Are you willing to change your license if you fall short of your goal?

You have an accountabilibuddy for your plan if you do.

(actually, you have an accountabilibuddy even if the license weight is unfeasible)

I'd love to join this group. Is it too late? If not, what do I need to do?

I'm in. Current weight 256.6 lbs. Highest ever was 270. Joined ww and lost 27 lbs then life happened with stress at home followed by a family bereavement so since then have put on 13 lbs. Don't want to ever go back to what I was originally as I was always put of breath and couldn't walk far. I have been doing ww online but seem to be on a cycle of loss gain sts. So I have decided to go back to basics and monitor every calorie that enters my mouth. I don't have a goal in mind by New Year as when I do that I set myself up to fail so any loss would be a bonus. My aims for the challenge are to log all my food and get back to my exercise classes as that has slipped recently

I’m in but will only weigh in/do a body scan at the end of the challenge. I will be working on eating in a more structured way, and focusing on macros. Also working on upping my NEAT and formal exercise 2-3 times a week. Thanks for setting this up!

I’m in!

This is so scary but exciting too! I've always mostly kept on track, but a couple of years ago, gained weight 20 pounds through a thyroid hormone issue. Since then, especially the last 6 months, I kinda gave up, as nothing seemed to make a difference. I'm not struggling too bad mentally, but I would like to conquer this attitude and start caring again!

My plan:
~Get back into ketosis. I got kicked out during a period of high stress and adrenal fatigue. Still recovering.
~Maintain 18 to 20 hour IF schedule with occasional 24hr fasts.
~Drink no less than 96 ozs of water daily.
~Daily walks and strength training. Currently, as adrenal fatigue permits.
~Try to have as many days meeting my calorie limit, which is 1300, as I can get. Under calories seems great, but it doesn't work for me. Occasionally, I have to eat at maintenance to force a drop in my weight.

yesterday's workout (readings from Polar M400):

cycling - duration 01:23:45, 14.83 mi, 1093 kcal
strength training: duration 27:59, 435 kcal

strength training is in the form of sledge hammer swings on a truck tire and dumbbell press (more like strength/endurance)
each round starts with dumbbell press x5 @12kb
5 rounds of 60 swings (leftside x20 rightside x20 overhead x20) 6# head-
90 sec rest in between rounds -

6 pounds didn't look like a lot to me at the beginning, but by round 5 my forearms were crying-

Planning to stick to this workout over the 12 weeks and see what kind of progress I can make.
I've had trouble sticking to workout schedules in the past-

(actually, you have an accountabilibuddy even if the license weight is unfeasible)

Still thinking. Drivers license where I am doesn't have my weight on it (Just as well! Only a not very good photo ) Tell you what, I'll commit to a donation of 200 Euro to the homeless (I've a favourite local charity) if I don't make it.

StayFocused01023

I'm in too! This is great, I'm in a couple other groups but there seem to be a lot more active people here. And 12 weeks will be perfect to get through the holidays. I love reading posts to hear what other people are working on...

HW: 170s maybe 180-ish (10yrs or so ago, didn't have a scale)
SW Starting MFP in May: 154.0
Longer Term Weight Goals: 138 by Feb 2020 (top of my healthy BMI where I was back in 2016 when I met my boyfriend), and ultimately I'd like to try and get into the mid-range of healthy BMI for my height which is 127/129lbs by July 2020

Currently I've pretty much succeeded in making these goals into habits but plan to continue:
Goal #1: 8.5 Minute Core/Ab Routine Every Other Day for 1 week. Then up it to 10 minutes 2 days on 1 day off for 2 weeks (Ultimate Goal of Great Posture!), continue advancing
Goal #2: 2-3 Exercise Classes per week, OR 2 long walks/biking/hiking outside while the weather is still nice in MN (or combo)
Goal #3: Stay within daily calorie targets (I'm set to 1430 daily) - by pre-tracking my meals and snacks each day with some wiggle room and plans in place for night time snacking and special events. My concrete goal will be to track it ALL, even if I go overboard on a night binge or event food to build awareness in the process. It's OK to go over sometimes... not a failure just track it

I weigh in daily as I find it helpful to go by the averages but I'll just post the averages weekly on the schedule. I am taking the weight goals super slow and steady as it is really working for me this time around (I've yo-yo'd back up & down a few times over the years), so about 0.50lb loss target per week, but if I don't get there... no big deal! I'm more focused on accomplishing the fitness and food tracking goals, using weight as a progress measurement.


New Goals for 12 Week Challenge:
Goal 1: Go out Dancing (I LOVE dancing and haven't been out in months!)
Goal 2: Try some more advanced classes to up my exercise routine
Goal 3: Sign up for winter weekly swimming classes with my local community ed
Goal 4: I have a work conference coming up in Oct and I will be flying staying out of town for 5 nights - my goal is to have meals planned that don't require cooking and I can pick up at the grocery store while there (taking suggestions!!)

I'm 36, 5'4"
12 Week Challenge Average SW: 144.9
12 Week Challenge Average GW: 139.0 - Hit the 130s!

PS - I also need to adjust to my drivers license weight but I JUST renewed mine, don't even have it in hand yet. I submitted my weight as 140 partially as wishful thinking and partially as I'm confident I'll match it sooner than later. I should go for having to re-apply for mine in a year or so because the weight is too high!

I went to PiYo class this morning for 45 minutes, then a 3+ hour (Probably 6.6 miles?) hike that was in an absolutely gorgeous river valley nature preserve. Enjoying the last warm days to the max before winter!

Awesome - I'll commit to a donation of $200 if I don't make my goal, also. (and make my license honest, of course)

abikas

Sorry I'm late to this but I'd like to join too if that's alright! I'll add my weight from 9/30 (still a bit nervous about getting on the scale after a couple of months away from it!) Really just want to get back to the weight I was when I started uni (6 years ago!) as it was the last time I was genuinely comfortable and confident in my body.

Generally just going to be tracking my calories and trying to stick around 1200-1400 a day; will really need this accountability as party season creeps around.
