Hi!
My name is Jaime and I am new to this wonderful website! Motivation is something that I love to give and receive. This challenge means losing 6lbs but I am going to shoot for 8 (2 lbs each week)!
No doubt we can all do this with a lot of hard work, strong mind set and positive words from our peers!

I've put on a lot of weight recently and need to get it off, because I don't like seeing a stranger in the mirror. Also I need to job-hunt and extra weight is not an advantage.
I'm exercising every non-workday, plus walking on weekdays, but my real strategy for reaching 4% in 4 weeks is to change my eating. I just started a strict low-sugar, low-carb diet last thursday. That was 16 Aug, so I've got until Thursday 13 Sept to meet the challenge.
starting weight: 177.8
goal weight: 170.6
I can lose weight (with effort), but my long-term challenges are (1) to keep the weight off for more than 6 months, and (2) to get better at returning to controlled eating after I've gotten used to having sugar. As soon as I allow sugar, it keeps creeping higher every day and I don't notice it's becoming too much.
What I've decided to do is 6-day-per-week with very strict diet and 1-day-per-week of free eating. The reason I want to do the 6-day/1-day routine is because it will give me practice, practice, practice at making the transition from free-eating to controlled-intake. That is my challenge and that's what I'm going to work on. If you think extreme swings are a bad idea, I understand your reasoning but I'd rather not hear negative feedback about my plan.
P.S. I know some people who do the 6-day/1-day routine say that occasional abundance will trick the thyroid into thinking you're not starving. That would be nice it it's true, but I'm very highly skeptical. Biology is never simple.0 -
I'm all over it. My 4% is 8.9 .I'm a little nervous but I'm up for a challenge! Let's do it0

Shalea, I think it's 4% of your total weight rather than your goal loss so your 4% target would be 10lbs, hope this helps 0

Hello. Thank you for starting this group. My goal is 10 lbs. I am excited. I think I can do it. I have been walking everyday for at least 30-45 minutes. I also am doing zumba at least 3 times a week for about 30 minutes. I am also putting in some strength training as well. I am planning to try to stay under my caloric goal each day. Hopefully this works. Feel free to add me and we can motivate each other. My weigh in days are on Sunday mornings.0
