Taking a leap of faith here, and assume that my request to reenter this group is granted.
I started here in march, and was active until mid july, when life happened.
During spring I went from 245 to 213, probably back at 225 now ( first weigh check for two months tomorrow). I've taken a good holiday, and I've just put everything aside for a while.
Started lifting again two weeks ago, and am in for a full start now.
My target is (still) 180lbs by july 1st, and most important, I hope to lose as much fat and maintain as much muscles as possible. This is my 40 yo crisis, and I intend to look my best since college the summer I'm 40.

Hi everyone, I'm Kelly. This is my first time joining the challenge and I'm looking forward to the additional accountability of all you internet strangers relying on me to help the team win!
A little about myself -- 42yo F from Ontario, Canada. I'm married with two kids (18yo boy and 19yo girl). I'm about to be a semi empty-nester as we move the kids off to the University this weekend. I work from home in a pretty stressful job so I'm on the hunt for some new hobbies so that my job doesn't become my entire life without the kids around to keep me busy.
My starting weight is 170.6lbs and my weigh in day is Thursday. I hope to lose 5-7lbs this month.5 -

Hi all, this will be my 7th month with the team! I had some good losses the first few months but have been gaining and losing the same 5 pounds now since July. I am ready to recommit now and hope to lose (and keep off) 5 pounds this month. For exercise I like to walk, do water aerobics and recently joined a gym to do strength training. What does everyone else like to do for exercise?2

Hello Team Run Track Minds and Welcome to September!!
My name is Tracy @tlgale I will be your captain for this month.
I added a little about myself in my previous comment, please feel free to introduce yourselves and share your goals for the month as well.
We are going to be running a (Optional) Mini-Challenge this month: Daily Posts/Ultimate Accountability
First and foremost is that participation in the challenge is optional. It's up to you as to whether you want to try this. If you don't want to participate in these challenges, you don't have to, the choice is yours, but I would like to encourage you to participate as it seems to help keep us on track and thinking about our goals on a daily basis and it's encouraging to see other's successes and struggles so that we realize that we are not alone!!
The Daily Posts Challenge is based on another challenge on MFP called UAC (ultimate accountability challenge). The way UAC works is that the aim is to follow 5 basic rules.
#1. Track EVERYTHING you eat that has calories.
#2. Stay inside your allocated daily budget.
#3. Try to do at least 20 minutes of activity a day (anything: walk, run, cycle, swim, gardening, housework, yoga, gym, etc.. As long as it gets you active and off the couch)
#4. 1 pass day permitted per week (went over calories, could not track, not enough exercise, intentional pass)
#5. Check in daily (tracking yes/no, calories yes/no, exercise yes/no).
****End of the week. those who have managed to keep to plan for 6 out of 7 days are recognized in the thread as being part of the weekly "winners circle". This is not the same as the official results, which are weight based, this is just another tool to help you reach your weight loss goals.
**REMEMBER**
You set your own daily budget.
You choose you own exercise and intensity (no step limit, no exercises you cannot or should not do, 20 mins of gardening counts as much as a 10mile run, activity is activity, anything that gets you up and moving!).
Is not weight based (as weight fluctuates day by day).
Daily check in keeps you in touch with those doing similar. Longer term weight management is hard to do on your own.
It works on an honor system. Being honest with yourself and others is a key to making things work. Remember, this is a judgement free zone, everyone has good days and bad days, but the way to get to the finish line is by being honest and when we have a bad day, picking ourselves up and carrying on the next day!
Consistency and new habits have been shown the only long term successful way to change weight. We all want the progress made here to last a lifetime.
Your posts should look like this:
Daily Post (Sunday)
Track: Yes/no
Calories: Yes/no (were you under)
Exercise: Yes/no (what type and how long)
Goals or Day: (Tell us a brief description about your how your day went or goals for the day)
Please post your weight on your scheduled weigh in day, as if you miss weigh-ins, you may be eliminated from the challenge and we don't want to see that happen!!
Your weekly weigh in posts should look like this:
Username:
Week: February Week 1
PW =(previous weight)
CW=(current weight)
Just type PW & CW if you'd like (or if it's easier, you could keep a note on your PC desktop to make it easier to copy and paste from week to week.)
Please setup your posts in that format as it really makes it much easier to track.
Welcome to September! Let's make it a great month!!
