Hello teammates! After spending my entire adult life very overweight, I lost 100 pounds several years ago using a meal replacement plan. It worked great, but I regained about 40 pounds and have bounced up and down the same 20-40 pounds since. I started being more committed to losing weight in earnest again at the beginning of November. I meet with a nutritionist once every two weeks and a personal trainer once a week. More importantly, I'm determined to lose weight through normal healthy food and exercise -- to prove to myself that I really can, if for no other reason. I joined another challenge just before Thanksgiving and really appreciated the sense of team it helped create. So here I am.
I'm 52, live in Wisconsin and have a fabulous job I love even though it's pretty sedentary.
SW: 233.9
CW: 219.2
GW: No real idea. Originally shooting for 190, but BMI would still be pretty high. Technically, at 5'10" I should weigh 128-164 but I haven't been below 185 in more than 30 years. So 190 for now, to be adjusted later.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Welcome to the group, @Kathi7501
congratulations on your loss so far, and I hope this group helps you even more!
Just a heads up, the step challenge is the choose-your-own, the rest are kind of "pre-set" water: 64oz goal, exercise 30min 3 times a week, and food: plan and stick to meal plan 3 days.0 -

@cmhubbard92,
When do we officially start the challenges? I'm doing the exercise and the water challenges. I saw a workout challenge is that the same as the exercise? but I didn't see a water challenge.I might be looking in the wrong place.
Thanks,

My goals for January:
1.Plan meals ahead and stick with it.
2. Drink a glass of water first thing in the morning before anything else.
3. Strength training or Zumba 2 times a week
4. Get back into the habit of walking my 2 boys (dogs) most days.
I have already meal planned for January Week 1 and 2.3 -
Hi...
I’m interested in food challenge, exercise challenge, and water challenge. Hope to get into steps challenge next month after buying smart watch 😅, I do walk a lot but I didn’t carry my phone while walking at the treadmill or walking around home, so there are non countable steps showing on my phone.
Will start posting January 5th2 -
how does the weigh in day work? Do we each get to pick our own or do we decide group date based on most preferred day?

@HappyGrape you submitted a weight in the registration on Thursday, so Thursdays will be your weigh-in day.
@zaraizzy56 All challenges start Sunday, January 5th. On the first page of this thread I posted the group's challenges. Water goal =64oz/ day, exercise goal=30 minutes continuous three times a week. I will hopefully have the spreadsheet finished this evening and will post it.zaraizzy56 wrote: »@cmhubbard92,

Hello everyone old and new for January! As Christine said, I’m one of the co captains of TBBT and so keen to get going for 2020! I took a much needed step back across December but looking forward to diving back in and supporting everyone as well as continuing on my own journey ☺️
2019 was all about losing my baby weight and getting back to pre pregnancy which I did!
2020 is about losing another 40lbs to get me to my goal weight 🥳5 -

Christine I’ll add it to the spreadsheet but wanted to post as well for my own accountability0 -

Hello, I'm happy to be in the group. I had previously built some great lifestyle habits and lost almost to my goal weight. 2019, however, proved to be unexpectedly stressful and I found that my habits were not as set as I had thought. I gained about 30 pounds. But I'm making the necessary changes to deal with the stress, I'm mindfully returning to the previous healthy lifestyle habits and looking forward to 2020.
A goal for 2020: To be the me I want to be.

Hello.... I'm Sarah from WI. I'm not new to MFP... but this is my first time joining communities and challenges... I've been putting my weight/health on the back burner. I've struggled with exercise because I'm a working mom with 3 busy kid schedules... meals b/c my 3 kids are all picky eaters... with one vegetarian, one a meat eater, and one who mostly likes carbs. I'm hoping to use this as a way to get back on track!

@losingbecks Have you tried strength training? It should build your muscle and replace the fat.1 -

@losingbecks just a heads up not all body fat scales/calipers are terribly accurate... You could try getting a DEXA scan which would be way more accurate. I recommend checking the fitness threads... if I can remember, there are a few good advice threads, and I will try to post them to the grouplosingbecks wrote: »Question about body fat.

1. Eat at a deficit, that 100% will decrease your body fat. It may not come off where you want it to, right away, but it will come off!
2. Strength train. Try finding doing a lifting program, and keeping your protein at a higher intake It will be super slow muscle gain(I think the total was .25lb muscle/month or something like that for women, slightly higher for men), but as you drop weight, your BF% will decrease, and you will maintain more muscle. 3 -

Ah! Thanks for the clarification. :-) Really looking forward to working with this group.0 -
This is my first time doing the Biggest Loser Monthly Challenge and am very excited to be on the TBBT! I am 43, live in Florida with my husband, 2 teenagers (so scary
) and our energetic border collie. I do strength training 2 -3 days a week and used to do a few mud/obsticle runs, like the Tough Mudder each year. Now I just stick to regular ole' running. Completed my first 1/2 marathon in Febrary of 2019 and will be doing my second this April. I am generally a pretty fit person, but the weight has been really piling on in my 40's. My current weight is 134, which is high at 5'1. My goal details are below. Looking forward to a productive month!

1. Log everything yes
2. Stay inside your allotted daily calorie budget yes
3. Do at least 20 minutes of activity daily. yes, but see bellow comment
4. Report each day - yes
I have done about 6500 steps only today. I went to long walk before work. I worked from home and had really long day on calls all day. I find not getting lunch break walk outdoors makes me sooo tired in the night and it has been two busy days like this
I really fancy just chilling on the couch to be honest, I feel tired. It's great that I had food plan and ingredients or leftovers ready for me
I am going to use the line - what can I do right now to make myself feel better. Well - I think I can get up from the couch and go for a walk so I can hit my 10 000 steps.
If I stay and don't go for a walk I will fight guilt for the night2 -
Hey guys! I am new here, call me Sam. I live in Germany and have a lot to lose. I Just bought a food scale again and I am looking forward to logging my meals again. One day at a time!2
