Weight Loss Challenge Discussion

@CynthiaInColorado and @markinthepark21 You were talking about doing a weight loss challenge in August. I could afford to lose 10 pounds, so I’m in. How should we make this work?

Perhaps we can open a thread here and post daily updates?

I started a week ago. I will probably lose because I have doubled my exercise since I started using the Supernatural app in VR but I have gained 3ibs. Go figure. :frowning:

If we lose weight then we’re all winners! :grinning:

I did a supernatural workout this morning!

I’m thinking that I will have an epic feast weekend in order to prepare. Is that bad? :rofl:

This is great Mike! And glad to have you joining the efforts!

Now, we need to come up with a hashtag for this. #Minus10? #Losing10? #10LbsofSeperation? lol Any ideas?

Once a week, it’s plenty for the way in. Since we’re starting this on Tuesday, every Tuesday morning would be a good day. Kinda sorta not sure if I’m looking forward to this challenge or not, but definitely know I need to eat much better. It’s easy to get into, a habit of frying everything! I’m not one on cooking veggies, but will eat more fruit.

Maybe we should put more focus on exercising and getting up to move. That may be more inclusive. I think personally for us we could have a goal of losing 10 pounds but we don’t necessarily have to make that everyone’s goal. Thoughts?

For daily updates I was thinking that we could post whatever workouts we’re doing or healthy choices we’re making.

I like this idea better, but how do we show accountability?

Just an idea…Maybe we can have a goal of working out five times a week. We can be accountable by posting our workouts to an ongoing thread.

If anyone is using Supernatural, I wonder if we can add each other and if we do wonder if it shows us where we are?

You should be able to. I haven’t done it before, but my username on quest is mush490.

So what should we do for the challenge?

Well I don’t have a vr but I definitely can stand to lose at least 10 pounds. Can I join in guys and Lord knows I need to get my exercising up. At least I need to start walking every day again I feel like this will hold me accountable since I know y’all from TikTok.

Of course you can join @whalenleia7 , we’d love to have you participate. We’re still trying to figure out how it’s going to work.

The more I think about it, the more I think it should be about getting up and moving. Success could be measured individually. This way too, people can join in at any time. Whatever it is, it starts tomorrow. thoughts? @markinthepark21 @CynthiaInColorado @dhoward71

Here are some hashtag ideas:
#GetUpAndMove
#GetUpAndMoveInAugust
#ActiveAugustChallenge
#AugustFitnessChallenge

I will see if I can add you this morning.

It looks like Mark kicked things off with the 10lb weight loss challenge with a post on IG and TikTok. It’s all good we can roll with that. We can always do a get up and move challenge in September.
