    I joined a 52 pounds in 52 weeks challenge in 2016. I got to -35# in August but ended the year at -37#.

    I signed up for same challenge here on MFP. It's on the Challenges page if anyone is interested.

    I would be absolutely THRILLED if I could average a pound a week between now and the first of April. That would get me back into my "happy place" where my weight is concerned. But since I know that I typically average about 2-3 pounds a MONTH, that's not likely to happen.

    It took me 22 months to lose 55 pounds. You do the math. :)

    Wow Cindy! One pound a week would put me right at my goal of being under 300 by our Dumez family reunion. I'd be at 299. I hope that I will do slightly better than that, but it just shows that small numbers eventually add up to big numbers...
