MAIN QUEST: Lose Weight Feel Great! To hit my goal range of 125-135 and do it in a healthy way! Goals (diet and fitness related) that will help me achieve Main Quest: I feel like I just haven't made much progress at all the last 15 challenges. I keep losing and gaining the same 10 pounds lately... Not really sure how to fix this, but I just keep trying! Back story: All through high school I struggled to GAIN weight. I weighed 110 pounds all through high school. I am 5'2", so that's a "healthy" weight, but I really was way too thin and didn't have any muscle. Then I started having babies and started gaining weight. My heaviest was 219. I am at 205 now. I have managed over the years to diet myself down to 165 at the lowest, but it was a very unhealthy diet (around 500 calories a day) and I started losing my hair, so I decided I would rather be fat and have hair than to thin with no hair lol 1. #OneDerland - Get under 200 lbs - This is obviously a pass/fail, and I know a lot of people will say "muscle weighs more than fat blah blah blah" but I weigh 205 lbs and I am 5'2", this is ridiculous! I NEED to lose pounds! Edited to add: I guess I need some plan to get me there, huh? I don't like counting calories all the time because I tend to obsess over it and then I just don't eat, which is unhealthy. (I understand that counting calories works for a lot of people, and my NASM training is going to tell me all about it lol but I just get too obsessed) I also tend to do whatever eating plan my current Beachbody program uses, but this means changing my "diet" every 4-8 weeks, which is also not working for me. So, I think I am going to take a Paleo 2.0 approach with occasional calorie counting, just to make sure I am not eating way more than my body needs. I will be eliminating the following: Gluten - already gone from my diet Processed junk Soy Sugar I will eat minimal dairy (already stopped drinking milk, but still eat hard cheese and butter) No stopping for candy bars and sodas!!
