February 14th to April 4th 2021 Challenge

[Cele21]

Hello and welcome to the 2nd challenge of 2021!

Besides celebrating our scaled and non-scaled victories and progress with our physical selves, I want to try something new for 2021, I want to add an extra challenge (suggested by my hubby). Choose something you can do every day for yourself to add a bit of brightness and joy to your life. Like to read but haven't lately? Pick a book and spend 10 to 15 minutes with it. Like to craft, color, paint, sing, dance, bake, cook, spend time in prayer? Well, you get the idea. Do it for YOU, every day. Let us know what you're doing and how doing it more is affecting you.

Anyone is welcome to join in at any time, just hit reply on the most recent post and let us know a bit about yourself.

Following are some acronyms typically used by those who post. Some of us also track body fat or measurements, etc. please add those as you wish.

USW - Ultimate start weight

SW - starting weight for this challenge

CW - current weight 

PW - previous week's weight/weigh-in

LW - last weight/weigh-in

GW - goal weight for the challenge

MGW - mini goal weight

UGW- ultimate goal weight

To join the challenge, please just hit 'reply' and post!

If you want to respond to or 'tag' a particular person with your response, type in @ and you will get a drop down box of recent users to choose from, this will alert them that someone has responded to something they posted and we will all see who you are talking to or about. For example: @_Lilac_  hope to see you here!

@Cele21 Celest,  Your mini goal weight is a good idea.  I was reading about a lady who found everything about diet and exercise etc too overwhelming.  She decided to just do the right things for ONE DAY.   She thought she could manage that.  She lost 40 pounds and has a blog all about it.  Just one day at a time.

Feb 14 to April 4 challenge.....In Feb and March I weighed up and down 116 - 121.  Today 118.  Not good but better than 121 and I hope to do  better by April 4 which is Easter. and only a week away.   Is anyone else trying?

Hello, everyone! I thought I did well last week, when my scale showed 166.6 lb. Then, a couple of days later it was back to 167.8., which is where I was last week. Yesterday was my birthday, and I had Chinese food (not good for weight loss ... or health!).  Next Sunday I will be having guests for Easter. The Easter dinner is not going to be a Nutritarian one, for sure. 

Doing OK with the walking, and plan to keep building on that. Hope to do better on weight loss on our next challenge. Hope you continue to host it @Cele21 ! This is huge help for all of us!

Here are my stats for this week:

USW - Ultimate start weight - 197lbs. (my highest weight in 2015, which scared me to death!)

SW - starting weight for this challenge - 170 lbs (a week ago). 

CW - current weight - 167.8 lbs 

PW - previous week's weight/weigh-in - 166.6 lbs

LW - last weight/weigh-in - 166.6

GW - goal weight for the challenge  - 164 lbs (I chose a moderate weight loss plan)

UGW- ultimate goal weight - 145-150 lbs (145 lbs is the lowest I've been a couple of years ago, after a 3-day fast, but I didn't stay there long enough; so, we'll see...). 

Best wishes to you all!

Made really bad food choices the day before weigh-in - movie food with high sodium, soda and pizza (huge pizza slice).

@Bogdel - Yes, I will continue the challenges, just running a bit behind. I will try to get it up and running tonight.

Look for April 4th to May 31st 2021 Challenge soon. This will be a bit over 7 weeks and take us to Memorial Day (U.S.)

Awesome! I'm in! I will be traveling overseas at the end of this month, but I will definitely try to keep up with the weight loss challenge there, too. Thanks @Cele21 !

Best wishes!
