Well, it’s the full moon, an auspicious day to begin an intense push for some consistent fat loss over the most difficult holidays; Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and my birthday. Can you stick to your calories and macros while getting in your workouts and make this happen? I WANT TO CHEER YOU ON!

You've piqued my interest. I'm also March (but a little further in). What with the holidays and such, this would be good.

I can NOT wake up early to work out this week. I set my alarm, clothes are laid out and my brain screams no! And I go back to sleep.
Calories are in check (at least I think, I’m getting conflicting advice on how many I should eat a day)
Need motivation help!1 -

Thank you! I have lost quite a bit, but I had been down last year to 187. I gained so many pounds back, I think, because I stopped logging food, and gradually my old habits reasserted. My best realization from having lost 100 pounds, and gaining back so much of that loss, is that keeping my progress is going to require continuing (possibly life long) food logging.Current 82.4kg (was 88)

Woot motivation! Let’s keep each other positive and moving in the right direction, while forgiving our human tendency to make mistakes. Will we all attain the goals we’ve set ourselves for the next couple months? Maybe, maybe not. But with the help of some friends, we can make progress.SoManyCookies wrote: »A day late, but this could be the accountability group I've been searching for!

Be careful taking advice on calories; it’s much better to use a tool! There are many online tools to calculate safe calorie restriction for weight, sex, age, and activity level.
If you are aiming for morning workouts (me too, I feel your pain) and you’ve slept in instead, do your workout in the afternoon or when you have time later in the day, even if it’s just a five minute warmup and stretching. That will make you 1. wish you had done your full morning workout 2. start your new ‘I am active every day’ habitual mindset. It sounds too simple but that is how I got and maintained a six-morning-a-week workout schedule that became so automatic that willpower wasn’t even an issue anymore. I am using the same approach to get back to the gym after a two month hiatus. I can’t wait to have that easy, good habit again! And, I know you can do it, too!

Yes it will be good! My b-day is in Feb but I always like the first day in a month. And full moon days. Weird that way.

s'truth! When I'm not logging, I'm not losing or, at least, maintaining. I know not tracking is how I got to where I was and tracking is how I've gotten to where I am.
full moons are awesome! I love laying in bed and looking out the window at the moon-dappled yard.

My birthday in February as well. Looking forward to this challenge. Thanks for posting.1 -

Welcome all! Nice to meet you. Please friend me if I don’t send you a request.
To join, just post your stats (or not, your choice!) and show up. Wednesday weigh-ins (again, up to you if you want to give us numbers) and encouragement anytime.
Here’s a question - what will your reward be?
Even if I don’t hit my March 1 goal weight, I am going to reward myself for getting back to eating healthy and working out. I want a tattoo when I reach my ultimate goal weight, so I’m going to spend a day visiting some tattoo shops in my area and interviewing artists, and add $100 to my tattoo fund jar. I want some sick sleeves!
What are you going to reward yourself with?
