    07/28 = 157.5 kinda crashin' & burnin' last few days ~ this too shall pass

    Starting weight - 249.5 - March 2017
    Lowest weight - 202 - December 2017
    Goal weight 183 (planned maintenance range 180-186)

    6/29/18 - 208.5 - Making a fresh start for Onederland after Independence Day.
    7/6/18 - 209.5 - A little temporary gain from the holiday carb fest. Here we go!
    7/12/18 - 210.5 - Arrggghhhh! The bad news - the scale is going the wrong way. The good news - I'm getting my workouts in - lifting numbers are going up - I'm staying under my calorie target. Next week will be better.
    7/26/18 - 209 - slowly moving in the right direction. Lifting numbers still going up. Getting most of the workouts in. Logging all the food - looks like I should lower the calorie target just a bit.

    8/2/18 - 209 - turns out yesterday's whoosh was just a tease. DAMMIT! Oh, well - maintenance is good. Ate Tex-Mex in a restaurant last night. I probably should be pleased with a flat line. HAHA! :)
    8/9/18 - 207.5 - Great - some progress, finally. And I saw 206 again earlier in the week. Onward and downward!
    8/16/18 - 208 - AARRGGHH! - Getting frustrated here. I keep telling myself "Maintenance is good. You're not gaining. LIfting numbers are still going up." Regardless, I'd like to see some slow weight loss - just not this slow. HAHA! :D
    8/23/2018 - 205 - Holy whoosh, Batman! And I saw 204 earlier in the week. Finally some progress! YAY!
    8/30/2018 - 204.5 - I'll take it! Not my best week, program wise. I am happy to see a small loss. Onward and downward!

    9/6/2018 - 206.5 - Been skipping some workouts and walking and also eating more. No surprise that weight is up a bit after the holiday carbfest. I did see 203.5 on the scale last Sunday, so that was encouraging. Need to be more consistent on the workouts.
    9/20/2018 - 208.5 - Missed last week's weigh in. Up a bit today - eating too much some days, still. Need more discipline! Weights going up - so that's a positive.
    9/27/2018 - 205 - welcome to the roller coaster. Maintaining in the 204-210 range for several months now. I'm going to restrict calories for a few weeks to see if I can get a slow, steady loss going.

    10/4/2018 - 204 - YAY! Lowered my calorie target to 2000 per day. A bit of a struggle some days. Will try this for six weeks and see if I can get to Onederland.

    5'4
    SW 175 July 18th, 2018
    GW 140 by end of yr, UGW 130-135

    8/9/18 166
    8/23/18 163 (- 3 lbs in 2 weeks)
    8/30/18 161 (- 2 lbs in 1 week)
    9/6/18 160 (-1 lb)
    9/13/18 158 (-2 lbs)
    9/20/18 157 (-1 lb)
    9/27/18 155 (-2 lbs)
    10/4/18 153.5 (-1.5 lbs)

    The constant hunger and cravings seem to be getting better, for now. I am walking 2 miles per day for 3-4 days/week, on top of my daily exercise, and added a high intense 5 minute squat routine a few times a week as well. All the hard work is paying off! I could definitely eat healthier, as in my food choices but as long as I continue to keep my portions under control it should be ok. Maybe one day I will eat all whole foods, like I want to do :).

    Hola,

    7/15/18: 119.4
    8/1/18: 118.2
    9/1/18: 117.2
    10/1/18: 116.8
    10/5 /18: 114.2 - de-bloating

    Still killing it in the gym!
    Back to 24kg KB swings 5x10


    Updated again: Focusing to be at 113.2 by end of October,
    1# from my lowest weight ever!



    Amanda
    4'11"
    SW 119.4 - 7/15/2018
    lowest weight 113.2 - 10/2016
    GW#1 108.9
    GW#2 99

    I should reach my GW#1 by mid-December, and
    I would like to maintain through the Holidays (Thanksgiving/Christmas/NYE).

    GW#2 will be the next Challenge.

    I am focusing on reducing body fat, shaping my booty, and achieving 8 pullups (current max is 7).
    My workouts: weight-training, yoga, and volunteer farming.
    Calories: ~1200-1500

    Appreciate all help.
    Thanks.





    The No Late Night Snack Challenge is really helping me this time.
    I used to blow all the good/hard work at night when I'd aimlessly eat hundreds of calories.
    But my current streak of no LNS is 4 days this month, and counting.

    Geez - I feel like I wasted almost an entire month. I got to my lowest weight so far on 9/13 - it was 159. Finally I'm back there today. I started a new eating plan - and it was kind of clunky getting started ! But I think I have it now. Aside from monthly water weight gain - I should be good to continue going down. (I hope.)

    I don't think it was a waste. You have to try different approaches to see what works for you. Call it a lesson. Congrats on getting back to your lowest weight!

    What @alterdsteve175 said! I just had a few weeks of unexpected gains that I think I've got back under control. Specifically:

    Age: About a year older than I was last year. You might say "middle aged."
    Height: Just under 5' 7".
    HEAVIEST weight: 175.4
    Total Weight lost: 24 pounds since January 2018
    Maintenance weight range: 142 - 148

    6/29: 148.8
    7/6: Traveling (146.6 on 7/8)
    7/13: 144.8
    7/20: Traveling (147.4 on 7/22)
    7/27: 145.2
    8/3: 145.2
    8/10: Traveling (145.0 on 8/11)
    8/17: 148.6
    8/24: 148.6
    8/31: 147.2
    9/7: 148.6
    9/14: 148.8
    9/21: 149.0
    9/28: 147.8 -- Just barely under the top of my goal range again the last three days! Trending weight is still just a tick above the top of my goal range, but let's see what I can do about that this week....
    5/5: Wild & Scenic Rogue River (third trip for year). No scales! Was 146.8 whenI returned 9 October.

    Hi! I’d love to join your challenge! I was a locally competitive runner but got sidelined with autoimmune disease and am just getting back to running and trying to get back to a more comfortable weight for me. I’m about 144 now and would like to lose 8-10 lbs by the end of the year. I have to relearn how to work the body I have now since the things I used to do to keep weight off aren’t options currently and I have some emotional soothing with food to rethink.
    Starting weight (10 years ago):155
    Lowest ever (when I was running):133
    Current (10/10/18) 144
    Thanksgiving goal: 138
    12/31/18 goal: 135

    My plan for this week is meal prep. I will take Sunday to prepare my lunches and make a meal plan for my dinners and get all the necessary items needed to eat healthy for the coming week.
    For exercise I will walk and bike around the neighborhood.

    Hi everyone! Well my plan for Sunday didn’t work out as planned. I did go shopping, but I didn’t get home in time to make dinner. All is not lost I still have everything thing I need for the week to plan meals. I’m always on the go in the morning, never getting up in time to make a good breakfast. When I am eating mindful and healthy I usually eat 2 boiled eggs and a banana for breakfast on the go. Does anyone have any tips or ideas for a different breakfast on the go?

    ... When I am eating mindful and healthy I usually eat 2 boiled eggs and a banana for breakfast on the go. Does anyone have any tips or ideas for a different breakfast on the go?

    Do you need something to eat on your trip to work? I keep protein bars around for that.

    If you want something warm, check the recipe threads for overnight oats. Made in a slow cooker or instant pot and ready to go when you get up.
