Hello All!
My name is Ashley and I live in Indiana. I have participated in this group about a year ago
and am back. My goals are to stay within calorie counts on my fitness pal, reduce amount of alcohol consumed, and increase activity. I have a treadmill and enjoy kettleball work outs.
I'm excited to get this weight loss on the way.
Have a great week!
@aminor55 welcome Ashley! Welcome back to TBBT!

This is my first time to participate in this group and I am very excited about it. I definitely need to be accountable to others for my dieting to work. Please sign me up for the mini ultimate accountability challenge (first entry above).
To give you a little background, I am 54 and a mom of two. I have gained 30 pounds over the years and my goal is to lose these extra pounds. I would really like to lose some weight by February when I see my doctor again. He's given me until then to reduce my cholesterol through an improved diet; otherwise, I go on medication. I'm fairly active, though I'd like to add strength training (barre) twice a week. Overeating is my main problem.
Best of luck to everyone!
@richmondwriter welcome to TBBT! I hope this group helps you to reach your February goals! 2 -

Hey girly, thanks for adding me to the challenges. Can you make my step goal 9000 daily please. Im unable to edit it.
@eyezbydiana no problem! We do a weekly goal, so I will do 63,000 (9,000 a day) for your weekly step goal! 1 -
Hi I’m Gina, I’m back for my second month!! I am going to work on my water intake this month, I noticed the days I drink more water I consume less calories!
@cmhubbard92 do I need to sign up for the water & steps challenge or does it automatically roll over?
@gboles79 it automatically got copied over! I copy the spreadsheet each week, but will remove inactive participants after a few weeks of no activity in the challenge. You're good to go 1 -

@cmhubbard92 , Hi, I log my meals but I don't really pre-plan any meals, but I see on the spread sheet you fill in that I do? Am I correct in my understanding that the meals on the spread sheet is for the pre-planned meals challenge? Regards Petro0

@petrocoetsee It is pre-logged, yes... I honestly don't remember putting your numbers in, so maybe someone else has changed them and gave you the 1pt? 🤷♀️0 -

@richmondwriter It runs from Sunday to Saturday. So it started yesterday.
Great job at keeping accountable over the weekend, though! Weekends are my weakness.1 -

@Tinydancer106
For the mini challenge - UAC
Just log when you can. Please make sure to put a date/day for each log so I don't get confused. I Iike to give until at least Monday before posting results so everyone has a chance to post their log for the weekend, since weekends can especially be busy. Don't stress too much about it. I'm more likely to screw it up before you.1 -
