Hey all! After a few weeks indoors and essentially living on the couch, I’ve decided I want to get back into a healthy routine.

With all this craziness going on, and being forced to isolate, likely for months, now is a perfect time to focus on ourselves and getting healthy at home.

That being said, STARTING TODAY, I’m challenging all who are interested to a weight-loss competition.

I have a spreadsheet made to keep track of our progress and am creating a group so we can support and challenge each other.

The competition will run from today, Monday, March 30th, to Friday, July 3rd.

All you need is a scale, and a bit of determination!

Weigh-ins will be every Monday and Friday (Friday optional, but recommended!) and your weight will remain confidential.

We will celebrate winners on the last weigh-in day of each month, based on pounds and % lost, and an overall winner at the end of the competition!

I’ve done challenges like these in the past, and they’re always fun and motivating 😊

Comment below if you’re interested, and I’ll send you more details! If you happen to come across this post a day or two late, no worries, comment here anyway!

Hope everyone is staying healthy and happy 💕

    Sound's interesting... Does it have to be by the scale though? I am building muscle on top of loosing weight. I would prefer inches/belt notches so that muscle weight doesn't confuse me. I will use the scale if that's my only option.

    @JoeyTheWanderer We’re definitely gonna celebrate all kinds of successes within the group, but the competition itself will be based on pounds and % lost! PM me if you’re still interested!

    I’m happy to see that the weight-loss group/challenge I created yesterday is filling up fast, but so far, it’s just me and a bunch of guys 😂

    Would love to get more ladies on board! If you, or anyone you know is interested, let me know! Details are at the top of this thread, and the URL for the group is:

    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/136348-stay-at-home-weight-loss-challenge

    Check it out and let me know 😊
