Welcome to our new members!

If you are new and want to join in, by all means, please do - we love to celebrate those losses with you! This is the standard format we try to use for these threads:

Name: (if you'd like to share)

My Numbers:
SW: Starting weight before you lost anything.
CW: Current weight at the beginning of the challenge.
GW: Goal weight for the month (what you would like to weigh at the end of the monthly challenge) Try to keep it realistic and SAFE!
LTGW: Lifetime goal weight ( What you would like to weigh at the end of your weight loss journey)

Weigh-ins: What days you will weigh-in; for example, Fridays
4/7/23 = (Fill out after each weigh-in.)
4/14/23
4/21/23
4/28/23 (final weigh in for the month)
Total WL/G for the month= total weight lost or gained for the month

It was also suggested that we could track our measurements at the beginning of each month to see how we do there, so feel free to add those too this month!

Let's get it!😎🌞🌈💥

    Last month was a bit of a *kitten* and I didn't log anything. I'm up 5lbs from March. Big well done to you folks that logged for April and I'm happy to be back <3

    I was 280lbs March 8th, I'm 237.8lbs today. My best advice is read The Obesity Code by Jason Fung. Most if the info from the book is available for free on YouTube,just look up Dr.Fung Obesity Code. No more counting calories or macros.

    March 8th: 280
    March 13: 265
    April 1st: 248.6
    May 1st: 241.6
    May 4th: 237.8

    Almost 50lbs since starting intermittent fasting in mid March. No counting calories, weighing foods or counting macros. I haven't even incorporated exercising yet. Look up dr.fung 😉
