For me:
I am consistently up around 130 these days, so will stop telling myself it's water weight or because of all my training and will focus on getting back to 125 (I doubt I will in this time period, but that's the goal). I also will finish my marathon, stay consistent with my workout schedule and remember to log miles and hours in the chart, and take a break from desserts and sweet snacks. I'm also going to log my sleep regularly and work on getting 6 hours/night more consistently.
I have some other Lent-related things I'm doing, which I may or may not post about.0 -
So I came within 2lbs of my goal then jumped back up to 215 which means a net of 2lbs lost. Ugh so frustrating!
My goals over the next 6 weeks are
1) get to 210lbs
2)stay hydrated
3)get plenty of sleep
4)keep consistent running(marathon in 18weeks)
5) stay clear of candy( which will be hard because I love Easter candy),cakes,ice cream, donuts,cookies. I will make a small exception for my son's b-day on March 10.
6) log everything and be under calories.
7) not let the planning of my daughter's wedding stress me to the point it is detrimental to losing weight.0 -
My goal will be to get under 150. I've been creeping steadily down from 156 to 153, then jump right back up again. I will work toward this personal goal of 149.9 (haha) in this challenge by logging my food daily, eating at a deficit daily, limiting sweets, drinking 72 ounces of water or more daily, and exercising at least 40 minutes every day. I will continue to keep my journal as it helps me maintain focus.
Wishing you all the best in this challenge! You can do it!0 -
I'd like to get under 120 (just under 125 right now). I also want to get more sleep and do well in school, keep on top of applying for internships and things. Also cutting back on desserts (I eat a lot of sweets... like, a lot) and going to jiu jitsu two or three times a week. And I'm going to keep up with my journal!
I'm excited

I'd like to get to 132.2 which is 8.6 pounds. I keep doing the yo-yo thing and it's making me crazy. It's a daily struggle and I don't seem to be able to get away with anything these days! So...get my exercising done, watch my portions, log everything and stay within my calorie allotment.

To get under 140 I was there for one week and then it disappeared so I'll start there and then work further along.0

1) I want to at least get to 92 lbs and maintain it.
2) I want to maintain my workout routine. I have just started.
3) Lessen my carb and sugar intake (less than my usual anyways).
4) I want to have a continuous streak on my mfp diary at least until this ends.0 -
So far this year, I have been bouncing around 156 to 159. Last week, I decided I needed to just take it back to the basics that got me through year one. The scale is now once again moving down. So for this challenge I will be attempting to get it under 150 to about 147. The game plan is:
1. Log daily
2. Sleep 7-8 hours each night
3. Avoid highly processed foods
4. Be active
5. Prepare most of our meals at home0 -

This is exactly what I'm trying to do.0 -
My boyfriend is home for the week before Easter. (He's on the road for work until then.) I have lost 8 pounds since January. I want to lose another 12 before he gets back. Which would get me halfway to my goal of losing 40 pounds by June. I am focusing on balanced nutrition, eating a paleo/keto diet, and incorporating a manageable exercise program into my life. I have PCOS so losing weight has been historically very difficult. However, I'm loving my success with my new diet regime!0

2. Maintain weight and muscle tone
3.Use exercise bike for cardio
3.Get back to running pace and distance
4.Trail Race end of month

My challenge goal is to lose 8 lbs by planning my meals to incorporate more veggies and healthy snacks, actually exercising more than twice a week versus "planning" to, and be more active throughout the day.0
