No matter where you are on your weight loss journey, it is important to set realistic, measurable, and obtainable goals. The first challenge is this:

Post 1-3 goals you can achieve by the end of 12 weeks that you want others to help hold you accountable to.
Then post 1-2 goals for the week. At least one of them should be something you can control.


Here's mine. Feel free to use it as an example.

Finish line(Week 12):
Weight goal: lose 12 lb's
Exercise goal: complete 30 day calisthenics challenge
Nutrition goal: 60 days under mfp calories allowed

Week 1:
Weight goal: Lose 1.2 lb
Nutrition goal: 5 days

    Goals by week 12:
    Lose 8 pounds (this will be all of my recently regained weight)
    Hit week 6 of C25K training
    Make water goal at least 80% of the time

    Week 1:
    8 glasses of water at least 5 of 7 days
    Exercise minimum of 30 minutes at least 4 days


    I'm giving myself extra time for the C25K program as I have recently recovered from an ankle injury.

    My goals for this 12 week challenge period...

    1) Lose 12 lbs.
    (I would like to put 15-20 lbs, but we said to set realistic goals)

    2) Drink more water, less diet sodas & coffee
    (Even those diet and skinny coffee drinks - aren't making me so skinny. LOL)

    3) Continue with my current running schedule - Run 2-3 days during the week, long runs on Saturday.
    Add in cross training - Walking, eliptycal or other activity on more of the off days.
    By using the fitbit, I should be focusing on hitting 10K steps during the week. On days of long run, target should be 20K steps.

    Goal wtloss = 16lbs to add to my 14lb loss of the previous 3mos.
    Goal measurement = 2 inches off waist, I call this FIND MY WAIST!
    Goal nutrition = keep daily protein intake north of 70g, but the closer to 90g the better
    Goal exercise = signed up for 800 crunches for month of July, although I am aiming for 900/month for July and August. I have been avoiding crunches in my exercise routine , so I needed this challenge for the group Parenting 35y+

    Weeks one and two: I have loss 1.4 lbs and my waist is down 0.25 inches.

    Finish Line (week 12)
    Weight goal: Lose 12 lbs
    Fit my goal dress. I lost my measuring tape, but this would definitely show I lost the inches!

    Week 1:
    Weight goal: Weigh 133.6 (1 lb loss)
    Nutrition goal: No gluten for the rest of the week (have a sensitivity driving me nuts!)

    I did a challenge back in January where I went gluten/dairy free for 3 weeks. My digestion wasn't too great before, but when I reverted, my digestion has been terrible! So, I'm doing it again. And this time, I won't revert! Allow 1 serving 2 times a week, but that's it!
