    Hi! This is my second challenge I'm joining. Last year I did a 2018 weight loss challenge and lost around 80-85 lbs (and kept it off, give or take 5 lbs!) I did that largely by eating a Ketogenic diet and zero exercise. I never made it to my goal weight, still about 30lbs to go but I would love to carve 20 out of that figure. :smile:

    Some personal stats:
    29F
    6ft
    Texan
    Mother to 4 yr old boy

    HW: 293

    UGW: 175

    CGW1: 201
    CGW2: 196
    CGW3: 191
    CGW4: 186

    I'll weigh in on Sundays, likely. Excited to be here! I accept all friend requests so feel free to add me. We can do it, y'all!

    Hi I'm a little late to this party. But I wanna join! I have a hard time keeping myself motivated, so hoping being accountable will help me with that.

    Welcome all the newest accountability buddies! Never too late to join.... Well maybe Dec. 2nd. is too late lol.
    I need advice:
    I try to eat 25% carbs, 35% fat, 40% protein. But I'm having difficulties getting all that protein. I drink premier protein shakes, eat zone bars, chicken (so much chicken), fish, pork tenderloin, eggs, cottage cheese. What else can I eat? Jerky is a bit pricy but I'll eat it if it's in sale. TIA

    Almonds are a great source with 21.1g protein content per 100g.

    Meat is always the best for protein! Tuna packets, egg whites, bone broth, collagen. Perhaps you could make some keto fat bombs and add protein powder or collagen.

    I'm in. These challenges were a huge part of my success a few years ago. I just slowly allowed myself to get off track for the past 2 years. Currently trying to lose the weight I regained during those 2 years.

    Good luck to everyone.

    I am new to joining a group challenge. I gained 10lbs in a year, from annual physical to annual physical with my doctor. I’ve been on a staedy increase for the past several years....I’m in need of accountability buddies! Like others, my exercise has been fairly consistent but my food intake is where I fail. I turn 50 next year and I want to be at my goal weight.

    I’ve lost 10 lbs over the past 2 months and am worried about keeping going when school,starts back up in August. This sounds like a perfect challenge for me!

    CW 261.9
    GW 240 (or less!)

    W1 8/4: 256.4. Depression has been hitting hard the past few days, making it very difficult to stay active. Still, down 5.5 lbs in 9 days is an amazing start.

    W2 8/11: 252.4 All summer I’ve been “officially” weighing myself after I workout as the number was 2-3 lbs lihter than right when I woke up and made me feel better. I realized this past week that he difference was just water, and that with school starting back up I will be swtiching from morning to afternoon workouts, so that model just wouldn’t work anymore anyway. Today was the first day I “offcially” weighed before working out. I expected a number in the 255s, as that was my preworkout weight all week, so the 252 was a pleasant surprise. Down 4lbs since last checkin, 9.5 since starting weight for this challenge, 19.5 total (since may 23).
