I have 100 pounds to lose as of today. I originally started at 295 and today I weighed in at 260.6. My goal weight is 160. I realize that my goal weight may change, but right now that is the goal. With 100 left to lose, I know the more personal accountability the better. This challenge is my way to keep myself motivated and determined. Join me if you like. Even if it’s not 100 pounds that you have to lose.

I'm in. I need this. Trying to loose a 100lbs myself. Starting weight was 248 and I'm down to 229.8. Focusing on one day at a time and adopting a healthy lifestyle. Beef seems to sit on me as well so I stick to seafood,chicken and turkey.
Beginning of challenge 260.6
Cw : 254.1
Added protein powder to my routine. Orgain organic. It’s plant based... did some YouTube research of the product. I basically use it for breakfast. Everything is going good. My daughter has a baby shower this Saturday and the goal was to be 255 by that date... and I already made that. Hope everyone is doing good.
CW: 253.7
I have been doing good the last few weeks. Going pretty strong. I hope everyone is doing good. Y’all feel free to add me on here.
Cw 253.3. Not much of a loss since I last commented.... but hopefully it will be moving in the right direction now.
It was very typical for me to go 3 weeks between scale drops. You lose weight everyday you are in a deficit but the bathroom scale won't show fat loss if you are upticked because of a normal body weight fluctuation. Most often this is water retention.

The fact that you ate unlogged for a couple of days and your weight loss caught up is either coincidence or you relieved some stress that dropped your cortisol levels which resulted in a drop in water retention.
I saw you toying with the idea of moving to plant based. Remember that a large amount of weight loss requires ease and sustainability. If PB is easier that is fine. If it is something you read about that you think you should do for your health I would reconsider. Weight loss is healthy all by itself. I have lost over 250 pounds and I ate as normally as I could for as long as I could. My health and my life have dramatically improved.
I have also been plateau-Ing for the last three weeks. Hoping to break that cycle soon. Really watching what goes in this next week. Good luck
I weigh in officially every Tuesday... but step on the scale almost everyday to hold myself accountable. You can weigh in on whatever day you would like. And feel free to lean on us for support. Good luck.
How's everyone else doing today?
