  • Hi, This is a bit harder than I remembered from previous times. I forgot just how many some items in my diet, like a slice of ham to top a lettuce salad, had. I also realized just how sedentary I have gotten. I definitely have areas to focus on, like better pre-planning of what I plan to eat. I will also be more…
  • Hi, I am in! Trying to do this with calorie counting, eliminating food after 8 PM, and walking 5 times a week. I have my next follow-up doctor's appointment the end of October and I want to be at a better weight, <200, when I return. Thanks for having this challenge! Initial Start Weight: 201 (pre-covid) September Start…

  • recover from Covid weight gain. Goal is to get below 200 lbs again before next dr's appointment. Watching calories and limiting eating time to an eight hour window. Keep walking five days a week.
  • Congratulations!! as they used to say, you've now entered "Onederland"! :wink:
  • Hi, today is actually my first day. Fasting between 8PM and 12 PM, eating 12PM to 8PM. I am hopeful.
  • Won't hit the 30 by Christmas, but still in. Spent the weekend in hotels and gained 2.5 lbs. Back at it today. Trying to figure out the baking routine, still enjoy the seasonal treats and not lose too much ground. Happy Holidays!!!
  • My PCP wants to place me on Metforman for a high HgbA1C. I made a deal with her that if I could improve my labs through weight loss and diet, need to get to a HGBA1C less than 6, I can avoid going on meds. We are checking labs on 12/31 and 3/31. Its nice to have a PCP willing to work on a plan with me.
  • Thanks everyone for being part of this challenge. You are an inspiration to me! This is my first time and I can't say enough about how the weekly weigh in has helped me focus and be accountable. I am not sure I will hit the 30 pounds by Christmas as I'm averaging a pound a week. I will be thrilled if I can arrive in…
  • Good morning Starting weight: 224 Current weight: 115.6 Goal weight: 145 Lost a total of 8.4 since the start. I am using my son's weights as targets.

  • Good morning. I really appreciate this group. My overall goal is to weight less than my four sons. They provided me thier weights: #3= 215, #1- 180, #4 175, and #2- 160. (I shared these goals with the boys. Its an accountability thing). Losing 30 pounds will get me under son #3's weight. My NSV is to fit into a smaller…
  • I have the pacer app on my phone and this syncs with MFP. My iwatch syncs its pacer with my phone as well. I don't notice a battery drain.
  • Hoping everyone is having a great weekend!. Weight unchanged from last week, but have been within calories and on the eliptical everyday from friday. That's new for me. I have a NSV of being able to see the veins in my feet. Up to a couple of weeks ago, I had balloon ankles at the end of the day. So some progress. :)
  • I would like to join!
  • One thing I found after being on MFP, is that now one piece of pizza is good enough. There was a time when I could keep up with my husband in the number of slices. I am not sure if it is the foreknowledge of the calorie count or not. But I am full. I agree with the previous comments, as pizza has the carbs, protiens, and…
  • I am trying to follow a low carb diet, so I like the plain Chobani, which has about 9 grams of carbs. I then sprinkle a little sugar free jello to give it some flavor. I sometimes have this for breakfast and it keeps me full until lunch time.
  • Congratulations! I hope to join you soon, I have four pounds to go!
  • Hi, my doctor put me on Atkins about a week and a half ago for cholesteral and weight management. So far with induction, I have lost 4 pounds. I am having a bit of a challenge keeping under the 20 carbs per day. I logged into the Atkins site, but like the food tracker in MFP. For exercise, I am working out with a program…
