So much stress last few weeks and I have been sick for 2.5 days from my COVid booster. On a good note I’m feeling better today and actually came on here to check in and say 👋 Hi😊 and see how every one is doing.
One thing being sick this week has done is to reinforce my desire to drop this excess weight, get back exercising and stay HEALTHY.
Happy New Year to everyone

Weight loss has slowed down but that is to be expected. I am trying not to let this discourage me or give up. I would like to still lose 1.2 lbs for this month's challenge, and we have 10 days left in the month so I THINK I can do that. I have not been walking as it is FREEZING cold and windy here.....wind chill 4 degrees here currently. No thanks
I have been dancing inside with light hand weights while watching the 80s or 90s channel. It's fun and takes me down memory lane. The hair, the clothes omg. I ordered a pair of jeans one size smaller and they came yesterday and I and I can get them buttoned but I'd say they are 5 lbs too small. So that is a good mini goal. I want to wear them to my daughter's baby shower in early Feb. 6 -
Hello all! I am going to give this a try. I have been actively watching my CICO for almost 2 years. In the spring I started eating gluten free-ish (about 95%) to help alleviate symptoms from hashimoto's. I started Dec 1, 2019 at 231.0 lbs. I am a 38 year old mom of two who "loves" to run half marathons.
November: 203.4 - 199.8: 3.6 lb loss
December: 199.8 - 197.6 - 2.2 lbs lost
Nov - Dec: 203.4 - 197.6 - 5.8 lbs lost
1/1: 199.0 lbs
1/2: 198.8 lbs - 7 miles ran yesterday then a whole lot of nothing!!! I watched the harry potter 20th anniversary and rewatched a bunch of game of thrones. Good lazy day!
1/3: 197.0 lbs - I was very low calorie yesterday but ate nothing "good" for me. I had a bowl of cereal, half a bag of popcorn, and a turkey cheese rollup. I just wasn't super hungry.
1/4: 197.6 lbs - It is so cold here this week I don't want to do anything except curl up on the couch with my dogs. I ate gluten yesterday and felt horrible all night.
1/5: 197.8 lbs
1/6: 196.8 lbs - Yesterday was another weird eating day. My first meal was at 130 and my dinner was at 6. I guess I am unintentionally intermittent fasting. I am trying to learn to eat when I am hungry. I did try Kraft's gluten free mac and cheese last night for the first time and WOW it tastes just like the original. Happy Thursday all!
1/7: 197.4 lbs - Yesterday was super stressful and I stayed up super late last night watching game of thrones eating popcorn. Hopefully today will be better.
1/8: 196.0 lbs - lowest weight in a year! I am sure I will bounce around more but this is really exciting.
1/9: 197.8 lbs
1/10: 197.0 lbs - pretty caviler with eating out this weekend.
1/11: 198.0 lbs - bowl of cereal after dinner last night.
1/12: 198.2 lbs
1/13: 197.6 lbs
1/14: 197.0 lbs
1/15: 197.6 lbs
1/16:198.6 lbs
1/17: 199.6 lbs
1/18: 196.2 lbs - this is a big drop from yesterday but I did run 8.5 miles. So it will probably jump up a bit tomorrow.
1/19: 197.0 lbs
1/20: 197.8 lbs
1/21: 198.6 lbs - my daughter tested positive for covid this morning. so I stress ate half a bag of doritos. that should definitely help on this health journey....7 -

01/10 140.6 (trend 142.5) Well that -4lbs puts me a lot closer to my goal. Not being as disciplined as I need to be though, tending to eat less and move 'less' rather than move more. I have a terrible habit of laziness which I need to challenge. 21 days to go guys!

Jan 01…..190.0…..(Trend Weight: 191.5)….. Happy New Year everyone. I’ve been slipping, sliding and teetering back and forth since October (just prior to needing cancer-scare breast surgery). I’m ready to stop eating all my emotions and grief and get back on track to the business of health and well-being. I am glad to have ended 2021 over 15 pounds lighter. I am sad that I lost some ground during the last quarter of the year. Recommitting today! Let’s have some fun and do this together, my friends!
Jan 04…..192.6…..(Trend Weight: 191.4)….. I really don’t understand this. It’s crept up the last couple of days and now a huge leap. All the Christmas goodies have been gone. I think maybe I am bloating from milk? I’ve got to get back to drinking my lactose free Fairlife. It usually helps.
Jan 11…..192.6…..(Trend Weight: 192.2)….. Went up higher off & on earlier in the week. Reigning it in. Stove & Fridge is back in kitchen and flooring project done. Now the dining room is being painted but planning meals is much easier. I hope to see some good improvement in the coming week.
Jan 18…..193.8…..(Trend Weight: 193.0)….. Renovations began in livingroom now. Dining room looks very very nice. Livingroom will take at least 1 ½ weeks to complete the biggest portion and then longer for a couple of new small walls going in. I found myself grazing too much lately while the crew was here. However, meal choices were good. No exercise due to space constraints. I’ll have to get creative.
Jan 25…..194.4…..(Trend Weight: 193.6)…..The renovations are creeping along like a snail. The handyman does everything in the slowest way possible. I’m not sure why. He isn’t getting paid by the hour! So I am still extremely restricted in movement as the livingroom gets completed (all but flooring). The worst part should be done in about a week at this pace. Then a couple of small walls will be built and we start over. I am focusing more on diet than exercise due to the limited space and lack of privacy. It is showing on the scale. Movement matters!
Jan 31…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight: xxxxx)…..

1/1: 199.0 lbs
1/2: 198.8 lbs - 7 miles ran yesterday then a whole lot of nothing!!! I watched the harry potter 20th anniversary and rewatched a bunch of game of thrones. Good lazy day!
1/3: 197.0 lbs - I was very low calorie yesterday but ate nothing "good" for me. I had a bowl of cereal, half a bag of popcorn, and a turkey cheese rollup. I just wasn't super hungry.
1/4: 197.6 lbs - It is so cold here this week I don't want to do anything except curl up on the couch with my dogs. I ate gluten yesterday and felt horrible all night.
1/5: 197.8 lbs
1/6: 196.8 lbs - Yesterday was another weird eating day. My first meal was at 130 and my dinner was at 6. I guess I am unintentionally intermittent fasting. I am trying to learn to eat when I am hungry. I did try Kraft's gluten free mac and cheese last night for the first time and WOW it tastes just like the original. Happy Thursday all!
1/7: 197.4 lbs - Yesterday was super stressful and I stayed up super late last night watching game of thrones eating popcorn. Hopefully today will be better.

1/16:198.6 lbs
1/17: 199.6 lbs
1/18: 196.2 lbs - this is a big drop from yesterday but I did run 8.5 miles. So it will probably jump up a bit tomorrow.
1/19: 197.0 lbs
1/20: 197.8 lbs
1/21: 198.6 lbs - my daughter tested positive for covid this morning. so I stress ate half a bag of doritos. that should definitely help on this health journey....
1/25: 196.6 lbs - thanks for all the well wishes for my daughter. she was feeling great the next day. i caught it off her and have been feeling horrible since saturday.
1/26: 196.2 lbs - starting to feel a little better today. I can't do too much without getting really tired. I am worried about my half marathon that is in 5 weeks....8 -
The challenge with having baking as a hobby is that there is that temptation is strong when I bake. I made nusszopf last week, and Swedish cinnamon rolls this week, and it’s been delicious. I was hoping that I would lose an even 10 pounds by the end of January, but I’ll settle for 9. I’ll post a final weight at the end of the month.

Hello all! I am going to give this a try. I have been actively watching my CICO for almost 2 years. In the spring I started eating gluten free-ish (about 95%) to help alleviate symptoms from hashimoto's. I started Dec 1, 2019 at 231.0 lbs.

Won't make the 15 pounds by the end of the month, but happy with the almost 5 pounds down in January. November and December were tough with a big birthday celebration (a full week of social activities), Thanksgiving (with house guests), 10 days of travel and Christmas. My lessons learned are that when I am out of my routine, whether it be exercise or food, that's when I get into trouble. Social events that are centered around food generally gets me off track. BUT! I'm not going to beat myself up for enjoying a dinner out at a nice restaurant. The problem is when those dinner outs (like when traveling) are more than 1 night a week. Will work on strategies for vacation mode for the next round.9 -

Well I didn't get to the 180 or below. Had an uptick to 181.8 lbs but I was true to my calories, carbs, water and exercise so just a normal weight fluctuation. So I lost 30.2 lbs during the 3 month challenge. Which is excellent!
So starting 11/1 at 181.8 lbs with goal of 15 lbs for the 3 months. This 10 lb average / month that has been going on has got to slow down soon, I'm thinking.
Welcome back to past challengers and to the new ones!
64 yo 5' 4" Heaviest Weight twice-255 lbs, got down to 122 lbs 2010 and kept it off 5 years then got lazy.
11/1/21-181.8 lbs
11/7/21-180 lbs! Down 75 lbs.
11/14/21-176.6 lbs! Down 5.2 lbs of my monthly goal of 5 lbs and my 15 lbs for the 3 months. 78.4 lbs lost. About 60% loss of my goal of 133 lbs to lose. Did 223 minutes on my Elliptical today. I wanted to finish the last 10 minutes of the movie and wanted to hit the 16 mile mark!
11/21/21-177.4 lbs-stayed under my allotted calories/water but did eat 400-600 more calories than my usual 1000-1200. Had 1689 but with exercise was allowed 3804. I don't normally eat any of my exercise calories back. I have been losing about 10 lbs/month but expected it to slow down a month or 2 ago. Guess thats what it is doing now.
11/28/21-175 lbs. Down 80 lbs total, 6.8 lbs for November goal of 5 lbs! I did fairly well on Thanksgiving. I did my Elliptical in the morning (216 minutes-15.25 miles) At the 3 pm lunch I only ate meat (turkey, ham & pork) and broccoli and no gravy. (The sides just weren't calling to me to eat/try them, as usual, in the past). Later that night I did have a small piece of a homemade flan (I never had it before and the girl who made it is in pastry school) and someone else brought a pumpkin cheesecake that looked wondrous, from a Farmer's Market bakery, that I had brought home. I had 1,357 calories of my allotted 3,810, for the day.
12/1/21-176.2 lbs
12/5/21-171.8 lbs- Down 4.4 lbs already!
Crossed out of Obese Category into Overweight yesterday. Also wearing size 10 jeans for a couple weeks but tried on a brand new pair of 8's with the tags on yesterday. Zipped them right up easily but my flabby belly hangs out bad over the waistband so abdominal crunches starting!
12/12/21-170.8 lbs- Down 5.4 lbs for December. So met my December goal of 5 lbs. 11 lbs of the 15 lb 3 month challenge so far! :-) I was at a work Christmas bowling party last night. They were to have some Keto friendly snacks but had pizza, french fries and BREADED chicken nuggets. Glad I took some snacks myself. I had a hard boiled egg, a colby jack string cheese, some pecans and water and stayed on track. I did 242 minutes on my Elliptical this AM for 17 miles.
Couldn't wait for my regular weigh in day!
12/14-169.4 lbs :-) Yessss! Finally into the 160's! Down 6.8 lbs for December, 85.6 lbs Total. Yesterday it was thinking about getting into the 160's. But NOW I'm thinking about getting into the 150's. What a battle going on in my head! CRAZY! I could maybe be in my old clothes by summer!
I got a later start today so I only did 140 minutes on my elliptical for 11 miles today.
12/19/21-169.6 lbs
12/21/21-168.2 lbs
12/25/21-167.2 lbs Did 180 minutes yesterday on my Elliptical for 11.3 miles, and had prime rib, a roasted veggie medley of broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, onion, carrots and zucchini along with a spring mix salad with strawberries, feta and pecans with no dressing on it. I did have a piece of pumpkin cheesecake though but was under my calories.
12/26/21-165.6 lbs I LOST weight over Thanksgiving and Christmas! Today I did 240 minutes on my Elliptical for 16 miles. And I'm having the same thing tonight including the cheesecake.
I'm going to continue on as I have. No break, no slowing down or coasting. I'm feeling so much better. I'm wearing my size 8 jeans today and a medium flannel shirt that I haven't worn since 2014! I've come to learn and accept that I need to live mainly a low carb WOE for the rest of my life. My body doesn't know what to do with carbs but hang onto them as fat.
12/29/21-169.6 lbs :-( Went to Texas Roadhouse last night. So this should be water weight from sodium but I did indulge in a few of the rolls too. They remind me of my late grandma's homemade bread.
12/31/21-168 lbs. December loss -8.2 lbs
1/2/22-168 lbs Down Total- 87 lbs
1/9/22-164.6 lbs Down 90.4 lbs!
1/16/22-162 lbs. Down 93 lbs!
Forgot to post last Sunday somehow?
1/23/22-164.2 lbs. :-( Did this to myself. Had a couple donuts a girl brought to work that I knew to be the best donuts I have ever had from before.
1/30/22-158.4 lbs :-) Down 9.6 lbs of my January 5 lb goal!
Down 96.6 lbs of my 132 lb weight loss goal.
Down 23.4 lbs of my 15 lb Nov/Dec/Jan goal. Yippee!!!!!
Did my Elliptical Tuesday 270 minutes for 18.13 miles, Saturday 254 minutes(in 2 sessions) for 17 miles & Sunday 271 minutes for 17.3 miles.
