Mini Challenge: 10lbs down by Valentines Day? <3

Inspired by @HaleCry and her lovely 10lb-by-New-Year thread, here's a new challenge: Lose 10lbs by 14th February.

Who want's in? Check in with your progress whenever you like. :)

I'll start: I'm 170.5 today. So aiming for 160.5 in roughly 8 weeks. That seems doable for me given I still have 43lbs to lose!

    Love the sensible people on this post. <3

    So here's a disclaimer: If 10lbs in 8.5 weeks (c.1.2lbs a week) seems unrealistic for you based on your current weight (i.e. you don't have much to lose) or your preferred rate of loss, then don't feel you can't join in. Just pick a target that makes sense for your situation! :smile:

    I want to be fine-tuning a maintenance zone by Valentines Day. For me, that would a 4 lb range with a maximum top edge of 139. Once I am there, I may decide to make 135 the MIDDLE instead of the bottom .... or even the top edge. At 60 yrs old, shooting for the dead-centre (despite an average bone frame - neither robust nor fine-boned) of the BMI range for my height - 124.4 - is just not realistic any more.

    As of today - 144.6

    If anyone would like to also check in more frequently on a complimentary "Just Keep Moving" Exercise short-term challenge thread between now and New Years Eve, come on over and see me at https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10707982/holiday-motivation-pump-it-up#latest

    Any suggestions on how to title a complimentary mini-challenge that would run parallel to yours all the way through Valentines Day?

    Ok. I’m in. Highest weight was 155 when I restarted this app this year. I’m down 3.5 with some overhaul of my activity and some changes in my diet including daily logs where I try to be super honest because I learn where my issues lie (beer, snacks, and coffee treats.). I’ll weigh in tomorrow, guessing I’m still in the lower 150’s so I’d be thrilled with 140 but I’ll be specific to 10 lbs when I weigh in. Thanks for being “in the same boat” because this struggle is real!!!

    I’m in, but will have to update my stats in the morning. It’s been a while since I’ve weighed myself (and tried to lose weight), so this will be a good re-start for me.
