Hi everyone,
I'm jumping off this board for now because I don't expect much progress by the end of September and I'm already on six other boards. Wishing you all the very best success in the weeks ahead
Wednesday, September 15th is only 15 weeks until January 1st, 2025!
Imagine, we can ring in the New Year 15 lbs. lighter by losing just 1 pound per week under then!
'Bye for now!
Love, Carole,💞3 -

Have a great week.

YOUR CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT FOR THIS CHALLENGE:145
YOUR CHALLENGE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL:140
*I lost a bit of weight by changing my habits eating at restaurants. I only eat out if I am with others and just get one entrée, no sides.
*I quit drinking cream/sugar after 2 cups of coffee..most days
*I've been trying to eat breakfast most days, but haven't noticed any differences.
*Also, I have been eating 2 bean or legume dishes per week and not noticed any difference in my weight. This has recently morphed into eating 1-2 tofu meals per week which I do think took off a pound or 2!
JULY 1: 145
JULY 5: 145
*5 days into my "Dry July". I am pretty careful about sticking to recommended 1-2 per day and no more than 5 per week so it'll be interesting,for me, to see if I notice any differences!
JULY20: 146
"Dry July" is not helping any because I bought a fiesta pack of Jaritos and have been splitting one with my daughter almost every day or having some other cold, sugary drink!🌞😅
Aug. 3rd:148
Cutting out alcohol definitely didn't help any with weight loss! I've been craving more sweets and carbs lately. However, I have been sleeping so much better!!! I am going to try buying a better quality bottle once a month or so instead of every week because of that only.
Also, it's been rainy or too hot and humid here..so walking a lot less.
I've stopped trying to eat breakfast as that is so hard for me to stick to, but I'd like to try one month having a bit of oats, every day, in the morning to see if it makes any difference for me. Maybe for September!
Aug. 10th-146
Going to track my added sugar this week, and aim under 25 g.
Aug. 20th- 144
Didn't count sugar grams over the weekend, but think I stayed under 35 g. Under 25g is so difficult for me! I am going to try to stay under 35g, at least, which is less than 10% of my daily calories.
Aug. 30- Hangin' in there @ 144lbs😅
September 7th-142 Not sure how I lost a few pounds, but I have been walking a bit more since it's not upper 90°s this week. Also, l reduced my work hours to 28 instead of 40! & reduced grocery bill to match my income. 😬
September 17th: 144
Trying to figure out what small changes I can make to drop these last 10 pounds without worrying over every calorie. I have my meals logged in advance every week, usually around 1500 calories per day. (I'm short 5'2). I try to stick to the plan, but not counting calories anymore.
Wishing everyone the best with this challenge! 🌻1 -
