    “Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.” Robert Collier
    A pound a week sounds reasonable ... especially for those of us over 50! Reporting in on Monday's since I consider that my official WI and the start of my week.

    Last week's successes: Tracked each day so I could not deny what I ate, 74339 steps

    I'll join! A little late, but thats ok :) I've been back on the weight loss train since December, so I can post stats from Jan 1 to current :)

    Starting weight: 209.2 (as of 1/1/19)
    Goal weight: 140
    Current weight: 202 (as of 2/25/19)
    * weigh-ins up to today:
    - 1/16/19: 206.8
    - 2/1/19: 206.2
    - 2/15/19: 203.8
    Total weight lost: 7.2 lbs

    This week's successes: I finally feel like I'm seeing a consistent trend DOWN. And coming back to MFP community pages. I lost 40lbs years ago and this community was a huge help to me back then. Looking forward to seeing the same progress this time :)

    This week's challenges: I'm still struggling to wrap my head around a 1-2 lb loss average per week. For some reason I expected to see lost lbs much quicker than I am. I've increased my activity from zero gym days, to 6x a week and eating/drinking whatever I wanted, to calorie counting and no junk. I also hired a personal trainer, and yet, I feel like my loss rate is really low. So this challenge will be helpful for me to reset that expectation and realize this is an ok and healthy loss rate.

    I also joined a Biggest Loser challenge at work, and I am no where NEAR the same numbers as my co-workers. I'm not even in the top 50% for how much I've lost. I see others dropping big numbers and I struggle for each lb. Even staying the same week over week sometimes. That doesn't help in my perception that I should be losing more weight more quickly than I am.

    A little late to post this since I was frustrated this weekend, but I want to hold my self reliable and mark the results regardless how I feel about it.


    Starting weight: 186.0 lbs
    Goal weight: 130.0 lbs
    Current weight: 179.7 lbs
    Total weight lost: 6.3 lbs

    This week's successes: I walked a lot and enjoyed the fresh, warmer air that is starting come in. Stayed within my calorie goals for the most part. Oh, and I'm officially out of the 180s. :)
    This week's challenges: For some reason my back began to really hurt and is stiff all weeks since the 18th. Due to that, I haven't exercised really because I don't want to make it worse. And it still hurts. :(
    Next week's goal: Keep drinking water consistently and (hopefully) be able to exercise again.
