Day/Weight/Comment
04/11 …..192.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
04/12 -193.2- (Trend weight 192.0)
04/13 -192.2- (Trend weight 192.5)
04/14 -189.4- (Trend weight 192.2)
04/15 -191.0- (Trend weight 192.0)
04/16 -187.4- (Trend weight 191.6)
04/17 -188.4- (Trend weight 191.3)
04/18 -187.8- (Trend weight 190.9) Another small loss which is more like a miracle. I say that because I have been absolutely STARVING ever since I had that (over) 3 pound whoosh the other day. So far I have SUFFERED through it trying EVERYTHING to get the hunger to go away. All the tricks in my bag aren’t working right now. I’ve managed to stay within my limits on calories and have only went slightly over on carbs per day. I hope this passes soon or I’ll need the strength of Samson to keep going without a major binge.
04/19 -188.4- (Trend weight 190.7)
04/20 -188.8- (Trend weight 190.7) A so-so day with no exercise. At least TMI finally cooperated last night.
04/21 -188.8- (Trend weight 190.7) I’m down 4.0 lbs. this round and I’m very happy. See you all next round.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Round 220
End weight round 219 - 174.2 up from 173.5
Start weight round 220 - 173.2
Goals for round 220
To hit 171.2
Water! Water! Water!
Run every other day
Incorporate kettle bells back into my workouts
4/12 - 173.2 - woke up about 3am feeling like I’d been ran over by a bus. Headache, sinus pressure, cough, sore throat. “Called in” from work - which I’m remote today so no impact on the office. Going back to bed now.
4/13 - 172.8 - still sick but got all of my calories in yesterday. Feeling a little better today but sleep was crap. Hopefully I’m on the upswing. Not sure if I will make the gym tonight. Still really worn down.
4/14 - 171.8 - perks of being sick. I do feel somewhat better today. Going to at least get some walking in and possibly a jog.
4/15 - 172.0 - I’ll take it! I thought it was going to be way more than that. I’m still congested, but feeling soooo much better than I have been. I was able to get a walk/jog in yesterday even with this crud in my head & chest. It felt good!! I got just a tad over 2 miles. I should’ve done a full 3.1 just to see what time I could do it in. Hubby wants Mexican tonight - my weakness 2nd to fried chicken & mashed potatoes. I will get the veggie fajita with no tortillas! Win!
4/16 - 171.7 - Trucking along in the right direction. I slept like crap. This congestion is lingering, otherwise I feel pretty good. Didn’t get my walk in yesterday as planned. Storms on & off today, so we will see how it goes.
4/17 - 173.3 - Ope!! Helllllooooo sodium!
4/18 - 173.0 - Didn’t make the gym yesterday as all the congestion flared back up just when I thought it was heading out. Plan to make the gym tonight and hopefully flush some of this sodium out.
4/19 - 172.6 - was able to do a walk/jog yesterday. This congestion is still lingering 8 days in. With losing weight, I’ve started to notice my bones. I have a collar bone, ribs, hip bones and I can actually feel them now. I find myself feeling them bc I’ve never been able to before. Also, I have to sleep with a pillow or blanket between my knees now. It’s uncomfortable for my knees to lay on top of each other. What have you noticed?
4/20 - 172.4 - got a walk/jog in yesterday. And signed up for a new gym opening up in town. It will cut the cost of my yearly fees from $696 to $396! And that includes the yearly fee. Win! Win! The only thing is they don’t have a track to run, but that’s okay. I can run in my neighborhood. But they have hydro massagers, a sauna, more class options, free body scans (YAY!) & tanning. I’m excited!
4/21 - 172.2 - total loss of 1.3 for the 10 days. Goal was 171.2, but I’ll still take it. See ya next round 😊5 -
I am about 11 kg along the way to lose 32 kg. I use multiple tape measurements (cm) around my body because they aren't affected by salt intake. Apparently I've been trying to lose weight since September 2012, the last time I was at goal weight. Let's see if stopping eating sugary food is going to change things.
Heaviest ever 1st Jan 2021, goal+31.8 kg
Round 215 808 cm
Round 216 802.5
Round 217 800.0
Round 218 796.5
Round 219 792.5
Here are my measurements, bolded means a loss of 0.5 cm, and the number is used to sum the total measurement
101.0 92.5 102.5 58.0 48.0 57.5 47.5 102.0 94.0 103.0 12th
101.0 93.0 102.5 56.5 47.0 57.5 49.0 102.0 94.5 103.0 13th
101.0 91.5 102.0 58.0 48.0 58.0 47.0 102.0 93.0 102.5 14th
101.0 91.0 101.0 57.5 47.5 56.0 46.0 102.0 92.0 103.5 15th
102.0 90.5 101.5 57.0 48.0 56.0 46.5 100.5 91.0 102.5 16th
102.0 91.0 100.5 57.0 47.0 56.0 45.5 101.0 93.5 104.0 17th
100.5 91.5 102.0 58.5 47.5 57.5 47.0 101.5 93.0 102.5 18th
100.5 90.5 101.5 56.0 47.0 55.5 47.0 101.5 92.0 101.0 21st
Total is 788.5 cm, a loss from the previous round
This round went alright, no major problems although I needed to do "serious weight loss" after I had 3 days in a row with now reduction in measurement.3 -
I’m really enjoying these 10 day challenges. My goals are the same as before - to log consistently and to not snack after dinner.
SW RND 218 152.4 lbs. EW 147.8 lbs
SW RND 219 148.4 lbs. EW 146.8 lbs
SW RND 220 146.6 lbs

4/15 147.0 lbs.
4/16 145.8 lbs.
4/17 145.6 lbs.
4/18 145.0 lbs
4/19 145.6 lbs
4/20 145.4 lbs
4/21 145.6 lbs. Seem to be staying steady here. But still I’m down 1 lb this round so I’m happy. See you next round.5 -

@quiltingjaine It isn’t the junk in the house anymore so much. It is restaurant food & other stuff that will not contribute. I will get there. I will figure it out. Or maybe I will just be using fasting as a tool to eat those indulgences once in a while. I am committed to reaching my goals no matter what it takes this year2 -

Thank you for your good wishes. It was a small gynae op, and I’m home and recovering quite well.3 -
My name is Paula and I am a 46 year old 100% service disabled veteran from the Army.
This is my first round. I am a newbie! I am signing up for a variety of challenges to help change my mindset about healthy habits and getting my weight under control. I want a better quality of life where I don’t have to ask my husband to constantly slow down when we are walking because he is going too fast.
I also use Noom, GOLO, and intermittent fasting (IF) using a 16:8 (fasting hours:eating hours) schedule to help affect the change with my weight. I have also DRASTICALLY overhauled my eating habits and what I eat to a more clean way of eating.
Starting weight - 248.0 lbs
Challenge goal weight - 243.0 lbs
4/12 - 248.0 lbs 🆗🚩
4/13 - 248.2 lbs 😕
4/14 - 243.8 lbs 😅🙃 Started going to the gym again, but this time with my 16 year old son as my workout buddy.
4/15 - 241.2 lbs 😌 Thinking of starting my modified fasting schedule since I want to try getting down to two meals a day. I am thinking of assessing how a 18:6 or 20:4 schedule will suit me. I will probably start with shifting to 18:6 (18 hrs fasting & 6 hours eating) for about a month to see how it goes. We are going back to the gym today for more cardio. Monday we start a strength training routine developed by my husband.
4/16 - 239.2 lbs 😅 We ended up not going to the gym yesterday and went today instead. 🏃🏾♀️ We added a whole 2 min⏱️ into our cardio to really weakly (I guess) push ourselves. We both exercise with our hands on the contacts so it can measure our heart ❤️ rate & we make sure to keep our heart rate in the target range —which caused me to have to adjust my speed several times because I can’t and don’t want to imagine waking up dazed in the hospital from passing the heck out. I already have high blood pressure to begin with. This is another of the MANY reasons why I need to lose this darn weight! I attempted to adjust my fasting schedule by cutting 2 hours from my eating time adding it to my fasting time & that was a disaster. I did a tad bit of emotional eating bc I am still learning how to manage my emotions —which is a huge problem for me & I finally had enough of that triggering me to begin an extensive personal & spiritual development/growth undertaking & boy am I grateful that I did! Just finished a course in this online training school for personal development on Emotional Mastery & Reprogramming Subconscious Beliefs & did all the exercises which was life changing, inspiring, & very revealing. I am about to finish the course called Discover, Embrace, & Fulfill Your Personal Needs —which I started midway into doing the before mentioned course. The next one up to tee for me is called Release Resentment from Relationships & Truly Forgive. I’ve already completed the one called Principles & Tools for Reprogramming the Subconscious Mind —which blew me away! 🤩🥳😎🤯. These have helped me understand how my developed habit of trash eating needed some work at a subconscious level along with other challenges/opportunities in my life. I also found a study, during my research on weight loss, that fiber intake was inversely related to weight & body fat % & I recognized my actual fiber intake was no where close the recommendation for weight loss so I started incorporating 3 teaspoons of psyllium husk mixed thoroughly in H2O to my nutritional intake twice a day to address that. We’ll see what happens! I was surprised I even had to do this because I eat a LOT of vegetables, plus quinoa, & hemp seed hearts with 2 out of 3 of my meals per day. Goodness! Like I was saying earlier, I tend to just be extra with whatever I’m doing, then managing to act surprised when I feel stressed out as a result. 😅🤓
4/17 - 241.6 lbs 🥲😳 This yo-yoing as I decline in weight is weird. I don’t know if this is post Workouts inflammation or water retention from our workout the previous day, but it should settle out tomorrow. We will see. It could also be from my poor emotions based choices I made yesterday -which almost always seem to bite me in the butt pretty immediately it seems. Y’all should see my weight loss line graph. It looks like it’s jumping rope down a hill! 🤨😑🙄😵💫🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️. I already take a litany of vitamins 💊 & supplements —which is how it was when I was growing up so I’m just getting back into the tradition starting this intensely about 1 month ago & I think that is also contributing to some of the loss that I am experiencing. I am planning on adding a few more supplements because I tend to be extra like that & my liver & kidney function isn’t obviously taxed enough so why not! The supplements & vitamins I take are more for thyroid health (I have hypothyroidism), reproductive region health, & brain fog/fatigue/alertness. I found out after the fact that some were also strongly responsible for weight loss related benefits. So why not? I am an Amazon shopping addict as it is so let’s raise the bar!
4/18 - 241.4 lbs 🤦🏾♀️😑🫣 Excited about going to the gym today and hitting that cardio. We were supposed to start doing strength training at home with the hubby because he developed a whole strategy and everything, but we were slackers yesterday. I had to upend my eating and fasting hours some time get them closer to back on track, plus I cut out dinner because I couldn’t start eating until my window opened at 11:10 and I stay away hardcore now from eating past like about 1800. I have been trying to figure out why I emotionally eat even still sometimes here and there and automatically without much resistance fall prey to something comforting either sweet, crunchy, or salty when I need to regulate myself emotionally. I was working on my personal development course finishing up the one on Personal Needs and the teacher Thais notes that the reason why some people emotionally eat is that they have a subconscious high priority need for “comfort”, as many people do, and when our emotions are triggered because we have some subconscious need that is not being met our subconscious seeks the fastest (not necessarily the best way which tends to bite us sometimes or…often) way to get that need met and food is the stopgap it typically drives us to choose because it is such an easy quick fix. She then trained me what to do to be proactive in getting these needs met so that there is no opportunity for this to happen. My number one need come to find out from the class is comfort. That explains it and I already started putting the proactive strategy in play!
4/19 - 239.6 lbs 😅😊 Actually had a good night’s sleep. Woke up about two hours after I set my alarm for though. I am working on getting back to my scheduled and usual wake up time at 0430 so I can implement my new morning routine. I will just shift it to later after I get my youngest son on the bus. I am enjoying journaling including a food journal which I use to work through any times when I make unhealthy choices to get through the root cause and create a dialogue for myself that this is not the way! 😕. Will work out today since we didn’t go yesterday —which switches up our schedule. I understand the concern about the psyllium husk, but it is making me more regular than I was despite the amount of vegetables I eat daily. I drink over half a gallon of distilled water a day so it is working out for me fairly well this far. 💩 Today we are going grocery shopping and we usually go in the morning so we aren’t in the midst of decision fatigue from a long day if I go later in the afternoon or evening and before the store gets more full of people —which is one of the many tricks that Noom teaches that has really worked me in terms of sticking to what are good healthy choices and keeps me straight.
4/20 - 242.2 lbs 😒🥺😢🤯 Yesterday was the first day we did strength training exercise and it is based on the program that my husband generated for me and our oldest son. My son and I went to the gym today and did some cardio on the elliptical. It worked well to reduce some stress and tension I was feeling this evening. We are really testing out of what he setup works and what the right amount of weight is for me. Yesterday was my most successful day of eating based on analysis of macros & micro nutrients. I repeated what I ate this day and monitored my macros and micro nutrients by meal and made adjustments to what I added to the subsequent meals based on these results. I readjusted my micro and macro nutrient targets too. I sm going to monitor by meal and overall for the upcoming week to see what’s up! I ended up cutting how much psyllium husk I added to supplement my fiber today because I was successful at getting a decent amount from my food intake. I have my sugar target set to 6 g and I actually hit it today! I only got 5! Usually I can get in the 30s or 40s.
🏁 4/21 - 239.6 lbs 🥰😊😅 WOOHOO! Staying steady on my fasting schedule I see is CRITICAL as heck for me. For some reason I see in the data if I don’t it somehow affects my hormonal balance or something goes awry a little bit…maybe!
