20 pounds to lose challenge April 1-July 31

celticstar0610 · April 2021

Count me in. I started 01MAR21 at 222 lbs and this AM I was 212.8. 20 pounds gone by 31JUL is doable. I've a crazed work schedule as a flight attendant so I'll be weighing in on as many Monday mornings as possible. I've been faithfully journaling my food and blogging my mental processes which are as important as portion control. I'm also using Modere Trim which has CLA which helps with belly fat which is my bane. NSV is as important as a number on a scale. I want to be able to wear my wedding band by the end of the year. SW=222/CW= 212/GW(for 31JUL) = 192/FG= 142(hopefully by 01MAR22

@Whatsthemotive My daughter also lives in London and I want to look my best when we finally get to see her once we are all out of Covid Hell. I HOPE it's this year!

You and me both. My daughter married in May of 19. She moved in December of 19. It took a while for her visa to come through. She moved just after my mother’s funeral. I miss my mother and my daughter. Thank goodness for What’s app. And thank goodness younger sister is in the U S with me.

My original fitness goal was 5000 steps per day but I have increased it to 10,000 steps 5 times a week which I achieved this week. Today is my less active day. Every time I get my period i plateau so I plateaued a few days ago and went up a little today. I think I posted my goals yesterday but I am going to change my goal from 30lbs by July 31st to 25 since I keep plateauing. Fingers crossed!!! Anyway, sounds like you all are right on the ball and losing already. Congratulations!!!

Take care and stay healthy!!!

I am also trying to get back into a medium! 20 lbs is a great start. I definitely let COVID and a miscarriage throw me off

lesteja · April 2021

I'm hoping for 30 minutes of cardio + 30 minutes of strength training per day. Both in the early morning. Tracking food. Losing 1 lb per week at least by August.

For anyone looking for a good ice cream treat: they have Keto ice cream bars (literally called that) at Costco that are really good (sea salt caramel). With only 2 net carbs and only 1 gram of sugar.

I have been eating one per day so I dont feel totally deprived of fun foods and it sure does quell sugar cravings some how.

I am writing that one down!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

I hopped on the scale this morning; had my eyes closed and opened them hoping for a decent number. I actually lost weight on my vacation just a few ounces but still. I am relieved.
I am sure the weigh loss was due to excessive happy walking on the beach. Sometimes, I had 16,000 steps in a day. I wish I lived near the ocean!

Going to Easter lunch at my sister in laws. I'm contributing a fruit salad among other treats so I know I can at least eat that without guilt. Usually holidays I allow myself to indulge a bit. Since it's a late lunch I can skip dinner and hopefully not go completely off the rails. Happy Easter!

Hi everyone!

1 week in, and lost 0.5kg. At first, I was disappointed tbh. But then I realized that that's exactly what my MFG goals were set for! Funny!

Great idea on weight-in on Fridays, it helped keep me in check during the weekend.

SW:75.1kg
CW: 74.6kg
GW: 68kg

A few more brag points: did 10k steps 7 days in a row! Starting gym tomorrow.

Happy Easter to everyone celebrating!

RubyRed427 · April 2021

@makinica .5 kg is awesome! congrats on 10K per day for a week.

Happy Easter to all!

Happy Monday everyone...
Well, I weighed in today, Monday at 264, and will weigh in this Friday to see how I handle my eating habit over the weekend.

Moreover, I sit on a few Boards which are starting to do more in-person meetings and host functions, so I have to make adjustments for those meals and drinks during social engagements...I'm sure many of you are in the same situation.

SW: 306
CW: 264
GW: 245
TWL: 42 pounds

Have a great week!

We had a lovely Easter weekend! We swapped out our traditional turkey dinner for an outdoor wiener roast at the lake. Played some pickle ball and went for a nice long walk. I’m starting to think the big turkey dinner with all the high calorie fixings is over rated. It’s about the people not the meal! We had a lovely time while following all the Covid restrictions. This may lead to a new Easter family tradition!
