Here's the new thread for the next 16 weeks - 20 pounds to lose challenge. All are welcome!2 -
I would like to join! My goals are to:
Lose 20 lbs
Follow my workput plan every day
Track every day
Run a 10k in June
Hike a 14er before end of July4 -
I probably shouldn't, but I am doing a crash diet to jump start my weight loss again. I am drinking 2 of the new Keto Slim fast shakes, 1 for breakfast and 1 for dinner and having a sensible lunch and a snack if needed. The difference between regular Slim Fast and Keto is the Keto one has no sugar plus it has something called MCT oil which is supposed to help you lose weight. Will this work? IDK. I must say I have had slim fast in the past and am hungry again in an hour. Not today. We will see; it is day 1. Some articles on line say this MCT oil can cause, ahem..."intestinal distress". Ugh. Haven't had that yet either. Obviously I am not staying on this long term but will give it two weeks. I'll weigh in on Sunday and report my findings.7

Welcome everyone to the group. It's a great group and has been a huge motivator for me. At my highest I weighted 306, which is extremely obese. Today I'm at 265, and the good news for me is I was able to get into a size 46 pants that I have not gotten into for years. And I was able to go upstairs in my house without throwing a rope up, hooking it on the banister and pulling myself upstairs...well, it felt like that's what I needed to do anyway.
This group has helped me take my own advise, and I’ll share that later...but for now, If you all don't mind, I'd like to do some research, pros and cons... the question is, which is the best day to weigh-in and why, Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday?

pros and cons... the question is, which is the best day to weigh-in and why, Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday?
Great question!
Since my husband and I enjoy eating out on weekends (it’s been take-out since Covid) and those foods are more difficult to calculate even with MFP, I weigh in on Friday morning. That way I know where my weight is before allowing myself to partake in what might be more caloric foods. It’s worked well for me and kind of feels like rewarding myself a bit for dietary diligence throughout the week.

- Friday: ending the week, and possibly earning a reward.

Good for you @JenT304 ! You’ll never know what works for you unless you try. The key is to try something. Good luck!3 -

I love Monday’s for the fresh start but Fridays for having something to work toward all week. I find the weekdays the easiest to stay on track so I’m most likely to see progress at the end of the work week. Haven’t decided yet which day I’ll pick for this group ... leaning toward Friday.
