Lose 10 lbs in September Challenge

Down 3 pounds this week to 227! I have a new trainer at the gym and he has me on a slightly different diet. It's working apparently, but I am hungry lol. Let's hope I can keep it up. Good job so far everyone!

Great job everyone! Well...Nothing lost nothing gained. I remained at 208 this week. Hopefully the exercise challenge will get my weight moving downward next week!

Down one pound from 158lbs to 157lbs. Started the C25K this week along with Ab Ripper X and circuit training on days I wasn't running. Drinking TONS of water too

Feeling really bad this week - tired and overwhelmed. I managed to maintain, but exercise has been on the back burner. - I go to the doc on Monday to see if my hormones are still out of whack. Really dragging.

Hopefully next week will be better!

Look at all these losses! Way to go everyone!! Congrats, well deserved.

I've updated the spreadsheet. I am yet again at 160.2...been here since 8/14 or so and it's getting kind of old!!! LOL It's ok, I didn't gain anything...and I feel great. AND...I bought size 10 pants this week! :-) all is good, screw the scale!

LOL. That will be the quote of the week: "SCREW THE SCALE." Love it!

I need to do this! Count me in, and please keep me accountable!

Omg you all are so awesome!!! :DD Every single one of you are truly an inspiration and seeing all of this amazing weight loss pushes me to continue each day. Keep up the amazing losses, we can all do this!!! Great job and huge congrats to everyone! :flowerforyou:

Marinade:
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Freshly cracked pepper, to taste
1 lb flank steak, cut against grain into thin slices

Combine all of the marinade ingredients together in a bowl then mix well. Slice the steak, against the grain, into thin strips. Place the steak into the marinade and mix until the meat is evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 1-3 hours.

Korean Barbecue Dipping Sauce:
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 tsp sugar
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1/2 tsp sriracha chile sauce (more if you want it spicy)
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp green onion
1/2 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp water

Combine all ingredients together and mix well. Set aside to let the flavors mingle.


Other ingredients:
Butter lettuce leaves
Shredded carrot
Green onion, chopped
Brown rice, cooked per instructions

Cook the rice per instructions. Once the rice is cooked it's time to cook the beef.

Heat 1/2 tbsp of canola oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Once the pan is HOT add half of the beef and cook for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from heat and put into a serving dish. Coat the skillet with another 1/2 tbsp of canola oil and add the remaining beef once the pan is HOT again. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned.


For serving, place a bit of rice in a lettuce leaf followed by beef, carrots, and green onions. Drizzle a bit of the dipping sauce on top then fold and eat. Make sure you have plenty of napkins on hand because these are messy. Enjoy.
