Ok...... here goes.....
I’ve been doing these challenges for over 3years now and they seem to help people a lot, which is fantastic!! But the past few months I haven’t been posting them due to personal reasons that got the better of me, and so other have created groups with the same title to continue the monthly challenges, and rightly so.
However, it’s a new year, a new start! I’m going to be posting these challenges monthly again, and I hope people would still like to join in with me .
Now, the boring part lol.
This is a friendly, supportive challenge! It is not a competition!
People can feel free to come and go as they please. Post as often or as little as they like.
Feel free to post about more than just your weight! We are all doing this together, so if you feel like your struggling or you’re method isn’t working, post about it and get support and advice from others. Post about your mini accomplishments and let everyone celebrates with you.
This is the format for posting weekly (or daily) weigh-ins (it’s just an example btw). So this way we can all keep up with what’s happening with each other and cheer each other on :-

Well.... that was a long post, but best to explain a little incase anyone who used to do this with me decides to join in again lol.
Please do not disrespect each other or tear each other down, we all know how hard this journey can be.
Hope you all had a magical Christmas and a happy new year. I wish you all the best for 2020.
Thank you xx

This is the heaviest I've been since being pregnant- 15 years ago.
My work clothes don't fit and I'm loathe to buy new ones in a bigger size which I don't want to be!!!

Welcome back Samantha! @SamanthaLouiseMence
2019 was a learning experience for me. I spent a little over half of it traversing the 170's, then, extreme stress, and adrenal fatigue got the better of me and I crept back into the 180's. Extra carbs from July thru November, but mostly good carbs until December.
Time to turn away from the carbohydrates. Back to keto basics. Step the carbs down through January and then count total carbs, no more net carbs. (Maybe 1 high vegetable carb day a week, followed by a 24hr fast? Thinking about it. Always experimenting☺) Back to consistent intermittent fasting also, 18/6. Continue with castor oil pack protocol, 2 more sessions over the next 2 weeks.5 -

Hi Everyone,
Hoping to get back on track after a 6 month slump (my typical pattern... lose Jan-June and vacillate between gain and maintain for the rest of the year).
Aiming to try and fast for 14 or more hours a day, significantly limit sugar and processed foods and drink more water, something that is super hard for me to remember to do 😝. I want to listen to my body more and track less as I get closer to my goal weight and maintenance mode.
Wishing myself and all of you luck this month.
Original starting weight - 199lbs (love that this is included. Helps me be mindful of how far I’ve come instead of just how far is left to go)
January starting weight - 158.4 lbs
January goal - 150 lbs (as I’m pretty sure a few of these lbs are water weight from the holidays)
Ultimate goal - 135 lbs.
1st - 158.4 lbs (one more get together with family to get through this weekend. Hopefully being mindful about this challenge will help me avoid over indulging.)
