Squad Goals: An /r/reddevils Challenge! (self.reddevils)

Pedantic_PatFan Favourite David De Gea が 投稿 - announcement

Introducing Squad Goals, an /r/reddevils challenge!

What's this?

I've noticed that a lot of us like to share our achievements in the Free Talk Friday threads, and people here are very kind and encouraging to each other. But what about challenges you aren't doing well with/can't seem to start? Why not marry this challenge that you may have been inconsistent with, with the one thing you are doing all the time (I know I am), refreshing /r/reddevils?

The general idea is that people post their goals for the 'season', and others join in/help out etc. and we see how well people have done by the end of the season (May). Starting from the beginning of August, 10 months is a nice amount of time to lose weight/get back into a sport/learn a language/ get a new career/ marry Rachel Riley etc.

In this thread, comment something you want to learn/achieve/improve on. Somebody who has the same kind of goal, or already doing something similar, or with experience in this area replies. You guys buddy up in your progress, encouraging each other, or if someone has done the thing you are attempting, they help out in whatever way they can.

Example

/u/randomusername comments "Looking to lose 15kg for my wedding next March"

People who also want to lose weight would reply, sharing their goals/timelines etc. Someone who has maybe done something similar might share their experience and give advice.

Example 2:

/u/randomusername2 comments "Want to get back playing football"

People could give tips or might need someone to fill a spot in a five-a-side game.

There's no need to give away any personal details whatsoever, RES tagging or PMing would be plenty. You could give updates in the Free Talk Friday threads. There won't be any clogging up of /new with this one.

Even if you don't want to engage in interacting with other people as the season progresses, it might be nice to post your goal and at the end of the season see how you did.

This could be laughed off as a joke, or some awesome people could come together and help each other out. Let's give it a go!

Weight Loss

Currently sitting at 91.5 kg, want to get that down to 80kg by end of May, lose the belly and get some more fitness. Am coaching some football teams and would like to join in more/set a better example

Neat. Is your main exercise going to come from your coaching or something else?

Calories are what count when trying to lose or gain weight.

Been doing CICO since mid April and lost 51lbs (just over 23kg) so far. My Fitness Pal is a God send for when you're first starting out, but you learn to judge foods yourself when you get a feel for it and that knowledge will help to maintain when you reach your goal. Good luck!

I'll jump in so! I have a few questions that might help me better understand your situation :)

A) How tall are you?

B) Activity/exercise - How active a lifestyle do you have? Are you constantly moving or do you sit at a desk all day? Do you drive to work or cycle? Then in terms of actual exercise, how much would you do in a week, football, gym, jogging whatever the case may be.

C) What's your diet like? Do you find you eat pretty well or do you think you take on a lot of sugar?

Good idea if it takes off, trumps to you!

Awesome. I'll kick this off with saying I really want to learn Italian.

I've just started on Duolingo...

Going for 10% fluency by Xmas.

I want to start working out more and going to the gym. I have weights and what not at home but I'm lazy, I make excuses for myself after I get home from work for why I can't or don't do it. I weigh 60 kg and my goal weight is 75 kg which I'd love to reach by mid next year.

I'll be using the Gym to try to get my weight going in the opposite direction lol good luck

Same here : Weight Loss. I'd like to be closer to 70 than how I am edging to 90, like I am at the moment. It's more laziness than anything and I'm looking to get over that, by going running along with using a proven diet/cardio/weights regimen and sticking to it to reach my goal. Hopefully I'll be able to follow through since I've put it out here. Fingers crossed and hopefully the team will inspire me as much as I pin my weekend moods on them. 👍.
