Starting weight: 239 lbs 1/2/17
Goal weight: 209 lbs by 6/15
Current weight: 217.6
weight loss to date: 21.4
Weight loss method: low fat, low sugar, low calorie, logging everything I eat.... and TRYING to lay off the alcohol.
Been on a bit of a downward spiral lately, but I'm trying to get back on track! I was doing well this week, but a weekend of drinking and eating delicious food messed me up, so I'm back at it today!
One thing that I started doing is walking a bit more. I actually tried running, and that last two whole days before my feet rebelled and decided I needed something low impact. So I started doing a walking video with some of my girlfriends at work. The video is only 15 minutes of marching in place, with some kicks and knee lifts mixed in. The video is supposed to be equivalent to walking a mile. I do it on my morning and afternoon breaks at work, and then I've also been doing it at home with my kids. So far, so good!
Here's the you tube link if anyone would like to try it!

Back in the losing column for this week. Clean eating was the key to success this week. However, this past weekend included three days working out of the house and a Saturday night dinner party. So I’ll have to tighten up my discipline for the rest of the week to stay with a losing trend.

What has helped me is making my own lunch and breakfast and I switch it up to make it less boring. Today I had an organic protein shake for breakfast and for lunch I had egg whites, chicken sausage and wheat toast with almond butter and a little honey. I also let the cook know in the cafeteria at work and he helps me stay on track. I make a warm drink of acv honey and lemon and filtered water when I wake up and before I go to bed. I actually did 2 workouts today! My weight is pretty stubborn but I am most definitely trying :-)1

Challenge Loss: -22.4, 75% of the way there and 7.6 to go!).
This past week's challenge: Traveling husband, a terrible migraine, eating out last weekend since we were out of town for my son's basketball tournament and TOM. This was also the first week since I've started on my fitness/weightloss/lifestyle journey where I missed my protein target for the week, which may explain why I have felt so hungry lately. Working on correcting that! I also had a hard time getting my workouts in, but I did get in two solid workouts and had some very active days.
This past week's successes: I certainly didn't eat perfectly, but I logged 99% of everything. I have been better taking my vitamins, but just need to make sure that I take them every.single.day.
My upcoming week: My husband is still out of town. Story of my life. I am still really tired and haven't worked out as much as I would like. I don't think I'm sleeping well. I need to examine my sleep habits and get this straightened out. I'm tempted to by a newer Fitbit for this reason. I have a Fitbit One, and while it is very accurate in terms of steps, I think I may benefit from better sleep monitoring.2 -

I did a one day cleansing fast to get back on track after a chaotic weekend. I have a birthday party to attend Saturday but I think I can eat clean (Paleo) for the rest of the week. I’m really liking Paleo and can feel the difference when I don’t eat clean. However, I’m not going to beat myself up on the few occasions I jump off the wagon for things like birthday parties or enjoying a dinner with Non-Paleo (normal) friends.

OK Hoopmama bets on if you want. How about 2 pounds a week for the next 5 weeks? I currently weigh 175 so that would put me at 165 by 6 May. You would have to be 170 by then. If you accept my challenge, whoever wins would have bragging rights for this group for the rest of May. What say you

Just join in, but we have 10 weeks left. Why not try to lose 10 pounds total for the remainder of the challenge, I do not know how much weight you have to lose, but 3 pounds per week average is generally not advised. I say join, set a reasonable goal, and strive to meet that goal in a healthy and sustainable way. The ultimate goal is really to make a lifestyle change that you can live with for the rest of your life. I hope this didn't come off the wrong way - I'm just afraid that three pounds per week is not sustainable and/or possible and would lead to frustration with the process.0 -

Challenge Loss: -23.6, 79% of the way there and 6.4 to go!). I am getting so close to 30 pounds and excited that I will exceed my goal weight for 6/15.
This past week's challenge: No lifting! Need to get back to the gym!
This past week's successes: Still weighing and logging everything. Met my protein and fiber goals for the week (137g protein average per day and 31.5g of fiber per day average). Two very active days while substitute teaching PE (loved it!) and two quick kettlebell workouts in. I joined the 10,000 steps a day challenge for April to keep my daily activity levels up. I am also focusing more intently on my sleep habits.
My upcoming week: Going to my in-laws for a five days. Eating and getting in workouts are going to be a challenge. I will have the time, but I may need to focus on walking/jogging (they at least have a treadmill) and body weight workouts. I'm hoping to bring a kettlebell or two along. At the very least I'll bring some exercise bands and my TRX with. They live out in the country, but there is a gym about 20-25 minutes away that I'm going to try to get to once or twice to lift, especially if I can't have any kettlebells with me. Eating is going to be the hardest, since I don't know what what my mother-in-law will be putting in the food and it's a lot of old style country cooking (delicious, but not good for you). Next week's results are going to be interesting......2 -
Hi all! I just hit my first 50# loss today, pretty happy! I would like to join the challenge. I'm not sure how to participate. But I keep my page updated, and would be happy to connect with any other challengers!3
-
I know I am a little late to this challenge but I start back at the gym this Friday. I will update my stats when I get home and take them. My focus at the gym will be weight lifting so I may change my goal from being pounds lost to bodyfat % and waist measurements. I am also starting a HIIT program at the gym starting April 12th that will run through to June 7th and I believe that they will take my starting and ending fat % so that should help with accuracy. I just have one of those handheld devises at home and I am not sure how well that works.
I am excited to start! Sadly, I think I have said that about a million times. This time, I am going to finish it!! 2 -
Adding walking to my daily routine combined with discipline at the table contributed to a 2.2 pound loss this week. I’m confident I can keep it up at home. However, next week I’m leaving town and will be away from home for most of the week. Life gets in the way sometimes. I’ll deal with it!
