New Year Finish Line - Weight Loss Challenge

I'm in. I'm not sure how much I can lose in 133 days. 13.1 kg hardcore down to 8.7 kg slightly easier. My current weight is about 93.8 kg so I'm looking at 80.7-85.1 kg. I'll probably post daily ideally.

Date/weight (kg)/intake (kJ)/distance ran (km)
21 August 94.2 new low, 5,998, 0 (unwell)

Good job, @zamphir66 . I lose better when I limit carbs but I'm just not in the lower carb headspace now.

Challenge Start Weight: 198.2
Weight Today: 197.8
Challenge Goal Weight: 174

I'm currently eating more carbs and calories since I tend to be more active in the late summer through the fall. I aim for 1,000 calorie deficits Monday-Friday and then eat at maintenance on weekends.

I'll join. Be nice to have accountability through the holidays.

Aug 25th starting weight 193.8
Jan 1st goal weight 175

I'll do weigh ins on Friday.

It’s 4 months till Christmas I’ve lost 27.8 lbs.
since May 6th 2020 found mfp july 25.
My ambitious goal lose another 27lbs. But realistically-15 to -20. I just got back from a week of cycling eating 3 miles a day in restaurants. Lots of bar food. Going to wait till Thursday to weigh myself.
I try not to weigh myself everyday. Officially it’s once a week sometimes twice.

Hi new to this challenge. I like the idea of tracking and being accountable. I have been weighing myself only once a week. By weighing more frequently it should adjust my results.
Today is 8/27/20
Starting weight: 193 lbs
Today's weight: 193 lbs
Seven-day moving average: N/A
Days until 1/1/21: 127
Goal weight: 175 lbs

My apology. I got so ahead of myself, I forgot my manners. May I join your group challsnge

Good morning friends! I'm feeling some good progress toward our goals coming on - how about you?

Today I'm trying to remember consistency is my aim. When I had to take a hard look at myself I saw that I tend to vacillate between almost manic perfectionism (usually for about 3-6 weeks) and totally unrestrained, destructive eating (for about 3-6 months). Today I will accept the grace to fail sometimes and keep going anyway!

Original Start Weight: 306 lbs
Challenge Start Weight (Aug 25 2020): 289 lbs
Weight Today (Aug 27 2020): 287.4 lbs
Challenge Goal Weight (Jan 1 2021): 250 lbs

I agree! Sometimes I have to step back and not obsess quite so much. I really like the Just Give Me 10 Days Challenge, but will need to take periodic breaks from it because weighing so frequently can sometimes feed my obsessions a little too much. So, I need to psych myself out a bit at times and not weigh so often. It's why this challenge plus Just Give Me 10 Days is my current strategy for not getting derailed.

I've lost and regained the same 30-35 pounds four times in the last six years. I am now near my lowest point since 2014 and I am not going to let myself regain it this time. It gets very tiresome restarting at my highest weight and then having to start all over. Not going to let it happen this time. Not. Not.
