Facts: age: 61, female, 5'3"
Highest weight: 198 (decades ago ... )
Current weight: 131.2
Lowest weight: 122 (a year ago now -- felt great!!)
Goal weight: anything under 125! I feel so close!

Starting weight last round (70): 134.8 -3.6 change! I credit poweryoga (KILLER sessions) and mindful eating MOST of the time

3/14 - 131.2 -- Had a great round last time, even with a few "bumps." That's life! I'm breaking back into the 120's this round -- there is a weekend trip to NYC next weekend, and I will need a cushion!

3/15 -- 131.2 -- no change. Weekend and St. Pat's Day ... there will be Guinness... but the good news is that while I love it, I only sip it (kind of like wine!). One will last me a whole night! But first, power yoga!

Round #5 for me.

I'm following a 1000 calorie diet for over 5 weeks now! Lost some weight during the first 3 rounds but not as much as I expected and the last round was Disappointing for me. I gained .6 lbs .. Still hanging in there and on to the next round. Got some great advice from other members here and will make some changes this round hoping for weight loss this time..

Sw: 199 lbs
CW: 196.5
GW: 130 lbs


Round 67: SW:199 lbs EW 197.5 ( -1.5 lbs)
Round 68: SW 197.5 EW 196.2 ( -1.3 lbs)

Round 70: SW 195.9 EW 196.5 (+ .6 Lbs)

You may not be eating enough. If I eat less than 1,200 calories I tend to gain weight. Good luck!

Thank you for your comment. I'm trying this round the 5:2 diet, where I'm eating free for five days of the week (up to 1700 calories) and the other two days restrict calories to 500–600 per day. Hope Ill see good results this round. Thanks again;;

Round 71: SW 188.0 lb

Goal for the challenge: hit my water goal of 88+ oz a day. ( - /10)

I am a 50 year old 5'5" woman. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.

I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. I have been participating in this challenge since Round 40 My average loss/gain since Round 40 to 63 is a 0.5lb loss each round. This was better than I expected!

********LOOK AND SEE HOW MUCH THESE 10 DAY CHALLENGES HAVE HELPED ME********


Day/Weight/Comment
03/13 …..186.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

03/14 …..185.8 ….. Nice to see a drop again. Like some of the others I feel very sore from a lot of the exercise. I may decrease the amounts today and allow a little rest to these old bones & muscles. I will spend the time prep cooking for my freezer. I may skip going to the potluck/pool hall that I attend on Thursdays. We will see. Yesterdays stats: 1089 Calories In / 2795 calories out. 12 Net Carbs mostly in veggies. 21,329 Total Steps & 9.03 Total Miles. I wanted to IF 12:12 (two week metabolism reset plan) but found that I’m just too busy at my planned starting time due to my work schedule. Today I will attempt again but at a bit of a later starting time. My IF yesterday was 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I charged my Fitbit while sleeping so no exact tracking on sleep, but my best clock estimate was just over 5 hours. I walked 112 minutes inside the school and danced for 51 minutes on my make-believe dance floor in my livingroom. Sample Song “Everyday People” by Sly & the Family Stone. Good luck this round everyone. I have read all the posts in this new round up until my own & you guys have already put me in a motivated and terrific mood. I feel empowered! Thanks Everyone!

03/15 …..185.6 ….. I skipped the pool hall & potluck last night & focused on the flooding in our area. Because my home is on a slab, the danger of it getting into my house is real so I bailed water until 4:00 a.m. It also rained & that was not helping. I have a new ground drain outside but it is frozen over or buried so I could not find it. Today will also be challenging. I hope to find it before I travel this week or I will come home to a sunken ship! We still have about 8 inches of snow across the grass & large hills along the sidewalks & driveways. Sunny days are causing the meltdown. If it is not too sunny today I would like to get down to the school to walk again. Yesterday’s stats: 1054 Calories In / 2145 Calories Out. 13 Net Carbs. 16,275 Total Steps & 6.89 Miles. IF 12:12 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 33 minutes and was up early to start bailing the water. I am very angry right now that my husband died on me 3 years ago. I walked a short walk of 11 minutes & I danced for 33 minutes. Sample song “Faith” by George Michael. Have a great weekend everyone. And please, stop one moment & say a prayer that I find that ground drain & get it unfrozen & drinking in the water & melting snow.

03/16 ….. …..
