TOPIC: Weight loss Challenge

Fantastic! Congrats!

It's that time!

Should we post weights here or should we message you with them, Wade?

Up to each individual!

I lost exactly 1 pound, for a grand total of 0.3%

I made some changes that seemed pretty small (cut down on delivery and cooked most our meals and all but eliminated diet coke from my life (went from 2-3 cases per week to having had 4 since January) but ended up having a pretty major effect. Weighed in this morning at 238.9, for a loss of 33.5 pounds, which maths out to 12.3%

That is very awesome! Congrats!

My goal was a modest loss of 10 to 12 lbs and I'm running a little better than that. The motivation from this challenge has helped, so I'm very happy with this. I'll post my results in the next day or two, but think I'm somewhere around a 7% loss.

For me it came down to portion control and elimination of late night snacking. Charting my weight every day also helped. Didn't like those days that spiked up.

Yeah, I didn't chart but I weighed daily. I know it's often advised not to do so, but I'm like you and the spikes motivate me

Congratulations to you both! That's awesome.

god bless you guys and the strength to stay committed.

i just finished off 2 racks of ribs (24 bones) with the trimmings.

Reminds me, I haven't had ribs in ages. I need to remedy that

So, I ended up going up, not down. I thought this would help motivate me, but it didn't. Too much chaos in my life. Next time perhaps? Congrats to those with more motivation than me

Went up for a bit and then went down some. Ended with 265 down 6 pounds.

Well done!
