I'm in !!!
I actually started on Jan 3rd and called my project "Operation 75" for 75 days til my Mexico vacation LOL
I have been weighing in daily, counting and logging all intake, using fitbit to gauge my daily burn for my set deficit. I also am following the Body Beast Lean calendar.

Your challenge is perfect timing for me and our stats are similar too !

I'll be doing my best! I tried quite hard for months, and made it to 96 pounds, but then life got wayyy too busy and I moved to a different country. I'm going to try again, and hopefully not give up this time!

Hi I'm Sam. I'm trying to bounce back from having a baby about 5 months ago. Trying to get back into shape and lose what's left of the pregnancy weight. I've been plateaued for a few weeks (and the holidays weren't helping). So staying motivated is a huge part for me and has been a struggle lately.

Great timing, looking for a challenge such as this so thanks for creating it. Started on Sunday. Had a full shoulder replacement about a year ago and I was limited for about a year before that. Lost a lot of muscle and picked up unwanted weight along the way. Not strong enough to do everything I used to in the gym but I can get started.

• Goals: Fat loss and strength building
• Goal weight: Not sure, I rely more on photos, energy levels, and how my clothes fit rather than the scale but guessing 20-25 pounds. I do weigh myself every morning to make sure I'm heading in the right direction.
• Training: Strength training 3-4 days/week, HIIT on alternate days, and other cardio (pickleball several times/week)
• Nutrition: Protein 45-50%, Carbs 25%, Fats 20-25%

Thank you for starting this blog. I am getting back on track and can use all the help I can get! In 2018 I was in fairly good shape. I got lazy, broke my shoulder, was drinking more, etc... I slowly gained 38 lbs. I saw Christmas pictures of myself and decided to get into the best shape of my life. My May goal is <10% body fat.

The timing of this could not be more right! I was doing really well until my mom had serious health issues. Much time in hospital with stress and take out added up. I finally was getting back on track when my rotator cuff blew while doing a plank and a very close friend passed. I have spent the last couple of months doing nothing and eating ALL the carbs. I bought the cutest Karl Lagerfeld dress on super sale for the service mid-March and I would be thrilled if all the buttons did up without playing peek-a-boo with my friends family.

I'm not posting weight but rather progress (seeing that number will pull my head out of the zone).

I would like to join in! Just started a couple of days ago and want to stick with this... Consistency is my key to success. I can do this. I just can’t quit. Day four and I’m starting to wish I could eat crap.

Daily check-in. Flying out of town for 4 days. Fortunately it's for a pickleball tournament so plenty of cardio each day. Squeezing in one last lifting session in my gym this morning.

Stress eating can be brutal. Try to keep busy, even if it's a mindless activity that keeps you away from unwanted food. Don't focus on your starting weight, it's where you end up that matters.

Each day give yourself a goal (or 3) for the next day, doesn't have to be big. Treat them like a doctor appointment or something important that you can't miss. Write them down and cross them off. Seeing them accomplished can be great motivators for the next day.

I hear you about your rotator cuff. I had my shoulder replaced about 14 months ago. Sat around for 7 months doing rehab and while I have great range of motion my strength is still low. What I can lift in the gym is a fraction of what I was used to doing but it gets better, day by day. Focus on the progress, big or small.

I've been "stuck" for several months now. Maybe this will help...
