10 pounds to lose challenge- May 1, 2025-July 31, 2025

Highest weight : 206 lbs. Summer of 2023 . I post this for my benefit, to show me how far I've come. I want to keep staying positive, even though I want to keep losing pounds fast, but that's not always possible.

5/2 168.9

5/7 169.1

5/16 170

I observed my colleagues today at a meeting. Some had "protein shakes" for lunch. I was thinking of maybe changing my lunch to a protein drink. I am at a plateau for months. I have to change it up. Because what I've been doing has not produce a loss in pounds. The body can be so stubborn and complacent. And as many of us know, it is so hard to lose after menopause. But it is possible. I love sharing this journey with you! ◡̈

I've lost 36 pounds in the last few years, and I feel really good. However, I know that when I'm in my 150s, I feel strong and healthy.

Today is my first time in re joining this platform. 10 Ibs is doable for me in this challenge. I'm 44 years old. I'm 4 ft 8 inches and weigh 236 Ibs. I can't believe the last time I weighed in here was YEARS AGO at 217 😲😱 😲!

Just post when you want. Some people post once a week or more often. It's really up to you.

My goal weight may seem like a lot, but I will be alcohol-free (AF) tomorrow. Usually, the weight starts falling off after I quit drinking and start eating healthy again. I've been drinking between 900 and 1700 calories a day (just in alcohol). So, that will really make a big difference. Plus, I'll start being able to be more active and start adding in some exercise. Slowly at first. But, eventually walking, light strength training and my floor exercises.

5/17/2025: 205 lbs

These last two weeks of "maintenance' (hahaha) have been a disaster for me. I immediately slipped into the same bad habits. I didn't weigh this week. Today is my DAY #1 getting back at it. I weigh in on Fridays. Just putting it in black and white helps me.

Good luck everybody. I'm so glad you're all here.

Down 1.5 lbs thus far in this current challenge. 207.5 to 206.0 this morning. I’ve been doing yard work/gardening like crazy so sore today (not as dory as I used to be but so grateful for my physical capabilities!). Still chipping away at weight loss. ❤️
