Goal: 60 minutes May 9: 3.5 minutes mixed planks Total: 22 minutes!

Saturday weigh in May starting weight (last week): 317 May 9: 311.6 I’m learning (or relearning) some lessons about weight management. I have a tendency to eat extra at meal times or eat extra meals in the evening. But I’m also quite capable at eating lots of snacks. Anything to satisfy a craving! But this week I got on…

Friday has been a bit rough. I had a bunch of snacks and just barely convinced myself to do my plank workout (but I diiiid do them). Then at dinner time I was planning to have a small portion but I had something more like a slightly larger than normal portion. Calories aren’t too far over my goal thankfully (about 20% over…

Nice! I’m not sure if be able to do that. Usually by evening I’ve used up all my self control for the day. For me: May 7: 3 minutes of mixed planks Total for month: 15 minutes At this rate I could do more than 60 minutes in the month, but I just know I’ll miss some days so I’m sticking with 2-3 minutes per day and we’ll…

Great job on your walks! Keep pressing for the cardio workout too! I know I would be proud to have accomplished 30 minutes or 2k of walking, and you’ve done so much more! Maybe I should start walking. Anyway here’s a bit of a check in for me (although my weigh in day is Saturday). Today the scale reads 310.2. That’s a big…

Same! I’ve been surprised at how much improvement just a few days has given me. Anyway: May 6: I did another 3 minutes of mixed planks Total: 12 minutes!

Well done! I’m looking forward to joining you!

Hi folks, I’ve got about 90 lbs to lose. So I’m in! My name is Josh. I live in central PA, USA. My long term goals are to get down to a target weight of what I was in college (220 or so). Right now I’m a little below my highest weight (in 2018 I hit 340) at current weight of 312. I joined a gym in 2018 and was on a bit of…

Just start posting! It’s a casual challenge so you can jump in any time you want and set your own goal if the 60 minutes a month isn’t what you want to do. I just joined and I’m doing the 60 minutes. Today is my 3rd day in the challenge and here’s my update! May 5: 3 minutes mixed planks Total to date for May: 9 minutes…

Goals for today (could use some extra motivation): Do 2.5 or 3 minutes of planks Stay under calorie goal Do an exercise walk Tend the garden Drink 2 quarts of water

Oh I definitely can’t hold a plank for 3 minutes. I think I did one on my elbows for 45 seconds this morning so that’s about my max. But yes it’s a really good exercise if you don’t have much time.

Thanks Mari. I’ve never been part of a support group before so this is nice. I just wanted to post this here too: I’ve been doing the May 60 minute plank challenge that someone else posted over in the challenge section and so far I’ve done 3 minutes of planking yesterday and just finished 3 more. To avoid overeating when…

Goal: 60 May 4: 3 minutes mixed planks Total: 6 minutes

Happy to be here!

It just occurred to me that I rarely eat after brushing my teeth because I hate to get the teeth dirty again. So... how about brushing teeth after dinner? True true... although my biggest problem is eating more of the dinner than anything. I do like sweet drinks too though, that could be an area for me to work on.

Hi folks, My name is Josh. I live in central PA, USA. My long term goals are to get down to a target weight around where I was when I graduated college (230 or so). Right now I’m a little below my highest weight (in 2018 I hit 340) at current weight of 317. I joined a gym in 2018 and was on a bit of a roll swimming and…

Yep I’m with you. What are some tips you guys use to combat this?

Ok folks I did today’s planks. Might not be a big deal but it’s my small accomplishment. May 3: 3 minutes of mixed planks.

I could really use the motivation to do a very quick but meaningful workout. So here I am! Goal: 60 minutes May 1: blissfully unaware that I would be choosing to get on track soon May 2: decided in the evening that it is time to begin. Logged back in to MFP for the first time in ages. Browser a bunch of goals but didn’t…
