    End of Week 1 check in! Hey all. So 7 days in, I have dropped 3 pounds. I have worked our 3 times, 40 minutes each on the Peleton, walked 10,000 steps 6 days and only had 4 beers. Progress, I'd say. Slept really well. So on to week 2!

    Check in if you'd like!

    Hey Slider, I would like to join you on this. I just got started September 5th. I am doing 1900 calorie diet, cardio every other day for 30 mins, and a 3 day strength training routine.

    This week has been very encouraging. I lost 10 lb total. I’ve gone to gym 3 times this week, and two days of cardio. I have been maintaining the 1900 calorie diet with healthy foods. I removed all forms of sugary drinks as well (except for 1 Prosecco Friday) from my diet.

    About the same as you. 10 days in my appetite is more under control. Food choices better. Activity way up, but hit a wall saturday and couldn't finish my work out. Trends are good but have a long way to go. Keep grinding!

    Day 73 here, you’ve got this! Keep up the good work, and keep pushing. Don’t forget to listen to your body and adjust slightly as needed.

    Hello, I saw this thread last week but honestly hesitated to join because I wasn't sure I could do this challenge. But I'm back because I really want to lose 20 pounds! Is it too late to join?

    My situation is not so uncommon. I had knee surgery last December which has slowed me down a bit, and I'm struggling to lose weight by exercise. So I'm using MFP to track my diet instead. Hoping this works! 🤞

    I’m two weeks in and I’m down 20 lbs to 300.3 lbs. It’s been intense. I am maintaining the weight training 3 times a week, and mixing in 30 mins of cardio 2-3 times a week. I’ve also been doing my best to get those 10k steps in daily.
