March/April weight loss challenge

[goldfinch]

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!

I'm still doing five miles every night on the treadmill. Well, most nights. I think in the past months I've had maybe five days off all together. This week I've walked 20 miles. I'm getting some awesome muscle tone, but I still feel like I've got Alley Oop calves and I look about six months' pregnant.

Still, I just bought three pairs of shorts in a size smaller than I actually wear. Motivation.

Thinking of going back to green smoothies for one meal per day.

Anybody got some good kale recipes?

Kale loves to be cooked with lots of garlic.

thanks, Posse!!

Thank you, Posse, for keeping the chart.

And thanks, Goldfinch, for the tip on the garlic.

Put me down for 226 at the finish. Not what I wanted, but life - again. At least I've not been stress eating - this is progress (normally, I would have gained weight with life as it has been lately).

Thanks, Possegal - Looking forward to the next challenge!
