
As for what I eat - I eat "paleo" aka dairy and grain-free about 80% of the time, but treat myself to burgers and beer on Saturdays haha! Occasionally some rice as well.
After about ......... oh gosh, 6 months..... off from the gym, I JUST started working out again about a week ago. Lifting weights, HIIT on the treadmill, lots of slow walking at an incline, trying to get back into Bodypump as well.
On a final note - you ladies rock and I love this community oh so much! Hugs and have a great week!3 -
**I'm silly - just realized I contradicted myself when I said I had no issues with hunger on IF then said I was starving... eye roll at myself! Sorry y'all!1
-
IF has been great for me. Its not a 'diet plan' anymore - I can see myself living this way long term. I cannot skip breakfast. So I skip dinner. After lunch I have a snack at around 2pm. I'm good till next morning. You get used to this way of eating.2

Hi All! I'm hoping to be down 10lbs by June 6th, since I'll be going on vacation. I'm trying to lose 1lb a week, so 10lbs by Memorial Day is pushing it for me.

I’ve tried IF, but I got pretty bad headaches when I was doing it. My friend does really well with it though so it’s definitely a good option for some people. I do okay with basic CICO so long as I pay attention to protein levels. This past week was a pretty nice cheat/refeed/mini diet break so I’m in today with renewed vigor.
A bit of annoyance today, I went and bought a couple of 30lb dumbbells this morning because I need an increase in weight for a lot of my leg work, but then I was playing on the playground with my kids and twinged my neck crossing the monkey bars. 🤦🏼♀️ So I may have to modify some of my exercises tonight.
Awesome job! 💪🏻Another day relatively on track!! I hope you guys don't mind me checking in like this.

I'm in!! I'm still trying to unload 10 pounds I picked up when I broke my leg Memorial Day 2018! How am I going to accomplish this? I'm currently running 3 days/week on my treadmill, so now I'm going to take my dogs on a run many days a week, walk with them the rest, and add in yoga.

@LadySaton Nice! I do well with CICO too.
Sorry to hear about the neck injury! Hope you get better soon

Interesting and good for you!! I have SUCH A HARD TIME (read: impossible) going to bed with a grumbly tummy so for me, skipping breakfast is super easy. Plus I don't really have an appetite in the morning.0 -
You ladies are inspiring me to keep going! I've been feeling so overwhelmed lately, I'm wondering how to keep the motivation for weight loss up. Any suggestions for how to keep going when life is busy and you're exhausted?0

Hi - I'm just getting back to MFP and browsing the forums. I've gained about 15 pounds over the last two years and working to get back down, trying MFP to help get there. My birthday is 6/19 and I decided this weekend that I'd love to hit that goal by then. Finding this forum couldn't have come at a better time!
Current weight - 148.8 lbs. I'm 5'6" tall.
Goal weight - in the mid 130's (not sure where I'll settle, want to see how I feel when I get there)

Back on MFP. Lost 35 lbs 5 years ago but gained 20 of it back! Need help. Would like to lose 10-15 by August. Started logging again today. I'm 5'2.5".
SW 138 lbs
GW 128 by June, 120 by August?

Ugh, I've gained back 17 lbs just in the past couple months, after 6 years of maintenance. Dealing (or not...) with PTSD and dx of Major Depressive Disorder due to an criminal attack on me at work, and currently helping 3 elderly parents with serious health problems. Started therapy (paid by work insurance.) I eat my pain... generally a bad combo of carby chips/crisps and big hunks of cheddar. Every day I start off fine, but on my night shifts I tend to go crazy eating constantly thru the shift or on the couch while I read on my evenings off. I am trying to do some guided imagery at bedtime after shift or evenings at home when feeling stressed.
So.
Time for accountability on here. Right now it is too much to focus on filling out an MFP food diary again but I will at least be aware of what I am eating or feel like eating and try not to do so mindlessly.

I mentioned in another post about IF. I basically try to do 16/ 8 . I eat breakfast, lunch and a 2 pm or 3pm snack. I just seem to do better skipping dinner rather than skipping breakfast. Initially it was tough, but now I feel uncomfortable if I have a meal outside my eating window. I do go out to dinner with my family / friends some weekends. I don’t overthink fasting hrs etc. I eat something light since my body is not used to a lot of food in the evenings.
I must mention that I did have some issue with insomnia. It went away after some time.

I am totally in! I’m in a “10 pounds by Easter mini challenge” and have 3.2 to lose for that one by April 21 so this will extend that for me! Perfect! It may be hard for me to get down 10 pounds since I’m on my last vanity pounds but I’ll try!!!!!!

My snacks got out of hand today, so I took a five mile run to cover it. Running is my best friend on Double Stars day! 🤣
Sometimes a walk is all I need to get my day started right. Especially when it’s cool out, that just gives me so much mental energy for the rest of the day._vicky2291 wrote: »Day 4 completed successfully.
Tomorrow is going to be challenging. I'm trying to get in to the habit of getting up at 5am but I'm not going to the gym tomorrow so I may lack motivation to get up. Planning to go for a walk, stretch and do some washing up.

Hooray for all wins - partial or not! Keep going!0 -
I'd love to participate in this! Been on MFP since January (used it a couple years ago as well) but just now started looking/participating in the forums. 10 pounds by memorial day sounds good but I've got a cruise in mid May that might throw things off a bit.
