    @ToadstoolBetty welcome back and please let us know how we can help support you better to achieve your weight goals:)

    I totally understand that it's really difficult to resist that urge to finish the kids plate, I was guilty of that too. Remember that this excess weight didn't come overnight and that it needs to be addressed one day, one bad habit at a time. Tomorrow is another day

    Good luck everyone! Going to start tracking and meeting my suggested macros and hoping this is going to help with the last 20lbs! Does anyone else track macros? And have you had any success? I’m surprised how off I am in my suggested % for each although today’s probably not the best day to start!

    @MiltonBuddy I track macros cause I started Keto and it's a real challenge to stay on track with macros ... meal planning helps me a lot

    Hey everyone, i am super excited for this challenge! I'm 26, i have three boys 7,3, and 4 months old. Since starting my journey in January as soon as i got the ok from my doctor to start working out again, I've lost 19lbs and 29 inches from all over my body. My ultimate goal is to lose 40 more pounds. My biggest weakness is sweets. i workout atleast 3 times a week and eat clean for the most part. My biggest problem is chocolate and cookies. I'll be good for a few days and then go on an eating spree and feel guilty afterwards. I'm really hoping this group will keep me motivated to stay focused one meal at a time. Let's get it everyone! My usual weigh in day is Wednesday but i did weigh myself today.

    I'm excited to continue this journey with everyone. I, like many of you, have struggled with weight most of my life. At 58 years old and 5'2, carrying 170 lbs around is just not healthy. I hope to continue to be inspired by you all and thank you, @Djou11, for stepping up and captaining this crew. Let's do this!

    Next Sunday if your weigh in day is Sunday for week 1 as they already have your start weight.

    Okay my weigh in day is Monday so then I’d post next Monday since I already wrote my starting weight?

    @Djou11, thanks for being our new team captain.
    I have been on MFP since Aug 2012 and have lost a couple of lbs here and there,but 2017 was the best year of my life. I lost a whopping 52 lbs. Unfortunately, I got derailed over the past Thanksgiving and Xmas holidays and regained 8 lbs which I have been trying to lose for the past 3 months. I go to the gym about 4 days a week but I need to overcome my love for my savory crunchy snacks. My goal for this year is to lose another 20 lbs and I know that I can do it.
    My weigh in day is Tuesdays

    Hello, everyone! I am excited to start this challenge and get to know some of you!
    I'm Stacy, 31, and have two boys ages 10 and 8. I had been a stay-at-home mom for 10 years and started working at my kids' school part time to get out of the house. I used MFP a few years ago to lose 30 pounds in about two months but I gained it ALL back! Been going to the gym for a week and eating clean, starting low carb today!

    @lar25473 I can keep your starting weight for today's weigh in if you want but technically your starting weight would have been your weight on Saturday March 31st. If you wait until next Monday (April 9th) that will be your weight for week 2

    How did you Mini Daily Challenge go??
    I am happy to report that I forced down the last few ounces of water a few minutes ago... a total of 100 oz of H2O :)

    Friendly reminder to my Sunday, Monday and Tuesday weigh ins ... still missing quite a few of you guys :) Let's see those numbers :)
