    Hi Team, my name's Krystal
    wife and mother to a 15-year old daughter. Florida native. I started my WL journey in April of 2016. Over the following 3 years I took my time to research and familiarize myself with the keto diet. I got into the pattern of being on the diet, then getting off, watch the scale creep up then get back on it(I did this in conjunction with a whole-lotta keto YouTube/ Pinterest/ social media *following* of all types). By the end of 2018 I was down to 189lbs when I turned to this group I accelerated my weight loss and have had much success with the accountability here

    My weight loss journey stats(reminder to myself that I need to stay in this challenge to reach my goal weight of 130lbs):
    May 2016 Journey SW: 213
    July 2017: 200
    Nov 2018: 189

    Hurray - I made it back to BBT! I am also going to join MUAC and the Step Challenge, because I have decided this year is the year to step up my game! I was last on BBT in 2019, the year we moved back to Florida from MD/DC. I am a 59 year old empty nester with son in 2nd year of college. We live on the Gulf Coast of FL, in a small amazing town called Dunedin. We have a great park with trails nearby, as well as a 45 mile paved trail a couple blocks from home, and the intracoastal and gulf beaches. I am blessed with so much here, I want to get in shape to be able to enjoy it.

    For the step challenge, I'd like to start Week 1 with a 5000 step goal. I tried 10,000 and rarely hit it, so I want to be reasonable and grow the goal as I grow.

    I took all my measurements with my weigh-in this weekend, and I realized that I have stayed pretty steady within a couple lbs and same inches +/- 1 inch for several years. But I can do better, and I can be healthier.

    So here I am ready to jump in and UP MY GAME with BBT for 2021!!!!

    Thanks for having me, and I hope to be a strong teammate for you all.

    @annabananamc yay! We are happy to have you back on TBBT! I am proud of you for pretty much maintaining in your absence from the team! That is something to definitely be proud of!

    For your step challenge, is that 5,000 daily(35,000 weekly), or 5,000 for the week?

    I will add you to the spreadsheet after your reply! :)

    Sorry I wasn't more clear, let's say 5,000 per day with one rest day, so 30000 for the week!

    Yes it’s right. Due to the fluctuation of my weight I last week and because I topically weigh in Sunday mornings anyway, I decided to change it. Thanks for looking out

    Hi everyone!!!

    My name is Jenn. I participated in a Biggest Loser challenge years ago and loved it. I dropped off myfitnesspal while I was a Weight Watchers member but since COVID closed the Studios, I didn't find the benefits of having a weigh in checkin anymore so I cancelled and came back looking for the accountability of a challenge.

    Some info about me: I am a 42 yr old mom of two amazing preteens, who are also my biggest cheerleaders. My entire household is working and learning from home full time which has some challenges (ex. My kids have different lunch schedules which means I am constantly in the pantry - which is filled with junk). To combat, I plan out every meal, meal prep and designated one small shelf of the pantry to my food so I don't grab their snacks. I enjoy working out but our gyms closed during the pandemic. I had to switch gears but I was able to score a treadmill and weights and I love to take livestream classes in my basement now (not sure I want to go back to a gym again!).

    My step goal is 15,000 per day. My calorie goal is 1400 but I am not super confident that is a good place. I find so many variations and calculators in a range from 1200-1600 cals/day. I am hoping to make enough changes to drop 30 lbs but not willing to.do anything I don't think I can sustain for life.

    I think I have rambled enough :) I am excited to join the group!!
