Lose 10 lbs by end of July, 2017 - also starting BBL and walking starting June 26.

July 19th and I'm already down to 221!!! I'm so excited. Hoping I can keep this trend going.
Here is my original post and after is an update because I had to do some tweaking to the plan...

"Current weight 230
Goal weight 220
40 yrs old, 5'6"
Diet: Low carb with tons of fresh veggies and meeting 120g protein goal per day. Calorie goal 1750/day.
Exercise: 30 minutes fasting cardio (elliptical, treadmill or stationary bike) first thing every morning, plus strength training and core, 5 days per week, 2 rest days. Plus one or two 15 minute walks 5 days a week on work breaks."

Changes: Still, low carb but actually went with the ketogenic diet. My weight wasn't budging with 1750 calories a day so I went down to 1550 calories and also started intermittent fasting. I fasted 22 hours which means I ate dinner around 7pm and then ate again the next evening around 5pm. I ate one large meal and some snacks over a 3 hour period then stopped. I did the 22 hour water fast 2x a week. I've also been following a workout program on Bodyspace: Jamie Eason's LiveFit trainer. Still walking on my breaks at work but it's only 1 time per day for 15 minutes.

Start weight: 202.6
Current weight: 198.2
Goal weight: 197

Small goal due to going on holiday.......... I'm back!!! put on while I was away but it's actually come off easier than I thought it would I think keeping active while we were there helped a lot.

6/25 SW: 197lbs
GW: 187

7/2: 197 No pounds lost, but I took my measurements and I lost 5 inches all over my body. Since that's the case, I'm not so upset about the numbers staying the same this week.

7/10: 196.8 Went up and finally back down. I actually had to recalculate my calories because I just wasn't eating enough. Hopefully now I'll be able to lose a bit more and a bit quicker.

7/26: 193.4 whoops forgot to update on monday. Looks like I won't be able to reach the 10 pounds, but I think I can push forward and see some more results before the end of the month.

7/31: 193.2 Pretty far from this challenge goal weight. I just kept hitting these speed bumps in the middle of my weeks that I had to make up for. I really could have done better. However, I was able to be more active, take more steps and drink more water over this whole month so I'll take those accomplishments and move on.

Total loss: 3.8lbs

I did it! Down from 230 to 218.5!!!
