February 2025 New Beginning
Hello, my Friends! I'm no stranger to New Beginnings, which come again and again (each day when I wake up), and I am thankful for it! February 1 today and I'm leaning into Spring. I invite you to weigh daily or weekly and to post the day/weight, how it is going for you, and any tips or tricks you may have discovered for…
Fall 2024
I washed out on the summer challenge but glad to be starting a slightly lower weight for the fall challenge. I am adding Mindful Eating to my weightloss tool kit and think that will help. This challenge is starting today, 9/24/24 and goes until 11/24/24 or something close to that. Think that puts Thanksgiving in the Winter…
Summer 2024
I propose a Summer challenge, starting today, June 27th, ending August 31st. In this group discussion just post your daily weight (Friday or when you start) and write about your goals and why you want to lose weight.

Spring 2024 (March, April, May
I have been off the wagon for a month. I just got diagnosed with cancer this week (early stage uterine, so not the worst) but noticed I've been doing some comfort eating and have decided to challenge myself to record my weight during March, April, May. I do not have the go-for-it to follow a food plan at this point. Join…
Winter 2024 Challenge First Weigh-in January 5, Last Weigh-in February 23rd
A New Year and New Resolve! The first weigh-in for this challenge starts January 5th and the last will be February 23rd. Just record your weight on the 5th (date/weight) and track your food as well, with whatever method or program you choose. No other rules. Choose any food plan that works for you. Scroll down to the…
Short Spring Challenge April 21, 2023 to June 2nd (6 weeks)
I've been having major digestive issues but got scoped and now know I need to really watch what I eat and work with Western medicine and Chinese medicine to return to health. Going to start with weekly acupuncture, taking prescribed meds, and tracking what I eat. Join me in eating mindfulness, weekly weighing, and tracking…
Winter 2023 Challenge
This challenge runs from January 1 until the end of February, about 10 weeks. I like to plan challenges based on the season. My goal for the year is to lose 30 pounds through weighing, tracking food, and two days a week of intermittent fasting (750 calories). I will also do recumbent biking, swimming, and chair yoga and…
Fall 2022 Challenge
This challenge is from 9/26/22 to November 1/18/22. 8 weeks if I counted correctly. I'm going to delve into senior intermittent fasting--a 7-hour window of eating, not eating (fasting) the rest of the time. I'll record my food and strive for healthy whole foods. Join me with whatever food plan and exercise work for you.
Summer Challenge
I've been off the wagon but want to set new goals. Will weigh in tomorrow. This challenge is from June 10th (Friday) Till the 26th of August (Friday). Would like to lose 5 pounds or better in this time frame.

Exercise and Weight Loss Challenges
Hi Guys, now I'm thinking I should have just started a new topic rather than a whole group but here we are. I was going crazy trying to find my senior friends (you) in the senior group we met each other in. Maybe there is a trick but hate the page scrolling to find the most current post. Anyway, wanted to talk to all of…

Please add nutritional info if you can or at least number of servings and number…
For us K-drama fans!
Marney: I think that right now both Pam and I would recommend Oh, My Venus! It is about overweight. Training. Romance. A little mystery. And the two leads have wonderful chemistry. It is 16 episodes (I forget). Here is the page on drama fever and there is a cute trailer. http://www.dramafever.com/drama/4766/Oh_My_Venus/ A…
Links to Articles, Blogs, and Studies!
If you read an interesting article, blog or study share the link here in our library. We can use a wide variety of topics on weight loss, maintenance, fitness, health, getting older, etc. I'll start with a few I have bookmarked:
Healthy Mind as well as a Healthy Body
I'm starting this new thread. In 2014, I started with MFP to lose weight and get healthier. Although I'm not at my goal, I've done pretty well. I continued this in 2015 by resolving to take the stairs more often and will continue to do so. 2016 will be to incorporate strength training more often if it kills me! In 2015, my…
Quotes and Jokes About Food and Dieting
"Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie". ~Jim Davis ;) I could not agree more.
