    Can I still join? I did weigh myself yesterday morning!

    Here is my lifestyle that I will be following:

    I have almost eliminated white sugar from my diet, and I want to completely erase it.
    6-7 fruits & veggies daily (I am currently at 5 & struggling to add more)
    1 gallon of water daily
    Workout 6-7 days per week
    1-2 cheat MEALS a week, NOT A CHEAT DAY (I like this; I think I'll try it.)

    Highest Weight: 190lbs
    Current Weight: 162lbs
    12 Week Goal Weight: 138lbs (2 lbs a week)
    Final Goal Weight: 130

    My plan:
    ~Get back into ketosis. I got kicked out during a period of high stress and adrenal fatigue. Still recovering.
    ~Maintain 18 to 20 hour IF schedule with occasional 24hr fasts.
    ~Drink no less than 96 ozs of water daily.
    ~Daily walks and strength training. Currently, as adrenal fatigue permits.
    ~Try to have as many days meeting my calorie limit, which is 1300, as I can get. Under calories seems great, but it doesn't work for me. Occasionally, I have to eat at maintenance to force a drop in my weight.

    yesterday's workout (readings from Polar M400):

    cycling - duration 01:23:45, 14.83 mi, 1093 kcal
    strength training: duration 27:59, 435 kcal

    strength training is in the form of sledge hammer swings on a truck tire and dumbbell press (more like strength/endurance)
    each round starts with dumbbell press x5 @12kb
    5 rounds of 60 swings (leftside x20 rightside x20 overhead x20) 6# head-
    90 sec rest in between rounds -

    6 pounds didn't look like a lot to me at the beginning, but by round 5 my forearms were crying-

    Planning to stick to this workout over the 12 weeks and see what kind of progress I can make.
    I've had trouble sticking to workout schedules in the past-

    Ooh...upping ante, now that's got me thinking.


    Well how 'bout it? Is your driver's license weight a safe goal for a 12 week plan?
    Are you willing to change your license if you fall short of your goal?

    You have an accountabilibuddy for your plan if you do. :)

    (actually, you have an accountabilibuddy even if the license weight is unfeasible)

    Still thinking. Drivers license where I am doesn't have my weight on it (Just as well! Only a not very good photo :D) Tell you what, I'll commit to a donation of 200 Euro to the homeless (I've a favourite local charity) if I don't make it.

    I'm in too! This is great, I'm in a couple other groups but there seem to be a lot more active people here. And 12 weeks will be perfect to get through the holidays. I love reading posts to hear what other people are working on...

    HW: 170s maybe 180-ish (10yrs or so ago, didn't have a scale)
    SW Starting MFP in May: 154.0
    Longer Term Weight Goals: 138 by Feb 2020 (top of my healthy BMI where I was back in 2016 when I met my boyfriend), and ultimately I'd like to try and get into the mid-range of healthy BMI for my height which is 127/129lbs by July 2020

    Currently I've pretty much succeeded in making these goals into habits but plan to continue:
    Goal #1: 8.5 Minute Core/Ab Routine Every Other Day for 1 week. Then up it to 10 minutes 2 days on 1 day off for 2 weeks (Ultimate Goal of Great Posture!), continue advancing
    Goal #2: 2-3 Exercise Classes per week, OR 2 long walks/biking/hiking outside while the weather is still nice in MN (or combo)
    Goal #3: Stay within daily calorie targets (I'm set to 1430 daily) - by pre-tracking my meals and snacks each day with some wiggle room and plans in place for night time snacking and special events. My concrete goal will be to track it ALL, even if I go overboard on a night binge or event food to build awareness in the process. It's OK to go over sometimes... not a failure just track it


    I weigh in daily as I find it helpful to go by the averages but I'll just post the averages weekly on the schedule. I am taking the weight goals super slow and steady as it is really working for me this time around (I've yo-yo'd back up & down a few times over the years), so about 0.50lb loss target per week, but if I don't get there... no big deal! I'm more focused on accomplishing the fitness and food tracking goals, using weight as a progress measurement.


    New Goals for 12 Week Challenge:
    Goal 1: Go out Dancing (I LOVE dancing and haven't been out in months!)
    Goal 2: Try some more advanced classes to up my exercise routine
    Goal 3: Sign up for winter weekly swimming classes with my local community ed
    Goal 4: I have a work conference coming up in Oct and I will be flying staying out of town for 5 nights - my goal is to have meals planned that don't require cooking and I can pick up at the grocery store while there (taking suggestions!!)

    I'm 36, 5'4"
    12 Week Challenge Average SW: 144.9
    12 Week Challenge Average GW: 139.0 - Hit the 130s!

    PS - I also need to adjust to my drivers license weight :wink: but I JUST renewed mine, don't even have it in hand yet. I submitted my weight as 140 partially as wishful thinking and partially as I'm confident I'll match it sooner than later. I should go for having to re-apply for mine in a year or so because the weight is too high! :smiley:

    How is it going? Everyone hanging in there? Share some fun workouts you may have done today!

    I went to PiYo class this morning for 45 minutes, then a 3+ hour (Probably 6.6 miles?) hike that was in an absolutely gorgeous river valley nature preserve. Enjoying the last warm days to the max before winter!

    Awesome - I'll commit to a donation of $200 if I don't make my goal, also. (and make my license honest, of course)

    Sorry I'm late to this but I'd like to join too if that's alright! I'll add my weight from 9/30 (still a bit nervous about getting on the scale after a couple of months away from it!) Really just want to get back to the weight I was when I started uni (6 years ago!) as it was the last time I was genuinely comfortable and confident in my body.

    Generally just going to be tracking my calories and trying to stick around 1200-1400 a day; will really need this accountability as party season creeps around.

    Highest Weight:84KG (185lbs)
    Current Weight: 80KG (176lbs) (in July, anyway)
    12 Week Goal Weight: 70KG (154lbs)
    Final Goal Weight: 60KG (132lbs)
