March/April weight loss challenge

[GLC1968]

149.8 on Saturday. I really need to focus but I'm having so much fun eating lots of things and then exercising it off. Who would have thought 'maintenance' could be such a good time!

I just committed to a challenge on a different board for the entire summer, so starting near Memorial Day, I'll get more serious. Until then, I'm just trying to maintain balance.

134.2...sigh

I can't complain however, after all of the feasting at church on Pascha and we had an office dinner this week - and less riding than normal because of the rain I really shouldn't be surprised.

I'm not actually part of the challenge. I'm to the point where the weight is very slow to come off, but I'm very excited because I weighed in at 142 this morning - 16% body fat now. That's 13 pounds since Nov. 1.

I'm eating more now to support my training. Basically a higher percentage of carbs so I really don't expect to see change. Still, every pound I lose is less I have to bike and run with.

114.4. Back to only 2.4 lbs above goal

I started at 158 and am down to 137, moving from obese to overweight. I need to be at 115 to not be overweight. I've been at 137 for two weeks. Not surprising, as I was on the road all last week. It is tough for me to keep the calories down when I am traveling and getting very little exercise.

146 today. Almost back to my "normal weight". 11 lbs. from dream weight.

Goldfinch- hang in there. Your trajectory mirrors mine- I started at 150 and reached a goal of 112. I had some down time from cycling and was a little less careful through the winter and crept back up to 115-116- but I'm back on track now.

Just do your best to track and watch your portions while you are away from your routine. If you can't get your preferred foods, just try to substitute as best you can and try to walk or find other exercise.

You can do it- we all can!
