2017~~52 Pounds in 52 Weeks Challenge

Servannes

I've been sick this week. Haven't been exercising, but I have been watching what I eat. I've been preparing my meals with heavy emphasis on vegetables. Instead of boiling vegetables, I started roasting them with some meat in the oven in aluminum foil. They seem to taste much better and I don't need as much seasoning. Don't have to use butter at all.

Hi all, I was out of the house all day yesterday, and didn’t have the opportunity to check in. (I weighed yesterday morning, but did not post). So, here is my check-in for the week...

It was a lousy week, but I am back on track today. And this is the week, I start my Couch to 5K Treadmill edition….we’ll see if I can run in 16 weeks!

This Week’s Successes: I walked 10,000 steps (fitbit) for 3 of 7 days this week (Sunday, Tuesday, and Saturday). I have only hit 10k a total of 6 times, since I restarted my weight-loss journey on 23Oct2016. (28Dec16, 13Jan17, 28Jan17, 29Jan17, 31Jan17, and 4Feb17).

This Week’s Challenges: Rough week, ate well Monday, Tuesday, got sick on Wednesday, ate poorly Wednesday, Thursday and went down-hill from there, cumulating in eating salt and drinking alcohol while watching the big game. (Gained 1# on that one, not shown below as it occurred after the Sunday Weigh-in and will show next week).

All Time High: 226 lbs.
Official Start Weight for Challenge: 1Jan17 – 195.0 lbs.
Challenge Goal Weight: 143 lbs. by 1Jan2018
Ultimate Goal Weight: 140 lbs.

Next Mini Goal: 184 lbs. (by 12Mar27) – Down another BMI point to 28.

This weeks success is I was able to get up early to exercise- I haven't been able to do that in awhile. I think loosing some weight has given me more energy! That is huge for me!
Goals for this week are to keep working at endurance and strength in my workouts and to drink more water.

This week's successes: I had a whoosh today, that was good timing!
"In the past 7 days you were very active an average of 50min, 733% more than the median for women 45 to 54 yrs who are obese."
This week's challenges: Still annoying that on the numbers I should be losing much faster.
Food intake 1176, at rest 1172, exercise 991, net -997, should be losing 2lb a week.

Argh!!!

ultimate starting weight: 91 kg = 200 lb
Week zero : 1 Jan 2017 84.5kg = 186 lb
Goal weight: 65 kg = 143 lb

Current weight week 5: 6 Feb 83.8kg so I put ON 0.9 kg
Total weight lost: 0.7 kg or 1lb in 5 weeks. BUT

This week's successes: lean mass 50.8 - was 48.9 5 weeks ago : fat mass 33.1 was 35.6 Fat% 39.4% was 42.1%
So in 5 weeks I have lost 2.6 kg fat. Hey that's quite good! and is 5.7 pounds.
This week's challenges: it's hard to do all the right things and GAIN weight. I had a daily deficit of 1000 cal again. But I can see the big change in fat %....
