    Count me in!

    Start Weight: 198.6 lbs (90.3kg)
    Goal Weight= 160lbs (72.7kg) ... maybe lower when I get there but this feels right for now
    Goal Date= July 2019

    I am glad that I found this post because this will give me the accountability that I need. I am not sure if my goal is realistic or not but it sounds good. I am shooting for 1.5 lbs per week. My weigh in day will be on Fridays. I am 48 and have 2 kids (boy-11, girl-9). I work full-time and chauffeur the kids to appointments and after-school activities 6 days/ week. My goal this month is to make time for myself and get in some exercise which I have been seriously lacking. My plan is to go to the gym while my daughter is in dance class and to walk during my lunch break. I need to get back into the habit of logging every meal and snack. For the first week, that will be my number one goal.

    Official weigh-in today and I was 196.3 which is down 2.3 since 1/1. I know it’s just water weight and will slow down but I’ll take it!

    I got an Apple Watch for Christmas and it’s really keeping me motivated. I even set up a challenge with my sister in California for a little extra motivation

    Hi all!

    My current weight is 210. My goal weight is 150. I am 5’6”. That is my goal for the entire 2019. I would like to be happy with my body by this time next year. I have gained 50 pounds over 4 years. This kind of slow gain has made it easy for me to right it off and ignore it. I’m done ignoring it. I want to be happy with my body again. Unfortunately I have a very busy but sedentary job. Finding time to work out will be hard. And I’m honestly not sure where to start. I also need to change my eating habits. Any ideas of what to do at the gym for the most affective workouts? Any simple meal ideas?

    I'm in. I want 2019 to be the year I reach my goal weight. I came within 7 lbs a couple of years ago, but then started gaining. I'm now about 45 lbs away from my goal weight.

    Starting Weight - 188.8 lbs
    Goal Weight - 145 lbs

    I weight in on Wednesdays, so I'll update then.

    I've committed to a 6-week Cross Train to 5k program that works out 4-5 times a week. I've completed 3 of the workouts so far this week :smile:

    I used to run quite consistently and averaged about 33 minutes for a 5k. I'd like to start running regularly again and eventually work up to a 10k, so that's my fitness goal for this year.

    I too have a sedentary job. If not in meetings, I walk at lunch and taking a quick 5 min walk in the morning and afternoon. Also, my watch reminds me to stand every hour. When I get the remind I will do a minute of exercise like squats, arm circles, high knees , etc.

    Hi, everyone! I'm turning 40 in March. I'm engaged to be married, though we haven't chosen our wedding date as of yet. I've got an 8 year old daughter who keeps me pretty busy, but I'm lucky to get to be a stay at home mom. I got an Apple Watch a little less than a year ago and was SUPER excited to use it for the first several months and then kind of forgot about all the awesome things it tracks... In the last two years I have gained around 50 pounds and slowed WAY down on going to my beloved Jazzercise classes (I used to go to 5+ classes a week, and yesterday was the 1st class I've been to since September). I also developed a strong addiction to sugar and late night snacking/all day grazing. Needless to say, I'm working hard to break a lot of bad habits!

    SW: 221.5 (Wednesday, January 2, 2019)
    CW: 220.0 (Today, for tracking purposes, though I'll keep Wednesday as my weigh in date)
    GW: 150

    Planned intake of 1350 calories per day.
    Planned on purpose exercise: 1 hour Jazzercise class 3x a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday)
    Daily step goal: 15,000
    I'm going to try a Keto meal plan to see what I think of that for the next month...

    I let myself slip after that 0.5 lb gain last week. I am back now and re-committed.

    This week I will:
    Apple Watch: close my activity ring and stand ring every day. Close my exercise ring at least 3 days.
    Log: log all meals into MFP and all water on my watch app. Daily weight. Blood pressure at least once/day.
    Calories: stay within budget
    Water: 70oz/ day

    I would like this year to be the year I get down to a comfortable weight. Currently I weigh 158lbs. I want to reach my goal weight of 140lbs by July 2019! I feel optimistic that I can do it if I can just stay under my calorie goals and stick to it. It will require dedication and persistence. Here’s to losing the weight this year!! We can do it!

    Hi. Hopefully this challenge can help motivate me to get to my goal weight. I'm looking to hit my goal weight by April or May of this year. I'm currently on a calorie deficit. I try to take in 1200 calories a day. I also IF every now and then and I'm trying to workout more often.
    SW (1/5/19) - 185 (I'm 5'9)
    CW - 179
    GW - 155
