Hey everyone! Starting over because another board to which I belong is weighing in on Mondays and I wanted to be consistent with all in which I participate to keep copying/pasting consistently throughout using the same dates. Please feel free to use Wednesdays or any day you prefer, as long as you hang in there and stay with us!
Okay; here we go. Although my regular weigh-in day is Wednesday, I'm going to follow along with the suggested dates for another board (OCT-NOV-DEC) because it will be easier to weigh in just once per week using the same dates.
All Time Highest Weight: I'm not sure about MFP initial weight, but my highest was 217.0 lbs. on 2/29/2008
Challenge Starting Weight for this Group: 156.0 on Monday, October 7th, 2024
Weight Loss Goal for this Challenge: 12-15 lbs. by 12/30/2024 [Wt. Range: 104-141; "Ideal" Wt. 133]
I will post updates weekly as we go, but will only paste scale stats once below in this post and again with a first/last, side-by-side, before/after progress comparison on 12/30/2024.
10/07/24: 156.0 lbs./Current Loss: 0.0 lbs./Total Loss: 0.0 lbs. Below are my "Day 1" (initial) scale stats:
I found two good links to try to calculate weight loss target dates: (Try it! It's very interesting!):
https://www.fitwatch.com/calculator/weight-loss-target-date OR:
https://www.medindia.net/patients/calculators/weight-loss-calculator.asp
I think if I can keep up my activity and keep my caloric intake to ~1425-1500 I should be able to arrive within my goal weight by the end of this challenge.
We're in the home stretch to 2025 - only 12 weeks from Wednesday, October 9th!
Best wishes everyone, and have a GREAT week!
Carole
I liked the second calculator. It really hit home. Thanks for sharing.0 -
Well not much new to report. I am still at 192lbs. Golfed this week a bit chilly but one of my best games. Back on the treadmill. Counting my calories. Just keep on trying.1

Hello!
I like the second calculator better as well - hope it's more accurate, because I find I have great difficulty eating less than 1,500 calories per day, especially when I'm more active.
About staying the same weight, maintenance is good - it's actually harder than losing (for me, anyway). I can't golf at all, not my mom's father used to golf so much he had his own trophy room! (I didn't inherit the "golfing gene", I guess! π
Have a nice night,

Speaking of 60, once you get to "senior" age, guess what? There is an advantage, such as:
https://www.omnicalculator.com/health/geriatric-bmi
You can weigh more and still be "healthy" because your BMI weight range goes UP!π
Have a nice night,

Hi there, I started my weight loss journey just 4 weeks ago using the app, and just found out about Communities and challenges, happy to join))
I lost 7lbs in past four weeks. Probably won't make it to 20 by Christmas but whatever, as long as it goes down π5 -

@Applushka, Welcome! I'm with you - I just want to see significant progress by the end of this year! (For example, I'd love to lose Seven pounds in for weeks - that's GREAT!π)
Happy Weekend everyone!π2 -

Hi everyone, I'm Melissa. Today is my first day of a fresh restart. With MFPs help, I did manage to lose about 70lbs last year! Unfortunately (and well, fortunately too) I gained most of it back because I got pregnant. I'm very happy with my son but it's been a struggle with my weight. He is now 7 months old and I really really REALLY need to get back in the saddle. All of my amazing progress is gone and I am back to square one.
Some info about me: I am a mom of three (6/3/7 months), stay at home mom military vet (10y in the USAF), I homeschool my oldest and I run a small business (3d printer who spends every free moment I can painting when I am not teaching/cooking/cleaning/chasing after screaming feral kids)
Starting stats:
35yo/6'1"
October 15 Starting weight - 261.4lbs
October 31st Goal weight - 258lbs
Ultimate Goal weight - 180lbs

Congratulations @Melissa6107 on the birth of your son. You sound like one busy lady. Welcome to the group.1

Well I am back at 193 lbs. It is depressing. It is like my body won't budge. Keep exercising something will have to change.2

Carole, so happy I found your challenge; would love to join it. Although I retired five years ago I returned to the workforce a year later, but now work at a Sr Assisted living facility 3 days/week. Wednesdays are the 1st day off of my 4 off so it's I've often considered Wednesday as my Reset / Restart day.
For starters, I have 30 lbs to lose but will focus on 5 at a time. My goal is to feel healthy and energetic once again, while also focusing on improving flexibility, strength and overall fitness. Not ready to be "old" yet.
Wednesday Weigh-Inβs:
Goal Wt: 145
Start Wt ( Sept 25): 174.8
Sept 25: 174.8
Oct 2nd: 175
Oct 9th: 175.8
Oct 14, post Cdn Thanksgiving: 179.2
Oct 16th: 178.8

Happy weekend everybody!
@Bemybestby60, for the ticker, I just went out to the ticker factory website and created our there, then followed the instructions on how to paste it to a board. Here is a link to the site:
https://www.tickerfactory.com/design/WeightLoss/
Hope it works for you! (I have to figure out how to update it now.) I'm afraid I might have gained weight this past week, not I have to wait until my regular weigh in this Monday. We shall see...
Enjoy the weekend!

Thanks @Walela6170
