So happy with my progress so far just got to keep up the momentum and start adding in workouts!5 -
I’ve been out of town a good couple weeks, thus the break in the timeline of my weight (it only counts if it’s my scale!). I saw the weight ticking up several pounds while gone and worked hard to get it back down (how is it that it goes up so quickly and down so slowly?). I was able to select my food choices and did well there; I guess I simply had too much of it, even though I didn’t think so at the time. Looking back on it, I’m surprised that I didn’t think to bring my food scale. As well, I did not exercise even once while gone, which was planned, and yet, fully possible. I think my usual daily walk (fast, incline) does more for keeping my head in the game than in its help in burning calories. Although I’m bummed that the loss is not greater for three weeks, I am relieved that at least it went down a touch. I am only four pounds away from not being overweight. I’m thinking that I need to weigh all my food today.

I haven't been quite as disciplined this last week as the two previously (corn dogs for dinner), but I'm still on track for a steady loss. Only 8 pounds down, but I already feel the difference in my knees, which means I can walk more. That's a huge win!

Please add me! I need a challenge to get me through the first of next year.3

I'm assuming you meant that the start was October 1st. I'm in! I'm doing low carb, because I find that to be the easiest plan and I'm not missing anything like I thought I would (the pastas, potatoes, bread) Best wishes to all! I'm starting again at 172, and will be happy to shed 20# by Christmas. Then, as another goal, the final 10 before my Florida vacation at the end of February. Let's DO this!5

Female named Donna from the Midwest USA ….. 5’ 5” tall
Highest Weight Ever: 253 (2014/2015)
Original MFP starting Weight on this current journey: 235.0 (Jan 11, 2018)
Challenge Starting Weight: 174.0
Challenge Goal Weight: 154.5
Challenge Ending Weight: TBD
My Plan: To lose 1.5 pounds per week for 13 weeks (19.5 lbs total) and end at 154.5 on Christmas Eve Morn. Then I want to enjoy my Christmas Eve night with family, wake up on the 25th and listen for Santa’s sleigh bells. I will CAREFULLY enjoy myself between Christmas and New Years and reassess on January 1st and get busy with the final leg of my plan.
Final Goal: To weigh 145 by Valentine’s day.
DON’T FORGET TO SCHEDULE YOUR MAMMOGRAM!
Oct 01 - 174.0 And Away We Go! Good Luck Everyone. I don’t know what happened to the original person starting this challenge but I’m still in if you all are!
Oct 08 - 174.8
Oct 15 - 175.4 Oops I did it again.
Oct 22 - 177.8 Went to DBs to help him after surgery. Enjoyed big city with big food. Calories I controlled pretty well. Carbs got me badly. Next week I will attempt to post in the color red instead of the color green. I will be food prepping today!
Oct 29 - 177.0 I can’t believe I managed to pull off a small loss. I was up much higher this week after multiple traveling trips. I have gotten rid of the water retention I think, and now I can get down to the business of fat! My Mammogram and doctors appointments at the University Hospital turned out great. They did not detect any breast cancer so I am still in remission. I will see you all on November 5th!

Oct 1- 122.6
Oct 8- 121.8
Oct 15- 124.6
Oct 22 - 124.8
Oct 29 - 120.4 I am not under any delusions that I've actually lost 4 lbs in a week. The previous number was an early-morning weigh-in after an evening of, if not exactly gluttony, certainly eating with abandon. My weight tends to fluctuate a lot, (in fact I'm up a pound and a half today from Monday's weigh in), so I just keep reminding myself to look at the trend rather than individual days' numbers. That's why I like challenges like this, so it keeps me looking at longer-term results rather than being disappointed with day-to-day fluctuations.

My goal weight is 145lb. I'd like to be 230lb or less by Christmas but that might be a bit ambitious! I am eating 1600 calories a day. No exercise yet. I am 41 and female.9 -

19 Oct - 82kg 17.7% BF
26 Oct - 81.8kg 19% BF

My current calorie goal is 1810 calories and I'm training 4 resistance sessions, 3 cardio sessions and 3 karate sessions p/w.
I'm a 44yr old male 175mm tall.2 -
Count me in. We should have some sort of weight goal in mine, I would love to lose 10lbs, I think that’s reasonable. How do we get started and encourage each other. I’m hospitalized, at the moment, but will post my daily exercise when discharged. 😊👍1

Add me in! just recently started on my journey and is hard not having any support. so anyone feel free to add me in2
