2017~~52 Pounds in 52 Weeks Challenge
Replies
-
internet problems and lots happening at home - stopped counting calories. Still on track for 52lb in 52weeks though. Laptop going in for repair but will try to keep recording on my tablet - it can be a bit tricky though. The main thing is to stay focused on long-term and steady weight loss, no matter what else is happening in life.11

2017 52/52 Challenge, 3/16 week eleven
SW: 231.2
Goal weight: 186
Current weight: 219.8
Total weight lost YTD: 11.4
This week's successes: Recoverd from allergies kicking my butt. Too much sodium in canned soup, took a break from pool and didn't drink enough H2O. All that and I gained 2.6#. That is only my third + gain so I'm still on track.
Next weeks challenge: Go back to my routines: eat and drink according to WW plan, go to water aerobics, swimming laps and walk 10K steps a day. ALL to lose a pound!
Actually think that most of my 2.6 gain this week is water retention due to my increase in sodium in canned soups.
My theory (excuse?), time will tell.7 -
Starting weight: 226.4 lbs
Goal weight: 155 lbs
Current weight: 203.9 lbs
Total Weight Loss so far: 22.5 lbs
This week's successes: Signed up for Boot Camp workout classes during Monday lunch times at work. This is HUGE for me, as work is so stressful/busy at the moment, so I have been working through my lunch breaks (which is such a bad habit). But, I decided that no matter what, I would have a lunch break EVERYDAY. If I don't have Boot Camp, then I will go for a walk for at least 20 minutes. I am just so proud of myself, for finally putting myself first! They also have Boxing workout classes during lunch times on a Thursday, so once my fitness level improves, I hope to add Boxing to the list...
This week's challenges: My husband has been away and so I have been flying solo with the kids. I worked back late every night, and so by the time I got home and dinner done, it was just too dark to go out for my walk. And, not going out for my walk meant I started eating the chocolate. Hopefully, once we finally finish with daylight savings here (in early April), I can go for my 5km walk in the mornings. In the meantime, I will just manage as best I can and not put too much pressure on myself.

This week's successes: 76 days smoke free. Staying within my calorie goal and taking long walks with my dog after work instead of going to the gym. Have to take advantage of the nice weather.
This week's challenges: Drinking enough water. Dealing with a nasty co-worker makes me want to smoke! Grrrr6 -
Bad news is I gained 1.4 pounds this week. Good news is I got rid of the sling my arm was in for shoulder surgery recovery and I can go back to exercising as long as I don’t use my right arm. Hopefully, adding exercise to my clean dieting will get me back in the loss column next week.
One of the challenges that comes with exercise for me is increased appetite. However, I think eating clean will keep me fueled enough to overcome a desire to eat more calories than I burn with exercise.

Week 11:
Challenge starting weight: 230lbs
Goal weight: 178 lbs
Current weight: 117.5 lbs
Total challenge weight lost:12.5 lbs
This week's successes: I gave up my cushy desk job to work in a retail store, so I am standing and walking 6 hours a day, six days a week. In the beginning my legs and my feet ached so bad at the end of my shift, now I get tired but not hurting as bad.
This week's challenges: Since I am working evenings, I get off work right before my gym closes so I have one day off a week to get to the gym. I get off at 9:00 pm, eat dinner around 10:00 pm, and go to bed around 1:00 am. I tried working out in the morning before I go to work, but it is too much for my legs and then standing for 6 hours. I need to find a way to get cardio in my routine.6 -
Weekly Weigh-in
Starting weight:182.6
Goal weight:140
Last Tuesday that I logged weight:168.8
Current weight: 166.2
Week weight loss: 2.6
Total weight lost: 16.4
Success: Even though I was exhausted last weekend, I didn't binge eat.
Challenges: Eating the right foods and taking my supplements to address the deficiencies that I have that are causing the exhaustion after a speed workout. If a 15 minute workout can knock me down for two days, imagine what a 45 minute one will do.6 -
Starting weight 1st Jan: 231lbs
Goal weight: 186 lbs
Current weight: 221 lbs
Week weight loss: 0
Total weight lost: 10lbs
This week's successes: Having stayed the same after a week of exercise and staying within calorie limits, I've gone through my intake with a fine toothcomb and found that my sugar intake has been over most days and my carbs under, which probably explains the constant hunger, which I believed to be down to exercise.
This week's challenges: As above, getting the sugar down and the carbs up7 -

You all are inspiring me. I got interested in this challenge about a month ago just before a big move. Surrounded by boxes and a longer commute makes it really tough to not be stressed and to stay on track. But your losses this year are super helpful to see and I'm getting back on it now thanks to this!8

Speaking on behalf of 52 pounds in 52 weeks group, it appears to me we welcome all who want to join and participate in a positive way.
If I did my math correctly it will be impossible for you to lose 52 pounds because your starting weight is 60kg or about 132 pounds. However, the spirit of our group is to encourage each other in our weight loss journeys. With that spirit in mind please join us.7 -
Starting weight: 198 lbs

This week's successes: Put on my coveralls this weekend and they didn't feel like they were bursting at the seams...in fact they actually felt a bit loose. Last Fall I thought I was going to rip them out just bending over. What a great feeling to see some results!
This week's challenges: I am not drinking enough water so I am going to log my water everyday and make an effort to drink more.8
