    Just joined and just saw this challenge. For me, 6 1/2 pounds by Jan. 1. That doesn’t sound like a lot but I am short so that is at least one size down. Weight today 124.5, goal 118.

    Welcome aboard, @sveltegirl51! Here's to one size down!

    I had a little bit of a blowout last night, but it was also a planned blowout, so I had a small breakfast, skipped lunch, and drank lots of water.

    Seven-day moving average: 165.7

    August is coming to an end. I have been tracking my calories, exercise and weight this summer which has helped me not to gain additional pounds. I started off July 1st at 204lbs and lost 9 lbs in July. My weight has stayed the same for August at 193lbs. Which is a good thing. For some reason my body does not want to go below that market. Looking forward to this challenge to make a further difference.

    I'm glad that eating more carbs doesn't seem to be impacting my losses right now like it used to. I wonder if it's because I'm not as big as I was and/or I am doing IF, but I do seem more insulin sensitive than I was 38 pounds ago. That's encouraging. I'm especially glad because fall is such a delicious, carby time of year. So many root vegetables and soups. And where I live, the predominant crop is potatoes. It's almost an affront to our local farmers to avoid them. lol

    So many resolutions begin on Jan. 1 -- how about one that starts now and ends there? I want to reach 155 lbs or less between now and then. I'm taking it super slow, eating reasonably healthy, and exercising.

    The plan:

    * Weigh in and post as frequently as you like. I'm aiming for just about every day. I'm also going to track a 7-day moving average to smooth out daily ups and downs.
    * Share what works and what doesn't.
    * Be positive and encouraging.

    So here goes:

    Today is 8/20/20
    Starting weight: 167.4
    Today's weight: 167.4
    Seven-day moving average: N/A
    Days until 1/1/21: 134
    Goal weight: 155

    OK, let's see who gets on board. It's possible this is a challenge of 1, and that's fine. Wish me/us luck!

    How do I join this challenge x

    Hello Everyone! I went on a bit of a spree several days since I last posted, by the grace of God very near maintenance levels. I'm in it for the long haul so I'm shaking it off and focusing on today. Today, I'm committed to the calorie deficit that MFP suggests for me in light of my stats and goals.

    Original Start Weight: 306 lbs
    Challenge Start Weight (Aug 25 2020): 289 lbs
    Last weigh-in (Aug 27 2020): 287.4 lbs
    Weight Today (Sep 01 2020): 287.4 lbs

    I joined a new private gym yesterday; the local university rec center where I had been a member is full of folks either half my age or twice my age, and I was tired of it. The new gym gets me 24/7 access too, so that's a perk.

    Starting weight: 167.4
    Today's weight: 163.4
    Total Lost: 4

    ^ I think at this point I've shed any watery weight I might have been holding on to. Now the real work begins!
