2017~~52 Pounds in 52 Weeks Challenge

magslante

Hi everyone, if you are looking for some more support and motivation, I highly recommend the Fat 2 Fit Weight Loss Challenge and Support Group.

The group runs monthly weight loss challenge competitions. The registrations for their May Weight Loss Challenge are now open. Below is the link to their post in the Support and Motivation Forum which has all the details about the challenge, and how to join.

I have been a member and taken part in their challenges for 3 months now, and have found it to be a great way to keep me on track and motivated.

It's never too late to jump in and start, or start over. It's great to see everyone who is losing weight.

If you're struggling....like I have been... with over-eating, stress, traveling, etc... this is where to come for motivation. Here we encourage and support each other. We are not perfect, but together we make progress, and bring each other up..... and our weight down.

It feels great to be back! I've missed you all.

Total Weight Loss so far: 26.9 lbs

This week's challenge: It's been a tough week I fell over (again) and this time fractured a rib, so I haven't been able to exercise as much. And, I spent the week-end away visiting my brother which included lots of wine and eating out....

This week's success: But, my back is improving. I went for a walk this morning and even though it wasn't at my normal pace (I walked much slower) it felt so good to be outside in the fresh air.

YES!!!

It's only the end of April, one quarter of the year (17 weeks for me). There are 35 more weeks left for me to try and lose A POUND A WEEK! That always sounds so "easy" but for me at age 69, having been on WW since January 2013, having lost 161# so far and trying to get to 199, then to Overweight BMI, then set a WW Goal Weight and do all that before my 70 BD next February HECK YES I'M STILL DOING THIS!

Attrition rate has been high but I get encouraged by the folks on here that are making great progress. I'm at -15.8# after 17 weeks, not killing it BUT almost on track for 52#/52 weeks.

Last year I was -37# after 52 weeks, I'm determined to beat that this year.
