    Hi, my name is Jenn and I am 39. I'm back for another round. The last one was not one of my best ones, only lost 3.5 pounds. With all of the holidays and vacations I bounced around the same 10 pounds. My lowest was 148 something and my highest was 157 something. So a new challenge and a new start! My second oldest will be graduating in May and its also my anniversary month so I want to be well in the 140's and hopefully below 145!

    Weigh in days will be Friday
    Challenge Starting Weight ~ 3/20 151.8 my ending weight in the autumn challenge
    Challenge Goal Weight ~ 140

    March 21, 2019 ~ 150.9 nice drop for the first day of a new challenge! 10.9 pounds to go!

    3/29 ~ 150.1 was hoping to get out of the 150's but I am still here!

    March EW: 150.1 Lost .8 pounds (10.1 pounds left)

    April 5, 2019 ~ 148.1 loving this! staying focused this time and really trying to get below 145.
    4/12 ~ 148.8 up just a bit this week, but had dinner out last night and a couple of beers
    4/19 ~ 151.9 first day back from vacation. Was gone 5 days and didn't do terrible. Kinda of impressed with myself.
    4/26 ~ 147.6 Good week so far. Luckily most of last week was water weight and sodium from vacation. Hopefully May will be a little better, but happy with April's progress.

    3/20/19-goal of 210# reached (2nd time getting to 210#).

    March 22, 2019 ~209.2#
    3/29/19= 209#. It was a bad couple of days to end my week. Still down 0.2#. I'll take it!

    April 5, 2019=205.6#. Down 3.4#.
    4/12 204.2#. Down 1.4#.
    04/13/19 202.6#. I see a new future of new low weights! I was 201.3# on 6/21/13 when I started MFP. I am 1.3# away from that number. I am very excited! It has been too long that I have been under 200#. I had always sworn that I would NEVER be over 200# and that I would starve myself if needed. Well a new scale was bought and immediately I was 205#. That was around 16 years ago that I first saw that big number. Little did I know that I would see a pregnancy weight of 264# or my heaviest non pregnancy weight of 236.8#. I am feeling so much better! God has truly answered my prayers and has motivated me to do something about my weight. Over a year ago I was blessed with food allergies. But I have now realized how much better I can feel when I am eating right and not eating all the processed I used to be eating. I hope eventually I will learn to like cooking, I look forward to that day. But so far, I have made changes I can live with. I plan to keep this up after Lent also. I haven't felt this good for YEARS!
    4/19/19 203.6# down 0.6#. Not down as far as I would have liked, but my last 2 days have been terrible.
    4/26/19 204.4# up 0.8#.

    When do you take your apple cider vinegar? In the morning as an overall supplement or with meals to help minimize carbs within the meal? If you take it with meals, do you take it just before, during or just afterward? I am never sure which is best and I've seen conflicting opinions. I know you usually do your research very well on everything, so I would love your opinion on which is best.

    @deepwoodslady, Donna, I take 1 TBS of organic ACV in 16ozs water first thing each morning. I've been doing that for over 30 years. I can't remember why I started drinking it, but I was eating low carb. I would suggest drinking it before you eat or make it into a salad dressing. Before I started drinking it that's how I used it, but I did have an acidic drink in the morning, lemon juice in water. I've read that taking it at night, an hour before bedtime is beneficial for lowering blood sugar. It's also said to aid in cleansing of the liver, reversing fatty liver disease.

    This past fall and winter, I made a warming drink of green tea, acv, cinnamon, ground ginger and cayenne. It did warm me up and seemed to help break up sinus mucus.

    @tiabirdie56 Thanks for the info. I used to drink warm lemon water in the morn & somehow drifted off it. I think maybe I can drink some ACV in the morn for gut health & perhaps with carby meals to offset blood sugar. Even a little at night too. I only use Dr. Bragg's which, thankfully, is available at my local grocery store.
