    As many of you know I am in the Hogwarts challenge and love it. I tried the Biggest Loser Challenge the last round. It's a lot less intense than the Hogwarts challenge, but I really liked it too - (so much that I became a co-captain of the Desert Tortoises - YIKES). The next round starts on August 25, and runs 12 weeks. If you are looking for something to keep you motivated, I think it helps a lot. Here's the link to join if you are interested.

    Despite the added activity, I keep hovering around my start weight. Probably still ingesting too much carbs and will have to try decreasing stress levels. Hoping for the best!

    I’ve been eating a ton of vegetables out of the garden which took me out of Ketosis. I also binged on frozen strawberries and milk a couple times. Delicious!! I think my increased weight is due to water fluctuations. Still feeling great.

    Hello Friends. I am pleased that the weight is finally coming off. I’m really working brutally hard at it. I’m a bit surprised that my clothes don’t appear to be fitting any looser though. I thought 12-15 lbs would have me at a size smaller, but that doesn’t seem to be the case thus far. I will continue to do my best to stay on track. This is important to me.

    Fooshki: you are on a roll, keep it up!
    illusent: stay the course. You are doing an amazing job!
    denanowotny: I think you may be onto something with your last comment. It’s their issue though, not yours. Awesome progress!
    takinitalloff: Congratulations on your latest milestone. You are doing a wonderful job! The 230’s are right around the corner.

    My name is Donna. I am 63 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.


    CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 12 pounds to land at 186.2
    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM June 30th): 198.2
    CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT:


    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s

    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.


    07/01-197.8-(Trend Weight: 197.4)-

    07/03-196.6-(Trend Weight: 197.4)-

    07/24-193.8-(Trend Weight: 196.5)-

    07/31-193.8-(Trend Weight: 195.4)-

    July Start: 198.2
    July Goal: (4 pound loss): 194.2
    July Actual: 193.8

    Cumulative Weight Loss so Far: 4.4 lbs Lost (for the challenge total)


    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change


    08/01-193.6-(Trend Weight: 195.2)-

    08/07-195.8-(Trend Weight: 195.6)- This has not been a good week obviously. It contained 3 bad days: One day of travel, One day of a festival and One day of Bingeing. Day 3 was really just a craving fest after two days prior of being off plan. It’s really just easier to stick with the plan. I’m back on track now. The scale actually rose higher and I’m getting it back down but I have my work cut out for me. I just need to believe in myself and make my actions speak louder than my words.

    08/14-194.2-(Trend Weight: 195.1)- Prep cooking and pre-logging helped. But I know I could have done even better. I saw a lower drop than an increase back up to this. I must not give into temptations and I need to remember that all those foods will still be available when I’ve reached my goal. Hopefully then, better habits will be in place, less cravings, more control, better working body in regards to diabetes fat storage etc. etc. Yes, it will all still be available later, I don’t need to eat it right now. I don’t expect a worldwide famine anytime soon.

    My weight loss has slowed down because I added in a water fitness class. Getting a lot more movement, and building some muscle underneath all that blubber :D I can feel myself getting stronger and trimmer.

    @Illusent @denanowotny @Juslilly Awesome job everyone! Keep it up B) and Dena... if there's one good reason to go out of ketosis, it's veggies fresh from the garden! Enjoy it while summer lasts.

    No exceptions. No excuses. 🥑

    Thank you Jeda for continuing to post these challenges. You always give me hope.

    I’m 76, from B.C. Canada. Have a terrible track record of never completing these challenges but committing to this one. My Life Goal is to remain fit and active well into my 80's. I love nature walks, kayaking and biking but recent arthritic and other muscle issues have been a challenge. Allowed “life” and other obstacles ( habitual procrastinator ) to interfere with a great event I’d registered for but had to withdraw from. Recognizing that I can’t ‘push through’ like I used to be able to do even 8 years ago has been hard.

    My highest wt was 183; two years ago I managed to get down to 156, but then a slow backslide began. April of this year I saw 173.6 ☹ . Currently yo-yoing in the mid 160’s; Wt Loss Goal for this challenge is to lose 10 lbs and return to 156.
    SP highest wt: 183
    MFP: Joined June 2021, 175lbs.
    Challenge Starting Wt: 166
    Challenge Goal: 155

    July 3: 166
    July 10: 167.6
    July 17: 168.6; July 19th recognized that long term use of MiO water flavorer was causing inflammation which was the cause of total body aches and pains & stiffness ( hard to bend to touch the floor).
    July 24: 167
    July 31: 171

    July Goal: 162
    July Actual: 171
    July Loss: 5# gain ☹

    August 7: 169.4
    August 14: 172! no comment, just going to keep on trying to get this backslide reversed.; adding strength exercises.
