New-ish here. I've popped in and out in the past but have new determination.
Goals:
1. Log at least 6 days a week
2. 3 days strength training

Bonus if I lose a pound or two...

Hi All,
I'm new to the group but looking for some accountability! My goals are:
1. Track every day and stay pretty much on track
2. Run 15km/week
3. Start doing just a little bit with weights - even though I hate weights!3 -
Hello everyone, I’m new to the group too. : )
I’m looking to:
1. Do weights every other day.
2. Keep up my protein intake
3. Lose a pound a week.
4. Up my water.
Looking forward to getting and receiving inspiration and accountability!3 -
I'm just staring my journey, new to the process.
My goal for the month:
1. Drop to 140lbs. (5lbs to go)
2. Eat out only once a week.
3. Appropriately portion my meals.
So far I'm off to a good start, doing my runs and keeping my meals within a normal size portion!4 -
Hello and happy fall! I lost my inspiration somewhere this summer. I was missing the vibes of the gym and the beach I guess.
So here I am after being gone too long. This month I'll just cut and get my weight trend moving downward again. Goal for now is the high end of maintenance range, 5 lbs down from here @5'6", 139.9. Yes the idea of gaining back that .1 lb back terrified me into action. Then I'll reassess.
1. Logging every day
2. Keep strength training on alternate days but add 10 minutes of aerobic warmup (got a step for this!)
3. Get out on the trails 5 days a week - short outings count!5 -
Hello to you all !
I am completely new to joining any community or sharing my fitness / weight loss aims with anyone.
I really hope this forum will help me:
1. Stop snacking ( when I was working in the office I had managed to stop snacking, now I am working from home I eat constantly - I am rewarding myself with food ( boredom tiredness too busy to make anything )
2. Log my food in mfp - I joined mfp years ago but I have never logged my food for longer than a few days.
3. Loose the stone I have put on since March ( I will not manage this by the end of November but I would like to be heading in the right direction by December)
4. Exercise three times a week
I know I feel better if I am fitter and I am at my ideal weight and I know it’s best for my long term health ( as I am no longer 21 !) I just need reminding sometimes.
Good luck to all of the rest of you on this thread - I hope you all reach your goals !

09/11: 74.0 Which I know is pretty high, I saw some lower numbers the last days. I feel I have to work harder than usual to drop the weight, I guess it might be hormonal and that a pre-menopausal change is happening.2 -

New her too. And late to start. I tried to not look at the scale during this Covid mess, but need to get back to my weight before this started.
SW- 125

My goals this month:
1. Close all my rings x3 on my apple watch- in the apple watch contest and that's the goal and playing pickleball has made that easy to do.
2. Log all my food and eat my calorie goals.
3. I have added a stretch routing to my daily exercise this month which has helped with my migraines and overall body movement - I still need to force my to do it. So goal is to stretch everyday... 3 xBody pump/ wk.3 -
First post ever! I'm here to be more accountable for my unhealthy habits and binge eating while losing some COVID weight gain.
Goals for November:
1. Find starting weight/measurements (just ordered a scale) and determine goals
2. Eat only one snack per afternoon
3. Check in on this discussion board for accountability, especially during the Thanksgiving holiday3 -

Hi all!
Been using myfitnesspal for years on and off, and took a long hiatus during my pregnancy and postpartum journeys recently. I'm almost 8 months postpartum now and finally managed to get under my pre-pregnancy weight Now focusing on losing the last bit that I've been wanting to lose even before getting pregnant.
We're leaving for a beach holiday 16 December so the goal is to reach my goal weight by then. I hope this (and the December accountability thread) will help

Checking in:
11/1 (5'6") 139.9
11/8. 137.7
11/9. 139.5.
Worked hard last week, logged every bite, added more sprinting and longer jogs than I needed to.
The scale moved down but back up after a refeed. I am not going to run for a few days, the recovery makes me so hangry... but I still want my running skills and endurance back (after baby/injuries) and so I’m torn.Goals:
1. Logging every day - yes
2. Keep strength training on alternate days but add 10 minutes of aerobic warmup (got a step for this!) - yes (but still waiting for my step).
3. Get out on the trails 5 days a week - short outings count! - yes, streak is 9/10 days.3 -
Checking in for the day
This morning I was in the 55.something kg range for the first time in a long time! Hope it sticks around, especially since I had a friend for coffee and some treats this morning. I have my husband's year end party tomorrow night and looking to wear a dress I haven't worn in ages. I'm a bit scared to try it on... We'll see!

And the dress fit! glad about it, but I might not actually wear it. I'm eyeing a pencil skirt if I can find a pretty top. Anyway, managed to stay within the 55.sometings even after the morning snacks and evening pasta from yesterday. Hopefully I don't throw it all out the window over the weekend.

Hi all!
47 for another 10 days
5'2"
CW 114
GW 112 for this month
CBF 21%
GBF 19% ultimate goal
So today I am going to the Red cross to donate blood. (red cells)!
I've used to donate but after a rejection when I weighed less than 110, I hadn't.
But since I am over the limit, and being the universal donor (rh negative O), I figured, WHY NOT!
Going to OTF as usual in the morning then shower up, hydrate and rest before heading out.
Have a good weekend!!!2 -
I am new to this discussion thread but have been a myfitnesspal member for quite a while and I know that when I use it, I lose weight. However, in the spring I began to gain weight, especially when the gym closed. I am hoping to get back on track now that I am tracking and exercising again.3

I currently weigh 140lbs and would like to get down to 138 by 11/30. I had wanted to get down to 132lbs by 12/31 but I think I won’t quite make it, but that is ok. I need to increase my activity, even though I hate cold weather.1

14/11: 74.6
15/11: 74.4
16/11: 74.1 - it is sooooo slow and I am wondering if it is hormonal or maybe my pain meds are interfering with my weight loss. I know my body full well by now and I know exactly what I need to eat and how much exercise I need to do. But this is caterpillar slow ... but at least it is downwards !2
