Hi,

After the Summer Holiday I will be going for a new (my first!) challenge: getting to a healthy weight (<bmi 24) before Christmas: 84.8 kg. I will start measuring when I return from Holiday (August 23rd) and expect to weigh around 95 kg, so have roughly 10 kg to lose in roughly 4 months. And I will use weekly weighing averages Monday-Sunday (measuring at least 6 times a week). I aim to find the right balance between restricting Caloric intake (2000 Cals/day), and more PA (800 Cals/day) B)

Starting weight Sept 1st: to be determined on August 29th
Progress week 1 (to be determined on Sept 6: weight / difference

Who wants to join (and support!) me? I'm looking forward! :)

Simon

    I'm in! Restarted MFP a month ago dedicated to losing Covid weight. If I can stay on track, I should be able to make goal right around Christmas. This challenge is perfect for me.

    I started this challenge with my weigh-in day (Wed) this past week. My first real challenge happened yesterday ... birthday party/dinner with a group of friends. Planned ahead, took a small portion of everything (including the cake!), and logged everything very conservatively. Ended day within calorie allowance🙂. Very pleased with myself! (Did not feel deprived at all). Having a day like this and not having it derail me for a day or two is major for me! Good practice for the next two weeks ... a day trip scheduled for next Sat and a weekend trip the week after. Will get a chance to see if yesterday was an accident or if I can do it again (and again)!

    First time doing a challenge like this, do we post stuff like weekly weigh ins and achievements/struggles on here?

    I would love to lose 20 more pounds by Christmas. I post both my actual scale weights along with my trend weights. Trendweight.com links right to my fitbit and helps me keep track of my trends. Thanks for offering this challenge.
