Lost 18 lbs. & 6 inches in 8-weeks with the 5% Community Challenge

Go_Gal_Grow · March 8

After a very tough 2024, I told myself it's time to craft new health goals, it's time for a PIVOT.

I joined the 5% Community Challenge which started in January and ended today March, 8, 2025.

Here's How I Did:
SW: 203 lbs.
CW: 185 lbs.
Change +/- : -18 lbs.
Inches lost: 6 total inches (1 inch lost each Arm, 1 inch lost Hips, 2 inches lost Waist, 1/2 inch each Thigh - 6 total) *Research I've read, indicate weight loss in the Waist/Hips is likely Visceral Fat (the fat that surrounds your organs), as well as Subcutaneous Fat (the fat that is right under the skin's surface). Losing FAT is a WOOHOO, losing Visceral is a WOOHOO X 2!

My short term weight loss goal is to weigh 165lbs, I feel encouraged as an additional 20lbs loss from this point is very doable and I am planning to get to goal.
