I met my round 6 goal! So I joined another kickstarter. I just want to get out of the overweight range. I think doing another transformer will help motivate me. Knowing that I met my goal for the transformer is great but I need to keep the motivation going!

Impressive!

I want to get out of overweight, too. About 5 or so pounds away!

Mandie

Love this!! Congrats! :bouquet:

One of the best moments in the weight loss journey is when you make a change in the second number in your weight. It doesn’t happen as fast as the third number so it feels like a huge accomplishment. My goal is to change it 2 more times before the end of this challenge. Good luck to everyone.

Dropping down that second number is huge! Going from 200 to 199 was huge too! I feel like I lose sight of the big picture because when I don't excited for each lbs.

Mandie

Great perspective!

  • You know you're on an antibiotic when...

    How do you show your gut microbiome love?!?

@Naomi they are the Mary's Gone Crackers Super Seed - they have 3g of fiber, and 5g of protein, so definitely a more well rounded cracker option, and the fiber (from rice & quinoa) probably add to the prebiotic benefits!

Mandie

Sauerkraut :yum: love it on lots of things and also soy yogurt

I’m not making my weight this round. In fact, this morning I weighed more than I did at the end of the first round. That’s disappointing and a bit discouraging, but clearly I haven’t REALLY been putting the work in. If it was easy to lose weight, I wouldn’t join a bet to push myself to do it. I’ve put a reasonable plan into place and I’m committing to it. I’m determined to win the remaining rounds.

Lots more months to catch up

I’ve had that happen before in previous transformers. You can do it! Keep at it!!

Hi. I am out of town and while I meant to bring my scale, I forgot! I just weighed out of another diet bet on 2/26 but that exceeds the two day allowance to be reused. Can I weigh at the hotel fitness center for my final round 2 weigh in despite it being a different scale than my initial weigh in?

As long as it's digital, they won't accept anything from the style where you slide the weight bars

I had to do that on a prior Diet Bet! I had to drag the scale across the room in a busy hotel gym to get it in front of the mirror.

  • Just wanted to share this transformation pic with you all. This is a time span of 7 weeks. I'm really proud of myself for how far I've come. But I am just getting started! 💪????💓

    Editing to add what has been working for me: I have been doing the FASTer Way to Fat Loss program. It's intermittent fasting, counting macros, working out daily (30 min), getting 8-10k steps, drinking a ton of water and cutting out starchy carbs and sugar. But the main thing that's different for me is my mindset has completely changed. I am now looking at this as a. Lifestyle change rather than a way to get skinny. I just want to be strong and healthy.

Did a big ole grocery haul today so I’m sure to stick to my goal. Not sure what I’ll be whipping together but I got plenty of stuff!

I’ll be staying busy this weekend making 16 sourdough bread bowls. Someone asked if I would make them for a luncheon and I took on the challenge. Haven’t made bread in a few weeks so I’m excited dig in this weekend. Even more excited for how my house is going to smell! One of my absolute fav smells! Happy weekend everyone! Stay strong and stick to your goals. Remember if the weekend doesn’t pan out like you planned you can always start over Monday! We still have a good chunk of game left to buckle down!

Wow! I’ve failed twice at making a starter… ordering one is not a bad idea.

Lexus W.

RC , oh for sure. I wouldn’t even bother trying to make one. Your SD journey will be much less frustrating if you get one from a friend or order one from someone!

  • I'm so excited!! When we started this challenge, I posted that I had some super high Liver panel results, and was very upset. I am happy to say that in 1 month, saying no to alcohol (2 drinks a night is what I was averaging in December...) adding in exercise, keeping an eye on fiber, and shaving off 6-7 lbs, I was able to drastically cut those numbers!! One back to normal, the other is really close!
