Thanks! I have a daily meal plan that I can follow for a long time, if there is not a lot of distraction. As long as I fall back on that plan, I can manage my weight and feel good. Not losing as much as I had hoped for this challenge, but still - on average - going down despite many distractions (stress, social events,…

@xzombie4ux Looks like a nice program. For me 30 minutes/day is hard to fit in my day. I like the 7Minutes workout app: routines that take 7 minutes. You could do multiple different routines, dependent on time/flexibilty. There many apps out there, I like the one just called “Seven”, with nice instructions. Good luck!

My weekly update: Goal: 89.9 kg by Chistmas Week 0 (August 7): 97.9 kg (start weight) Week 1 (August 14): 97.2 kg (lost 0.7 kg this first week; still 7.3 kg to go within 19 weeks: 0.38 kg/week) That was a good first week. Losing 0.7 kg in a week is always nice. Did struggle a lot with late evening hungryness though, need…

And here we go, my first weekly update withstart weight. I do average of whole week (7 days) Ik have set my goal on 89.9 kg by Christmas. Week 0 (August 7): 97.9 kg (8.0 kg to to achieve goal within 20 weeks: 0.4 kg/week) Not a bad start! Three weeks of Summer vacation did not make me gain a lot, I had a good first week,…

@Lessennan Sorry to hear you didn't have a good start. But there is plenty of time, there's a new start every week. Did you make a plan for your activities for the coming week? And have you considered not buying candy, but healthy snacks instead, so it is impossible to binge on unhealthy things? @xzombie4ux, Valentine,…

So how is everybody doing? All started and underway? For me day 4 after starting to log food and weigh in every day. And apart from some hungry feelings that I easily tackle within my budget I’m doing fine. Also getting my sleep and activities in 😀. So: four days down, only four plus months to go 💪😂

My August 1st weight is 98.1 kg. Now that's a start! I'll be reporting weekly averages from now on, but at least I now know it will not be > 100 kg which I feared. Good luck to you all!

Thanks, @poodiebeer for explaining! Shall we then just post past and current updates and not future empty lines? It will be easier to track each other and support if you don't have to scroll to pages of empty lines, especially in the first weeks!

Great planning @Lessennan! And don’ be woried about what the scale will do: if it doesn’t play ball this week, it will confess next week. Just stick to your plan! I will start weighing tomorow and stick to my calorie-budget, for which I have an menu and dis some geoceries today. Let’s go! 😀

@poodiebeer Great overview and preparation! Just so I understand how this works (only my second challenge here): can you actually edit this same post every week? So everybody has one post that updates every week? I saw other threads where everybody kept copying these lengthy posts each week, so it took al lot of time…

@mummermike8 Thanks for joining and sharing. I always admire single parents! It is such a challenge to raise a child, I would not know how to do it on my own. So kudos to you for that! And having to do that all on your own must really be a struggle, hopefully we can support you (a little). When it comes to maintaining…

@Lessennan Thanks for your excellent question "Have you made a plan so have something to work from to get in the relaxation, exercise, sleep you need?" That will exactly be my challenge! I have an eating pattern that fits within my budget and have no problem of sticking to it unless... I get stressed and do not get enough…

My first update will be here on Sunday August 7th. Then I will also set my goal for Christmas. I weigh in daily and report weekly averages in kilo's. I started MFP in September 2021 with a first average of 95.0 kg And this is what my updates will look like: “And here's my weekly update. I do average of whole week (7 days):…

Hi! My name is Simon and I am from the Netherlands. I've been yoyo-ing up and down in weight for years and want to get in shape in the coming months: reduce stress, loose weight and get more physically active. I like walking with my wife and kids, I have a spinning bike in my house and I'm a wannabe golfer. I work in…

OK, here we go towards Summer Holiday. Very hectic last 6 months: lost some weight during first challenge but lost it and barely maintained weight during fall and winter. Now motivated to get in shape for the Summer of 2022: STARTING WEIGHT: 95 KG (first MFP challenge September 2021) STARTING WEIGHT FOR THIS CHALLENGE:…
