  • @Dogmom1978 I think the challenge is for May 1, not Christmas. That makes a huge difference.
    in 35 lbs by May 1st: Anyone want to join me for accountability? Comment by fitby44 November 2020
  • Original Start Weight: 234 pounds Challenge Start Weight (August 21): 198.2 pounds Revised Challenge Goal Weight: 184 pounds Weight Today: 188.4 pounds I'm glad to be out of the 190s. It took me three months to lose ten pounds. That's not bad, but I was growing tired of seeing 19x on the scale. Woohoo!!!

  • It's nice to see people still at it and new people who have joined since I last posted. My weight loss has slowed down a lot. I weighed in at 191.6 this morning. I have started a new job that I love, and while it burns a lot of calories, I was basically at maintenance because I was so hungry for the first three weeks. I'm…

  • As I suspected, weighing in and reporting every day was starting to get me obsessed, so I'm grateful that this challenge doesn't enable obsession. lol I really wanted to keep doing the 10 Day challenges and I'd like to go back to them when I'm in the right head space for them. Nice to see people's successes here. Original…

  • Like some of the others, I think about what things I've missed out on because of my weight. For example, since I've lost some weight I no longer have foot pain like I did. So, I can go for long walks and dance and do things that hurt a lot before. Also, smaller clothes are nicer. And ultimately, and this is probably…

  • Original Start Weight: 234 pounds Challenge Start Weight (August 21): 198.2 pounds Challenge Goal Weight: 174 pounds Weight Today: 195.4 pounds Well, my weight loss has definitely slowed down, but I figure that as long as I am not gaining, I'm good. I'm at day 154 for logging and I've never made it this far before and I…

  • Challenge Start Weight: 198.2 Weight Today: 196 Challenge Goal Weight: 174 I'm glad that eating more carbs doesn't seem to be impacting my losses right now like it used to. I wonder if it's because I'm not as big as I was and/or I am doing IF, but I do seem more insulin sensitive than I was 38 pounds ago. That's…

  • I agree! Sometimes I have to step back and not obsess quite so much. I really like the Just Give Me 10 Days Challenge, but will need to take periodic breaks from it because weighing so frequently can sometimes feed my obsessions a little too much. So, I need to psych myself out a bit at times and not weigh so often. It's…

I aim for 1,000 calorie…

  • Thanks for starting the challenge. I'll join you. I'm hoping to reach 174 pounds (and be overweight instead of obese) by December 20 and then maintain that until January 1. That's 24.2 pounds or just over 6 pounds a month which is a little less than the pace I've been on since May. Usually, I weigh in daily, but sometimes…
