Never say never!!! gollee!! Has it been 8 years!!! Life hit again! I’ve hovered between 230-240 for the past 3 years. Last August, I joined Healthy Wage and bet $100 each month that over 8 months I would lose 60 pounds. I’m 51 days to the end of the Wage and can come back here and say I’m down 50!!!! I have 51 days to hit 176.8...then, I’ll take a month off to maintain (May) and be 15-20 pounds from my ultimate goal of 155!!! My payout with HW will be $2600 which I will put towards our next vacation!
I’ll probably post here once every 3 weeks until I claim this goal I set over ten years ago!!
Here’s what I’m doing:
Complex carbs (one meal) allowed on Mondays/Tuesdays, no more than 1400 calories a day. Never eat after 5, 3 days I intermittent fast after 2, mostly veggies, lean proteins, only balsamic for dressing, low sodium, water with lemon or cranberry splash in it, work out at gym 4-5 days a week- 3 miles on elliptical, 3k on rowing machine- 20 minutes on weights...started out with 1k and 1 mile!! Then I fit in 4-5 3 mile walks with the dogs...it’s coming off!!!
I hope others have maintained the 150s!!! I will start a maintain 150 or below club once I achieve this one- you’re never too old to get fit!! I’m 51!!!
