Hi....I'm happy to be back after almost a year on MFP

pipsqueak34

Glad you are here @Stefbomb2020! This is my first challenge and I am super excited to be here.

vacamama

Hi there! I'm new (not new to MFP, but was away for a while) and excited to start this challenge with you all!

jennycapps4935

Hello everyone! I’m new here and am looking forward to this challenge and finding some partners to help me stay accountable! Looking forward to getting to know you all❤️

vacamama

I haven't logged a full food day in years. Today I actually did it, I was over but it went better then I expected! Anyone else having to go back to basics?

pipsqueak34

Yep. Seems like I do it ALOT! 😂

jennycapps4935

I am back to basics also so you are definitely not alone!

A nice loss this week, am guessing it is actually from the last two weeks and is finally showing on scale after my period is over

Am looking forward to losing with all you and see you reach your goals

My goal of being under 200 by the end of the year set back in May, is looking more and more like it going to happen by end of this month

Am guessing the daily tracking challenge doesn’t start again until next week but going to try and get back into the habit of posting daily after the busy last two weeks
Sunday 10/31
Tracked: Yes
Under Calories: Yes, but with using half of my exercise calories
Exercise: Yes, I was really excited that I finally got to go hike at a state park I had been wanting to go back to for a while. Had been so out of shape that had not even wanted to attempt it at first, then had a hard time getting someone to go with. Was a pretty day today, got in over 15,000 steps and walked about 6 miles. I am probably going to be so sore tomorrow but was worth it.

Stefbomb2020

I'm super happy... I already started watching my sugar intake and gonna drink 3 litres of water daily.... can't wait to weigh in on Saturday

Had a great week this week! Showing how tracking your food can really make a difference. Knowing I was in this challenge really helped me to. Looking forward to another week.

Tracked: Yes
Under Calories: Yes
Exercise: No, long day at work today. Did some light stretches to see if it would help my calves any(so sore) but that’s it.

@AB0215 I had said Mondays for WI but think Fridays will work better for me. is that ok?

dymphnadaniels

I am now weighing in on Saturday instead of Sunday. I needed to shift it due to some life circumstances. Sunday is becoming my rest day for muscle recovery and that means I will probably be sleeping in late and forgetting to weigh that day.

Welcome New and Returning Members!

I'd meant to post this a couple days ago but time once again got away from me.

ABOUT THE CHALLENGES & REQUIRED WEIGHT POSTINGS

We are going to be running (Optional) Mini-challenges this month: Mini-Accountability Challenge

First and foremost is that participation in this challenge is optional. It's up to you as to whether you want to try this. I definitely encourage participation for a couple reasons, one of the being it helps to keep your goals in focus daily but also it's motivating to see others working on the same things and having the same struggles too. It's defintely a reminder that we're not alone and we are a team!

The Daily Posts Challenge is based on another challenge on MFP called UAC (Ultimate Accountability Challenge). The way UAC works is that the aim is to follow 5 basic rules.

#1. Track EVERYTHING you eat that has calories.
#2. Stay inside your allocated daily budget. (you set your own budget)
#3. Try to do at least 20 minutes of activity a day (anything: walk, run, cycle, swim, gardening, housework, yoga, gym, etc.. As long as it gets you active and off the couch)
#4. Check in daily (tracking yes/no, calories yes/no, exercise yes/no).

****End of the week. those who have managed to keep to plan for 6 out of 7 days are recognized in the thread as being part of the weekly "Winners Circle".

It works on an honor system. Being honest with yourself and others is a key to making things work. Remember, this is a judgement free zone, everyone has good days and bad days, but the way to get to the finish line is by being honest and when we have a bad day, picking ourselves up and carrying on the next day!

Consistency and new habits have been shown the only long term successful way to change weight. We all want the progress made here to last a lifetime.

Your posts should look like this:
Daily Post (Sunday)

Track: Yes/no
Calories: Yes/no (were you under)
Exercise: Yes/no (what type and how long)
Goals/Day/Comments: (Tell us a brief description about your how your day went or your goals for the day)

Please post your weight on your scheduled weigh in day, as if you miss weigh-ins, you may be eliminated from the challenge and we don't want to see that happen!!

Your posts should look like this:
AB0215
Week 1
PW =(previous weight)
CW=(current weight)

Please, please setup your posts in that format as it really makes it much easier for us to track your progress for the challenges and the weight loss!!

We'd like to help you be as successful as possible and if we can help in any way, please let us know. Also, if you have any suggestions for the team or fun ideas to spice things up a bit, please feel free to share them, we look for new ways to help engagement and keep people motivated!!

Welcome to the Challenge!!

Tracked: No
Under Calories: No
Exercise: No
Had an imaging appointment in the next town over around lunch time, was super stressed and didn’t eat much beforehand, then went shopping hungry and did not have the healthiest lunch or dinner. I was weak and bought some unhealthy snacks for the next couple days as well. Still trying to get away from the reward being food after a stressful thing. On the plus side already got back the imaging results, they ruled out anything serious causing my issue

Was not as bad over my calories today as yesterday and my meals were healthy but the snacks on the other hand…. there was a donut, a breadstick and pie, very very nummy pie.

I am going to step back to just cheerleading this month. It’s NaNoWriMo. I will be busy dealing with that. It’s a lot of fun, but time consuming. I hope to actually complete my novel by the end of it (Nov 30 11:59 pm). Take care everyone and don’t forget to be kind to yourself regardless of the number on the idiot box.
