Anyone up for another 10# Challenge, starting 1/1/2022 and on until 4/1/2022?
Same as always, check in on start date, and weekly on Saturday, with your losses. You can list your weights, if you want, or not. Just need the downs, and probably ups for the week.
I'm hoping for a 10# below goal final, which might, or might not be a 10# loss, but the competition helps.
Those of us attending WW meetings can either use their last weigh-in, and following, weights, or your at home ones. Your choice.

Not sure I’m up for a challenge approach, Al. I’ve settled into a target of 2# per month, which is giving me a nice mix of flexibility and progress. As long as that’s working, I hate to disrupt it.
As an alternative, I'd set a target of 6 pounds against your 10, and maybe we can both be winners.2 -

Whatever works for you. Anyone can tailor it to their own needs.0 -
Helloooooooo GOAD!
Yes for me on the 10 Pound Challenge. You beat me to it, Al!

I am in!2

I'm all in! I got a call from my Cardiologist Christmas Eve saying he was giving me an early Christmas present. My last echo on Wednesday week before Christmas week has my EF factor from 35-40 which is very low to 55-60 which is normal. This was after having a new biventricular 3 lead pacemaker installed on 9/10/21. In feeling much better. 🏃3

I'm in! Taking 10 pounds off would get me a couple of pounds below my personal target, so that would give me a little buffer!2

I will sign up.1

Here we go! I'm planning to use my "official WW" number every week, so 220.2#0

I’ll use my daily number as of the post, which is 199.4.0

Checking in! Love this idea! Thanks for swinging by FB with the invite Al. I'm in, weighed this a.m., and am not sharing my number 🤦🏼♀️.
So many regrets but they don't help, so, putting that aside and moving forward. I would really like to reach goal this year and work maintenance. But wishing and hoping aren't getting me there, so I committed to making progress with baby steps.
This week, track, stay w/in DPs, and do arm exercises. I'd planned a short walk each day to start too, but I'm sick, and this is what I can handle, so onward.
We got this!1 -
I'll be using my WI for this morning.

I weighed in on Sunday. It was about where I expected but still an ugly number.
I'm toying with the idea of not doing weekly weigh-ins for awhile - - perhaps during the entire challenge. I've done this before but not had a good plan around an end-date. It was really useful short-term. Doing this helps me focus on my BEHAVIORS versus RESULTS. After all these years, the scale can still p$$! me off or make me too happy. I know that if I track my food and move more, the results will come . . . in time. Right now, I'm not sure I want the scale interfering with that knowledge.0 -

Emmie, do whatever is going to WORK for YOU!0 -
Thanks Al! I should have clarified. I plan to be in the Challenge, I just may not know weekly scale progress. However, I WILL report weekly "behavioral" progress.1

Well . . . I busted out my official WW "weigh-in outfit" and made my way to a studio today to get an official starting weight for this challenge. I'm not going to follow the "new" WW plan or even put the app back on my phone, but I am going to use the studio for my weigh-ins. I'm thinking I'll weigh-in every 4-6 weeks for this challenge.
At least that's my current thinking.

As I said, I did math on Wednesday (because of the icy conditions). As I'm a daily weigher I looked up the last time I was that "at home" number, and then looked up what I weighed at WW, and Voila! saw I was down 1.6#.0

Gee... I figured we'd have more participation than this.

Down 1.6 for last week0

I guess I wasn't sure how this would look...are we checking in daily? Weekly? Here or on the weigh-in thread?
I'm participating.
My 12/31/2021 weight was 137.6, and that's what I'm using as my start weight. I like to report my weight on Fridays, so on 1/7/2002 I was 137.4: a whopping 0.2 pound loss! Go me!
But seriously, I've got a plan and I've been sticking to it so far. I've limited alcohol to the weekend, and have "allowed" myself air-popped popcorn with a bit of butter-flavored Pam and salt as my weekday evening snack (no alcohol). So far so good. While I haven't really started showing a significant loss on the scale, it seems that it often takes a couple of weeks (or more) for the losses to start showing up. If the scale doesn't start moving soon, I may have to make some adjustments.0 -

Steve, and all, Do it as YOU want. Actually, since Wednesday is my WW day, I think I'll start using then to post.
It's not about me, or my parameters, it your preference.
This is just a fun thing to try to keep us engaged.0 -
I'm planning to check in here at least once a week but also continuing my habit of checking in on the Friday wrigh-in thread.
I've been a diligent tracker all week. I haven't stayed within my allotted calories each day, and my food choices haven't been consistently good, but diligent tracking will get the snowball of good choices slowly rolling. It's enough for this week. I'm feeling good about tightening things up more for week #2.
More on Friday.0 -
Got to our WW meeting this morning. Up 0.6# from last week's math, but down 1.2# from the WW weight 2 weeks ago. That's 1# below goal, and my plan is ti get 10# below goal, with no real time frame, but I'd like to lose 1#/month average. We'll see. This cold cuts down on my outdoor walking, and our small house is hard to really get steps comfortably.0

Things are going pretty well, but not perfect. My meals have all been as-planned, and I've been getting in my exercise. I've continued to "allow" air-popped popcorn each night. The only downside so far is that after having "salty" I really wanted "sweet." Thus, I had some gummy candy that I didn't really need.
Tonight I am going out with friends for a few beers. That is definitely not part of my plan, but bonding with these folks is really important to me, so I'm allowing it to override my weight plan. It just can't become routine!1 -
OK I will leave this here as well as the Friday weight loss thread.
Down 3 pounds this week, total loss since Jan 1 5.2 pounds on my way to 10!0 -
I'm up a pound this week. I was out drinking with some friends last night, so it's hard to use this weight as an accurate measure. With that said, I haven't really made any significant downward progress since New Year's, but at least I've stopped the upward trajectory. I probably need to tighten-up my eating just a little bit more. I've been snacking on popcorn nearly every night, but a couple of times I also had some gummy-type candies to satisfy a craving for sweet after salt. I should probably get back in the habit of having tea as a snack.

I guess I'll check in here on my WI day which is Friday.Of course in not on WW and haven't been since they changed everything up plan wise for the humteeth time but anyway. I'm up .8 lbs since challenge started. However this is my report from today's Friday WI next paragraph. Got a birthday luncheon at O'Charlies today for a 80 year old and his name is Charlie.
Todays WI was just terrible! up 3.6 lbs. There's a reason of course. Big lunch yesterday then late supper last night. Did a bad thing last night. DW wanted some comfort food so about 7::30 I went to Wendy's. I'll leave it at one word for me "Disastrous" Well on to another week and 10# Challenge.Everybody have a good week. We're going to have a snow event here in North Georgia Saturday e evening and alkaline day Sunday. So here we go!0 -
Weight Loss/Gain: +2 lbs
Net: -1 lbs0 -
At WW, on Wednesday, up 0.6# from last week's math, but down 1.2# from the WW weight 2 weeks ago.
Today to last week up 0.2#.
Pretty much keeping on. Need to get out to walk more, but if it's below 25 degrees, I dislike going out to walk. Might need to suck it up and do it anyways.0 -
I got on the scale despite saying I was not going to, and was glad to see a 2 pound loss. I weighed only because my post-holiday weight has been all over the place, and I needed to see if things had stabilized. I think they have.
I diligently tracked all week. I have my MFP calories set to lose 1 pound/week. I didn't create a 3500 calorie deficit for the week. It was closer to 2200. But the important thing for me, at the moment, is simply writing it down.
My plan this week is to keep tracking and to make better food choices. This will mainly involve having less junk food. Most of the Xmas treats are now gone.
I don't plan to weigh again for awhile, but time will tell.
