edited October 2019 in Challenges
This challenge is for people who want to lose 20 kilograms or 50 pounds (I know that they aren't identical but there's something about nice, round numbers).
There is no time limit (some of us don't do too well with deadlines).
Post daily or give a weekly update. Include as much detail as you are comfortable with
Celebrate other people's successes.
Let's make this a 'chatty' rather than dry challenge.

    Friday 11th October today I want to stay at 6,000 kJ. That's all for today. I had lots of salt yesterday, so no weigh in today but yesterday I weighed 88.0 kg.

    Saturday - I ate 6,252 kJ yesterday which is slightly higher than preferred so I want to eat less than 6,000 to bring my average down. Still not weighing myself due to my salty meal 36 hours ago.

    Sunday 88.3 kg, I ate 6,252 again yesterday, same as Friday . Trying to get to 6,000 every day but it's a tad difficult right now

    Thursday 87.2 I ate 6,000 yesterday, I suddenly lost a bit of weight but let's see if it sticks

    Friday 87.0, my loss seems to have stuck. I ate 6,097 kJ yesterday which is slightly higher than preferred. Lowest weight in 37 days.

    I've missed about 10 days here, I think that it's because when I have salty food I pause weigh-ins which causes me to stop posting. My most recent weigh-in was 87.1 kg.

    Recent intake is
    Friday 7520
    Saturday 8895
    Sunday 8502
    Monday 9168
    Tuesday 9694
    Wednesday 6771
    Thursday 8283
    Friday 8019
    Saturday 9661
    Sunday 9110
    Which isn't very good. My 10 day average is 8562 kJ which is roughly maintaining.

    I really want to aim for around 6000, although Monday I expect to be slightly higher.
