    Hi! I just started back using MFP today after a couple years away, and have never done a challenge but 21 days seems like a good length of time to commit to some great habits to kick start a better health path! How do I join a challenge and follow along? I looked for info on it and can’t find anything (I might just be looking in the wrong places!) and the help link says the page isn’t available so hoping you can tell me. Thanks!

    Awesome, Michelle! I found your challenge! It works great with the one I started yesterday. I love this one because it's challenging without feeling impossible. I'm in! :smiley:

    Starting weight: 135 lbs
    Goal weight: 132 lbs in 3 weeks sounds reasonable. So aiming for a 3 lbs loss total.

    Pick any mini goal:
    1) Hydration πŸ’¦ 128 oz a day
    2) Diet πŸ₯‘πŸ₯¦ Get back to weighing my food. (I slacked on this the past 3 weeks and gained weight!) Also, eat at a small caloric deficit.
    3) Fitness πŸ‘Ÿ 30 minutes minimum of *formal* exercise every day (yoga and walking will count for "active rest" days.)

    I sure did pick one stressful week to start something like this. I work in a rural area and my job is closing in 14 months!

    On top of my job closing in 14 months, I also rolled my ankle really bad. I am currently minimizing walking to what is absolutely necessary and avoiding carrying any extra weight. My focus for the next 3 days is to minimize stress, drink 64oz pure water daily and eat healthy balanced meals.
