    Also it was the 52nd week :love: Since I took weight loss seriously and made changes and turn my life around. :blush:

    I lost total of 55 lbs. In 52 Weeks :sunglasses:

    This wasn't easy. This didn't come to me naturally. I had to work hard. I struggled. In past I too made many mistakes. And This time I used those mistakes and experiences as tool to Succeed.
    After some time many of us lose that "drive" or "fire". It gets difficult to stay motivated , stay focused.
    So here, the Real secret is Determination and Passion. It's the Key !!! Without Focus, Motivation, And Determination we can't achieve anything.

    Week 18 May 4 = 159 Yay, going back down! I did real well this week with staying under in calories except for one night. And, I didn't let that derail me, this time! That is huge for me! I got right back to it this time.

    FYI
    PSA

    I was on this 52/52 Challenge in 2016/2017. I lost 37/43 and got below 200. Then made GW with WW and earned WW Lifetime. Now on Maintenance since May.

    I will not be posting this Challenge thread for 2019. That Challenge helped me and if you want to continue the 52/52 Challenge for 2019 someone will need to start for new Thread. If you are interested in being the OP in mid/late December let me know.

    Height: 6'4 / 1.91 m.

    Lose 52 Pounds In 52 week’s Challenge:
    Progress: 52 - 49.9 = 2.1 lbs to go


    Doing a 75 lbs / 34 kg challenge.
    Progress: 75 - 49.9 = 25.1 lbs to go



    Original start weight: 396.8 lbs / 180 kg (januari 01 2000)
    Starting weight for this year: 270.1 lbs / 122 kg (januari 01 2018)
    First goal set at: 240.4 lbs / 109 kg (getting on the transplant list)
    REACHED at 04-16-2018
    Next goal set at: 220.4 lbs / 100 kg. (Target date = 07-31-2018) REACHED at 08-09-2018
    Ultimate goal, also Deadline: 195.0 lbs / 88 kg (Target date = 12-31-2018)

    The Background:
    Current "Live Style Change" (Not a DIEt): 1650 kcal a day.
    Currently three times a week at the Gym, program of 150 minutes Cardio/Strength (mixed exercises 11/13).
    Every fourth-night a 60 minute session with a Personal Trainer.
    Every workday a three mile walk.

    Motivator: losing weight for 2nd kidney transplant in 2019(-ish?).
    Being a kidney patient makes me fluctuate in weight very bad.
    I can loose or gain 4 pounds or more in 24 hours on fluids alone.

    SW 12/28/2017: 177.6 #
    Goal weight: 125 #
    Last week (8/4): 149.5 #
    Current weight (8/11):  149.2 #
    Total Lost:    28.8 #
    This week:   0.3 #

    Successes: I have returned to running and it feels good. Just a little running added to a diverse workout routine and a little lifting of  weights.
     Slow and steady - this is not about numbers; it's about health and fitness. I'm feeling not bad at all...

    Struggles: The nights I have trouble sleeping are followed by a day of feeling awful.
    I have spent a day at maintenance here and there. The calories often feel inadequate these days.

    .
    Also it was the 52nd week :love: Since I took weight loss seriously and made changes and turn my life around. :blush:

    I lost total of 55 lbs. In 52 Weeks :sunglasses:

    This wasn't easy. This didn't come to me naturally. I had to work hard. I struggled. In past I too made many mistakes. And This time I used those mistakes and experiences as tool to Succeed.
    After some time many of us lose that "drive" or "fire". It gets difficult to stay motivated , stay focused.
    So here, the Real secret is Determination and Passion. It's the Key !!! Without Focus, Motivation, And Determination we can't achieve anything.
