I wanted to update my goals here as I am hoping to lose 5 pounds for this March challenge from 147 down to 142 with my eventual goal down to 136 pounds. I’d like to get my waist down from 34 to 32 inches. I think I put the wrong measurement in my profile so need to update that. I’m still figuring out the system.
Planning to start 5/2 with fast days on Monday and Thursday. Wanting to do 10,000 steps a day so plan to try to take some walking breaks at work. In addition I think I’m going to do the daily Wayans. Many of you have mentioned doing that. I’ve been using the fascia blaster and I am continuing to do that daily, particularly on my belly as that is where I seem to have accumulated my extra weight. I think this has happened as I’m getting older and my hormones have changed or significantly decreased.

Good luck to everyone on this March challenge. I’m really excited to be part of this. I’m still learning the terms and since I’m used to pounds and ounces, I’m trying to wrap my mind around the metric system measurements as many of you are from countries that measure that way.

Thanks so much to the moderator or person who is managing these post. Much appreciated.

All my best – Sirisan

@sirisan,

you may want to head on over to the ’31 day March challenge’ as this Feb challenge is finished. We’re just logging our final results for the record and soon there won’t be any more posts.

I look forward to ‘hearing’ from you on the ’31 day March challenge’ thread.

Good luck!!!

Wednesday March 1st — Colorado USA — NFD

Well, I’ve finally busted thru my mid-winter blahs & have halted the scales climbing back up.
I feel reinvigorated & ready to charge into March!! 😀

143.4 = February 1, 2017
147.0 = March 1st…. up 3.6 lbs.

Plenty of room for improvement. I’m not worried. I’m raring to go at it again!
Again, many many THANKS to LynzM for a wonderful job hosting!!

Day29 final check Maine NFD

Thank you Lynzm for your leadership! Ending weight 188 – so, since feb 1 lost 7.5 – but adding in the 2.5 I lost from last mon in Jan (& of course, I’m adding that!) – lost 10 lbs! And I know I lost inches – journal w/measurements, packed in car for our travels, so will measure later.

Thank you all! I haven’t watched my weight go down in about 8 yrs!! Feel like this is a WOL for the duration – at 65, no idea how long that will be – but, doing this will hopefully help me eek out a few more good years! Need to find a picture of a trim 75 yr old to keep in mind!

Marching onward & downward! Good luck!

Day 1 second post

Thought I would add some measurement stats to my profile. Bmi 26.4 Waist is 36 inches height/weight ratio is 0.52 and hips a HUGELY embarrassing 45 inches. Goodness only knows what those stats would have been 2 stone ago!

I have been reading waist measurements on here with interest. They seem to vary so much and seemingly without much correlation with actual weight or bmi.

This is the very first time I have measured, using a handy gadget called a myotape which manages the correct tension for you. Does anyone have any idea of suitable goals for inch loss in relation to weight reduction?

Thanks so much @lynzm! That’s a fantastic loss for 53 people! Great job keeping on top of it all! 💕💕

Sorry for the late post. Didn’t realise how much time had gone.
