This challenge starts tomorrow. Currently I'm "weighing up" my options (pun intended):


MY PLAN FOR LOSING ALMOST 13 POUNDS FROM 321.2 TO 308.4

EXERCISE:

Running is out of the question as this would hurt my knees. But walking, I can do. Let see if I can reach the well-known 10k steps a day.


FOOD STRATEGY:

1) Intermittence Fasting: First Meal will be lunch at 1:00pm and early dinner at 6:00pm. No Snacking!

2) Lose the Sodas: This one will be hard, but it well could be the most powerful option of the whole challenge.

3) Learn to like Salad: Will experiment a lot with different salad options. I don't really like them so it will be an acquired taste for me.

4) Reduce Carbs: I am not talking about elimination, but I am sure that my current intake is very high. Limit to no more than 75g. I am sure that at the moment I am having more than 150g.

5) Increase Proteins: Chicken breast will be my friend in this challenge. Also, I plan to eat eggs (the perfect protein supply).

6) Sleep: I always go to bed later than 12 and must wake at 6. Can't do nothing about the 6 but will do my best to add 1 or maybe 2 hours of Zzzz.

So that's it! That is my plan. It is very strict for me, but if I follow it to 80%, I am sure that I will reach my goal and maybe more.

I wanted to write my plan as a way to make myself accountable to my DietBet group. GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!!!

p.s.
I hope that my English is not too hard to understand as it is my second language.

Great plan!!! Keep us updated on the salad quest...I'm curious if you'll learn to like them

I love salads. I use a package of a kale slaw blend and add bits of other stuff to make it taste good. Usually tomato, cucumber, feta, beetroot. Sometimes I’ll bake some pumpkin and sweet potatoes and freeze them to add to the salad. I also prepare and freeze chicken before hand. I find salads very versatile and easy.

Oh Gosh! I’m 2 pounds away from this months weight goal. I did weigh after 3 cups of tea so maybe weighing first thing tomorrow will do the trick!?!
No salt today!

I need to get a new scale. Mine has started glitching and weighing myself multiple times within a short amount of time will yield different results. What would you do? Still weigh in with the same glitchy scale? Or risk it with a new, potentially more stable scale?

Will they accept my weigh in with a different scale?

I’ve had to switch scales several times due to low battery. I’ve never had an issue with weigh outs. I would get a new scale! That must drive you nuts.

Ali

When was the last time you changed the batteries?

I’ve had a hard time keeping some of the weight off after DietBets are over. Hopefully this will help me stay on track especially during the holidays.

I don’t know if I’m allowed to ask this- Has anyone who paid for the whole transformer challenge upfront thought it wasn’t worth it?

This is only my second Transformer, but I had a good experience last time paying upfront. I think the monthly weigh-ins help keep it in the forefront of my mind.

I paid upfront for this transformer to keep me in the game til the end no matter what life throws my way…because life always seems to throw those curve balls. I didn’t want anything to encourage me to cut my losses and quit early to wait for a more calm time in my life. Just losing the pounds and getting my initial bet back will be reward enough.
