15 pounds to lose challenge August-October 31, 2021

I'm in! I've never done a challenge on mfp, but I'm looking forward to it! I am setting my goal to lose 20 lbs in 3 months. I weigh in on Wednesdays, so I'll just keep doing that.

Do I post every week with my weight? Or post a master list and update it every week so it's all in one place?

Please count me in. This will be my first challenge. I like your backward design model @RubyRed427. 🙏

I love the reverse goal idea ! Starting here at 150 & & want to end up at 135 . I’m going to try that calendar idea when I get back home . I just made a coffee run from the beach house & was inspired by so many people out at 7am . It was super inspiring . I’m going to put in my contacts & get out there for 10,000 steps today !

Ready for this next challenge: I'm going to weigh in on Sunday.

I'm really looking forward to the journey with you all. I get really lazy and depressed during the winter months so developing healthy habits over the next 3 months will help me now and it will be easier to continue that during the winter months. I'm an active 70 y/o, 5' 4", and feel pretty healthy overall--except for the extra weight. I plan to do a formal exercise program 6 days a week (like treadmill and resistance training to start) while focusing on nutrition & hydration. Nutrition is challenging because my calorie requirements are low at my age. Good luck everyone! Fingers crossed!

Hello! 33F, starting using MFP again at the end of May after not the best lab results, I want to improve my health and be able to start hiking again without worrying if I can make it a few miles. Like most, my weight has been up and down over years but this time I feel like I am in it for the long haul, I'm learning how to cook healthy foods and making healthy habits.

May 28th 2021 Weight- 240lbs (also my highest weight)
Ultimate goal weight- 170lbs (I’ll reassess once there but that feels more like a doable goal right now)

Challenge starting weight- 220.4lbs
Challenge end goal- 205lbs
Sunday will be my weigh in day
