Total weight lost: 53.2 kgs / 117.3 lbs / 44.5 % in 49 weeks.

Successes: Have avoided most Xmas temptations and kept to a modified version of my way of eating, exercise, and managed not to regain this week (actually had a loss!), while still eating lots of nice food.

Challenges: Festive season. Stress and challenge of eating my way while staying with family, as well as handling difficult extended family dynamics. I've kept to time-restricted eating, low-carb, whole foods, but not worried about intermittent fasting while I am away.

End of year wrap up: many thanks to @tammierlewis for this challenge, it has helped keep me accountable and on track. I've had a great year, and am now only a few lbs from my goal weight. In this time I have also reversed my insulin resistance, sluggish thyroid, stopped my "epic" snoring problem, have so much more energy and feel a million times better.

Next year my goal will be to maintain this loss, to keep to my new healthy habits, and not put it all back on (that would be a very different 52 Pounds in 52 Weeks Challenge: "Regain," the sequel!!!). I've chosen "optimise" for my 2020 inspiration word, to continue to build on the changes I've already made, to eat more green leafy vegetables, to increase strength, fitness and flexibility, all in a sustainable way that fits in with my everyday life.

Happy New Year everyone

@Luciicul Thank you. You are a major success for this challenge! Incredible loss this year.

Highest weight: 250 (07/11/18)
Challenge starting weight: 210.0 (12/31/18)
Goal weight: 150
Current weight: 173.2 (12/21/2019)
Total weight lost: 76.8
Challenge weight loss: 36.8

This week's successes: I only went crazy with my eating for 1 meal
This week's challenges: CHRISTMAS!

I didn't hit my 52 pounds in 52 weeks goal so that is a bummer but I am choosing to be happy with the weight loss that I did have. I learned a lot and I spent 4 months off the rails with my eating. I am most happy that I managed to get back on track. This challenge really helped with that. I didn't want this challenge to be another thing that I started and didn't finish so knowing that I was committed to posting really helped me regain control. Here's to beginning a new year and a new challenge!

Goal weight: 155
1/1/19 - Current weight: 188
Total weight lost:

12/30-1/5
This week's successes: I have been tracking everyday, increasing water and exercise and I feel good!
This week's challenges: Not in a good routine with all the holidays, need to resist temptations and make mindful choices.

Hello everyone! I joined this group last January and I did great for 5 months, but I couldn’t seem to stick with it after that. I would like to do a restart. Even though I am down 12 lbs since last year, I feel like I had to fight just to maintain that. With all that said, I’m hoping for a better 12 months:)

Original Starting weight- 174.3
This years starting weight- 162.2
