Hi all. I'm 37F, 5'3", SW 203, CW 184, GW 148 by fall 2021
I've been lurking around the forums for a long time, and this will be my first challenge! I'm not new to tracking or fitness, but I haven't been prioritizing my health and I'm starting to see some potential consequences. I'm currently navigating a big change in lifestyle (from a super physically demanding job to a desk job plus COVID isolation) which has resulted in a pretty significant weight gain of ~50-60 lbs over the past 2-3 years.
As a former [borderline successful] athlete and nutrition nerd, I feel I have all the skills, knowledge, and motivation I need to reach my goals, but I need to apply that in a sustainable way that suits my current lifestyle. In the past, I have had an obsessive, "all or nothing" mindset to achieving my nutrition and fitness goals. Nowadays I'm trying to be easier on myself and learning how to overcome challenges and situations that would have derailed me in the past. Basically, trying to have a No Drama relationship with myself moving forward. If anything, COVID has taught me to be more patient and approach everything from a softer, more empathetic perspective...and I'm trying to extend that to myself now too.
Anyway...I'd love to join just for a little extra push to get me out of my comfort zone during the winter doldrums and to meet some other motivated folks.
Mini goals:
1.) Complete virtual cycling tour from 2/14-2/20 -- focus on rest, hydration, and proper fueling!
2.) Work on flexibility by regular stretching or yoga practice -- goal is 30 sessions by St. Patty's (quality>duration)
3.) No alcohol through the end of February -- doing this to support BF, but will benefit me too!
4.) GW for this challenge is 179 or less
Reward:
MTB park season pass.
Can't wait to see everyone's progress!4 -

I would love to start this challenge!! I have been at roughly the same weight for the past several years. I lost 10lbs last March and then COVID happened and I completely let go after being overwhelmed with job loss, kids in virtual school and just being hidden in general. I’ve gained about 20lbs in the past year 😳 which makes this the most I’ve ever weighed in my adult life minus pregnancies.
Goals:
Drink a gallon of water and lose 6lbs
2/15- will check!
