    Current Weight (28-day average):
    193.7

    Weekly change in 28-day average:
    +0.6

    Cumulative change (Month/Quarter/Year):
    +0.4/+1.2/-3.4

    This week's successes:
    • Accurate logging.
    • Maintaining meeting my step goal, added 100 more steps/day (current goal streak at 149 days).
    • Have returned to consistently strength training.
    • Getting med issues worked out somewhat by changing timing of dose.
    • Getting back into the groove FINALLY, at least somewhat.

    This week's challenges:
    • Slipped and had a mega-binge on Sunday. I think I've learned the lesson related to that one to avoid similar ones going forward.
    • This coming week will begin the cyclical downward slide. Must remain vigilant.

    Truly, I'm not sure what's going on with the weight jump, as I'd think Sunday's binge should have worn off by now (I did not eat THAT much as to gain more than a pound). With training water weight added, I was really expecting to see somewhere around 193-194. Must be some other water fluctuation... frustrating.

    Stats/SW/Goal
    High Weight/Stats:
    252.0 pounds, 5'1" F

    Challenge Starting Weight:
    197.1

    • Did strength training for the first time in more than a month.

    This week's challenges:
    • Can't seem to find the groove to get back into deficit
    • Stuck in a slump fatigue-wise, might be due to a new med, so checking in with Dr.

    Original post:
    I'm not sure I have 52 pounds of fat that I want/need to lose at this point, but I'm close enough that I'm going to call myself "in."

    Starting weight: 197.1 pounds
    (HSW: 252, MFP restart: 242.7)
    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.

    Goal weight: 150
    Current weight: 198.2
    Total weight loss: 20.2

    I haven’t logged since February since I was embarrassed that I fell off the wagon and basically gained everything back. The last 5 weeks I’ve gotten my crap together and have been more motivated than I have in a long time and am loving the results!

    This week's successes: I stuck to my calorie goals and workouts
    This week's challenges: Not to over do it on my cheat day- that sometimes puts be a few lbs behind each week.
