Week 6 Weight In!! Updated weight and goals for this week!
CW: 153.8
GW: 144
Challenge Weight Loss to achieve: 9.8 lbs
10/15/18: 152.8 (1 lb loss!)
10/22/18: 152.2 (1/2 lb loss!)
10/29/18: 155.6 (oops - hoping it's just water weight)
11/05/18: 152.6 (back on track!)
11/19/18: 155.6 (back up but was traveling over the weekend)
11/26/18: 152.8
12/03/18: 152.8 - I'm disappointed that I've only lost 1 lb this whole challenge...but on the other side if I wasn't trying how much would I have gained? I always gain between Thanksgiving into the winter. At least I am staying stable this year!
12/10/18: 152.6 - BUT....my clothes are fitting better and I definitely look slimmer. I don't have a lot of loss so I know that's why I've been bouncing all over the place, my goal is to get back into my size 8 pants and I need to be around 144 lbs. I'm in size 10 right now and they are comfortable..not tight anymore!
Week 1 Challenges to over come:
Absolutely NO buying anything downstairs at our little shop. NOTHING!!!!!!
Keep my carbs at net 40 grams max. I follow a low carb lifestyle and I need to become more consistent
Week 2 Challenges to over come:
This week I'm going to work more on "moving more". I've been lazy for quite a while. I need to be more consistent getting in 10,000+ steps a day.
Keep working on Week 1 challenges!
Week 3 Challenges to over come:
Two things I want to work on this week...one is finding some sort of distraction for when I feel hungry and just automatically reach for food. I need to either get up and walk or go get a drink of water! Second, this is my last week of yoga (paying) so I need to start doing yoga consistently at home. So starting this week 5/7 days I'll be doing at least 15 minutes of yoga.
Week 4 Challenges to over come:
Besides all the challenges above I'm still struggling to do, this week I am giving up dairy. I am beginning to wonder if dairy is bothering me...we shall see
Week 5 Challenges - this week I'm just going to keep it simple. Simple low carb meals, get my steps in, do some yoga! Just stay on track!
Week 6 Challenge - just stay on plan on Thursday! Keep my carbs as low as I can!
Week 7 Challenge - Now is the count down to Christmas and the end of the year. I need to stop bouncing all over the place and start moving downwards! This week is to stay consistent with food and exercise and water! Thursday! Keep my carbs as low as I can!
Week 8 Challenge - KEEP TRYING!
Repeat week 8 1 -
No change this week. Still on vacation so i'll take it!
Home by the weekend when i'll be back to trying to lose.
Have a great week!2 -
Challenge SW 163; CW 157.8; new GW for end of year 155.
Last December I was at my lowest in several decades, having lost nearly 60 pounds. I've kept all but 10 of that off, so I am very happy with that. I bought a warm new coat last year and I refuse to grow out of it. That helps keep me on track, its cold here and I gave away all of my bigger coats.
I still do best when I plan and track my food, mfp really helps, so does my habit tracker. I finally realize I find it much easier to keep track and get on the scale, instead of not knowing and feeling out of control.
Thanks again Carlsoda for organizing, and to everyone for posting on the challenge. It helps me to read how you are doing. Inspiring! We deserve to take care of and love ourselves!2 -
I haven't checked-in in a while... oops
SW:220ish
10/25/18: 218.2
11/20/18: 217.4
12/04/18: 219.2
12/10/18: 213.8
GW: 165
Challenge Goal Weight: 205
I don't think I will make my goal of 205, but I'm going to keep trying -anything under 210 would be a big win for me anyways!
The habits i need to work on for this week are 1. meal prep 2. logging everything 3. DRINK WATER!2 -
I’m back after a two week break 😅 well kinda I’ve been consistent just not here ! Well I’m weighing in at 138 -2 pounds from my challenge goal weight!

Well...not much progress on the weight side of things, but boy I have been eating super good now for the last 7 weeks. No bingeing on sugary/carby foods at all. And my consumption of diet pop has dropped! I still enjoy a natural sugar free cola flavored beverage (zevia), but hardly any diet pepsi with the bad artificial sweeteners in it. So I'm calling this a huge win for me!
Two more weeks of weigh in's and I'll set you free What are you plans to get through the holidays? I'm working on mine this week and will be baking healthy and unhealthy treats next weekend with the grandkids. Healthy for me & hubs to eat, unhealthy (sugar cookies) for the kiddos!

Sugary sodas or subs have always been a problem for me. I Suggest trying stevia and fresh lemon in water. Cheaper than zevia and just as good.
Thankyou for hosting carlsoda

Hey all , another week down ! We are getting so close to the end of the year 😱 anyway I’ve been eating close to maintenance; however I’m still losing weight. About a pound a week. I’m guessing MFP is underestimating my workout calories. I’m 137 and my ultimate goal weight is 135.

GOAL FOR THIS WEEK: hitting protein goals, I’ve been missing on that macro lately2 -
Great job @Liftinglex and @butters1 - I am so happy for both of you!! What a way to celebrate the holiday season with family!!
This week has been crazy for me, between eating out at a pancake house for a work breakfast and a lunch at work yesterday with <<gasp>> amazing cookies, I haven't been as good as I should be, but I also haven't been bad either compared to years past. I'm still so impressed with the change in me. This weekend I'll be making dozens of cookies to decorate with my grandkids on Monday plus I'm making some low carb cookies for me and the hubs. We'll see where I am on Monday morning, but either way I'm just impressed with the change in my mindset. How many years did this take - too many!!
With the upcoming holidays I want to remind you to make sure you slow down and take some time for yourself. You are just as important as everyone else!
Great job everyone!!!1 -

Not t I bad this week, just a tiny gain but I have also had more treats than I normally do. Goal for our last weigh in … stay the same!
Merry Christmas!2 -
Starting weight: 153
Current weight: 148
While my goal weight was 145, and I don't think I'll reach that in the next week, I'm still pretty proud of myself. I've lost 5 pounds during the holiday season! I've just got to keep this up, another week and a half and we'll be out of the temptation time of year.2 -

Almost made it! A couple of things I have figured out: daily yoga mixed with steps helps a lot, no dairy, I think it causes inflammation in my body. Other than those two changes, nothing else has really changed. I have been a lot more consistent not eating any treats or sugar, just occasionally like Christmas Day 😂
I wish you all a very Happy New Year and hope you all hit your goals for 2019!2 -
Thank you @carlsoda!
Happy New Year! Nice job!1 -
Happy new year and thank you for your encouragement.
Start weight: 153
End weight: 147
That's 6 pounds lost during the holiday season. That's weight lost even after movie theater popcorn and champagne yesterday. Did I mention my Mr. gave me new 5lb hand weights for Christmas? Lovely coated weights with no rust like the ones in the basement.
My New Year Resolution: Use my new weights at least 3 times a week.1 -
Happy new year everyone! Thank you Carlsoda for this challenge, it helped. SW 163, CW 159.6 so down 3.4 pounds over the 12 weeks. Went pretty off the rails the last 2 weeks. Then I came to my senses two days ago, and am back on to a very healthy approach. Overall, I am amazed and relieved I am not heavier. I can still zip up my "slim" winter coat but have worried the zipper will break
It's good I am back on track! Best wishes all. 0
