Hi, I’d like to join, too. I have lost 62.9 lbs since Jan, 2016. (~40 lbs in the past 10 months.) 5’8.5”
I hit my High End Normal BMI weight recently, but I can see that I need to lose more: probably at least 10 lbs.
My goal is to lose 1-2 lbs per month, gradually easing into maintenance (and further cementing my new habits) & giving my skin a chance to adjust a bit.
Tentative Plan:
SW for Challenge: 165.4 BMI: 24.8 July 21
Whoa! 163.8 BMI: 24.5 Crazy! July 24
Curious to see if this is “real”...

Hey everyone, I just joined today and I know I'm a bit late but may I still join? I am 5 ft 3, 142 lbs, and 41 years old. My goal weight is 122 lbs which I feel is reasonable for my frame. I could definitely benefit from this challenge! Also, anyone here please feel free to add me as a friend.2

Good morning all,
I’ve been using this app for food tracking for over 3 years. I managed to lose 40 pounds over my first year and then I got lazy and stopped eating well.
I do Zumba 5-7 days per week but I stopped strength training when I started grad school last year.
I restarted my efforts last week on my birthday.
I want my 47th year to be healthy and strong.
I’ve started with the loseweightbyeating detox week.
I’m 5’3; 180 lbs
my short term goal is 160
My ultimate goal is to get to 140
My goals:
Finish detox week then
Continue the daily smoothie challenge
Increase my strength training to 2 times per week.
Thank you
What is detox week and daily smoothie challenge m0 -

I'm in!! I was struggling to lose weight and then fell into a pretty deep depression this past year and packed on an additional 60 pounds...so with 100 at least to lose, 20 in 20 sounds like a good start. I'm eating a LOT of veggies and drinking a LOT of water to help with the loss. That coupled with no carbs for dinner time I've lost 10 lbs these past 2 weeks so I think I got this!3

I’m 43. I want to lose 20 lbs as well. I weigh 137.8.
I’m choosing to do some form of exercise 7 days a week. Counting calories/staying under 1200 a day.2 -

Lost about 1.3 lbs last week! But went on holiday on Friday - yesterday, so I think I have put it back on and then some!
Back again to keeping diary at 1200 and getting in my running despite the heatwave 😫3 -
My July goal was to get to 167 and I weighed in at 168! I'm going to take it and hope that the month of August is even better!4

I’m so happy with my results this week! I wasn’t sure about stepping on the scale today because of my period, I was feeling bloated yesterday and all the cramps hit me at once and yikes! Anyway, I’m glad I did at the end. Hope everyone had a great week, let’s keep it up! 👊🏼6 -
Week 3 check in - Hello everyone , keep up the good work, one day and one choice at a time, keep doing the best you can and allow yourself to enjoy each day without regret. It was a challenging week for me, not much movement on the scale, but memories were made, and some evenings were filled with laughter. Sad to reconnect with old friends over cocktails at a funeral but life is what it is. Poor meal choices meeting for coffe, lunch or dinner with traveling friends visiting from out of town. Over it, forgiven myself and moving on. My steps have increased from about 4000 a day to 7-8000 a day in preparation for a 5k in September. I have been working in my yard and garden, decluttering the house to keep busy and not just sit n snack all evening. Busy weekend coming up with three events - a housewarming, a wedding and pink flamingo cocktail party. Just got to be wise with my choices and enjoy the time with friends. I choose to dance with my challenges instead of spar and fight. Have a great week everyone!

Week 2 check-in
7/20: 164.4
7/27: 162.8
8/3: 161.8
I just made my 1 lb goal this week! Going for 1 lb is a lot harder than the 0.5 lbs I've been doing. I seem to run out of calories before dinner unless I do a pretty decent workout. I'm worried about making my goal for next, but feeling determined to hit my calorie goals.
I've been doing pretty good with my back-strengthening and stretching exercises and the biking was also good this week. I've just added a 30 day squat challenge for August. I've only done 2 days and I'm already a bit sore!
To everyone else in the group - hang in there and keep up the good work!4 -

Dieting method:
No exercise, just walking around doing errands. Eating Whole Foods on a keto diet, 1500-2500 calories a day. I eat around 2 tbsp of chia seeds a day for fiber. I also eat only 1 to 2 meals a day, only snacking during the meal.

Hey all!
Silence from me for a while since I haven’t been doing too well, but I need to remember it’s the accountability that’s important! I read through and am so encouraged by many peoples progress!
I realized I need to focus a lot more on my sleep habits and on finding alternatives to eating when bored, stressed, etc.
I’m going to focus on that this week, and on revising my calorie goals.
I’d like to work on fitness next- one step at a time!
Current stats: 5’1.5, 140lbs
GW: 120 lbs
GCals: 1600 cals/day ALL WEEK- none of this binging some days nonsense; 3-4 meals a day
GWO: 3-4 45min workouts a week
GS: 10k steps a day
Good luck y’all!3 -

Hi everyone! After weighing in this morning, I have managed to get back to my loss before the holiday. So everything back on track. Now at 168.25.
I was really hungry last night and ended up having to get up in the night and have something to eat. So I am thinking of upping my calories to 1420 a day - which is what MFP says would get me to 1 lb a week loss.4 -
