3/6: 197.8 lbs - race day!

Feb 1 - 136
Feb 7 - 135.5 (-0.5)
Feb 14 - 135 (-0.5) Guess this is ‘mode operandi’ for now. According to the NIH site, I should be about 134.5. So, I’d like to lose a full pound this coming week.
Feb 21- 134 (-1) Yay! Worked hard for that one. Feb 28
Feb 28 - 133 (-1)
Total Loss for February -3 pounds
March 7 - 132.5 (- 0.5)

March 21 - 132 (-0.5) Looks like a bit of a plateau. .
March 28 - 131.5 (-0.5)
March 31 - 130.5 (-1)
Total Loss for March - 3 pounds
My Goals for April:
1) I won’t get discouraged or give up through any plateaus.
2. Say goodbye to the 130s ....
3) Work on rebuilding muscles with consistent resistance training.
4) Focus more on stress management & balance.

4/01 144.6
Beat my March goal by a little (it was to be 145.5 by April Fools Day)
Goal for April is to keep steady progress of about a lb a week. I will be attending a week long exercise oriented health spa (with plenty of pampering too) the first week of May, so my goal is to be around 139 by then. It won’t be quite the 15 lbs weight loss the rest of you have set for yourselves, but close. At this point, if I slow or stop losing I am going to figure it just means I have lost enough, I am well within a healthy BMI, but I am doing ok and not finding it challenging to stick with it anymore, Its become routine. Like everything else these last couple of years! Will likely switch to maintaining once this challenge is over.

Hello! Am 34/F, living in Oregon and restarted my journey to better health last June after some not so good lab results gave me the kick I needed. I’ve lost weight before but gained it back and more by letting stress turn into apathy about my health. I am planning on this time being the one that sticks, making healthy habits and learning how to cook healthy foods.
I have lost 44lbs since I started, can now fit in clothes two sizes smaller and have lowered my resting heart rate by 15bpm. My lab results have also improved. I’ve been trying new(to me) food and have found spices and dishes I’ve really enjoyed that are healthy and delish. With exercising regularly, I can now go up stairs without getting out of breath, am able to go up hills and on hikes without feeling like I am dying and have more energy and better mental health. Some days I have to remind myself of the above benefits so far, when I am feeling tired and my motivation is waning.
My current deficit is set to lose at least .5lbs each week, with the goal to not eat any of my exercise calories. My main exercise right now is walking and playing ring fit adventure. By the end of this period I should have a basic strength training program going.
May 28th 2021 Weight 240lbs (also my highest weight)
Ultimate goal weight 170lbs (I’ll reassess once there but that feels more like a doable goal right now)
Challenge starting weight- 196
Challenge end goal- 188
Sunday is my weigh in day
2/01 196.2
2/06 195.2. Had a good but busy week. Had first pt appt for a creaky knee and have home exercise to do to try and help correct patella tracking disorder a bit. Have been working on increasing the distance of my walks when I have time, and doing an extra hill. It been nice surprising nice out and have really enjoyed my walks
2/13 192.0 -3.2lbs this week, 4.2 this month and challenge. What a whoosh! It’s bound to go up next week as will be my monthly but I am enjoying seeing the number. My goal is to lose 2 to 3 lbs a month, to see it all in one week is odd. Had a nice week, 1 hike, 4 walks and did my pt exercises 4 days, under my calorie goal all this week, though did depend on exercise calories some days.
2/20 191.6 -.4 lbs this week, -4.6 the month and challenge. Super surprised it didn't bounce up but I will take it. Had a good week, went on a hike and a few walks and finally started doing some basic strength training. Already had the same things needed out for my pt exercises, so I got started on what I remembered, even if I still don't have my plan written out yet.
2/27 192.6 +1lb, -3.6 this month and challenge. Was over my calorie goal Friday and Saturday had delicious but calorie and sodium heavy food. Hopefully is mostly water weight
2/28 192.4 -.2
Total for Feb -3.8lbs!
3/01 192.0 -.4
3/06 193.2 +1.2, +.8 this month, -3lbs this challenge
3/13 190.1 -3.1 lbs this week, -2.3 this month, -6.1 this challenge. 50lbs lost TOTAL!! Finally I realized I tend to hold onto or gain weight near the middle of my cycle and have a bit of a loss or a whoosh right before it starts. Getting the pattern down helps keep things in perspective. I’ve been keeping up with my home ot exercises and strength training a few times a week and been getting walks in and doing pretty well food wise. Nice to have it eventually show on the scale. Weeded out more clothes that are too big for me now this week and went through my storage and found more clothes that now fit again as well!.
3/20 189.8 -.3 this week, 2.6 this month, 6.4 this challenge
3/27 188.6 -1.2 this week, 3.8 this month, 7.6 this challenge
Total for March 3.8 lbs! (Again! Wonder if can lose 3.8 next time too)
4/03 188.6 No loss this week. Was over calories Friday and Saturday with a bit more salty food so am happy it wasn’t a gain. Kinda been in a blah mood the last couple weeks, have not kept up this challenge but have mostly been keeping up with daily check ins ins another challenge I’ve been doing. This month is going to be focusing on maintaining my current good habits, instead of tweaking things or trying anything new. Doing strength train at least twice, if not three times a week and drinking more water.

I feel like I'm on a roller coaster. But on a roller coaster, once you start your descent from the top, after a lot of ups and downs, you wind up down at the bottom. That's where I want to get to.
(I'm happy with losing half a pound a week)9 -
February 1 to May 1, 2022
Round 3 for me! I think I was 149-150 at the start of this. This round I’m treating myself like a scientific Guinea pig project, using the free National Institutes of Health “Body Weight Planner”. . .
Goal: reach about 128.5 lbs. this round, stay with my plant-based diet, keep using weights, and lower my cholesterol in the process.
Feb 1 - 136
Feb 7 - 135.5 (-0.5)
Feb 14 - 135 (-0.5) Guess this is ‘mode operandi’ for now. According to the NIH site I should be about 134.5. So, I’d like to lose a full pound this coming week.
Feb 21- 134 (-1) Yay! Worked hard for that one. Feb 28
Feb 28 - 133 (-1)
Total Loss for February -3 pounds
March 7 - 132.5 (- 0.5)
March 14 - 132.5 (-0)
March 21 - 132 (-0.5) Looks like a bit of a plateau . . .
March 28 - 131.5 (-0.5)
March 31 - 130.5 (-1)
Total Loss for March - 2.5 pounds
My Goals for April:
1) I won’t get discouraged or give up through any plateaus.
2. Say goodbye to the 130s . . .
3) Work on rebuilding muscles with consistent resistance training.
4) Focus more on stress management & balance.
April 1 - 130.5
April 4 - 130.0 (-0.5) Today, I am celebrating losing 20 pounds since last summer. (-13%). Yes, it’s only been a measly half pound a week at a time, but at age 72 I am feeling like I’m in the best shape I’ve been in since my mid-40s.

After a stressful week at work, I baked my favorite treat and have been snacking on that instead of something more nutritious. But, I’m almost through the batch, work has eased up, and things are moving forward.
I had a uptick in my weight—it follows my typical weight loss pattern, so I’m not too concerned. I do, however, need to get back to eating more fruits and vegetables as a snack instead of delicious baked goods.

Last weekend got hit with covid birthday present. On day 4 now, and started going back to tracking yesterday. Had so many cravings for carbs and fats. All I could think about was chocolate cake!🤦🏻♀️ Not sure when I'll go back to running, I'm still overall tired, so I will have to buckle down to clean eating for now.8 -
Hi, I’m Karen
I am 64 yrs young, 5’0” female from Oregon
I am 12 lbs from my goal weight.
GW 120, BMI 22.7
SW 135.0
February MAINTAINED
March 4 lbs RELEASE
SW 131.0
April Goal 3 lb release
Day/Weight/Comment
MY WEEK (1: 131.0, 2: 130.0)
05: 132 OOPS going the wrong way 🧐
I know age plays a part in my weight creeping up. But, I need to face the facts about how much I can eat. I need to change the mindset and habits which got me here—hopefully there aren’t too ingrained.
Today I’m cutting back for lunch half sandwich not whole and for dinner extra veggies not pasta.
I keep thinking I can do this alone but I think having a bit of extra push from others ALWAYS HELPS.

UGW-122 lbs. I was there in 2009/10 and kept it off for 5 years then got lazy.
My goal is to continue with what seems to work for me. 1000-1200 calories, low carb 15 Net +/- 3(My body seems to not do well with carbs. It doesn't know how to burn them and hangs onto them way too much!), minimum 70 + oz of water, 2 meals/day on my days off(3) and 3 meals on my work days(which are long), exercise on my 3 days off. My weigh in day is Sunday.
