Hi all, I’m the captain here so please let me know if you have any question or challenge suggestions we could try.

My name is Amy, I’ve been here for a year now, I think... pretty sure October was my first challenge (and I won that month!) and I’ve been captain since December.

I’ve really struggled the last 6 months and have re-gained 30 of the 50lbs I’d lost I am recommitting and am going to try and win this month’s challenge too!

For the new people, we run an optional daily check-in so feel free to participate! It can definitely help make you feel more accountable.

The rough format is:
Daily Post (day)
Track: Yes/no
Calories: Under/over
Exercise: yes/no
Day: a general statement about how
Your day was, and particular successes or challenges.

You can definitely add things to this as well, I struggle to get enough water so I often track that in my daily post as well.

Hope everyone has had a great summer, and here’s to an awesome October!!

Hello everyone! My name is Amber! I am 29 years old! I’ve been in this group for awhile now and I’ve been off and on cuz I struggle a lot. A lot of my binging triggers is when I’m upset. And when I binge, it’s never the healthy stuff. I’ve lost 5 pounds last month and I’m pretty proud of that! I’m determined to keep moving forward and lose more! Fall is my favorite time of year

Let’s see some progress everyone!

Hello everyone,
My name is Amanda. I'm a mother of 3 kids, 9, 10, and 16. I do a lot of crafting, which is what got my through the 3 months of not working. About 5 years ago I lost around 45 pounds, an injury put a hold on my weight lose journey. Since then I have struggled to get back on the journey and gained back all that I lost. I have been back on here for over 2 weeks now and have been going strong with my eating, but struggling with exercise. I'm looking forward to this challenge to help achieve my goals and to encourage others with theirs.

My October goals:
1. Track everything I eat
2. Stay under 1400 calories each day
3. Exercise 30min 4 days a week
4. Drink 80 oz water daily
5. Lose 6 lbs for the month

Great goals!

Daily post Monday

Day: today was a pretty good day. I got to the gym and had a great upper body workout and actually stayed within my calorie goal! 😁

If you guys would like to, feel free to add me as a friend for some extra accountability!

Hey guys! Had a pretty tough day today to be honest, ate A LOT, unfortunately. Does anyone else struggle with bingeing? Seems like it's every other day these days. But I did manage to still get in my daily hike, sooo small victories right?? I am telling myself I'm going to stay consistent through the week, then Sunday night I can have a cheat treat. Feeling like I just need to build that momentum again.

Bingeing is my number one problem, so I feel for you! I have a huge appetite and a serious problem with potato chips and pizza. I also like to buy things in bulk and have a tendency to hoard food because I don't like seeing it go to waste. I had to seriously break the cycle of beating myself up after a binge and then throwing my hands up in the air and continuing to binge since I already "failed." Everyone is different, but for me the biggest issue was being too hard on myself and spiraling downward. I still have an occasional binge, but when I do, I try to do it intentionally with the mindset that I want to fully enjoy the food and then get back on track the next day. I also reflect on how yucky my gut feels or how sluggish I feel after eating too much of something. It's a lot of mental work!

Tuesday // 9.30.2020
Weight: 169.2
Calories: 1900 (goal 1500-2000)
Protein: 160 (goal 140)
Exercise: Yes!
Day: Today was so much better than yesterday. Giving myself a bigger calorie range really helped me stay sane and not freak out for eating a bit more than I'd like. If you struggle with the whole "already went over my calories so I may as well just keep going" mindset, I definitely recommend giving yourself a calorie range!
