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.

Mini Goal Progress:
1- The habit of first morning coffee and then exercise, is set. 🎉 I’m still shocked that this habit stacking works. Me? Exercise? Never would have thought it possible. I’d rather clean the kids’ bathroom than exercise (if you have kids- messy kids) you know what I mean.
2- Staying within calorie budget. As long as I plan ahead, and don’t have any extra cake lying around, then I’m usually able to stick to the budget.
3- Drinking 48-64oz water. Still a struggle to drink more water. 32 oz- I can do. 40 oz- most days (although not yesterday).
Hope you had a good week. You can do this!3 -

Hi all. I had a great week and crushed my goals! Started my cycling challenge yesterday and saw a slight uptick on the scale today, as expected (I weigh pretty much daily). I will be curious to see what happens afterward when my muscles recover by 2/24 or so. I have gotten in 5 yoga sessions since 2/9 and haven't had any alcohol, so my mini goals are in good shape. As a reward, I set aside $30 for a season pass at our local mountain bike park, which I've always wanted to do but never had the money or guts to commit to.
Hope everyone else is feeling positive and energized!
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.

2/15 I drank a gallon of water and ate the right amount 5/6 days. I forgot to bring my A game Saturday. I put in about 2.5-3 hours at the gym this week. I plan to knock the next 6 days out of the ball park.3 -

I'd love to join! I found this just in time and read every post.. Just rejoined MFP...weight hasn't changed much, but definitely feeling some physical blah a year into the pandemic. I'm a mom in her mid-40's, currently work at home. I'd like to drop 10 lbs overall, but feeling more confident in how I look is most important.

Hello!
So a little late to the party but would like to attend 😁
SW: 108
GW: 92- 98lbs (healthy BMR & BMI)
Goal lose 9- 16lbs by St Patrick's Day and keep it off!
Plan 1. Get back outdoors running, hopefully the marathons will be back this year and accountability is key. And get back to three different activities a week, everyday except the day of rest😂
Plan 2. Stick to daily calorie allowance.

Hey, how is everyone doing?? It was really hard for me to get on track after the chocolate and wine on Sunday 😂 but we fasted for Ash Wednesday and that was enough to boost my motivation. Meal prepped all day- chicken breast, egg muffins, breakfast patties and veggies. Since this is my first weekend holding myself to a calorie budget I wanted to be extra prepared. Will update my weight on Sunday, good luck thru the weekend!1

@vnorris25 As long as you maintain a 500 calorie per day deficit from your TDEE, you should come within spitting distance of GW in six weeks. Stay safe out there, -40 is nothing to F with! Nature doesn't care about your fitness goals but we do!2

All right! This has been a good week. I have indeed gotten some Ring Fit Adventuring in last weekend and one night this week, planning to do some more this weekend. I also got that outdoor walk in - I went to two different parks last Sunday and did a loop of their walking trails, totaling 60 minutes, and also did a 20-minute circuit of the parking lot at work on Tuesday, LOL. It was nice. My snacks were under 300cal for 5 out of the last 7 days, so that's decent. Overall I'm pleased with my progress and ready to continue crushing it.2 -

@pinknshady Meal prep is where it is at! I meal prep for busy days but tend to like to find recipes and cook on the weekend anyways.
So far my week has been really good. I made some really fun meal prep for work this last week. I started this challenge at 148lbs. Last weigh in I was down to 145.75lbs. Now, I am down to 144.25lbs. I am hoping to lose a half pound over the next couple days but my weight typically goes up a tiny every weekend. I am going snowboarding tomorrow so I will have to eat more.
How is everyone else doing?
