Welcome to the January challenge everyone! It officially kicks off on Sunday and I know I’m looking forward to a fresh start lol.
My name is Amy and I’m the team captain. I’m married with a 1 year old son and a 5 year old daughter.
I’ve been in this group for just over a year and have had some big ups and downs and sadly am nearly back up to my starting weight
On top of our weekly weigh ins we also do an optional daily check in to help with accountability, it can be anything you want but a loose format is:
Daily Post (day)
Track: Yes/no
Calories: Under/over
Exercise: yes/no or what you did
Day: how your day went, any specific challenges/successes
Happy to have you all here and I’m looking forward to kicking off a new year!4 -
Welcome everyone 1

Hello My name is Courtney Moncrief a d I am currently wanting to lose weight. I have four children between the ages of 10 and 2. My husband is currently away due to the military and I figured this is a perfect time to take charge of weight and eating healthy! I’m looking forward to everything I can do with added accountability! My biggest thing is sugar so I will tackle that first! Looking forward to this!

Hi all, I'm Tracy. I was in this group a few years ago and did well. Got back into old/bad eating habits and have gained it all back, plus more
Ready to get back on track again now!! 3 -
Hi Im Amber and I am really excited about doing this and seeing where I end up at the end of this challenge. I am not at my highest but I lost 40lbs a few years ago on MFP and I have gained it all back. I hope this can jump start new healthy habits for me this year.2

I'm in the same boat! A lot of us are, actually. I lost 30 lbs in 2017 and joined this group a little over a year ago when I noticed I was falling back into some old habits. Unfortunately, last summer I fell off hard and I have gained everything back and then some. We are in this together.

Hi everyone! I was just added to this team!
My name is Melanie and I am a single mama to a sweet 15 month old boy. My husband died during month 7 my pregnancy, so once baby was born, I devoted 100% of everything to the baby and truthfully just did not care about my weight. I have always been overweight and have done a few yo-yo diets (all 7-10 years ago). I now weigh more than I did at 39 weeks pregnant.... SOOOOO it's definitely time to change. I need to chase after this active little boy and feel better about myself!
I weigh-in on Sundays as that is the only morning where we are not rushing to get out of the house by 6:30am.
So, PW: 240.0
CW: 239.8
(I did my starting weight on Friday, so this obviously was not a full week, but I'm sticking with my weigh-in day of Sunday. Hope to be a better contributor to the team next week!!)6 -
Hi all. I am Carolyn and turned 55 last week. Before my son was born I was quite active and fit. Shortly after he was born, my husband quit his job to start his own business. Needless to say, my focus became about supporting my family and my weight creeped up every year. It's now time to focus on me.2

It’s mathematically impossible for me to have lost 4 pounds lol. Last week I had gone up 4 pounds so it’s probably just a lot of fluctuation from my eating salty food.
Hi all. I’ve been in this group since Spring 2019 and have lost 79 pounds. I am now trying to maintain and so far it’s been going okay. I am trying to fix my past mistakes of losing then letting my guard down and gaining it all back. The struggle is real! Lol2 -
Good morning team!
I was just added.
My story:
I have been obese all my life. A couple years ago I got serious about weight loss and lost 170lbs.
Then during a period of a long commute (4.5hours daily), relocating, buying my first house and the emotions of trying to get pregnant, I lost focus and gained 70lbs. March 2020, I got pregnant. I gained an additional 30lbs while pregnant.
My baby is now 6w old and I have lost the 30 baby lbs. My goal this year is to lose the previous 70lb regain.
My hands are really full with a new baby but we are trying to get family walks in as much as possible. I know at this point, exercise will probably not be consistent and reliable as part of my weight loss plan so I am super focused on my diet.
Excited to be part of the team. Feel free to add me as a friend if you wish.3 -

Hey Team Run Track Minds! I thought I’d stop by to introduce myself!🤗 My name is Krystal and I’ve been a part of the The Biggest Loser challenge off and on for sometime now and just recently I started assisting Ashley or @AB0215 with the spreadsheets. I wanted to show my face real quick and let you all know that I happen to be on here daily either looking for motivation or just making sure the challenge is running smoothly within all of the Team threads. Because I am in here so often, its easy for me to catch a small error before it snowballs into a bigger one! With that being said your Captains are the best! and they are still your best resource when you need them! I feel like I’m more like the TBL mechanic who may randomly pop in to say “Hey I changed the oil” or “Hey I changed your Weigh in Date as per your request”. I may even just drop by to ask about an interesting post or to give someone words of encouragement when they are needed.
Please feel free to add me as a friend and send me a message if you would like. I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate this challenge, it has changed my life and I want to do anything I can to keep it going strong!2 -
Hey All. My name is Crystal. I have been in this team since Nov of 2019. I came here because I had fallen off a bit and was starting to gain weight again after loosing almost 30 lbs in 2017. The accountability was great but I fell off hard this past summer and have been struggling to get on track. I have gained all the weight lost and then a few. There's something exciting about a fresh start: new year, new month, new challenge. My friend Courtney has joined this challenge and so I am excited about that. One thing I have struggled maintaining is daily posting and daily tracking. Those are my goals this month is to track 100% (because that's what helped me loose the 30 lbs) and to do the daily posting 80% of the time (because I need accountability and small wins!).
My weights are lower than most, and in the past people have left nasty comments. (This has never happened in this group! This group is full of amazing people). But, as a disclaimer I am 4'8 with a BMI of 29. So even though my weights look low, and my goal weight is 90lbs, know that 90 lbs is an average weight for my height and normal BMI. I felt my best at 93lbs. That's what I am shooting for.
We can do this 😄4 -

And for my daily accountability post...
Daily Post - Sunday 1/3
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: No. It was gross out.
Day: Day went okay. I really wanted to eat more... but, refrained from grazing throughout the day on whatever snack foods were handy. I did not drink my water goal, but came pretty close. Tomorrow I will.1 -
Daily Post: Sunday
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: Not yet but I have that as a goal after church tonight
Day: My day went well. I was still craving something after a big breakfast. So I ate a half a cup of nuts to fill me up. That was a good amount of calories but I still haven't gone over and I was able to adjust my lunch to account. I still have some protein and calories left so if I am hungry after lunch before dinner, I will make a protein shake. Staying under my goal carbs! (Third day in a row!). That's a huge victory.3 -
Daily Post: Sunday
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: 25 mins on bike
Day: had a good day, but constantly having hunger pains, even after a big meal. It's making me realize just how bad I had gotten with my eating2 -

Daily Post: Sunday
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: None
Day: was hoping to get a walk in today but baby naps schedule took all my attention and energy. Did really well food wise and mentally did good sticking to babys sleep schedule. I know that if I get overwhelmed with babys nap schedule, I kinda give up on the schedule which results in me giving up on the day and giving up on my eating. I didnt give up today!
Question, does anyone know if we can change our official weigh in day? Do we have to weigh in on that day? I chose Monday so that I would be accountable for the weekend. Mom brain forgot that im on maternity leave and my huabands weekend (therefore my weekend) is Wednesday and Thursday so I would like my official weigh in to be Friday morning so I dont mess up on our "weekend"2 -
Hi all,

Exercise: I have been out for a walk almost everyday and I did 5 workouts on top of the walks!!
Day: I never exercised regularly so the 5 workouts last week has been a great achievement (my body is in agony though 😋)

I can change you to a Friday weigh in, no problem 0 -
I know a lot of you are already going strong but I’m just starting fresh today so I’m excited for the new week, new month and new challenge!
I’m going to try and stay on top of things a bit better since we have a lot more members now. I’m going to try and do daily weigh-in reminders so we’re not missing a bunch at the need of the week.
Missing yesterday:
@doubleplay_643
Due today:
@33sandy1223
@Babycarrit
@bechoe
Anyone have any specific goals for the week? I’m going to focus on movement and water (I’ll add those to my daily check-ins too)

@AmyG1982 I have pretty much the same goals for the week! Increase water and use my bike at least 5 times.1
