Lose 5lbs + in January 2020
Replies

While I was at home during the holidays, I found it easier to eat two meals a day. I had a few days where I really indulged (1500 to 2000 calories) but they have seemed to balanced out now.
My weekly average was 119.4 last week so I am not worried about my weigh-in today.
FYI: I have adjusted my ultimate goal because when I hit 118 last month, I realized that I still wanted to try to lower my body fat to a normal range. I have been back and forth with 33% and 34% for about a month. My goal is 30% and we will see what happens. I tend to carry my weight around my waist and hips.

1/04 - 188.8 - Back to exercise.
1/05 - 188.8 - Not a minute's sleep last night😩
📍1/06 - 188.6 - I slept well, because I was so exhausted from the night before. Tried to power through my exercise , but I already knew that wasn't gonna happen. I will add it to today's workout.
*Currently, I have had 13 days (just counted it) of no peanut butter. I have gotten into a habit of eating it to make up for the protein and fat I was missing in a day, only a lot of carbs come with it too. I will not buy it anymore.
*2020 is my commitment year to breaking 2 habits, crunchy, (no pretzels!) and peanut butter.
Okay, it's in the world now and I will do it.

Hello everyone any happy new year. I started trying to lose weight by changing my eating habits and exercise. I got a one month start on my new years resolution and started in December. My very first run I feel like I only made it 100m before I couldnt breathe(December 3rd). Yesterday I ran a 5k without stopping and am very happy with my results so far.

Thank you for posting this challenge.
I hate to blame it on my hypothyroidism, but I’m done with the weight gaining! 😭
I’ve started counting calories again with MFP and hoping that I stay focused, accountable and motivated to fit into my clothes.

I tracked my calories this week and went to hot yoga 2 days. Walked the dog a mile one day. Looks like I'm going to need to step up the activity to meet this goal! I used the MFP recipes to plan my meals this week and put spinach on everything. Here is to another pound this week.5 -

Just curious if you have looked into intermittent fasting. It’s a nice supplement to counting calories and can help with hormone regulation. Dr. Fung’s videos on YouTube have some great info.4 -

Between TOM drop and initial calorie deficit drop, I'm off to a better start than I expected. While I don't expect to lose this much again, I hope I stay consistent enough to keep the downward trend.
