Starting Weight February 15: 135.6 February 22: 134.0 (down 1.6) March 1: 132.6 (down 1.4) March 8: 131.6 (down 1) March 15: March 22: March 29: April 5: April 12: April 19: Easter: Goal Weight for Challenge: 125.6 Ultimate Goal Weight by June 1: 118-120

I’ve been intermittent fasting! I’ve found if I don’t eat breakfast I don’t eat as much throughout the day. I’m actually more alert, too! I prefer big lunches or dinners so this cuts on calories to allow me to do this! Somehow having a 200 calorie bagel made me more hungry by 10 AM then eating nothing. Weird!

I hear you. I’m 132 right now fighting to get to 118 eventually. I’m 5’4’’. My calories are at 1350 but I try to do a few 1200 days through the week. My weight loss has definitely slowed down.

I am 132.0 but started at 146.0 January 1. I’ve been on 1350 calories a day. I am 5’4’’. I know 1600 wasn’t quite aggressive enough for me but I’m also not super active.

I totally agree! This is the first time I’ve ever tried to lose weight JUST limiting calories and not planned working out and I’ve lost 14 pounds since January 1! Simply counting calories. Having more success than my usual work out and “diet”. About half way there!

You already weigh so little. I’m 132.8 and pretty much have to stick 1200 rather than the 1500 you mention to keep losing weight. And I’m only losing 0.5-1 per week now.

@chulipa I just copy my message with stats from the week before and update the new date! Or you could “quote” your previous post?

As long as we make up for it Monday-Thursday hahahahaha

@beebva4 I like to weigh myself before going into the weekend haha!

Fridays are my weigh in day! Happy first week of our challenge! Starting Weight February 15: 135.6 February 22: 134.0 (down 1.6) March 1: March 8: March 15: March 22: March 29: April 5: April 12: April 19: Easter: Goal Weight for Challenge: 125.6 Ultimate Goal Weight by June 1: 118-120

Please feel free to post progress!!!! I am going to use Friday as my weigh in day but this thread can be used however helps YOU!!!!! Maybe post your starts from the previous weeks if you want for motivation for yourself and others!

This isn’t the answer you were probably expecting, but my bank account looks better now that I am eating out less!

I’ve lost 12 pounds since January 1 but I’m almost certain the first 6 were waterweight as I dropped those sooo fast and now I am only losing a pound per week. Which I am okay with since I’m only 15 away from my goal of 118. So I wouldn’t expect the same rate as your first few weeks.

1) Loving food made me about 5 pounds over weight 2) Going through depression the last year made me 15 pounds over weight About 15 more pounds to get to my goal weight of 118. I know I can do it if I keep at it!

Hahahaha I was thinking the same thing! Just a tan!

Thanks to everyone who has expressed interest in participating! I’ll post a reminder to update your progress on Friday! Not going to lie... I REALLY want my leftover dinner that’s in the fridge right now, but I know it will be there tomorrow, and I also know I’ve met my calories for the day! To pass the time until weigh in…

While working out is great, it’s all about the calories! I’ve “dieted” and tried to lose weight on and off all through my 20’s (recently turned 30!) and I used to focus 50% on working out and 50% focus on diet. This time I’m pretty much focusing 99% of my energy on what I eat and I am having WAY more success. It’s easier…

I am 5’4’’ and currently 135. I want to get to at least 120 but 115-118 would be amazing. Seems at my 1 pound per week weight loss rate that this will take forever.... or at least 20 weeks! I started at 146 January 1.

Excited to say it’s nearly Valentine’s Day and I reached my goal! Yay!! Here’s to the next ten pounds!

I always have a few days in the lower direction then jump up above those low points for two to three days then an ultimate low again. Pattern keeps continuing!

2019 SW: 146 lbs UWG: 118-120 lbs lbs to go: 15 lbs _______________________________________________________________________ Jan 31st: 138 lbs Feb 1st: 137.8 lbs Feb 4th: 137.6 lbs Feb 10th: 135.6 lbs Feb 18th: Feb 25th: February Goal: 134 lbs (-3.8lbs)

Our challenge is almost over! Who is going to start the next one and what’s our big goal date?! I’m pumped to say I started January 2 at 146. Today I weigh 135.6 so I made my goal a few days early!!!!! I think the first few pounds were water weight but I’ll take it! Need another 10 pound challenge as I’m trying to get to…

Wow! You’ve lost a lot since the beginning of this year!

Love this! I never considered the importance of logging once reaching my goal. I’m sure that’s crucial.

I’m doing it right now. I eat 11-7 everyday. But as other posters are saying, you still have to stay within your calories. It helps prevent me from large breakfasts and late night snacking. For whatever reason, the “IF” guidelines keep me more disciplined than just knowing to eat within my calories 🤷‍♀️

This was happening to me. I was in the 137’s for a week and most of that was going up the whole week. Then I went from 137.4 to 136.0 and then 135.6 the next day! I’m not sure I buy into the “whoosh” theory as I’ve seen conflicting research on that but looking at my data I HAVE noticed having a pattern of stalls and then…

Once in the morning and once at night. Religiously. This has helped me see trends throughout the day based on what I eat. If I start to get discouraged when weight loss slows I’ll back down. I should add I use trending apps so that I don’t get discouraged if it’s up.

Updated stats Just a check in for my own sanity! 1/2/2019: 146.0 1/8/2019: 143.6 1/17/2019: 142.2 1/22/2019: 141.0 1/30/19: 138.0 2/7/19: 136.8 GW by 2/14 is 136 GW by June 1 is 118-120

Haha no sadly! Sorry! I’m a teacher and busy!!! I need to look into the fat intake... via macros?
