  • Getting back on track after the long weekend. Cycled for 73min. and toying with the idea of IF to interrupt evening snacking while cleaning up leftovers and packing lunches.
  • Check-in for the long weekend - took my first pass as I haven't been eating well. I'm an emotional eater and the past few days have been crazy. Thankfully I was able to hike and cycle a bunch, even while hosting a house guest.
  • September 3rd Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes: 72min. of cycling and 60min. of cleaning Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes: 1200 goal + 388 exercise - 1568 eaten = 20 left over Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes: I had nachos for dinner and don't like how many of my exercise…
  • September 2st Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes: 260min. of cycling Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes: 1200 goal + 778 exercise - 1307 eaten = 671 left over Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes: made some delicious mashed cauliflower which felt very indulgent without the guilt!
  • September 1st Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes: 71min. of cycling Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes: 1200 goal + 221 exercise - 1253 eaten = 168 left over Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes: even the piece of cheese I ate while packing my husband's lunch I plan on signing-in…
  • Let's do this! My team sports (indoor and now outdoor soccer) has been canceled canceled due to COVID-19. I'm sure we'll both find creative ways to stay active each day.
  • We're the same height, have the same goal weights and possible adjustments in mind! Best of luck to you.
  • Thank you for the words of encouragement and suggetion! I eat mostly home cooked meals, prepared with fresh, whole ingredients. My issue is portion control and a once a week binge on takeout. But, no more excuses! A healthy adult can plan the occasional take out dinner into their lifestyle. 2lbs loss/month maybe realistic…
  • Hello everyone! Since the New Year, I’ve gained back 20lbs after losing 52lbs in year putting me back in the overweight category so I need this challenge to hold myself accountable. I love exercising, especially outdoors (hiking, soccer, kayaking, swimming, walking, snowboarding, snowshoeing, etc.). I also enjoy cooking…

  • A bit late but I'd love to join this group for additional accountability. My lowest recent weight was 136lbs and my goal is 120lbs (I'm short). I weighed in this morning to a heart breaking 140lbs which teeters me back toward overweight. 4lbs may not seem like a big deal to some but I've lost over 50lbs and don't want to…
  • I lost 52lbs between October of 2018 and October of 2019 squeaking me into a healthy BMI range. Since then I’ve essentially been in maintenance mode however, I’d like to continue to lose weight and tone up. To do this, I need to consistently meet my daily calorie goal (rather than two treat days and playing catch-up the…
  • Congratulations on your progress! You can add your own "belly" measurement to check-ins from the website. On the Check-In tab under My Home, scroll to the bottom of the page and select "Track Additional Measurements." From there you can customize to your heart's content. Best of luck!
  • Ultimate Starting Weight: 190 Challenge Starting Weight: 139 Goal by Valentine's Day: 134 January 7: 138.8 Well this is frustrating because I've been working out a lot more. :/ But, a loss is a loss so I'll take it. January 14: 137.8 Predictable loss this week based on food and exercise, still working my way back from the…
  • Your progress is incredible, well done! We're the same height and starting weight. I'm currently at 139 but struggle to see my own progress. It's so much easier to see it in others. You look so much happier in the second picture!

  • I plan on a morning and afternoon snack through the workweek. Basically any "whole food" which is easy to pack and eat on the go. These have been some of my go to snacks - Fruits: gala apple, Bartlet pear, clementine, banana, red grapes Vegetables: snap peas, green beans, bell pepper slices, snow peas, carrots Higher…

  • I’m always looking for support and accountability buddies. I lost 52lbs in 52 weeks between October of 2018 and 2019 and am now working to keep forward momentum. Feel free to add me!
  • I’m hoping this group is still active and to connect with those who can relate. In the past 9 months I’ve lost >40lbs but have recently plateaued. I work in a correctional facility where there’s little movement throughout the day and healthy food choices are limited.
  • They’re the ones being disrespectful, you and your husband have set a clear boundary. Not only are they choosing to ignore your wishes, they’re berating you about trying to better yourself. I can’t think of a better way to show love than supporting someone as they work on their goals and to become more healthy. You are…
  • At 5’3’’ with a sedentary desk job, MFP set my goal at 1200cal per day. I’ve lost 45lbs so far at about 1lb per week, although there have been several plateaus along the way. I also eat back some of my exercise calories and currently work out 4-6 times per week. Volume eating “whole foods” is how I’ve been successful. In…
  • Like others have said, you don’t have to lift although it has benefits. Adding muscle mass can increase your metabolic rate which means you’ll burn more calories at rest. As someone who hates lifting and is a fan of all things free, I watch/do Pilates and Zumba Strong videos on YouTube. They require no equipment and are…
  • Fantastic progress so far! Please feel free to add me. I’ve been logging consistently since October, have lost 40lbs and have 30 to go. When struggling with PTSD and depression I really didn’t care about myself enough to make any sustainable progress but am now in a much better place. Change is hard and you don’t have to…
  • Looking for more friends to be supportive of and be encouraged by. I’ve logged every day for nearly six months and am down 32lbs. Feel free to add me!
  • Please feel free to add me for support. I've logged every day since mid October and am down 11lbs so far. We don't have to do this alone!
