Yesterday was a ho-hum day, letting my sorrows get to me. Choosing to make today better.
*Have a good day everyone!
1 -
so I'm averaging 1200 calories / day eating healthy -- lots of veggies, very little junk, lots of water, usually taking in 60-70 g carbs, 80-90 g protein, 50-60 g fat. I'm 61, 5'4"..... hoping to lose 1 pound week. I'm not that active but am planning to add 30 minutes brisk walking most days. Am eating within a 9 hour window each day. Any thoughts? Key goal right now is planning and tracking food as a consistent daily habit. three days strong!1

Happy Day 1 Friends! Quote to start our challenge:
3 MONTHS FROM NOW, YOU WILL THANK YOURSELF!!
Today is all about change and improving ourselves. I have been sitting at this same weight for far too long and have just not been consistent at all. Since I started this challenge, I need to be a good role model and not screw up (hehe!!)
I also started a new book which I hope might help or give me some insight: "The Powder of Habit" by Charles Duhigg. I know a lot of my choices are from very poor habits. For instance at work when I'm bored or under stress I will run downstairs to our little shop and buy peanut m&m's to get through that "feeling" once or twice a week. How can that even help with stress or boredom or weight loss.
So ultimately my goal is to get back into a healthy BMI on December 31st. This means I need to get though Thanksgiving and Christmas without over doing it too. That means I need to plan for events and situations - how can I get through them and how can I change my reaction to things. Lots of mental work here hehehe
Anyhow....here we go!!! We can do this!!!

Wow, our group suddenly became busy over night! Awesome!!
Yesterday was very good for me - carbs were at net 34 grams. Today will be similar as long as I stay away from the peanut m&m's and I will!! I've up'd my protein a bit to help with hunger. Yesterday I also got in 12,000 steps and I'll try to repeat it again today!
Let's all have a great Tuesday!!!
nice!0 -
Good going!0

I'd say if it's working for you keep it up! Everyone will be different and our challenge is finding what works! Once your weight loss starts to slow, I would definitely increase your exercise. Great job Nancy!!!0 -

“The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.” – Oprah Winfrey
How's your attitude with the upcoming weekend? Are you feeling strong and on top of the world? I am formulating plans in my head on how to deal with hunger and boredom and what I shall eat. It always helps to have a plan!!
Yesterday was another great day with almost 15,000 steps! No loss on the scale yet, but hopefully something by Monday morning

BTW...no quotes over the weekend. My iPad and MFP don't like each other very much Luckily I can check in, but it crashes a lot. 1

Good morning everyone! Happy Friday! So far my week has been very good. Monday was my first day counting calories and I’ve been consistent the weekend is when all hell breaks loose but my mentality is changed and I’m prepared to make healthy choices!! Currently brewing my coffee and about to make my fitth appearance at the gym this week! Hope everyone is ending the week strong 💕💕5

This week has been good, I’ve tracked everything. Now comes the hard part, the weekend. I’ve lost every month this year, two of the months it was 1lb. I know if I did this 7 days a week instead 4 or 5 I would have better results. Thanks for the challenge i thinks it’s just the push I needed.4

Hi all,
New to the forum, and a few days late. Hope that is ok!
Sick of starting over.
October 12th weight: 156
Height: 5’6”
Goal Weight By December 31st: 138
Ultimate Goal Weight: 130
Starting tomorrow, I want to religiously track my foods, and find ways to deal with the cravings when they pop. I need to find another outlet for my stress eating.
I also want to workout 5 days
I will post again on Monday. Have a great weekend.2 -

This is similar to me! I have been working on and incorporating diversions for a long time. I find if I exercise most days even a fun walk--less apt to stress eat. You will find what works. 5 days sounds like a great goal.
Well my challenge is to sleep at this point and stop the caffeine at 2 pm like I used to. I need a quick protein powder that in not chocolate. Some work days are 12 hours and it is hard to eat on the job. Don't want the caffeine in chocolate later in the day. This lack of sleep is throwing off everything.0 -
Hey all. New to the forum as well. A few days late. Hope that’s ok.
Starting weight:200
Goal weight: 140 (long way to go)
Week goal: not sure. Maybe a poind a week
I have been back and forth with so many apps and diets but I think this one might stick with your help. Super excited to be here2 -
Happy Saturday!!! Well it’s the weekend and we need to stay diligent - make new habits for weekends and it can start today! Maybe even pre- track so you know where you stand? Yesterday was another low carb day (finally 5 in a row!!) and I will continue today and tomorrow!! What is your plans for the weekend to stay consistent?2

Good morning! Success: I'm down five pounds since starting this challenge last week. Very happy and relieved as I'd been climbing slowly but steadily for several months. Thank you to everyone for being in the challenge, I find your postings very helpful and encouraging. I'm new to MFP and am enjoying tracking my food and exercise, I hope this lasts I had a good brisk walk after dinner yesterday, first one in a looong time, and enjoyed how I felt during and after. I hope everyone has a great weekend. 1

I'm joining in here because I've hit a plateau. I've been tracking my meals on MFP for 140 days in a row. I'm much more conscious of what I can and cannot eat, and it's resulted in a loss of about a pound a week. I've relaxed a bit though, gotten comfortable, eaten a treat here and there, been lazy instead of going for a walk. So, I've been the same weight for 3 weeks. Tomorrow is my weigh in day and I don't want to see the same #. As soon as I post this I'm putting on my tennis shoes and walking. H: 5'5", W: 153, Age: 38, Goal: 145 before the year ends.1
