Goal weight: 120

This go round I am focusing on increasing my weights for strength training and progressive overload at the gym. I need to jump start my metabolism by adding more muscle.

@200Karen- I've heard good things about the Caroline Girvan workout programs. Have done any of them?

200Karen

Good Morning

@cgm117 Yes Caroline Girvan is great for my isometric ST. I'll have to check out her other workout programs.


Here’s our reminder to think BIG with our morning self talk

While I may not lose 15# in 3 months, I do have an end-of-August goal so this Challenge will be very helpful.


Hi,
I’m Amanda, almost 50, wicked short 4’11” from New England.

My 1st goal is for mid-June (trip to LA/Vegas) to lose the covid weight,
2nd goal for end-August.

Appreciate all your support.

- Pre-plan meals for the day
- Daily movement
- No Late Night Snacking

5/1 weight = 122.6
6/12 GW = 116
8/30 GW = 112

Working on getting back to doing 1 pull-up (max was 8 pull-ups).
It's close, I know it's coming!

I am a 5'3" retiree living in upstate NY.
I started tracking again with MFP in January 2022.
My final goal weight is between 135-145.

Starting weight as of 1/3/22: 230 lbs

Apr 28: 159.6
May 5: 158.2


Challenge Goal: 7 lbs (152.6)
Challenge Actual: 1.4 (158.2)

When I stepped on the scale this morning for my weekly weigh-in and was very surprised to have lost 1.4 lbs. I didn't expect to lose that much since I had lost a full pound last week and lately it's been taking about a month for me to lose 2.5 lbs. In addition we went out for BBQ on Monday in rememberance of my late son's birthday, though I did manage to stay within my calories for the day.

Plugged my new weight into MFP this morning and it told me I'm 75% of the way to goal. Woo hoo!


Have a great week everyone!

Really happy with my progress so far! I’m just at the early weeks of changing my diet and trying to be more active, and I know it will slow down, but for now pretty happy. 😊

As someone who’s been on the weight loss train many times, I know how easy it will be for me to lose focus, or be overwhelmed by the big goals. I am trying to focus on consistency rather than a target weight. So I’ve decided I will set myself a goal and a reward of being consistent for X days. Haven’t figured out the details yet though!

Have a great weekend everyone.

May Goals: Last week:

lots of water: yes
daily movement of some kind: not daily
daily meditation: yes
daily stretch: not daily but most

I'm disappointed that my weight is the same. But I did eat more than I had been plus Haagan -Daz was on sale and I had too much ice cream. I won't let it throw me off track and will make better choices today.

Good morning! I lifted some weights yesterday. I did not snack in the evening and ate a healthy dinner.

Today's goal:
Minimize snacking at work
One fruit eaten
Arm weights and stomach crunches

Welcome to everyone!
