Lose 20lbs by Feb 1st Accountability Buddies

I am definitely in!
SW: 280
CW: 236
I got down to 205 last year and gained back some. My final goal weight is 150. I need to make sure I not only stay on the right track, but I don't gain again!

... it's just some cheap NY strips from costco. I rub them in salt then cook at 700 degrees on cherry wood until seared and rare. The key is hot enough that is Sears while staying rare, and fresh ground pepper right as it goes on:






The white circles are WHISPS ... a one-ingredient food with 10g fat, 13g protein and 1g carbs per ounce. That is only half an ounce shown as they are desiccated and crispy!

But tonite I am having an omega bomb with homemade crab cakes, a traditional sardine, and green beans... and a very fancy french mutard:

I'm loving all the motivation and new people joining! Mentally and emotionally I've been a mess this week. My diet hasn't been pristine but I've been tracking and staying within my limits.. eating back some of my exercise calories but not all. Small victories. And the scale is heading in the right direction!

It's progress not perfection right??? ; )

I would live to join
Need motivation!!

Hello! I’m in!
I’m 10stone 9 and would like to be under ten! I never seem to lose anymore, was 12.6 two years ago so all very slow!
Good luck all!
Do we have a weigh day? X

I’m weighing every Monday, I don’t know about everyone else. Hopefully it’s not too scattered.

Hi everyone, I'd love to join the challenge. I turn 21 in March '19 so I want my confidence and active healthy lifestyle back by my bday!! I've been in hospital I'll for ages and for last three months have been on meds and not allowed to go to gym which has caused my weight to go up loads 😖😞 but now the doctor said I can start back walking and I want to lose this weight desperately as I hate myself and my body right now.

CW 170lbs ish/76kg ish
GW 130lbs/60kg for Febuary 31st 2019
(Ideally reduced body fat% and more toned too as this concerns me more/just as much as weight)
So 3kg ish a month!! I hope 😓

UGW 55-58kg (by May 2019)

Goal for exercise = daily 10000+ steps minimum 6days a week. Once under 65kg then adding gym if healthy and doing well.
Weigh in at least once a fortnight


Good luck to everyone, we all need to stick in this together and help one another! xx thanks for such a good post 😊

@flutterby_quartz ...it depends on your personality I think. If you see the scale go up and get discouraged; dont weigh in as often. If you see it bouncing around and get anxiety, dont weigh in as often.

I'm am engineer, so I actually weigh every morning...but I know any ONE weigh in is meaningless... I do statistical analysis to determine trends and derivative analysis to predict plateaus and project actually weight loss.

Say your goal is lose 20 lbs... a lot of people say "lost ten, halfway there". ...but that's not even close to right... lost ten is like 25% of the way there because the final pounds are more and more difficult to lose.

Happy Thursday everyone! Anyone else on the east coast getting all this rain? At least I'm up north so not getting the winds as well. Can't promise I won't complain about the snow soon though- its already forecast for the mountains here this weekend. Which is hilarious because it was 82 yesterday. I'd really hoped to get a long walk in yesterday in the nice weather but work kept me past dark. Did anyone get out and exercise yesterday?

53 and rain here (midwest) ... sick baby .. 2.5 hours sleep... craving junk food HARD.
