15 pounds to lose challenge February 1-May 1, 2022
Replies

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.
4/10 187.2 -1.4 this week and month, -8.8 this challenge (Challenge goal reached!)
4/17 186.6 -.6 this week, -2.0 this month, -9.4 challenge had an off week again due to hormones/weather. Only exercised twice and was over my calorie goal most days, surprising had a loss still,
4/24 185.0 -1.6 this week, 3.6 this month, 11lbs this challenge. Had another partially off week, am again surprised by that much loss. Part whoosh? That or maybe my TDEE is more than MFP thinks it is by just a bit. Did try new recipes for using all of a fennel plant and tried Harissa sauce.

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)
April 11 - 129.5
April 18 - 129.5 (Yawn...)
April 25 - 128.5 (-1) (YAY!)

That's hard. I feel your pain! I got a pre-diabetes diagnosis on my last blood test and convinced my doctor to allow me to get a Continuous Glucose Monitor trial for just 2 weeks. It really helped me pinpoint the changes I needed to make and was a big eye opener. There's a post from me on this (April 11) at this link: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10858882/diabetes#latest4 -

Sheepishly checking in.....I lost my way on this round!
Started with this group back in Jan 2021
(formerly RunDMC)and did well on the first 3month challenge. I was very committed to the journey and lost 10 lbs - which was a big deal to me!
The next couple rounds I half heartedly tried to stay on the tracking & exercise plan, but just was not committed to myself and let everyone & everything take precident over my health & goals.
I'd like to get in on the next round and will keep checking to start with everyone else!
*By the way ..... So impressed with everyone's progress whether it be in the numbers shifting or the insights and learning.*10 -

Hi all, just feeling I need to reach out to the group today. I'm having a rough week with extreme family drama and it's derailing my resolve. I don't dare jump on the scale! The stress is waking me up every night at 3 am, I haven't exercised since Friday and I'm being inconsistent with my food. I know stress is inevitable and life happens. I'm trying to pull myself away from the precipice of self-pity and force myself to go do some aerobics/dancercise today. And this darn rain in Oregon!! I'm sure you've all been there!8

Hi @StepWise123 ... sorry to hear things are so rough. I hope you can find your way to the scale soon, assess where you're at, and get your plan in place. Wishing you the strength and energy to follow through with your exercise plans and hope that you'll get some nice stress busting benefits from it.8

Hi Friends! I am so impressed with all of you. This challenge was a success, many of you lost pounds, gained resolve and mental clarity, and motivated us to check in and get inspired.
Some of you including me didn't do as well as we wanted, but we still visited this thread and continued checking in. That is success too!
I will set up the new challenge in five minutes. Let's hop on that thread and start fresh!! Any goals are welcome!7 -

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)
April 11 - 129.5
April 18 - 129.5 (Yawn...)
April 25 - 128.5 (-1) (YAY!)
April 30 - 127.5 (-1) Probably lost some muscle since I wasn’t doing weights this week.
Total April loss: - 3 pounds
Total this challenge: - 8.5 pounds
