Starting Weight

kayjosh2422 · April 2017

I will have the weekly weigh ins, as well as the spreadsheet, do one or both or neither, it's up to you. While we all want to drop the weight I hope this challenge will help us put the weight loss on the back burner and concentrate on our exercise, eating and mindset. I do think until we get all three working together it is only at that time we will see that scale move. So this week, let's make it a point to get our water in and at least 30 minutes of walking, running, yoga or some form of exercise. Good luck and let's BREAK THROUGH THE WALL!!!

Hi there

It's that time again to look behind but mainly look ahead.

"Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have - life itself "

Targets for last week
1 kg to loose - I lost 0.8kg 1.5 pound nearly

20 km run per week I only had 2 runs 12.06+8.78= 20.84
Stay eating healthy and 8 glasses of water - I think I done well

Target for this week
1 kg to loose
25 km to run
Avoid bread and chocolate
Stay eating healthy
8 glasses of water

Hi Everyone,

OK, let's get started - here are my stats:
MFP SW: 238 lbs
UGW: 140 lbs
CSW: 205.8 lbs
CGW: 185.8 lbs

I plan to focus on 3 areas each week in an effort to resolve my myriad of bad habits. Starting off on Week 1 are the 3 biggies:
- Drink 8 cups of water each day
- Exercise 6 days per week - Curves and walking
- Eliminate unhealthy snacks

I'm hoping to lose 20 lbs during this Challenge and, in doing so, begin to replace some of my bad habits with more healthy ones.

Best of luck to everyone. Have a wonderful (and successful) first week.

You all have inspired me. I'm up for the weekly goals too.

#1 Drink more water. I'd like to drink 8 glasses but I'll be happy with at least 4.

#2 Exercise 4-6 days a week in addition to walking. I've made walking a habit. I do 1 to 1 1/2 miles at lunch, 1/2 mile on my break, and 2 miles after work with my dog. I've been sporadic about exercising. I do good for two or three days and then I stop for a week before exercising again.
I'm trying to do 30 minutes of yoga in the morning. After that I do 30 minutes of exercise with light weights. If I can keep that routine up I know I can make it a habit as well.

Good luck to everyone in reaching your goals and have a great week!

This is what I need to get my exercise started again. Today is the first day of walking, 100 days should set it into habit mode. We shall see!

This challenge takes place over a weeks holiday, a friends wedding and so on. I am hoping that this will help keep me in check for these events.

Still have lots of bloating, which is telling me that I really need to cut down on dairy and massively increase my water! I've been hitting my step goals of 5500 each day this week so far, so I think I'm going to increase it a bit.
