MY CHALLENGE GOAL: lose 30 pounds by July 30th (17 weeks)
highest weight: 330 (7/10/2020)
challenge starting weight: 264.0
challenge goal weight: 234.0
ultimate goal weight: 210-220 (whatever gets me down to 20% body fat)
Mar 31 : 264.0 (starting weight)
Apr 02 : 261.9 : lost 2.1, total loss = 2.1
Apr 09 : 261.2 : lost 0.7, total loss = 2.8
Apr 16 : 265.3 : gained 4.1, total loss = -1.3

(This weight gain is a mystery to me. I was hospitalized Monday until yesterday, during which time my diet went from "no food or drink" Monday evening, to "clear liquid" Wednesday noon, to "full liquid" Thursday morning. I had negligible activity during this time, but still, I'm surprised that I would gain 4 pounds eating so little. I am back now, and hopefully my weight will get back on track soon.)8 -
SW 183.4
4/8 180.8
4/16 179.4
Smaller loss but I'm never going to be mad at nearly a pound and a half loss and I'm so much happier about the choices I made this week. I realy cleaned up my sugar indulgences this week. I wasn't as active as I wanted to be thanks to work but I have a super active weekend planned. A 12 mile hike on Sunday. I could die. It was nice to have met you all. Feeling much happier with myself, ordered bigger shorts, hopefully it ends up being a complete waste of money.8 -
April 2nd 170
April 9th 171
But I'm walked 10,000 steps 5 days and did 2 weights workouts so I'm ignoring the gain
April 16th 169
As a side note, years ago I put 170 down as my goal weight as the 150 I need for a healthy bmi seemed unattainable.

Sorry to hear you were ill! As you know, that gain could be anything related to fluids and a significant change to routine due to the hospitalization, and highly unlikely to actually be related to your body mass. Focus on taking care of yourself and perhaps you will see a big drop next week as your body heals and regulates!7

Sorry you were hospitalized. Maybe your gain is due to medicine and fluid retention. Hope you are feeling much better!5 -
It’s been a very stressful week at work plus closing on buying a new house. Struggled a bit to stick to my meal plan but fortunately I have a freezer full of batch cooked portioned meals which definitely helped when I had no motivation to cook.

Hang in there Frank, you have come a long ways, which means you knows what it takes, you've been through the struggles before on your journey to a healthier life. Stabilize and set the course...All the best sir, we are here for you...6 -
April 16/21 Check In(a day late)
SW 162
GW 140
Last Weight 150.8
Today's Weight 155
Up a few pounds which I anticipated as I haven't been recording or exercising since last Friday pretty much.
Thanks for the input on trying different things with regards to my 'failure' on the portioning of sweets🙄
Sounds like a few of you have had quite the week! (My condolences @WeatherJane)
(Frank I hope you are feeling better)7 -

Just came across this saying, and it seems spot on -- regarding our need to stay committed to our purpose:
“Success in never owned, it is rented, and the rent is do every day” – Author Unknown8 -
I took my 84 year old mother out for her birthday lunch yesterday. She was noticeably slimmer and I asked her about it. She said, " I eat what I want but I just started controlling my portion size." She has lost 20 lbs in a few months. She does walk but really, not a lot. So I am here to tell you that no matter what your age, you CAN lose weight if you just eat mindfully! I am very inspired by her and really going to focus on HOW much I eat and not so much on WHAT.11

I bought a bridesmaid dress on Feb 14, 2020 for a wedding that was supposed to be August 2020. I was about 250 then. Since, covid hit, i gained 35 lbs, and the wedding was postponed until August of this year. I need to get back to at least 250 before August so I can wear the dress I already paid for!11 -

Ok. Gained a little. I just made a graph in a notebook for 10 pounds weigh lost by May 9 if possible. I made a grocery list; I found two recipes I can make today for the week.

It has been really helpful to know this check in is on the horizon, keeps me on track. So thank you!
I’m really pleased with this week’s progress as I was out of town for several days and was surrounded by a lot of temptation. I treated myself a couple of times but also upped my exercise a bit and didn’t go crazy. So happy to know I can do this!10
