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 (-0.5)
April 18 - 129.5 (-0) Yawn.....

I'm in a funk but also motivated. I got my blood test; I'm borderline diabetes. So, my fiance and I have been carefully planning our meals this past week. I gained weight this past three months but I hope to be more motivated this next three months. I will post a new link for those who want to keep up with this challenge.

Hugs to you …. That is tough news, but I can understand how it can feel motivating too. You’ll do great with your fiancee’s support if you both stay positively focused on your future together.

I hit my ultimate goal weight in April, but starting to see myself already slacking a tiny bit. As someone in another thread posted, the difference between maintenance and losing is only a few hundred calories. Don't go back to old (bad) eating habits.6 -

I've been MIA for most of this month as covid made me sluggish for 2 weeks, and I'm slowly getting back to it on 3rd week. Last week been trying to get back to running, with three 5K runs.
Still tracking most food, but I have been more indulging, and eating more for maintenance.
I'm in 'last 15' so every 100 calorie counts for a lot.
I'm proud of myself for not giving in to the covid chocolate cake demands 🤣, I pretty much maintained, and considering how hard it was for me to start dropping any weight initially, I knew I wasn't going to drop 15, but was hoping for 10.
I know what areas I need to improve on and they mostly stem from lifestyle changes (not enough sleep = eating sugars to stay awake + a LOT of ☕️) and would like to change my evening mini binges (mostly triggered by tired) into occasional night out dinning/bar with friends, which can be done with pretracking.
Though I can't have any binges to drop the last lbs 😫 😩
Next few days should be the water bloat time, so I'm expecting more fun with scales.6 -
