    @tpt1950 Great! Nice to meet you! It's very motivating to have new equipment. I want one too. So I can watch TV and use it.

    Yes!! That is the plan. I have the spot all picked out and have already downloaded lots of virtual tours all over the world to use when I am not watching TV while on it!!

    Welcome to the new friends and our faithful friends. This challenge is pretty simple- set your goal, try to participate by posting once in awhile- some people like to post their progress once a week. It's all up to you.

    @nsk1951 It's great to have you here!! Your age is just a number. We are all just trying to improve our health, so you fit in nicely.

    I need to lose the 10-15 lbs that I lost and since regained. I have a timeframe I'm aiming for (mid-late Jan beach vacation). I can do this; I just don't seem to have the drive I did the first time around. I think I may chime in every day. I exercise ~6 days/wk; I struggle with the lower calories.

    Great idea! Chime in often- stay focused.

    I need to work at this challenge. I'm from MN, age 75, have struggled with my weight for too many years. I need to kick myself in the butt and get going to a new year approaching. I will weigh in thursday mornings.

    I’m in!

    I lost 17.8 pounds in our last challenge so I’m here to do it again. 💪 I‘ll weigh tomorrow morning for my starting weight.

    You did so great during the last round! My rate of loss has slowed quite a bit over the past couple months but I managed to lose about 11 pounds last round. Here's to another successful round in this challenge 🥂

    Lost 17 pounds in the last round, but the scale hasn't budged for 4 weeks now. I'm eating at a deficit and I'm still sore from lifting last week, so it's gotta move soon, right?

    You're doing so great! I'm confident the scale will move for you soon.

    I'm definitely joining in! My husband and I are deciding to move forward with trying to have another baby, so my motivation is at a massive level!

    287 lbs today, so 15 pounds will be a goal of 272 lbs.

    Nov 1st: 287

    Challenge Goal: 272

    My name is Donna. I am 62 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.


    CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 15 pounds to land at 182.8
    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM Oct 31): 197.8
    CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT:


    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s


    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.



    11/01-199.8-(Trend Weight: 200.2)- Was it the travel weight, the Halloween candy, or the 3 hours of sleep last night? Moving forward, but remembering in the Book of Psalms that it says in part “My life is continually in my hands……”
