Thank you for this challenge!! I would like to do this.

julienestor601

Again thank you for this challenge. It helps to keep the momentum up. I'm 46, been feeling horrible about myself. On January 4 this year, I said I need to stop it. Weighed at 193.4( highest ever). I'm tall 5'10. I felt like a line backer. Currently weigh at 179.8.. yes, finally in 170s👏👏. I'm hoping I can lose 4-5 lbs in the next 10 days. My goal is to lose 10 lbs each month. However, as long as it's creeping slowly down, it's better than going back up. I was always thin. In your forties it's soo much harder. I would like to get down to 150. We shall see. I'm looking for friends too along this journey in the same boat. Let's cheer each other on. We got this😊
Currently trying to exercise more, Get steps in, yoga, intermittent fasting mixed with 310 shakes, and calorie counting.
Goals
