My name is Dom, I go by Dommylifts on MFP. I am a women who enjoys weight lifting and most things fitness although you likely won’t catch me running.
I joined this group for the November challenge and I loved it! Excited to roll over into December. I found it incredibly helpful with accountability and knowing I was working hard not just for myself but for my team☺️8 -
My name is Ryan and I am rejoining this team after taking a break in June. I am starting my "New Year's" weight loss early this year and MFP has worked for me in the past. This group challenge is also great as it keeps me motivated on working towards my weight loss goal.6

Hi! This is my first challenge and I’m pretty excited!!! Any pointers?
Yes. The only pointer you need is to be consistent. It's not about what you weigh every day. Just every week . If your consistent in eating right you will lose weight. First day always sucks. The second day kind of sucks but you feel better because you already have a day under your belt. Third day you are pretty happy because you just kicked butt for 2 days in a row. See where I'm going with it6 -
Hi! I’m Amy from Minneapolis and am happy to include this challenge as part of my lifestyle change. I’ve been working on nutrition and food choices for 6 weeks and am ready to add in cardio and strength training.5

Hi! This is my first challenge and I’m pretty excited!!! Any pointers?
My pointer is to participate in the forums. Everyday I try and post something whether a question, a photo from my day, something about my day or a response to something someone else posted. I also enjoy going through and giving people a “like”. It keeps me interacting with my team and wanting to participate more and work on my own goals. The more you participate the more you get out of it and feel involved and part of the team!

Hi everyone! I'm Les (and working on getting lesser! bad joke, I know -- I need more sleep).
I'm 39 for a short while longer (sniff), a mom to two little dudes and wife to one big dude. I've been with Gutbusters since May, when I started at 212.2. Today I was 166-ish, where I've been stable for a couple months. I know the problem -- it's mindset, because I'm so near my ultimate goal -- and it's my goal for the month to focus on getting over this mental hump that has me stalled.
I'm the nominal captain in these here parts, but we've got lots of returning Gutbusters with great success and great insights to share. @Dommylifts and @Grebber1 have already posted some great advice here, and our coach, @craigo3154 has lots of research-based insights to share, and a long-term maintenance success story. And if/when the rest of our November crew moves over, you're going to see how much progress people have made working toward their goals together here on MFP.
You're in a great group, folks! Here's to a successful December!8 -
Me again, same weight as when I started, same emotional baggage that keeps getting in my way. 65th birthday just a couple days away. Even though I'm not seeing results on the scale you all are keeping me focused just watching your successes. With December looming and my husband's surgery in Utah sometime during that month I don't expect to see any major changes and that's OK. If I can maintain through that and the holidays I'll be happy. Thanks to @LeslckaBod and @craigo3154 for all the encouragement. You two are inspiring.8

Sounds like you have a solid plan and that’s the first step to success!1

Happy Friday, December Gutbusters! We'll begin posting December weigh-ins starting on Sunday. For those of you who are new to the group, here are some weigh-in FAQs:
- When do I post my weigh-in?
Post on your "scheduled weigh-in day". So, if you posted a weight in the New Member Registration thread on a Tuesday, then your scheduled weigh-in day will be each Tuesday of the month. You can also check the December spreadsheet to see what your scheduled weigh-in day is. - Why is Week 1 beginning on Sunday? Haven't we been already posted our starting weights?
Think of it like a first birthday. You're born, then you have to live a whole year before you can celebrate being 1. In this challenge, you post a starting weight, then you have a whole week to work on weight loss before you post your Week 1 weigh-in. - How do I post my weigh-in?
Your posts should look like this:
Username:
Week: November Week 1
PW: Previous Weight in lbs
CW: Current Weight in lbs - What's my previous weight?
If you're new, your Week 1 previous weight is whatever weight you posted in the New Member Registration thread, or check out the current spreadsheet to see what your posted info says. If you're returning, your Week 1 previous weight is whatever your weight was in the last week of the previous month. - I'm still confused. Who can help me?
Just ask a question here and tag me, or PM me and I'll do my best to get back as soon as possible.

I used to go a lot years ago but I'd go through periods of where I'd go nonstop for months then quit going. I miss going to Zumba class at the gym. So, when I have the extra $, thinking some dvds may fill my void. I've been at a high weight ever since I was a kid. I'm excited to give this an early start & keep it going into the new year. I don't have much social support at home, which is why I'm here.
I'm doing aerobics of YouTube this month. Maybe we can swap favourites?0 -

Hey. I’m sabrina, 42 and live in Maryland. Rejoined MyFitnessPal after a few years away but I’m ready to get back to it. I want to be healthier. My first grandchild is arriving this summer and I want to be healthy for them too.1

I am very excited for December’s challenge! My goal is to reach 143 by December 31st. I am currently 148. My November history shows I can lose 2-3 pounds a week as I went from 158-159 to 148 over the course of November’s challenge. I’m hoping to slow it down a bit but still maintain my new habit of weighing and tracking all of my food. It’s made a huge difference in my success.3

I am also wondering this as my weigh in days are Sunday. I believe I am weighing in tomorrow.
