I am a bit heavy and would like my blood pressure and my cholesterol and inflammation levels to go down. And I would like to compete in a different weight class so that I won't be in the same group as some good lifters.

I did it! I am happy and proud of this achievement and I am seeing progress! Hope you all feel the same. I have received an eviction notice so with stress it has been good that I wasn't free to eat whatever I wanted (if I also wanted to win this game), because I would have eaten a lot!

Will have to make sure eating habits are on point for awhile. Slipped and fell on the ice yesterday and no better, so sitting at Emerg. And I was just starting to enjoy exercising again. :(

  • Been awhile, wanted to wait until I saw ortho. It's a very bad sprain, thankfully ACL not torn. Where the muscle attaches is chipped off but the hope is the scar tissue will heal well. I have a new best friend until Pril 7th. No family dr. so no note for an exemption?

This is going to be a challenging weigh in for me. I was close to this weight a few days ago, but I got heavier after eating well, so now I need get it off again. At least there's going to be some easy to lose glycogen and water weight. :-( I am going to need to find a new place to live, so I had better make sure I win this game because I need money to move.

Good luck with the final push to who needs it! I hope I can reuse a weigh in for a game that ended today, but will be careful in any case to make future weigh it's easier. On one hand, I am glad the weight loss speed is slowing down to 1%, on the other hand it feels like this journey will take forever before I achieve goal weight. I am not going to lose much more than the 1% though, I feel like I need to alternate periods of intense weight loss and period of losing at a slower pace.

It’s been about a year since I’ve done a game. I lost my last two but I’m hoping third time is a charm maybe lol Had some setbacks after I had a home invasion about a year and a half ago. I’m trying to get closer to “Onederland” which I’m hoping to reach by the end of April.

Good luck with this game, and beyond! I could technically achieve "Onderland" in April, too, but I am going to be in the second half of a Transformer soon, and I am going to take my time and enjoy the slower pace of weight loss.

It sure is a journey, isn't it?! I too lost my last two challenges, but feeling good about this one. We've got this. Good luck.
