This can be a diet or excercise or both whatever motivates you?
I would be interested in all of the above.
Please indicate interest and we will organize for 7/1 - 9/30

I’m in
my goals are pretty specific to my own life, so I’d be down for a choose-your-own-adventure type challenge 1 -
YES!!!! I actually already have July's workout plan and no idea what kind of schedule I'll be looking at for August and September, but I'm sure I'll still be trying to lose a bit of fluff, so I'm totally up for a challenge group!!!
Can we do both? We can do an exercise challenge (either group or individual goals) as well as a food challenge, and then people can choose to participate in one or the other or both, but we could still have a singular group for support and such???1 -
Count me in ! 🌈1

I’m down, I’d just have to do walking for exercising right now. My doctor wants to work my way up to the gym.1

Hello All - here is what I am proposing, please let me know what you think
3 month challenge
3 dimensions
Logging Food & staying at it under calories goal
Exercise
Weight loss
You can weight these 3 categories 15-45% with the total being 100%
For the logging and staying at or under cal goal, evaluated weekly
7 days = 10 points
6 days = 8
5 = 6
4 and under = 0
Exercise (any type including walking)
5 days 20 min or more = 10 points
4 days 20 min or more = 8
3 days 20 min or more = 6
2 or less = 0
Weight loss at end of 3 months
100 point = 100% goal
90 points = 90% goal, etc.
We will report weekly and weight in at beginning, 6 weeks, and at end

CW 155.2, I can typically lose 2-3 lbs a month, so I'm going to aim for an aggressive 9 lbs total loss (146.2)
I'm going with P90X and P90X3 for workouts, plus 1600 cal on Tu/Sat and 1200 cal the other 5 days
Log all the days, do all the workouts
I'm going to try to post daily since that typically helps keep me on track - whooo hooo, time to get started!!!!1 -
Great
My first day is the start of a much need vacation so it may be a slow start for me0 -
Day 1 (7/1) - did great on the workouts, x-chest/back+ab ripper, x3-total synergistics, did maintenance (1600) on the food...was just so very hungry all day long...and maintenance is better than over eating...plus at least the nutrition was solid, not junk...it's the start of pms week for me, and this is looking like a raging appetite one, so this week will be a struggle for sure in the food arena...1
-
I did horrible 😞
I am on vacation ... drank too much, no workout and ate horribly0 -
Day 2 (7/2) - Excellent day, workouts and food on target
Day 3 - Excellent day, workout and food on target, which is pretty easy on a maintenance day
Day 4- Workouts done, and it was quite a challenge to fit them in so I'm quite proud of that, but food was maintenance and was supposed to be poverty, so that's a no-go on the food goals
Day 5 - Good day, did the P90X workouts, but skipped P90X3 CVX because I was just super gassed and with the travel and the food on target, it was just a no go...so only 75 min of workouts, which is still plenty, and if I get a day where I'm super peppy, maybe I'll try to fit that in as a makeup workout but I already have a pretty aggressive workout plan, so not sure that can realistically happen.1 -
Ok I am down for a total fail for week 1
6 days of vacation and I came back to a hurricane warning
Tomorrow is a new day and I will be back stronger than ever 👍0 -
Week 1 went ok, but could be better...I had 90-105 min of exercise planned each day and I made all of that except for skipping 2 of the 30 min routines...but I only made my food goals 4 of the days...and 2 of those were maintenance days, so I really only stuck to poverty calories 2 days...so if I'm going to meet my fat loss goals, I'm going to have to get much better about the food...on the plus side, I did track all 7 days so that's a step up from some weeks before the challenge, so I'll take that slight win there...
Week 1 = 0pts food + 10pts exercise1 -
I'm in! The more accountability the better, and even better from other queers. Add me as a friend!0

Sorry I haven’t been feeling well.
CW: 327lbs
If I incorporate exercise for the week I can lose about 4-7lbs. I know once I lose a bit more weight that won’t be as much.
I always stay under my calories and aim for a calorie deficit of 1900 as that’s my goal weight’s calorie intake well based off what’s online.
Goal weight is 230lbs.
I’ve stuck to portion size, low salt, low sugar meals and drinking lots of water.
I have to work my way up to the gym so for exercising I’ll try my best to walk around and clean.
As for June 28th through now I’ve stayed under my calorie goal, I just need to add more exercising. I’ll will update in 3 days.0 -

Week 2 - I did P90X every day except one, but only did X3 one day...so not as good as planned but still a solid showing...food was not in line 2 days, but 5 were good, which is way better than the prior week, and I do feel like knowing I was going to have to post this was a big help in the motivation arena.
prev - 10 pts
Week 2 = 6pts food + 10pts exercise
0 -
Week 3 - 11 workouts done, so there were still a few days I missed X3, but not as many, which was super nice...food was, well, honestly food was a bit out of line...I was over maintenance by about 200 cals on 2 days, plus over poverty by 100-200 cals another 2 days...so, while that all still puts me below maintenance for the week, it's not progress as planned. Friday I head to the beach for a week of vacation with a friend and our daughters, it will be fun, but traditionally I gain weight over summer vacations with lots of great food and ice cream and evening drinking while playing games. I want this year to be different. I want to stay on the workouts and I want to keep with the food tracking. I'm taking my workout calendar and weights and all the stuff I need to do the workouts, and the plan is to make that priority 1, first thing in the morning, before any beach things, before the kids are even up, the main workout will be done...hopefully I can squeeze in the second workout after the beach, and possibly abs while cooking dinner on the days I have an ab routine. We'll see how it goes, but I'm just starting to see some slimming in the belly FINALLY and I don't want to lose the progress I have or interrupt my forward momentum right now!
prev - 26 pts.
Week 3 = 0 pts food + 10 pts exercise1 -
Week 4...workouts done each day - only 1 a day since vacation started, but that's one more than I usually do on vacation, so it totally matters in a big way to me that I'm still doing the workouts...plus 6 days on target for food, and all days tracked, which is also another big win for vacation because most of the time I just don't...
prev - 36 pts
week 4 - 8 pts food + 10 pts exercise
this is a bit like masturbating though, I feel like I'm playing all by myself...1
