12 Week Challenge - 9/23 to 12/16

So first win of the week! Went to book club to discuss "Educated". (Highly recommend) Book is so hard I really wanted a large pour of wine but alas, did not. Stuck with my La Croix. Yay! Logged my light dinner and hit my daily food goal. Off to the gym today. Hope everyone has a great day!

I know this is late, but I'm in too! This is already similar to what I'm doing, but I've hit a little bit of a plateau and need to ramp up my workouts.

Congrats on your commitment to healthy living! I've been jogging on and off for about 20 years now and I have found no better starter plan/resource for running than coolrunning.com. There are no shortage of apps available to track your run plans as well. That said, I am not a huge fan of apps in general and am much more comfortable with websites and PDF schedules than fancy apps integrated into a smartphone.

As far as your healthy eating tips, do it and log it. Everyone seems to know what healthy eating is, as in is 'a' better than 'b', but many people do not innately know caloric content of foods. There are quite a lot of foods that were shocking to me what a portion looks like. Logging helps with getting a grasp on your body's fuel needs and cleans up your intake. Even if you don't total up your days, logging individual items is key.

I know for me, when I am logging, it is much easier for me to pass up spontaneous office cake "because its so-and-so's birthday" if I know future-me may be looking back on a log and wondering what my plan's sticking points are.

As for low-carb/low-fat/6-meals/intermittent fasting debate, a lot of it is noise. It comes down to calories.
You WILL have a preferred method (what works best for your body) if you try all of them for yourself and you will only know what works and what does not if you have data for your efforts.

TLDR: welcome to the challenge; log everything - everyday

Hi, Hope it is not too late to join. This challenge is perfect timing as my goal is to be at my ultimate goal weight by year’s end. Today is my 1,100 day of logging into MFP. I follow the keto way of eating with a limit of 20 total carbs per day. Sugar and sweets are my issue, so I have learned to make my own treats with sugar alternatives. My plan for the challenge is to follow strict, clean keto with no cheats. The challenges are Halloween, grandkids birthdays, my mom’s birthday, my birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I have been active for the last 6 months and plan to continue to take line dance and Zumba classes 3 - 4 days a week and weight train 3 times a week using the Fitbod app.

I am retired so following a healthy lifestyle is much easier with the time available to cook and workout.

I hope it's not too late to join! I've been trying to lose weight but I kept losing control and ate a lot of late-night snacks due to stress. I would like to join a community to keep myself accountable. I don't really mind my weight (it's in a healthy range) but I would like to look fitter. I really hope I succeed this time!
