15 pounds to lose challenge February 1-May 1, 2022

Round 3 for me! I think I was 149-150 at the start of this. This round I’m treating myself like a scientific Guinea pig project using the free National Institutes of Health “Body Weight Planner”. .
Goal: reach about 126 129.5 lbs this round, stay with my plant-based diet, keep using weights, and lower my cholesterol in the process.
Feb 1 - 136
Feb 7 - 135.5 (-0.5)
Feb 14 - 135 (-0.5) Guess this is ‘mode operand' for now. According to the NIH site, I should be about 134.5. So, I’d like to lose a full pound this coming week.
Feb 21- 134 (-1) Yay! Worked hard for that one. Feb 28
Feb 28 - 133 (-1)
Total Loss for February -3
March 7 - 132.5 (- 0.5)
March 14 - 132.5 (-0)
March 21 - 132 (-0.5) Looks like a bit of a plateau. . .
March 28 - 131.5 (-0.5) This is slow going at this point! Still doing “ok” on my eating plan. But I’ve started falling into some old, unhealthy habits. 1. Not drinking enough H2O. 2. The weather is finally turning nicer and I’ve found myself sitting on the deck in the evening with a cocktail in my hand a few nights. So, this week I better head off that indulgence.

Had 17,000 steps today; we are on a beach vacation. It's so enjoyable to exercise when you're on vacation. We also have been eating salads for dinner with grilled shrimp. Little by little we are saving some calories.9

Two scales give me different weights. I can't get to gym scale daytime until weekend. Will update Friday or Saturday morning.
I'm not expecting much loss as I'm coming off shark week and had mad cravings for chocolate. I've identified many cases of stomach pains that weren't hunger and toughen it out. But was generally eating within maintaince calories.
My mind is so preoccupied with work, that I have opportunity to clean up my routine and stay within deficit.
Only motivated to keep going cause fast loss = fast rebound for me. I'm working on changing habits too.7 -

So happy to see a decent loss 2 weeks in a row. I have been faithful to my diet, no sweets (except for a cupcake on my birthday) and staying within calories (except my one "cheat meal" per week). I worked out for 53 min on elliptical and 60 min weights today and have been consciously increasing my steps at work. I certainly won't hit that 15lb mark by the end of the challenge but maybe 6-8lbs is a little more realistic at this point.8 -
