Commit to losing 1 pound a week in 2013 challenge
Replies

On Christmas Day I calculated that if I lose 1 pound a week starting 12-25 than I would reach my EXACT GOAL of 145 on 12-31-13! Pretty cool!!!!!
1 pound a week is very doable and sustainable! This is not a race, right? I plan to make this a gradual lifestyle change. I started by reducing my processed foods, adding in more fruits and veggies and of course, logging on MFP. I have started walking and will add in weights and jogging and eliptical. And whatever other cardio catches my fancy.
So, WANT TO JOIN MY CHALLENGE? I'm looking to have a strong group of friends to support each other and reach our goals in 2013! FRIEND ME AND THE OTHERS IN THIS THREAD. :flowerforyou:
Post in this thread when you weigh in and lose your pound for that week. Doesn't matter what your weigh in day is. :-). Encourage others who are struggling!!! Post your plans to adopt a healthy lifestyle... We can all learn from each other!
Let's do this the RIGHT WAY THIS TIME!!! SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE!!!!!!
would be awesome to have a weekly tread anyone know how to do it ?0 -
YES I want to try, I forgot my password lol on my other account so I am starting over new. On my annaversery I was given a Health Coach, who said I had the knowledge but didnt have motivation, so she suggested this place. I started in 7/12 at 333 and when I weighed myself today 308.7. I am on track to your with your challenge. I have type 2 diabetis (since 2004) and asthma (all my life) I did a stupid thing and moved a heavy couch and hurt my back 15 years ago and it reminds me every so often. lol my physical pain in the butt. I am 48 and am going thru menapause lol, horray! But here gose every pound I hate.0

Then from there I'll work on the last 10 lbs!
My body fat is currently 37%0 -
