Keep it up and let’s keep this going. The Consistent Journey is my challenge title. What is your stick to it, challenge title? Give it a name. It might help others to know you have a project title as well.0

Hey ALL !!!
Only 2 days til our First Weigh In as a Team in this 8-week challenge !!!
Let's make this weekend a good, healthy, active and positive one and have a great weigh-in on Monday !
For those of you who also Daily Weigh-in-ers, if you don't know if already, I strongly suggest Happy Scale app or any of that type. As we all know, weight loss is NOT linear and is only ONE factor in our weight-loss. It can be a major reason for discouragement if/when the scale has a different idea of the progress we made.
Happy Saturday !

I'm in! I had a really rough 2019 and gained a lot of weight. It took me a while to get back into the weight loss mindset, but I finally feel motivated to do it.

I started on January 6th. I weighed in at 236.8 LB. My goal is 165 LB. This morning, (1/25), I weighed in at 219 LB. Combination of tracking everything I eat, intermittent fasting, (only eating between 10 AM and 6 PM), and restricting caloric intake on Monday, Wednesday and Friday to less than 1,000 calories. Plus a lot of bike riding.5

Hi. Super late to the party but I would like to join. I used to be in pretty good shape, but have slipped over the last 5 or so years. I work a desk job and sit long hours at a computer each week. Turned 50 last spring but have been struggling with middle-aged metabolism for several years now. I’ve been actively working on that for about a year now and decided to work w a trainer 2x a week, both for assistance in losing weight and as a way to actually GET myself to the gym. It’s working...slowly. I’m 5’3 and my highest weight was 160 lbs a little over a year ago. This morning I was 148.8 lbs. My goal is to get below 140lbs. Doesn’t sound like much but it is a lot easier said than done. Let’s do this!

The last 10-lbs can often be a challenge b/c you have less fat to lose. Tightening down your nutrition program will be key and stay focused on your goals.
Does your work allow you to have a standing desk? That's way healthier than sitting all day. The research on the effects of long-term sitting shows significant health risks. My job is also pretty computer intensive and I've had a standing desk for 12 years. I know use a balance board to keep my body engaged.
Good luck!

I totally agree that tightening my nutrition is key. I’ve been trying really hard to maintain healthy calorie intake and regular exercise. Eating more whole foods, as well. I work from home now and went out and bought my own sit/stand desk because it just started to drive me crazy to sit so much. I have not tried a balance board. Hmmm.1

Don't beat yourself up over this. Remember this is a marathon not a sprint. Make a decision for each day and stay focused. You CAN do this.2 -

There are a few ergonomic factors in play with a standing desk (cushioned mat, alternating your stance, etc.) but I switched to a balance board. Found it more engaging for my core and it eliminated changing your stance or needing to be on a mat. When I worked from home I had a treadmill desk which was amazing!0 -
Tell us about your weekend. Did you stick to your plan or slide a little?0

Stuck to my plan, ate under my calories, stopped eating before 6pm, walked treadmill for 30 minutes, and logged my food.1 -

I am grateful that the scale went down. I worked very hard this week with diet and exercise. I did not slip up at all. I was expecting a larger water loss for the first week but I will be grateful I am less than I was last week. Our family challenge for the week is to exercise more minutes than last week so I better get buy. Have a great week everyone!2 -

Just gotta say I “broke” last night after 5 great days.. Friday pizza night with the family did it. I had a piece of pepperoni pizza and then another. Shoot! Up 4/10th of a pound this morning. I have done that before. I know better. Pizza is the worst for a guaranteed weight gain the next morning. Not giving up though... just keep swimming and reminding myself that consistency is the key to my weight loss.
I cleaned house today and worked my butt off. I’m so tired now. You don’t always need to go to the gym to get in exercise. Wash the car.. it’s a great workout too.
Good job!!! You're moving forward and that's all that's matters!! Pizza is my weakness 😔0 -
Week two!! Good luck friends! We can do it!! I. Didn't have the best weekend. But, I'm focusing on now and not dwelling on the past!!1

I finally was getting back on track when my rotator cuff blew while doing a plank and a very close friend passed. I have spent the last couple of months doing nothing and eating ALL the carbs. I bought the cutest Karl Lagerfeld dress on super sale for the service mid-March and I would be thrilled if all the buttons did up without playing peek-a-boo with my friends family.
I'm not posting weight but rather progress (seeing that number will pull my head out of the zone).

I did pretty good good wise this week. Horrible with activity. I am finding this shoulder issue difficult to work around...moving anything hurts. I see a lot of bands...but it is rare that my ears fall in love. Ezra Furman is featured in Netflix's Sex Education and I never imagined I would see him live. I was thrill he played close to me last night. Sadly I drank many beers and had super cheesed out nachos...but the scale still went down. Hooray. Feeding the soul is important too! Down 7...I don't care that it's water2
