Excited for another round. My goals for this round are to continue to log accurately, and to get into the normal weight range for the BMI. I am so close! 143 would put me at the top of the that range.

CamandJarvis · June 2023

Posting for accountability: I ran. I ran the whole thing without stopping though there were points I was probably "running" slower than I could speed walk. My knees were absolutely not having it today. And I felt nauseous from 7minutes onward, particularly whenever I'd attempt to speed up to my normal pace.

But it is done and I'm thankful for it.

tishawj · June 2023

Hello! New month...new round! I need to really work on consistency with tracking...EVERYDAY! It's tricky with being back and forth to my parents' place, which will continue this month. We leave for a big family trip to England and Scotland in 39 days and I would really like to be down to 160 by then so I don't need to worry about vacation gain taking me back up into the 170s, I never want to see them again. BUT...I seem to be stuck in a rut the last two weeks losing and gaining the same two pounds...bouncing up and down between 165 and 167. Time to break through that! Hoping my Dog Walk Challenge for the Canadian Cancer Society will get me out walking twice a day. Here's to keepin' on keepin' on!!

Female - 51yrs - 5.5"
Goal Weight - to hang out somewhere 145-150
R224 End weight - 167.2

6/1 - 166.6 - still in the 166 rut. We start our 50km Dog Walk Challenge for the month of June today. Hoping to get in a 4km hike this morning and then out for another 2ishkm tonight. Mack and I plan to blow past 50km and hopefully double it.

Hi, I'm Amanda in Virginia. I'm back from vacation and motivated to make June a good month!

Round 225
RSW: 128.8!!!
RGW: 125 (looks ambitious but I'm hoping that at least a little of the weight is water from eating out a ton over the past week)
Non-scale RG:
⏰Intermittent fast at least 16 hours 7/10 days
💪🏻Intentional workouts 8/10 days
🚫Alcohol-free 5/10 days
(Tracking non-scale goals for the previous day)

6/1 - ⏰💪🏻🚫 124.4! Man, that was a lot of water. 4.4 pounds?! I peed hourly yesterday and a couple times during the night. Amazing what excessive sodium and carbs can make us hold on to! I found out yesterday that my job has a program that gives us free premium membership to some fitness apps, including MyFitnessPal! So after wasting a year not knowing that, I upgraded yesterday. The main feature I wanted was the intermittent fasting timer. I finished a big project at work yesterday and I’m going to reward myself with a good workout today, but I haven’t decided what. Maybe some strength training and a jog with the dogs.

Hi, I'm Charissa - Round 225

Thank you, again, QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!

Starting Comments

Round 224 was ok. It was a challenging month with my husband having surgery but he's on the mend and it's time to refocus. I went up a bit but nothing to get overly excited about.

I am a self-proclaimed procrastinator. I set goals to be under 200 by 6/17 - then in my mind I changed it to the time I went on my July trip (7/5). I'm not there and it's highly unlikely that I will make it BUT>>>> I can get really close if I focus during the month of June! So here's goes!!!

Doing the math - June fit's nicely with 3 10 days challenges
15 (weight to lose to hit 199)/30 days = .5 per day * 10 = 5.00 per challenge
Challenge Goal - 5.00lbs or Weight of 209.
Aggressive - yes and I will be happy and consider it a win if I lose at least half.
Goal: 209 - will be happy with 211.5, ecstatic with anything between 209 and 211🙂

Projection/Actual
6/1 214 /214.2 (+0.2/+0.2) ~ Wrong direction but should be able to easily correct <fingers crossed>. 45 minutes on the treadmill and then will walk at least 30 at lunch. Exercise makes me feel like my body is burning more calories/fat.

SW Round 225

SW: 129.0
Round Goals: 🥗🌳 Nature walk every day. Eat a salad every day.🌳🥗 No alcohol two days in a row. And log here everyday, even if only to share a check mark on the day.

Established habits to maintain: No ultra-processed food, fast food, dairy in any form, or added sugar (unless it's a special occasion and the treat is really worth it). Minimize alcohol and maximize water and tea. Yes to whole foods, plant based, and dishes and treats that are truly comforting for my emotions AND my body that's tied up with them.

GW: 127.0 I think I can reasonably make it two pounds down this round if I really try without letting it stress me out. I've been maintaining at 129 without much effort so that is really encouraging to me that I've gotten good at maintaining and my new lifestyle is finally a healthy one that is pleasurable, sustainable, and most importantly, not stressful.

6/1 128.2 Today marks 7 days of daily nature walks and day 3 of a salad everyday. I'm loving the walking. I'm disliking salad less than before so that's progress. I had mimosas for dessert last night which were so delicious and refreshing. To help me remember that alcohol should be limited always and not just when trying to lose weight I'm instituting a no drinking two days in a row policy. Sometimes I'll go all week without one but sometimes I'll find myself drinking every night again. I don't want to have to quit alcohol for a month again to break the habit so the new rule is to help me keep it from becoming habit. Alcohol should be a treat when consumed responsibly, right? And I would be healthier abstaining completely but I'm not interested in conquering that right now. I am treating it like a birthday cake in the freezer. I'll have a small slice when I want it but to keep it from becoming a daily habit I'll make myself take a night off from having a slice. It's not going bad in the fridge. Maybe that'll turn into every third night, fourth night, once a week? We'll see. I know I feel better when it's a treat and not an expectation.

To help me remember that alcohol should be limited always and not just when trying to lose weight I'm instituting a no drinking two days in a row policy. Sometimes I'll go all week without one but sometimes I'll find myself drinking every night again. I don't want to have to quit alcohol for a month again to break the habit so the new rule is to help me keep it from becoming habit. Alcohol should be a treat when consumed responsibly, right? And I would be healthier abstaining completely but I'm not interested in conquering that right now. I am treating it like a birthday cake in the freezer. I'll have a small slice when I want it but to keep it from becoming a daily habit I'll make myself take a night off from having a slice. It's not going bad in the fridge. Maybe that'll turn into every third night, fourth night, once a week? We'll see. I know I feel better when it's a treat and not an expectation.

I like this approach to drinking. It's soo easy to fall into a nightly drinking habit. Then when I try to limit the number of days I drink I overdo it on the days I do drink, almost like a reward for not drinking the day(s) before. Stupid. I may consider your no-two-days-in-a-row approach. Right now I'm just trying to not drink 5/10 nights of the challenge which would embarrassingly be a huge improvement. Hope your method works well for you!

Just a retired 64 years young gal from Oregon, looking to be 15 pounds lighter and a bit less lumpy in my clothes! I am also doing intermittent fasting and would like to take a page out of Amanda’s goal plans to only do alcohol 5/10 days (or less).

Started off the last round strong and ended kind of dismally. This time I will do better! I won't weigh everyday as I tend to get in my head, but I'll keep tabs with the group.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Lessons Learned for maintenance: 1) exercise at least 30 minutes five {5} days a week 2) try to walk no less than 10,000 steps a day 3) If/when my weight creeps up (116.5-117.1 LBS) increase the incline on the treadmill and add a burst of running to routine 4) eat a low-calorie salad before eating dinner 5) limit fried, breaded, and salty food 6) continue to add ice cubes to my daily 5 oz glass of wine 7) eat fish for dinner at least 2 times a week 8) eight to nine hours of sleep a night 9) Of the 64oz of water daily-drink 8oz of water a half hour before each meal 10) three (3) meals a day and 1-2 small snacks, nothing after dinner.

I'm writing these tips down!

My goal for this round is to just keep showing up and posting here. I did well last round to get back in track but I have been losing focus and dropping out during the last few rounds. I know if I don't post I will gain. I still have around 1 pound to lose to get back to my lowest weight recorded during these challenges so that will be my goal for this round. I will certainly think twice before taking a diet break next time!

SW Round 225 - 169.8

6/1 169.8 - I didn't update the last few days of the last round. I got lazy. I still went to the gym, but my sessions weren't very motivated. I was in a slump. I did get a good walk in at lunch today. Check in yesterday with my weight loss Dr. She said since my weight has been hovering around the same spot the last few months, that she just wants me to focus on maintaining for the next month and not necessarily losing so my body can adjust to the weight I have lost and "reset" and then work at losing again. She still wants me to maintain my gym sessions and calorie counting but focus on being fit and not so focused on losing. I have 19.8 lbs to hit my ultimate goal and I've been getting discouraged. Maybe this is the reset that I need to get my motivation back. I know the closer I get to my goal, the slower the weight loss will be. I ate like complete crap yesterday and my weight dropped today. I was shocked! LOL I was expecting the scale to yell WTF at me!

I plan to log in and fill out my diary daily and also have some type of exercise every day even when I'm taking a rest day from the gym

6/1
Logged everything and worked in the school garden for an hour weeding and pulling down vines. Making progress!

5/31 81 kg = up 0.5 kg since last weigh in. Boo! Hiss! My plan is to cut out snacks between meals and be ultra scrupulous about tracking.
SW Round 225
6/1 Cos it's already the start of the month where I am. 80.5 kg - poop! poop! eat lots of fiber! - TMI!
6/2 80.3 kg. Not sure of 100% accuracy of scale as it is analog, but I'm too environmentally conscious (and too cheap!) to splash out for a new digital scale. Also SOMEONE keeps shifting the position of the scale, so I keep trying to get it back to the same spot on the bathroom floor. Also I went for a 2 hour walk, which burned up 400 calories, but I only ate an extra 200 over my 1240 limit. The walk was a double bonus because I found a total of .60 cents (.37 US cents) think I'll keep a little jar of all the money I find and buy myself a little reward at the end of the challenge.
