      UGW: 175

      Only about 5 days tracking due to when I started. Al's didn't get as much exercise in as planned as my lo poorly so was home, meaning I didn't make classes and get to walk like I'd planned.

      Need to plan in dinners. Always my failing and normally where it all goes wrong!

      Onwards and downwards

      Hmm... Maybe I'll give this a shot. But I'm a late-comer, so I'll aim for 20, but be happy with a more realistic 10-15. I'm restarting my diet today. I like the idea of an intermediate goal. :)

      Hello! My name is Michelle. I am late getting on this challenge bandwagon, but I am hitting the ground running! I have a lofty goal of losing 21 pounds by Easter. This means a loss of .35 pounds per day, 2.62 pounds per week, and 10.5 pounds per month. With proper diet, fitness, and sleep, I think it will be possible. I realize I may have to further curb my social life, but my health is more important than a night out at the bar. Here is my list of instructions to myself so that I stay focused.

      1. Reach out to MFP friends for daily support.
      2. Get to bed no later than 9:00 p.m. each night.
      3. Limit time on phone and laptop before bed.
      4. Eat nothing after 8:00 p.m.
      5. Pre-log food for Saturday and Sunday to avoid weekend food binges.
      6. Choose ONE cheat item for Saturday (no full cheat days).
      7. Stay at or under 1200 calories per day (do not count extra workout calories).
      8. Rely on your measuring tape for a true reflection of your progress.
      9. Do some sort of physical activity every day (even if you can't get to the gym).
      10. Attend group HIIT classes four days each week.

      I am late on starting this challenge but I am up for it. I started (again) two weeks ago at 183, and have lost 3 lbs so far, just by changing certain foods. This week I am adding treadmill walking. My goal is 130 lbs by next December, 31, 2016. I am giving myself one year to lose 50, but if I lose it before that.....bonus!

      Hi everyone!

      Easter is on March 27th this year... that sounds like a great date to aim to lose 20 pounds by! Anyone else going to join me? I love this style of challenge :)

      CW: 194
      GW: 174

      My long term goal is 134 but I am working in 20 pound increments! I've lost the weight so far with a reduced calorie diet and daily walking.

      Hope others decide to join me and I hope to see lots of goals being met!

      Hi there!

      I'm just getting back in the grove and ready to make some positive changes. This sounds fun and I love a good challenge. Great way to stay motivated. So how are we doing this, or what have you all been doing so far?
