    I plan to start some cardio. I get in the challenges for strength but no cardio.
    Must balance

    What and where are you finding challenges for exercise? I could use a challenge. I'm am struggling to keep on my workout schedule and have not been watching my eating.

    I see this was started way back in August, but I'm in. My last weigh-in was 10/30. I'll start there if that's ok... if not I'm weighing tomorrow for some challenges and I'll count it from tomorrow.

    10.30.17 - 377.5 lbs

    Unfortunately the scale is going up. But hopefully I can stop it and make changes before I undo everything I've been working for.

    Just tracking all my food on MFP and trying to get 10,000 steps a day. I have some days where the food isn't great, but I try to always get right back on track the next day.

    2 lbs down, total of 12 since we started this. S-l-o-w progress, but still it’s progress. 7 weeks to go, am determined to keep moving forward.

    Good morning!
    Oh wow you are doing so great!
    I think one of the reasons it's slow is because it's winter time. The body is designed to store more fat to keep us warm the colder it gets. It's not trying to let you take out the fat easily at this time.
    In summer it's hot so more sweating to cool down.
    But you are doing really great! Keep it up!

    Thanks everyone for being part of this challenge. You are an inspiration to me! This is my first time and I can't say enough about how the weekly weigh in has helped me focus and be accountable. I am not sure I will hit the 30 pounds by Christmas as I'm averaging a pound a week. I will be thrilled if I can arrive in "Onederland"!

    I agree! It has been motivating to me to be held accountable each Monday. I'd love to do another of these when this one is done, if anyone else is interested!

    Sorry, trying to respond to specific post, but the copy/paste thing keeps screwing up.
    Anyway, to Kakramme I just wanted to agree how helpful this site is and I, too, would be interested in continuing beyond the holiday. But for now & the next 6 weeks, I need to refocus my efforts...what works for me: planning, prep, portion size. This is typically a bad 2 month period, when actually the holidays are only 2 days!!!
