Week 1
Monday
PW: 210.1lbs
CW 210.8 lbs
A gain
Got a bit complacent last week, not enough exercise, eating too late in the evening, and we ate out one night which no doubt put me over a bit. A sign to pull my socks up! 3 -
Hi, I changed my start date to Monday (tomorrow), and emailed the person who handles that. In the meantime, is this where I add my start date? Is there a page that fully explains what we do, how we do it and when? This board is very confusing, and it takes ten minutes just to find this group. Thanks!:

Hi,
I am new to the group. I am a 47 yr old male. I have been overweight almost as long as I can remember. While I’ve typically never been more than 30-40 lbs overweight, that technically has had me in the obese category on and off for many years. Over the years I have been great for periods of time and have even completed 2 Olympic triathlons and 2 half marathons all in respectable times. However, I never keep it up.
I have always enjoyed social drinking and have often been a heavy weekend drinker, but very rarely did I drink during the week. I recently was diagnosed with fatty liver and it has given me motivation I’ve never had before. I have an 8 yr old son that is my life and I want to be around to be his father as long as possible.
My dr tells me it is reversable with lifestyle change, primarily weight loss through a healthy diet and exercise. I have been back on MFP for 14 days so far and it’s going great. I am down 4 lbs so far. I have been working out both cardio and weights 5-6 days a week. I am aiming to get from 202lbs to 185, then ultimately 165 (I am 5’8.5”). I am targeting 1500 calories a day to lose 2 lbs a week. I am eating low carbs (only whole grains) lean protein and lots of vegetables. I have stopped drinking alcohol as well.
I am looking forward to being a part of the group and hopefully inspiring some of you on your journeys.4 -

I lead a crazy busy life and never made myself a priority, I can be organised with meal planning but emotional (including boredom) eating is a big problem for me.
One of my goals this month is to be more involved in the group, I am very reserved and struggle to share information about myself, I guess I think it’s not important or people won’t want to know about my life
Morning,
I feel the same way....I struggle to share and I think it's not important and no one really cares......

Looks like we’ve taken the first step together Laurie, I hope to hear more from you1 -
Happy Monday morning team!!! I was looking back through the threads and if I read it correctly? It looks I’ve had the pleasure of being assigned to the May winning team? Let’s kick some *kitten* this week and month and get off to a great start. I would love to help us win again. Let’s all be focused and do this for ourselves and for the team!4

At the top of this page, there is a star on the right.
That will allow you to favorite this page and to be able to easily find it under groups
If today is your start date, I would need your weight.1 -

Well, where do I begin?
This is my second month here and I figure it's a good time to start becoming a little more active within the community. I wasn't too active prior, and only using it as more of a weigh-in group and it would be nice to get more than that. That's what it is here for, after all. Where I'm at, at the moment it's been quite the struggle since I'm the only one here currently on a strict diet and everyone else eats far more unhealthy than I do so it's nice to have others to fall back on.
I'm 32 and from the US (TN.) I'm 5'11" or so and I started MFP in April of this year at a total of over 400 lbs. Since then I have lost 42 lbs doing a mix of just being a little more active and the bulk of it has been fairly strict dieting.
Anyway - my weigh in days are on Mondays.
June starting weight: 360 lbs
June 03: 358 lbs5 -

Hi everyone. I just joined the team on Saturday. My name is Pam. I look forward to interacting with my team mates with positive support. I have been sort of dieting since February, but recently starting seeing my dietitian again and started my 1,500 calorie, low sodium diet last Monday. I rode my exercise bike 6 days last week. It was a tough week, as I have never done 1,500 calories before, my previous attempts were 1,800 calories. But with the high diabetes numbers in April, my dietitian wants me to get a jump start on my weight loss. So I am giving it all I got, which is all I can ask for. I had great weight loss this week, but expect it is mostly water weight due to just starting the diet, and greatly decreasing my sodium. But I'll take it!!
Starting weight (May 27th): 254
Todays weight (June 3rd): 250.56 -
First, let me just say – CONGRATS GROUP!! We blasted the competition last month! WOO! Let’s keep that momentum moving forward into this month.
Second, welcome aboard to everyone new this month! I’m really excited to get to know you all.
Lastly, I am going to try posting some weekly goals here to help me stay on track! This week’s goals:
• Record all calories every day this week
• Run 1.25 miles
• Ride Phoenix (my horse) 2x
• Be in bed, phone off by 11:00 on weeknights
• Marie Kondo style organize and clean out my T-shirt/pants drawers – I know this is not weight loss related, but the situation has gotten out of hand lol. Putting it on this list will hopefully keep me accountable.
