I just started adding weights- woof I'm a weakling! I'll be 48 in October and I'm taking my life back from unhealthy eating and laziness. I teach college and have an hour commute each way so I spend a lot of time sitting and driving. I've been using mfp for 10 days and I've lost 5 pounds. Who would have thought 1200 calories could be filling! I'm more active and I love it. So count me in! I have 45 pounds to my goal weight of 145. With the holidays approaching the extra motivation and support will be great!6

I am about a week and a half into this, but I'm been staying at 1500 cals per day, I was at 4000 per day. I started at 255 lbs and lost 6.5 in a week and a half. I'm definitely down. I would love to hit 230 by Thanksgiving.7

Hello everyone! My name is Stephanie, 28,and I'm from Texas. I'm a day late but I would love to join in! My starting weight is 246 pounds and my goal is to be at 216 pounds by Thanksgiving! I just started a plant-based diet (today is my 10th day & I've lost 4 lbs so far) but plan on having an occasional "cheat" or include some sort of meat or dairy here and there. I will be eating at a 500 calorie deficit and committing to at least five 30 minute workouts per week, eventually adding weight training to the mix. I hope to reach my goal with hard work and some motivation and accountability from this thread! Good luck everyone!2

I would like to join in. Been through a bit of depression and added extra weight but starting today I want to get a new healthier me. Weighed in at the dr office today at 222. I want to be 202 by Thanksgiving!
According to this app I should get 1800 calories a day and according to my dr 30 sweating mins in the gym 5 times a week.
Let's do this!!3 -
I'm in! This should be fun!0
-
I'm in. Friends welcomed. 5'7" 268 pounds. Goal 243 pounds.3
-
I am in! I am just getting back to the site. So looking for any challenges and friends to help keep me motivated!!1

98 days left!!!
Another 3.25 miles in this morning! Keep at it. I plan on weighing myself on Tuesdays.2 -
I'm joining in! 5'10'' female here, currently at 248lbs (down 16 from 5 weeks ago when I started!). I think 25lbs is doable by Thanksgiving. I'm going on a trip to Seattle the week before, so this will hopefully help keep me on my goals while on vacation.
Feel free to add me! 2 -
Please add me! I'm new to My Fitness Pal and this challenge is just what I'm looking for. I'm a 56 year old woman with 30 pounds to lose, I'd like to see 20 gone by Thanksgiving.1
-
Count me in! 5'7" female at 260s looking for a good challenge (especially around holiday season).2
-
I plan on weighing and posting on here on Mondays- Anyone else want to do this? Anyone want to make a spreadsheet for this so that everyone can post weight loss numbers in there? (Im too dense to figure it out myself)?

Potluck at work today..... I tried to be good... but banana pudding was there.....
Extra steps, and sweat this afternoon.

I'm in. This is my first group! I need to lose at least 50 - 60 more overall. (Lost 7 so far and want to lose around 10 extra - planning for slight gain back/struggle range.)
100 days is around 14 weeks, so I will aim for 25 pounds and secretly hope for more!
My goals are 1) enough sleep 2) weights 3X week (I do 3 leg/ 3 arms/ 3 stomach or trunk) and since I am at the gym, I do cardio on those days. 4) walk 3 miles or swim on three other days 5) stay in calorie range
Toughest is getting enough sleep. I am not a perfectionist though and do have zero exercise days. I have just started using the walking pal app -it's helpful!
A few years ago my doc said if a person walks or runs 3 miles a day, weight will not be a problem. I doubt I will ever walk or run 3 miles everyday, but am aiming at 3x per week as a lifetime habit.
Go for it!1
