Let's lose 20-30 lbs. by New Year's Eve, 2025!
Hi, and Welcome! I'm in a few other challenges, but I'd like to start a new one, beginning Wednesday, May 28th, 31 weeks until New Year's Eve. Since I am now within 20-30 lbs. of my desired weight goal (to get below 25.0 BMI), I thought it would be good to start a new challenge that could help me to achieve my goal by 2026! This would also tie in to a new program I joined called "The Path to Lifestyle Change", which starts up on May 28th. More about the program here:
How about YOU? Are you also within 20-30 lbs. of your own, personal goal by the end of the year? No matter where you are on your journey, please feel free to jump in anytime. I will be weighing in on Wednesdays, but feel free to jump in wherever you are and choose you own, preferred weigh-in day. I will aim towards averaging a loss of 1-2 lbs. per week.
I will post my initial weight, scale app stats and main measurements beginning this Wednesday. This is strictly optional. The only rules are to never give up, be kind and stay positive! Very best wishes! 🌹💞🕊️

I'm in too! I can traverse both challenges I am on. Love the support! I would be at a perfect weight for me if I lose 20 pounds by NYE.
One of my main issues is stress management. I have been a stress eater and drinker. I panic and then try to regulate my feelings with food and drink. I know my patterns. But it is hard to self-regulate when I am thinking with my "fight or flight" part of the brain- the amygdala. I have always been anxious but never on meds for that. I have to really learn to self regulate and try to take a few moments to think things through instead of react with my normal instincts.
That was probably too much information about me. But like I said a few times, when I type MFP posts, it's probably more like journaling. Self reflection.
Thanks for setting up this challenge!

Hi everyone,
Here are my stats from Wednesday, May 20th
Key measurements taken:
B: 41.0"/W: 38.5"/H: 40.5/P: 45.0"
My weight has actually gone UP since then! Time to strengthen my resolve!
I will report weight updates every Wednesday going forward to match to with weigh-ins for the Path to Lifestyle Change program I joined on May 28th.
Today is June 1st. I'm also giving up alcohol 100% (again). Like @RubyRed427, I am also a stress eater and drinker. I need to work on alternate ways to calm down. Increased activity should help.
Have a nice Sunday!
💗Carole

They leave at 7:00 pm but are with me every week from Thursday until Sunday evening due to her job (and my babysitting). Ugh….. She is my 100 lb soaking wet size triple zero daughter that is a HUGE foodie. Constantly eating little bites of everything ALL THE TIME.

My name is Donna. I am 65 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall. My highest weight was 253. I would like to lose a total of about 100 pounds and have been working on it for too many years (since 2018).
I will weigh on Wednesdays, but also on the 1st and last day of every month in order to get an account for the entire month.

CURRENT MONTH:
06/01 – 192.8 ❌ (Trend Weight – 193.9) Pizza with DD, DGS and DS last night. Muffin top today. Carb bloat. Will try to keep things clean and at a minimal today. They leave at 7:00 pm but are with me every week from Thursday until Sunday evening due to her job (and my babysitting). Ugh….. She is my 100 lb soaking wet size triple zero daughter that is a HUGE foodie. Constantly eating little bites of everything ALL THE TIME. She brings in a LOT of food (carries TOTES full everywhere she goes!). I need a BACKBONE!
🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️06/04 –192.0 ❌ - (Trend Weight: ???) Well, the scale took a day but it caught up with some ice cream sandwiches from night before last (yes, plural). The fiddler always insists on his pay and he’s a greedy little bast##d. Anyway, I could not get my trend weight today because I transferred the weight from my smart scale to my fitbit app incorrectly as 92 lbs instead of 192 pounds. Can’t seem to get it to recognize the change even with restarting computer, restarting phone etc. I hope it will eventually adjust today. If not, I hope it will not mess up the future trends as tomorrows weight will look like a 100 pound increase overnight! Ah, technology was to make life easier, right? My weight is still down from last weigh-in so that’s a good thing but I know I can do better at snack time. Meals have been perfect. Night time snacks are the Enemy right now.

CURRENT MONTH:
06/01–192.8 ❌ -(Trend Weight – 193.9)
06/04-192.0 ✅ - (Trend Weight - 193.3) I finally did manage to get my trend weight today afterall by figuring out how to delete it in my fitbit so I’ve now posted it here. My weight is still down from last weigh-in so that’s a good thing but I know I can do better at snack time. Meals have been compliant. Night time snacks are the Enemy right now. I do continue to trend down and that leaves me hopeful and makes me feel as if my body has faith in me. I won’t let it down!
🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️06/11—191.2 ✅ (Trend Weight – 192.2) Down almost another pound and over a pound in the trend weight this week and I’m very grateful for that. However, making goal is going to be damn near impossible and goal is only a 2.4 lb loss for June. Gosh, this is hard! I think water, incorporating more planned, intention REAL exercise (and not just movement) and resisting the snack monsters at night is key for me. Those are all goals I really need to work on. BTW, due to the length of this challenge, I LOVE that we will be able to see ourselves and our efforts LONG TERM. Patterns, what has helped vs what has hurt, how small changes have helped, how exercise affects us, how restaurant meals, traveling, hormones, bouts of depression and how support from others make a difference. This challenge is offering the BIG PICTURE. I hope others will join and share their stories and their journeys.
