Spring Through Summer Challenge 2019

@deepwoodslady, Donna, I take 1 TBS of organic ACV in 16ozs water first thing each morning. I've been doing that for over 30 years. I can't remember why I started drinking it, but I was eating low carb. I would suggest drinking it before you eat or make it into a salad dressing. Before I started drinking it that's how I used it, but I did have an acidic drink in the morning, lemon juice in water. I've read that taking it at night, an hour before bedtime is beneficial for lowering blood sugar. It's also said to aid in cleansing of the liver, reversing fatty liver disease.

This past fall and winter, I made a warming drink of green tea, acv, cinnamon, ground ginger and cayenne. It did warm me up and seemed to help break up sinus mucus.

@tiabirdie56 Thanks for the info. I used to drink warm lemon water in the morn & somehow drifted off it. I think maybe I can drink some ACV in the morn for gut health & perhaps with carby meals to offset blood sugar. Even a little at night too. I only use Dr. Bragg's which, thankfully, is available at my local grocery store.

Challenge Starting Weight ~209.2#
Challenge Goal Weight ~ 196.2#

3/20/19-goal of 210# reached (2nd time getting to 210#).

March 22, 2019 ~209.2#
3/29/19= 209#. It was a bad couple of days to end my week. Still down 0.2#. I'll take it!

April 5, 2019=205.6#. Down 3.4#.
4/12 204.2#. Down 1.4#.
04/13/19 202.6#. I see a new future of new low weights! I was 201.3# on 6/21/13 when I started MFP. I am 1.3# away from that number. I am very excited! It has been too long that I have been under 200#. I had always sworn that I would NEVER be over 200# and that I would starve myself if needed. Well a new scale was bought and immediately I was 205#. That was around 16 years ago that I first saw that big number. Little did I know that I would see a pregnancy weight of 264# or my heaviest non pregnancy weight of 236.8#. I am feeling so much better! God has truly answered my prayers and has motivated me to do something about my weight. Over a year ago I was blessed with food allergies. But I have now realized how much better I can feel when I am eating right and not eating all the processed I used to be eating. I hope eventually I will learn to like cooking, I look forward to that day. But so far, I have made changes I can live with. I plan to keep this up after Lent also. I haven't felt this good for YEARS!
4/19/19 203.6# down 0.6#. Not down as far as I would have liked, but my last 2 days have been terrible.
4/26/19 204.4# up 0.8#.
5/3/19 205.2# up 0.8#.

With all of the holidays and vacations I bounced around the same 10 pounds. My lowest was 148 something and my highest was 157 something. So a new challenge and a new start! My second oldest will be graduating in May and its also my anniversary month so I want to be well in the 140's and hopefully below 145!

5/6 - 179 - Trying to just satisfy what my body wants right now, within reason. An increase in carbs, wrong type though.

5/07 - 178.8 - Another day of increased carbs, but bringing it back down. I don't feel that urgency to eat now.

tiabirdie56

@deepwoodslady, 😂LOL at no flat butt Donna. I said the same about myself to my Niece. I gained an inch through the hips, because of the exercises. I'm happy about that, proof that those muscles are toning up!

It was a great week for me- I lost all the water weight I "gained" last week after a weekend away and eating Chinese Food the night before weigh in. I kept up with my workouts and even made the best choices possible while at a conference this weekend. Thankfully I am home all weekend coming up and will be celebrating my beautiful momma, and the one who made me a mom (angel baby, but he still made me a mom). Hope everyone has an awesome Mothers Day and a great week.

Hi, my name is Jenn and I am 39. I'm back for another round. The last one was not one of my best ones, only lost 3.5 pounds. With all of the holidays and vacations I bounced around the same 10 pounds. My lowest was 148 something and my highest was 157 something. So a new challenge and a new start! My second oldest will be graduating in May and its also my anniversary month so I want to be well in the 140's and hopefully below 145!

Weigh in days will be Friday
