So, I haven’t said anything, but I just have to share a little success story.
Six weeks ago, my sister-in-law challenged all of my siblings and each one’s SO to a weight loss contest. Two opted out, leaving four couples in the game. Winning couple (decided by largest % of combined starting weight lost) would collect $200 from the rest of the teams.
At the six week weigh-in, my wife and I had lost a total of about 28 pounds or approximately 7.07% of our starting weight. Yours truly accounted for almost 22 of those pounds. I started at 213.3 and as of yesterday morning weighed 191.5.
The challenge officially ends at Thanksgiving, by which I project I’ll weigh, maybe, 180.
Who knows, maybe I’ll keep going ‘til Christmas and get down below 170. We’re talking numbers I haven’t seen in 20+ years.
Anyone else dieting?
Congratulations Raquel on your weight loss! Not actually dieting, but it seems just eating less as one gets older.

Great to hear, Raquel. I have working to lose weight for the past 5 years. Finding time to train has been my challenge between injuries and work. I broke 300 for first time in probably 20 years at the close of last summer (2020). To date, I have lost 75 pounds with another 50 to 60 to achieve my goal.

Raquel, I think I found those 22 pounds you lost.
Dang.
Congrats, Mackenzie. That’s awesome. If you need a weight loss buddy, feel free to reach out.
Any type of competition with my brothers brings out a beast in me, though. I think my wife and I have a pretty good lead on the next closest couple, but I’m not going to let up. 😁
I think I was eating more as my weight crept up over time. Plus, I had become a little more sedentary. I’ve worked up to walking/jogging up to 2.5 - 3 miles per day.
😆😆😆.
Clara, you just need to find someone else to pass them along to.
Check out Dr Westman (professor) keto diet. I lost 45kg doing it in 18 months. 2.5 years later my weight has maintained somewhere between 75 & 80 kg. I went from XXL to M shirts.
Size 22 to 16 in dresses.
Glad to hear that Raquel! Keep up the good work!

Congrats on losing the weight. Twenty years ago I had no problem losing weight, but nowadays it just doesn't go down.
I went Keto in May of last year and went from 220 lbs to around 150 at my lowest. I'm not Keto at the moment because you need to cycle on and off to keep the benefits going. Then at the 1st of the year I started running 3-5 miles a day and that REALLY kicked the weight loss / toning into high gear. But I'm sitting comfortably around 162-165 now days. It isn't easy, but it really worked for me.
Congratulations Raquel!
I hope you and your wife win that competition, and achieve your goal weight.
Oh Raquel I'm so proud of you. Keep going girl.
Hugs, Liara
Clara...😂😂😂 xx
Well done Raquel....
Amazing willpower....I hope you win!!!!
I don't diet, bit I have cut down on my portion size at mealtimes....and I do a lot of walking....works for me.
Just be careful....$200 can buy a lot of......cake
Huggs, grace xx
