    Hi, I am new to this and I am wondering if my challenge weight loss goal is supposed to be just for the month of July or for the whole summer? I put 15 pounds down which is for the whole summer. It would be only 5 pounds for the month of July.

    Mary

    Hi @fanncy0626, welcome to this challenge. Great to have you join!

    Your challenge weight loss goal is for the whole summer. So in your case that would probably be 5 pounds a month..

    Hi all! I’m 44 years old, ~ 5'6" (1.67m), work full time, living alone with my dog in the Netherlands. I used to be a competitive (not pro) mountain biker until my mid to late 30s. Over the last 2-3 years I gained about 15 kg (~33 lbs), which is why I joined MFP late February and started tracking my food.

    I've since then lost those 15kg but would like to go all the way back to my ideal weight of 58.5-59 kg. I aimed slightly lower, as in my athlete days I'd go all the way down to 54-55 kg.

    So joining the summer challenge as well. I have a 1/4 marathon (run) planned on 8-Oct-2023, so it would be great to lose that last bit over the summer and get into shape for that race B)

    YOUR CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT FOR THIS CHALLENGE: 71,6kg
    YOUR CHALLENGE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL:70

    Knowing how slow it went these last months, I will try to at least lose 0,5kg or around 1 pound every month. Seriously slooooooow, but that's the way it is when almost at goal. I'd rather lose 3 pounds than stay at the same weight.
