2/8 Week Six of 52/52 Challenge:
2018 Starting weight: 187.8
Current weight: 188
Goal Weight: 184
This week: -.2
2018 Total lost: +.2
This week's successes: I lost .2 this week and considering that I celebrated my 70th BD last Saturday it is a SUCCESS! I ate out twice and did well!
Next weeks Challenges: Keep track, exercise and keep my eye on my Goal! I’m only four pounds away from my GW after five years of following WW plans.
(FYI: WHY I am continuing with 52/52 Challenge?
To get to my official WW Goal Weight and show that losing a lot of weight is possible for seniors. I began FIVE years ago at 376# and 65 yo. I used this Challenge the past two years and lost 37# and 43# to get me close to my Goal Weight. A pound a week ADDS UP! But you need to stick with new good habits of eating and exercising! It ain’t easy at any age!)8 -
@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.3 -

@tammierlewis
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.

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.2 -

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.2 -

I'd like to give this a go. I lost 52 lbs about 3 1/2 years ago (took a little over a year to do) and then in the last two years gained almost all of it back...
I am going to be 50 in April so I need to get this in check ASAP! Hoping that this helps me stay focused - thank you!
This week's successes: Logging all food, every day and exercised 3x
This week's challenges: Getting the exercise in.

This week's successes:
Upped Leslie Sansone to 30 mins. Still drinking 4 cups of water a day, no pork, just more fish, and more wholegrain foods. Started taking my new thyroid energy, support tablets. My calories were good this week,
if I went over it was always under 50 cals.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, I worked out on days I didnt want to work out, and stuck to my calories on days I just wanted to stuff a whole pizza in my face.......
This week's challenges: Keep Leslie Sansone to 30 minutes, keep to calorie limits and keep water intake going
