I'd love to join this group. Is it too late? If not, what do I need to do?

I'm in. Current weight 256.6 lbs. Highest ever was 270. Joined ww and lost 27 lbs then life happened with stress at home followed by a family bereavement so since then have put on 13 lbs. Don't want to ever go back to what I was originally as I was always put of breath and couldn't walk far. I have been doing ww online but seem to be on a cycle of loss gain sts. So I have decided to go back to basics and monitor every calorie that enters my mouth. I don't have a goal in mind by New Year as when I do that I set myself up to fail so any loss would be a bonus. My aims for the challenge are to log all my food and get back to my exercise classes as that has slipped recently

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-

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 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!

I would love to join! I hope that’s okay being one day late. The OP goals are identical to my own! I really need some accountability and a challenge!

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)
