    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
    Challenge Goal Weight (Jan 1 2021): 250 lbs

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

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

    Aug 28th 192.8 ( this month overall I haven't lost or gained any weight. Going to need to refocus if I want to see any progress.)

    I ended up losing 3 lbs for the month of August. Which from my trending app was all in the last 7 days.
    Ready for whatever September brings.

    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!

    Good work everyone. It's a holiday weekend here so I'm just trying to keep an even keel and refocus on Tuesday.
