This looks like fun. How do we use the directions sheet. Do we have to copy it into a word document for ourselves or can we somehow use yours?

Working so much, I completely forgot to add a post!

1/1 - 155.4 pounds Goal weight for challenge - 140 pounds Ultimate Goal - 135 pounds Sadly, my name is not in the spreadsheet!

I love that this is a small group! I have been away from MFP for a few months, but ready to get back. My goal is to get to 140 by the summer. I currently weigh around 154 lb. I am planning to give up processed sugar as a New Year's resolution! I don't eat too much of it, but it always makes me feel sluggish so I think I'll…

Hello-- Thank you for taking this on...I loved the Independence Challenge! Start weight: 149.5 Goal Weight: 138 BMI: 22.4

Congratulations to everyone who participated in this challenge! It's hard to believe that it's come to an end. Like many, I did not meet my goal, but certainly weigh less than I would have if I had not been accountable to posting my weekly progress! A much better week... Start weight: 155.6 Current weight: 150.2 Goal for…

A much better week...

Not such a great week. I am happy that I only gained 0.2 pounds...

Well, it pays off to weigh food and pay closer attention to portion sizes overall! I am happy to have lost 1 pound this week! Start weight: 155.6 Current weight: 152.8 Goal for challenge: 145 4/11: 154.2 (-1.4) 4/18: 155.4 (+1.2) 4/25: 153.8 (-1.6) Unable to weigh in 5/2, 5/9, 5/18 5/23: 154.4 (+0.6) 5/30: 155.4 (+1.0)…

Well, I won't make it to my goal of 140 lb for this challenge, but at least things are now moving in the right direction. I have been much more conscious of portion sizes and of avoiding processed foods and I think it's paying off.

Well, I gained a pound this week. Not what I'd hoped, but am still recovering from my long travelling stint. The good news is that I have re-committed to being extremely accurate about portions sizes and calories. I can tell that I had really let that slip for a while. I am by nature an optimist, so I am happy that I am…

I like that it is a "weird in" too! Ugh, I have been traveling since the end of April, first for work and then a two week vacation in Peru. Machu Picchu is amazing! I never do particularly well trying to limit my calorie intake while traveling and this time was no exception. I am back though, and plan to be more consistent…

Challenge SW: 155.6 CW: 153.8 Challenge Goal: 140 4/11/14: 154.2 (-1.4) 4/18/14: 155.4 (+1.2) 4/25/14: 153.8 (-1.6) Total change: - 1.8 OK, better this week than last. Looking forward to continuing this trend! Hope everyone has a wonderful week.

Friday I did strength training for 60 minutes and then did 45 minutes on the elliptical. I was very proud of myself! Saturday I ran 3 miles for the first time in a couple of months. My low back has been bothering me a lot so I had to take a break from running as that seemed to really be irritating it. I did pretty well,…

Too much work and socializing, not enough exercise and time to eat sensibly. Then I just got lazy and discouraged! OK, time to pick myself up and move on... I hope everyone has a…

Original starting weight: 160 Challenge start weight: 155.6 April 11 weight: 154.2 Total April loss: 1.4 lb Feeling good about everything so far!

I also had a good weekend. It was very relaxing, but I did get some work done. Finished a couple of house projects that have been on my list for some time. Exercised a lot, played tennis, ate well. Spent some time socializing with friends that we don't see very often. Overall, I couldn't ask for more...

I like this thread--a great way to stay honest for the weekend! Should be a fairly mellow weekend as my partner is working. Need to do some work at home myself and have a couple of small house projects to finish up. Friday evening: meeting another couple for drinks and tapas at a new trendy bar in town. I'll probably stick…

I'd like to join if it's not too late. I lost my mojo about halfway through the last one and need to re-commit!

Hello Everyone! This week has been much better than last, whew. We just got a bunch of new snow overnight and I am considering stripping on my snowshoes and going for a hike!

I agree that when I log in my meals ahead of time, it makes it much easier to stay within my goal for the day. We tend not to be super organized and often end up asking each other, "so what do you want to do for dinner?" at around 4PM. I am trying to create menus for a week at a time this month. We'll see how that goes.…
