Weight Loss Challenge Thread

[Heart]

gD Biggest Loser (Healthy Living Weight Loss Challenge)

This thread will be using calorie counting- I recommend using MyFitnessPal to set your calorie goal.

Note: As most of my threads; you are responsible for your own tracking and discipline. This thread is in place to help with accountability and having buddies to make the journey with you.

Goal: Reach 100 points by Thursday September 6th 2018. This challene is from August 8th to September 6th. If the thread goes well, I'll make another one for next month.

Risk: The amount of points under 100 will be very hard hits to your front thighs. You may choose the implement you choose.

Reward: I'll make pretty certificates for those who make it to 100 points in the 30 days!

-I apologize for my American news you'll need to convert for non American terms.



How To Earn Points

+ 1 point per every 10,000 steps walked per day.
+1 point for every 64oz of water you drink a day. (Must be just water no coffee or crystal light)
+ 1 point for every lb lost at the end of the 30 days.
+1 point for every 30 mins exercise you perform.
+1 point for 7+ hours of sleep.
+1 point every day you stay within your calorie goal.

How To Lose Points
- 1 for 2 days in a row without exercise.
-1 for each day you overeat
-1 for every week you don't post an update.

This is a nice thread, I was only thinking to resume my fitness routine after having neglected it for months due to being busy/stressed. I have used google fit and will use that to track steps or fitness activities, however for nutrition I use an excel sheet I made. For privacy I will not be able to post all the fitness/food/weight related calorie tracking but will surely update with honest reports on points I earned in which categories. If that's acceptable I would like to join your thread. I like how you have incorporated sleep and water intake, they are crucial.

Absolutely, the threat is designed hopefully so people can join and adjust to make it work for them! I will be posting points earned as well but not detailed reports of what I ate.

Awesome! I didn't know how the thread would go but I'm super excitied to get healthy with gD people.

Maybe I should join as well. I neglected workouts for 2 months and regained the 3kg I lost. (Total goal I want to lose is 6 kg, but that's not easy).

Regarding calorie goals, if anybody has good and sound advice please let me know.
(For reference, I weigh 75kg atm with a 176cm height and a fat percentage of 21.5%, my goal is to get back to under 70kg, which should me bring towards 15% fat).

I'd love to join! I'm already about to post on my blog some weight loss rules/punishments, and am going to do a challenge with another user, so this should be fun extra motivation! Is this going to be reported through myfitnesspal, or is it just an end of the month record the process here? Because I don't use myfitnesspal, I use a different app/system!

I'm in... I'm doing this because I want to tone up a little more, because I could drink more water, because this will help me be more focused on it all, and it will motivate my roommate also... I could also use more sleep - I usually can function decently on less than average sleep and it's usually broken up in two parts, not straight through (usually, not all the time). I don't see it being a problem for me trying to adjust to one way more. When I drink more water, and if I drink less coffee also, it should make me sleepier until I get used to it and no longer am. And that's beneficial anyway... Plus, I could use the endorphins, lol

I'm going to have to work a little harder to get to a hundred, because I don't have a scale and don't really feel I need to buy one, so I'll miss out on those points. Besides, it's somewhat easy for me to gain more muscle than I want, and muscle weighs more...

I'll still track my caloric goals, and plug in what I eat and make sure I won't go over (30 pts), points per every 64 oz. of water (30+), 7 hours sleep (30), 10,000 steps (tbd), exercise per 30 min. exercise (every other day to not lose any points & gain one point instead is (15+) = 105 or more, and posting updates once a week, then add to that however many times I walk 10,000 steps.
100 sounds possible...

I have two exercise machines at home (A Total Gym, another full body workout machine that's somewhat different, and also a bicycle machine, so that's three. I don't have a tread mill at the moment, so I'll have to collect my steps the old-fashioned way. It would be easier with one though )

Regular and heavier dumbells, hacky sack, jogging, sit ups, push-ups, and those three exercise machines, plus walking...

(Jump rope, treadmill, punching bag/speed bag, and sparring maybe in the future, but maybe not for most of this thread's timeframe)

I'll try my best.
Anyway, it will be helpful and I'll be that much healthier at the end of it.

I'll download the MyFitnessPal app and set my calorie goal as you've mentioned and have it ready for when you start on Wednesday.

Thanks IHeartFun.
