Hello! 😊

I am currently at my highest weight (thanks menopause - IYKYK) and want to build habits that will help me get back to a more healthy weight. I want to use this challenge to build the habit of tracking my food everyday and will weigh in weekly (and track that here!) for accountability. Goal is to say farewell to 10 pounds in the process.

Starting weight: 186 lbs
Goal at 10/31: 176 lbs

I am going to try this challenge! I am part of another group and I hope that weighing in 2 different days of the week will keep me on track! I am out of town and get home tonight, so my first weigh in will be tomorrow.

Hello everyone,
I have been doing MyFitnessPal on and off again for YEARS. Currently I am once again working on being more consistent with logging my meals into MyFitnessPal and working out. Thank you for this challenge!

Thank you, @RubyRed427 !
I'm Chris - 74 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
My husband and I are retired, however...we watch our Grandsons during the week. Collin is 18 months and is our Morning Duty. Ronan is in 2nd Grade and is our Afternoon Duty.
I see my trainer for 60 mins three days a week and try to walk the other four days. The walking doesn't always work out. The boys can be exhausting...

Hi! I would like to join this challenge please! I had some success on MFP over 10 years ago now where I lost a lot of weight over a 2 year period and managed to maintain for several years but then the menopause hit and I have been struggling with my weight since!

I am now almost back to where I started over 10 years ago so I am determined to get back to being focused and found the last time joining challenges really helped with this.

So here goes!

I know it is going to be much harder to lose weight this time but I am happy to go slowly but surely!

Starting Weight (Aug 1): 178.86

I've been on MFP for a long time. Back n forth, back n forth. I've let myself go since COVID and while being a caretaker for my husband. It's really hard to find the energy to care for myself, but my blood pressure, weight and hip pain are through the roof so I'm back. I turn 54 on Sunday and I want get back in some sort of shape other than what I am now. I started yesterday, but today is my first day of exercise so I'm excited to have some support!

Getting back on track after my holiday, but with another holiday next week. A long distance walk, 70 miles across 6 days on the beautiful UK North East coastline.
Staying in guest houses with breakfasts included, which I'm going to try and be moderate with (but not calorie counting).
And evening meals.

I'm hoping the daily amount of walking is enough to balance everything out and I can weigh in next week at the same weight.
