50 days weight loss challenge!

I walked for an hour - 2 miles - with my hubby and our grandpuppy then dropped them at the house and continued by myself for another hour - 4 miles - this morning before it got really hot. We walk around the playground and the sports field at the grammar school down the street. They had their giant sprinklers going at 8:30 this morning and we were all running through them and having a great time! It's so much fun to walk with the pup!

Hope everyone has a great Monday.

So excited! I never lose much more than a pound but this week was great. 2.2 lbs lost this week! So close to breaking into 'onederland'!

I was shocked when I got on the scale this morning! Woohoo that 5k yesterday paid off!

Hi all, I've not checked in for a couple of days as I've been incredibly busy at work. The good news is that I've managed to hit my exercise and calorie goals even though I've been carrying a hip injury for about three weeks so can't really run. So I've upped my bike riding and swimming, as well as throwing in a couple of gym sessions, and that seems to be doing the trick. I'm looking forward to my weigh in at the weekend as I need to start shifting these pounds for this challenge.

Hope everyone else is doing OK out there.

Day 13 for me today: yesterday didn't end up too great, as I left it too late to eat when I got home so I ate stuff as I got my meal ready. But I didn't completely crash and burn so I'm hanging onto that.

I went to see my personal trainer today, it was a pretty brutal session before work - and I'm not too great in the mornings. But it's done now; and if I can get out of work on time, I'm going to try and fit in a spin class on the way home (to make up for yesterday's failings).

This is the point that I usually bale out of this sort of thing, so I'm committing to keep on posting till I get to the end of the 50 days. So it's good to hear how everyone else is doing.

Cheers all.

I would love to take the challenge, I leave for vacation in 9 weeks. Since I lost 30 pounds, I've been at a stand still maybe the challenge will help me shed the last 15 pounds.

I'm in:)

day 2 for me. Eating cleanish ok so far and carbs are low, but not non-existent as I need some for energy. But early days lol. A bit early to be reporting weight loss but I am 1.4lb down but that is not just due to yesterday of course.

I'm in!!! I go on vacation in 61 days (July 31) and would like to lose at least 20 pounds.

A bit about me, I am a 41 y/o female. I am 5"7 and currently weigh 166.2, my goal weight is 130.0. This is my second time using MFP as a weight loss tool. The first time I was extremely successful with diet and exercise and lost 37 pounds and 25 inches in about 4 months time, but then I had some female health issues and became sedentary finishing school and gained it all back:( I am sick of feeling terrible about myself and I think that if I make my profile public I will feel accountable to myself and all those out there who are working towards a similar goal. I gain a lot of inspiration from reading others success stories, so once I am successful (and I will be!), I hope to be an inspiration for others who need it.
I am not someone who has always been over weight, in fact until the age of 29 when I had my daughter my normal weight was always around 120, however sometimes the way I maintained that weight was healthy and sometimes not so healthy. When I got pregnant I let the skinny girl eat and gained 61 pounds. After about 3 years I was down to about 134, got pregnant again and gained another 61 pounds (apparently I didn't learn my lesson the first time!!). So here I am again, attempting to lose the weight!!
I NEED support so please feel free to friend me! I would love to lose 20 pounds by July 31! This is day 1 for me!

Hi all, it's day 15 for me. I weighed in yesterday and was really pleased to lose 3 pounds. Being a bit older, and right in the middle of the menopause, it's tougher to drop pounds. I went open water swimming yesterday, it was a bit chilly but my wetsuit helped - and today I went on a 20 mile bike ride - I found some lovely off road trails and worked pretty hard. I needed to do that as I ate out last night - and didn't make great choices! But back on the wagon today and ready for another good week!!

I'm all in

New to this forum but really need it! Was a runner until stress fracture grounded me 9 weeks ago, and prior to that put on a few pounds over holidays...starting program today to lose 15 pounds. Lifecycle this morning 40 minutes.

Yes! I'm in! I need the motivation - I've found it so hard to lose these last 15 pounds. I think my body has set itself to 150 lbs and I need to break that set point. I'm 42, have hypothyroidism, and perimenopause has me by the ovaries. I'm going to show them who's boss. LET'S DO THIS!

Enjoy the swim! It's sweltering here in Ontario, Canada. I hit the gym at my lunch, but I see that myfitnesspal doesn't calculate calories burned for weight lifting only (I am going to walk 2.5 kilometers with the dogs tonight). I hear you on the "watching others steadily gain weight" thing. Facebook allows me to see everyone I went to high school with; unfortunately, most are really overweight.

I’m having to remind myself that things are still going well even though the scale is making me crazy. I knew I would hover at 200 because it’s stressful for me. I’m trying to let go of the stress around it so it will MOVE! I also hate the “complete entry” button on MFP because every time I click it, it shows that I should be losing well over a 5 week period… but actuality is very different!!!
