Successes: Holding on to my losses and staying under my calorie targets.
Challenge: Noticing that staying under my calorie target is not doing it on its own since I've missed several days of activity and have seen no additional losses; getting to the gym has been a challenge. Routine remains a challenge.2 -

Starting weight: 197.1 pounds

5'1" F
Goal: 21.5% body fat
(currently estimated at 140-145)
Current weight: 197.1
Total challenge weight lost: 0.0
This week's successes: Getting back into deficit after a maintenance break.
This week's challenges: Extremely low motivation (for life-ing in general -- not out of the norm, as I battle physical and mental health issues on an ongoing basis).
A heads up: I will likely go faster than 1 pound/week for the first 4-ish months, then looking to tighten up and go into a slow loss followed by a recomp phase. I'll likely make 52 pounds of weight loss on the scale with some skin loss (hopefully), along with lean mass having to do with the support of the fat stores I have. I am aiming to maintain/increase muscle mass and bone density, so that may throw off the scale results. I do hope to reach my goal body fat percentage by the year's end, whatever scale weight that puts me at.

“Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.” Robert CollierA pound a week sounds reasonable ... especially for those of us over 50! Reporting in on Wednesdays since I consider that my official WI this year.
I'll turn 60 this year and really want to get into Onederland and make it stick this decade!

I would like to join this challenge. I have been at my goal weight a couple of times in the past and know how good it feels. As I get older (57), it is getting harder to do the things I need to do to lose and maintain the lower weight. I am looking forward to reaching my goal again this year. Let's do this!

Today's weight: 222.1 Very disappointed with this. I went off the rails last Saturday morning when I ate out with a friend and did a painting class, but that was it and got back on track by the afternoon. This week I've had an awful time with arthritis pain so maybe the inflammation is storing fluid. Who knows? Still at it exercising every day even though I want to just be under a blanket on the couch. I've been on a heating pad for my back almost every day. Rough week. Hoping for a turn around soon.
Total weight loss for this week: +1.2
This week's successes: Not really sure there were any. I did get lots of exercise.
This week's challenges: Get that weight back down under 220 and then press on to further losses.

Success this week: Lost 0.8 lbs. Already missed my one-pound per week goal for 2020. I knew this day would come, but I didn’t think it would come in January. Oh well. On to February.
Challenge this week: February, I’m going to only weigh myself once a week. This is a huge challenge for me as I have a bit of an obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) about weighing-in more than once daily. Typically it is the first thing I do in the morning, the last thing I do before bed and I can be found stepping on the scales at random times during the day. I know this is a bad OCD behavior and I’m going to use this forum to address it. I’ll report here and all of you can hold me accountable. See you all and my scale again next week

This week's successes: Stayed with it even though I'm losing very slowly.
This week's challenges: I'm super frustrated by the plateau that I'm experiencing.3 -
This week has been busy which has made it a challenge to prep and prepare healthy meals at home for myself. I have been consistent with drinking more water though.
I understand what stormywxs288 is saying about becoming obsessed with the scale. I weigh myself everyday. 1st thing in the morning and usually when I get home from work and sometimes before I go to bed. I log my weight on Wednesdays and then log onto this challenge on saturday or sunday reporting the weight from Wednesday.
My biggest challenge right now is getting myself to move again.
successes - logging my food.
challenges - staying within calorie goal/moving my body besides being at work.
short term goal - be under 170 by February 5th
