TEAM: The Slimsons (March)

Hello, my name is Gena @genajonas and I am new to Team Slimson.
I have used MFP off and on for the past few years. I am 55 years old and have had a weight issue since 1999 when I had my daughter ( youngest of 3). I never had a weight issue before that, in fact, I had to eat constantly just to maintain my weight. I have been or should I say was always on the slim side so now that I need to limit what and how often I eat it is hard for me. My goal is to be able to compete in women's bodybuilding in the next two years so I need to lose fat and gain muscle. My current weight is 216.2 lbs as of this Wednesday. I need to drop 66 lbs of fat and gain 30 lbs of muscle. I workout with a personal trainer 5 days a week (looking to up it to at least 6 days or start doubles), my step goal is 20,000 steps a day looking to push it to 35,000. I am not new to this, life got in the way on my first two attempts but that is ok as it resulted in adding two beautiful children to my family so it was well worth it. Now it is mommy time!!!! Never to late to look sexy so I am going for the gold!!!!

Current weight: 216.2

Remaining weight to lose: 66lbs of fat

Hi, I'm Brittany and this is my 6th month doing BLC (half a year, whoot whoot!). I'm a 5 ft even, 31 yo wife, mom of two young boys, and weight training is my exercise of choice with a recent love for sprinting (a quick and great fat burning exercise). My goals are:
-Workout at least 3 times per week
-Track all food daily
-Drink at least 60 oz of water
- Write down a positive thought or encouraging quote every morning to start the day off on a good note.
Lent starts Wednesday, so I am really recentering and focusing on what I want to accomplish spiritually, physically and mentally.
Happy March team!☘️

Hi everyone! Christi @cdc318 here. This is my first challenge and so excited to get started. I’ve been type 2 diabetic for a while and decided I’m tired of taking medication to control what my out of control eating was doing to my body. I’ve always been over weight but decided it’s way beyond time for a real change.
I want to
- log my food daily
- Stay under my calories
- Exercise daily
CW: 260 lbs.
GW for March: 250 lbs.
Challenge goal of pound loss: 10lbs.
Overall GW: 175 lbs.

Hi everyone. Welcome to all the new and returning members. My name is Vicky. I’m 44, married with 2 teenage boys. I work PT helping my husband with his business. This will be my third months with this group. My preferred choice for exercise is jogging/running. I’ve been borderline high cholesterol for about 8 years now. Just recently I really started watching my carb intake and try to stay under 100 gms for the day. With this boderline high cholesterol I’ve been struggling to figure out what’s best for me diet wise. But I’m going to a nutritionist this week to get advice on what’s better for me.
Goals for this month:
Lose 6 pounds
Continue exercising 5-7 x week.
Track every day
Add more water.1 -

Hi all! 👋😊 My name is Nancy... I'm so happy to be rejoining the SLIMSONS again this month!💪🏻😅💦 (been here since August). I lost over 26lbs. since then with this awesome, motivational team!
A little about me...
Started my journey in January 2015 at 240lbs.(I'm 5' 8"). I lost 80 lbs. in 8 months and then reached my goal weight by June of 2016, a total of 90 lbs. after joining the gym and starting group x/spinning classes.
I had regained a bit in 2017-2018 after being sidelined by injury (my back September 2017 and leg in February of 2018). Finally able to get back to the gym after 10 months of recovery last August.
I'm just arriving back from vacation and my weight is most certainly up a lot after a week of eating and drinking (all-inclusive) island foods (and rum 🥥🥃🍹🍸🍷🥂🍾drinks 🤪😜😋)--
- I'll be posting my starting weight in the morning and weighing in on Fridays from then on.
Goals for March:
🔹 Get back on track with IF this month, IF 4/3 (Sun/Tues/Thurs.) to detox this week
🔹 Drink at least 100 oz. water each day
🔹 Resume my workout schedule
🔹 Lower carbs to 50g or less on cardio days and 100g or less on weight training days
I won't allow the number on the scale to upset me tomorrow morning--- it's part of the journey and it'll be my challenge to get back down to the weight I was pre-vacation.
WE GOT THIS MY FRIENDS!🤘🏻😉💫 GOoooooO SLIMSONS!💪🏻😅💦

Ok so I just had to share my NSV this morning. I am wearing pants that were definitely getting to small on me and I have room in them! Lol. Feels good to be able to wear something I haven’t put on in a long time because the pants were just getting too tight. Have a great day all.7

Hi folks!
This is my second month on Team Slimsons. My name is Dave, and I’m a 49 year old guy. I’m feeling like I’m in the best shape of my adult life so far. I’ve always been well above 300 pounds, hitting a little over 400 at one point many years ago. Two years ago, I really buckled down, after a scary threat from my doctor, and got to 230 in a year. Then it got tough again. I’ve been stuck between 250-270 since. I’m 6’ 4”, so I’m targeting 210. I really felt inspired last month, despite some ups and downs, so I’m excited to get into March. Currently 251.8.
Let’s go team!!

No loss this week, but I’m not surprised. I felt dehydrated last week and I didn’t watch as closely as I was what I was eating. Went on a 3 mile jog yesterday morning and that helped me get my mindset positive again.
My goal for this week is to do daily posts everyday, to run 3x, and to eat 3 servings of veggies a day.1 -
