"12 Weeks Weightloss Challenge" All Welcome

Logging in a little late. I've been logging into MFP on my phone. This is too much to do on the phone.

Last week: 3 days away at a dog show was tough to keep my exercise and diet goals. Although I surpassed my daily step goals (12,000 steps over goal), I didn't exercise those 3 days and I logged 1200 calories over goal per day for those 3 days. Pleasantly surprised I didn't gain! Still, I managed 6:15 which is up from the previous week. Liking that trend.

Plan for this week: I lowered my exercise goals for this week to 8 hours and 56,000 steps. I need to relearn the discipline it takes to hit those higher goals and turn it into a habit.

Wonderful tip, Izzy! That truly does resonate with me, as I have had to learn to stop "punishing" myself, and be kinder and more tolerant of my own missteps. Taking a gentler approach and remaining steadfast with my goal has brought me results, 12 weeks on and going for another 12! Thank you for that reminder

First time on my home computer all week so, updating the challenge now.
Last week: Plan was 8 hours of working out and 56,000 steps. Actual wasn't even close. 6 hours of workouts and only 33,000 steps (although there was a day I didn't wear the tracker for most of the day). *sigh*. As for eating, I managed to go out to dinner and stay under goal!

This week: Continue with 8 hours of working out as goal and 56,000 steps. This is a good starting point. So, what will I do differnt? 1) schedule it earlier in the day when will power is higher/stronger and, 2) add some small rewarding pleasures that I can work towards - Starbucks iced teas are a lower reward that works as a great motivator for me - Yes, rewarding with food isn't great. However, I need to sprinkle some treats in my diet or life becomes about deprivation.

I'm on my last few days of these steroids thank god so I'm going to come back and start a new 12 week challenge in a week or two when everything has settled down. I'm 5lbs heavier than my goal for this challenge and I missed two weeks but I didn't gain on the steroids and that is brilliant! A few more pound will bring me to 4 stone from my highest weight and I hit 3 stone lost since I started MFP this week that is a big achievement and I'm committed to losing the rest of this weight and get to a healthy weight. I'm fitter than I have been in years but there is room for improvement there too.

Good luck to all you guys starting out and believe me you can do it!
