    @Jimb376mfp you are an inspiration. Watching you succeed last year was encouraging for me.

    I also stayed with this challenge for 2018 after losing 30 pounds with it in 2017 and being close to my goal. My highest weight a couple of years ago was 188 and I'm now at 130. I'm 59 and 5'2" (almost).

    I'm almost afraid of hitting my goal and "graduating" out of this challenge. I like the
    one pound goals and weekly check in and accountability.

    I wish everyone success.

    Thanks, I remember you too, the Pound a Week sounded so reasonable when I started but I learned to achieve that goal for 52 Weeks was a Real Challenge for me. Happy I made it to 43#!
    Challenge made me focus on what I was doing and how it could affect the scale week to week.

    Now that has to be wisdom!

    Ok i'm back and no I wasn't on holidays I was here at home. More than likely feeling sorry for myself. Winter blues found me no matter how I tried to run away from it this year. So of course I gained a good gain I will fix that up tomorrow. I'll post starting weight and where i'm at now. Not good. So I start over. And not for the first time.

    Hopefully see you all lighte.

    Weight 2/5 185.4

    Still on the struggle bus. It doesn't help that I started dating a man who prefers to go out on Friday night instead of Saturday. My weekend relax day has traditionally been Saturday, so when I relax my choices a little bit on Friday I still want to do it again on Saturday! At least this week we are doing a birthday and not going out until Saturday night. I know I will make better choices tonight, knowing that tomorrow I get some French fries!

    I am 52 years old, five foot two inches and I work a sedentary job.

    To update my last post, I have copied the template to my notes on my phone (I'm a list maker so I use the note pad often). I can update it weekly and then copy, paste it in.
