  • I was so determined. I had lost approx 45lbs since Jan. I joined this challenge to keep it challenging. I had actually hit my 10% this June but ive beem struggling this summer. Was up 15 from my lowest this summer and I'm down 5 of that. But i dont think I've hit my 6% min to qualify. I am approx 10 off from this months goal still. Either way I'm so proud of my progress this year. Sucks losing the financial peice but its less important than my health gains this year. This journey is not over yet for me. Hope everyone is doing great and stays motivated whether or not they win this bet. Your health is the most important thing.


    Update 1: Ahh i did the math on my calculator!! I might have got the 6%! Wish me luck

    Update 2: submitted weigh in i should be good to enter final round. I have exactly 9lbs to go for final round! Wish me luck

  • Its been a week with end of summer festivities. I love how this keeps me accountable. Time to get back down to 148 by end of this round. I was all the way down to 145 but thats okay. My start weight was 188 Jan 1 and this keeps me accountable. I have a weekend getaway planned so I'm not 100% positive I'll get this round but ill just do my best.

I'm down 13 from the start, which is GOOD...but I'm supposed to be about another 9 pounds lower! And 12 more pounds total to WIN. So, I won't win this round, but I WILL win in the end!

Guacamoldy

Fantastic progress either way!!

That's awesome congrats! I've been bouncing around and having trouble keeping my calories down but today's another day!

What happens if you don’t make it to the goal weight for one of the rounds? Can you go on and just make it to the goal weight of the next round or are you out of the game completely? Anyone knows?

You wont get the round prize and you simply have to catch up for the next round and the final round is 2 months basicslly the same which is half the pot so if you dont make a round don't give up.

coraliep74

Hope you made it if not be reallt mindful today and try again tomorrow and if not try again next round

How is everyone doing? Has anyone tried a meal delivery service? I just signed up for Factor. 10 meals for $62 starting Sunday. Meals looked good.

I did after my wife passed away because i was too depressed to meal plan and my youngest even loved cookong them. She was 10 (14 now). They aren't going to be the healthiest always so watch what you order. It is possoble to lose weight on them if you are mindful of your choices throughout the day. I cancelled them a couple years ago and am back to meal planning. Its a great alternative as it takes so much stress away and they are tasty and pretty well balanced.

Factor seems like it's very expensive. I use hellofresh and they have really delicious options, but they are not diet friendly! Pretty much every single one seemed to have sour cream or cream cheese and their idea of low calorie is like 680 per serving!

Stupid company trip and big fancy dinners, made it down to 18.7 to 223 in four days, so frustrated with myself… back to the grind… it feels like it takes two weeks of perfect days to outweigh 2 days of bad eating… I’m a little terrified that when I get to end of my goal weight letting up a little will take me back to where I started

It’s like there is a part of me that would always overeat the worst foods if given a chance. I look at the success rates of long term weight loss and it’s not great and I just hope that after all this I can be the exception. I’m back on track now and will keep pushing. Little victories big set backs and finding the will to press on and on…

Kim T.

Yes, I’m right there with you. I feel so good right now with the weight going down, but even watching my husband eat whatever he wants makes it hard to always deny myself. I try to look at it as far as trying to live a healthy life so I can be around to watch my grandkids get married and have babies. I’ll try to make that my priority over food and I try to look at it as when I do eat something crappy., What do I feel like afterwards? I feel mad at myself like was it really worth that little one or two minutes of pleasure to gain 5 pounds.
