Memorial Day Low Carb Weight Loss Challenge: Week 6

Citrislazer

Week 6 runs from 4/14 to 4/20. Half way there!

Optional mini challenge for the week: Wake up each morning this week and tell yourself, “I can do this.”

Remember, we are doing a running total of percentage lost. Use your starting weight when you joined this challenge, and subtract this week’s weigh-in. If you’ve lost weight since last week, your percentage this week will be bigger compared to what you posted last week.

Formula for figuring combined weekly %
1. starting weight when you join challenge – this week’s weight
2. divide weight lost by starting weight
3. Mutliply by 100

Anyone is welcome to join the challenge at any time. To join, set your weight loss goal for Memorial Day and post what percentage you’re working towards losing.

Here’s the formula for figuring your goal %:
1. current weight this week – Memorial Day goal weight
2. divide weight lost by current weight this week
3. multiply by 100

I know that some of us weigh multiple times a week. Please post just one result for the weekly results list. But, feel free to post encouragement to others as many times as you want, tell us about your progress, or little victories.

Let's have fun!

A another little loss, now at 3.56%

FIT_Goat

Start Week Weight: 79.4kg
This Week Weight: 75.8kg
Total Percentage Lost: 4.50% (Change: +1.10%)
Goal Percentage Lost: 8.32%

Just like always: My current percentage is based on unrounded values and is accurate. If you use the rounded values (from above) you get a slightly different number.

Edit: My personal mini-challenge this week is to up my fat intake to a daily average of at least 80% of my calories.

Total loss %- 4.62

I have hit the weight that I hoped I could reach before starting this diet, and learning that unlike ever other diet I have tried, this works. :happy:

lisajsund

Bump - so it's listed in my topics for tomorrow's weigh in.

strawmama

Woohoo, still going! 3.71%

caitaurelius

Slow and steady...now at 1.8%.
Have lowered my carbs some more this week, so far so good!

lisajsund

Slow and steady - down another 0.5 lb.

Weekly loss is 0.26%. Total loss is 0.79%.

Is it 6 or 7 more weeks of the challenge left to go?

Weight training may have impeded my loss a little this week - had a free killer personal training session Monday evening.
Loved it!!

Citrislazer

I counted 6 weeks left on Monday. Now it's almost 5 1/2.

spottedkathy

Stayed the same again. I am seeing a difference in my body just not the scale. Maybe next week it will start to reflect more.

ejdp254

Still on 3.75% gggrrrrrrrrrr:grumble: , not a happy bunny!! Let's see what next week brings. I'm going to be super accurate with logging and see if that helps any........:ohwell:

jenabugg

TattooTwinset

Didn't realize we had a new thread every week, and have been posting in the original one.. lol I had thought that everyone quit and was just using it to track for myself. I hope I am still considered a participant.

I am up this week by 3lbs that's a gain of 1.63% this week. I know why though, and I figure next week I will be back down.

Citrislazer

I didn't get a chance to post my weigh-in last Friday, but here it is finally: down 7.45% total. Woot! That's 13.2 lbs lost since starting this challenge.

@TattooTwinset: Oh no! lol. Yes, you're still part of the challenge.

jenabugg

Down another 2.8 pounds or 1.11%...that's 1.67% total.
