Challenge - lose 11.2 pounds by Jan 1 (I.e. get to 150)
Starting 11/8 161.25 -
January 31 Goal weight is 215.4Hi .. it's Weigh-in day for my start on this challenge. Because my weight has fluctuated so much over the past month or two as my doctor has been working with me to adjust medications, I am going to go with the average weight for the month as my starting point.
Start: Nov 1, 2022 Oct's. 31-day average weight 225.4 (weight fluctuated between 223.2 and 229.2 )
Goal: Jan 31, 2023 .. goal set at lose 10 pounds: 215.4
Week 0: Nov 1 start weight 225.4
Week 1: Nov 8 scale weight 225.85 -
Daily check-in:
11-1: 147.7 lbs
11-8: 144.8 lbs
Daily activities:
Log food: did yesterday
Exercise: did yesterday
Mindset: When hungry, remind myself of the reasons for weight loss - done, also did my Jedi mind trick (delaying, telling myself that I can wait a bit before eating again). Both were helpful, but not overly needed yesterday.6 -
I'm a bit late rejoining but here again. I've lost 11lbs since joining these challenges last February and was almost at goal last time I stepped on the scale 2 wks ago. I have gone a bit off the rails since then as I have torn my rotator cuff and have not been able to go to the gym (working out tends to motivate me to eat well). I will weigh myself tomorrow and get myself back on track. So glad to have this group here especially during this most challenging of seasons.

Hi My name is Sherri 60 year old and live in BC
I'm back. I really need to get back on track. I didn't lose anything the last challenge as I wasn't tracking my food and eating way too many carbs. I find my body doesn't like digesting carbs(especially bread) and just holds on to it. I gain almost everytime I eat bread. Going to have to come up with a solution for bread as it is any easy and quick food to grab when I'm hungry or in a hurry.
Start of new contest
1) Track food at least 5 days a week - did 4 days
2) Drink more water, 5 glasses a day - average 3 a day
3) Get out for a walk 4 days a week if can't get out exercise at home. Yoga, Weights or Strength training - only got out 3 times going ton have to work on this. We have Snow and it's hard yo get out so will have to make up a home exercise plan
4) Lose 5lbs a month

Hi Sherri,
Welcome aboard!
You can do this and we are here to cheer you on!
I hope you find a fitness plan that works during snowy weather.
I would encourage you to google nutrients craving chart. I think bread craving signifies a nutrient deficiency. Maybe you can find other foods in that nutrient category that work better for you.
I encourage you to focus on adequate protein and fiber intake daily and your water intake. Those two categories I mentioned will keep you feeling full.
Best wishes to reaching your goals 😊

WI Down 0.2 pound 👍
That could have been Down 2.0, but yesterday’s lasagna got me 😵💫
Also this could be the same place I shopped for yesterday’s dessert apple fritters

Today is a day with a tight morning schedule. My plan is to squeeze in my usual time on the elliptical machine (and not do strength training or yoga). I have already done this; I didn’t want to, but knew that I would. Being accountable to this group was a strong reason that I did it. Today and two of the next three days are going to be difficult, food-wise, due to the days’ activities. Today and Friday will be the most manageable; Sat will be really difficult.
Love the muffins, @200Karen !8 -
Hi Everyone!
I'm going to check in today instead of my usual Friday because I won't have access to a scale until Sunday or Monday. I'm traveling. Moving my sister home to Pennsylvania from Florida. I can't wait to see her tonight and give her a big hug!!!!
I've got my motivation back somehow! Let's just hope that it continues through my trip.

I'm not great at sticking to Challenges, so I'd appreciate all support.
Have a Girls' Trip to Savannah at the end of January, so this Challenge is perfect timing.
I'm wicked short, so 15# is a lot for my height.

The last 3 days have went well with tracking my food and fasting. My eating window is 10-6. Exercise not so good I did mow some grass/leaves today. I can say I have had more energy. Looking forward to weighing in on Saturday.5

I know a lot of this weight is water weight, but it feels good to see a drop on the scale. This week is the first time in a long time that I feel more in control of my eating. My NSV is that I kept my stress eating down to 1 evening this week.6 -

Not a great week for exercise since I have a head cold and just didn't feel up to it every day.
One good thing about having a cold, I really didn't feel much like eating. A couple days I had to force myself to eat enough so that I didn't drop below my daily minimum.
In any case, I'm thrilled with a 1.7 lb loss this week!
Have a great weekend!

Good morning. My weigh in day is Friday. I chose Friday's because we usually go out on Thursday nights and I am trying to curb that habit to save money and calories.
