      I will join you in the challenge, will you be doing it here or will you go and start the challenge somewhere else? Not sure what it is called, but when I did this before there was a page for the challenge and people could message back and forth. In other words only the people in the challenge could see what was going on with the challenge.
      My goal is ~ 21
      SW: 241
      CW: 241
      GW for March 19: 220 lbs.

      Tried to join the group after seeing this forum post and it wouldn't let me - probably something I'm doing wrong. I need some accountability.

      Welp, I did the join process again - seems to have worked. I'm guessing approval is required.

      But I will post all updates here as well!

      Here we go! My plan is to lose 15 or so getting me to around 185. My current weight is an even 200. I lost 50+ a couple of years ago and maintained until recently gaining back about 10 pounds. Got sidelined with shoulder surgery 3 weeks ago and am looking at knee replacement surgery mid-December. I have my work cut out for me for sure. Primary exercise will be biking (Peloton) and elliptical. Calorie counting will be primary also as this works well for me. Roughly 1500 cals a day is my goal.

      I track all food daily & weigh all of it. (These are now a Habits)

      I exercise at least 10K steps AND at least 60 to 80 mins a day. Often hills now. Apple Watch) (These are now a habit)

      Just added HIIT Ex Bike 20 min ride 3X a week. (Not a habit yet but working on it)

      I keep the Calories In < Calories Out daily. (Habit)

      No cheat meals. (I don’t want to reactivate my former ways of eating) (Habit)

      Others: drink water, weigh daily, eat mindfully/slowly, (all habits)

      pre-log my final meal of day so I don’t accidentally go over...(not a habit yet but almost)

      Track Protein, Sodium, Carbs, Sat Fat. (Habit) I use the values to figure out my dinner foods & quantities

      I eat same, large breakfast each day. (This is a habit now)
      Often eat the same second meal.

      Eat almost exclusively at home.

      Down almost 73 lbs since Jan 1 2016
      My focus is Creation of Workable Habits as I never want to gain the weight back again.
