π Welcome all new first timers to this challenge and "Hello again" to those returning for another month, another year, another round. π
I joined back in September of 2021, which was my first month back on MFP. In 9 months, I've lost 40 pounds and use this challenge as motivation to stay on track. It is nice to have a medium-term goal that gets broken down into manageable chunks.
Pick your own goal, check in once per week, and at the very end of the month. Let's keep encouraging each other & staying focused on our individual goals.
You can change the dates to suit you, but try to keep it weekly as it shows off the weekly progress betterπ
Pick how you want to weigh as in lbs kgβs or stones
Feel free to copy & paste the chart:
August Start Weight:
August Goal Weight:
Ultimate Goal Weight:
August 1:
August 8:
August 15:
August 22:
August 28:
August 31:
For those unsure how to do your weekly weight input:
When you want to do your weekly update do a search for your original post, copy and paste as a new post in the add post box then you can edit in your new weekly weight. A lot of people also maintain their post in a notes application on their device and just cut and paste into a new post.
Itβs not a race go at your on pace, imagine where you could be in 6 months time!π
Best of luck to everyone - have fun! ππ

August includes a family vacation for me, so I'm going to have a higher goal weight than I would've otherwise gone for. Hoping for a net zero week (maintaining) from that once travel water weight drops off.

Long vacation at the end of July put me outside of my maintenance range.
Today is my first day back on the scale so I'm sure most of what I'm seeing is water retention.
Looking to get back into and end the month in my maintenance range.3 -

I'm guessing that you're in maintenance. How long have you been maintaining? It's something I haven't been able to do once I reach goal. This time (the 3rd time losing) will be different. I'm going to learn how and make it stick. I have a long way to go before I get there but I can use any advice you have... thanks.

New to this Challenge and back again (re-start with MFP). Been on the weight loss journey soooooo very long. Currently seeing a doctor and on meds for several medical issues related to my weight. In the past year I have lost about 30lbs but seemed to have hit a plateau. Hoping to amp it up with a challenge and tracking to really look at what foods I am putting into my body and keep myself accountable.
