    Starting weight: 190.0 (1/1/20)
    Goal weight: 155.0
    Current weight: 180.0 (1/19/20)
    Total weight lost: 10lbs

    This week's successes: Lost more than one pound this week! My MFP calorie count has me on a pace to lose only one pound per week. However, whenever I start adhering to keto I always have big weight losses in the first few days, so this comes as no surprise.

    This week's challenges: The benefit of a whoosh (10 lb loss) getting back into ketosis is over. Now the real work begins; maintaining keto discipline, keeping up with my workout routine, adhering to an 18/6 IF schedule, getting 8 hours of sleep each night and several other healthy habits I want to start/keep this new year. My challenge is staying motivated as my weight loss slows down.

    This week's successes: Stayed within calorie range
    This week's challenges: I gained!!! I did everything "right" and I gained. It is super annoying! I don't want to let it derail me. In the past I would have given up. It is not a good feeling to work all week and then GAIN.

    Good Morning MFP people. I would like to hop into this challenge if I may! I have been trying to get to my goal of about 150 lbs for forever; at the start of 2019 I was about 230 and at the start of 2020 I was 207...I am putting my starting weight as the starting weight of this challenge.

    I have so many issues that I know will be resolved by finally finally dumping the weight, and I feel really really good about 2020! So here's hoping!


    Starting weight: 207.8 (Jan 1, 2020)
    Highest ever: 242 (2018-ish)
    Goal weight: 150 (for now)
    Current weight: 203.4
    Total weight lost: 4.4
    This week's successes: we shall see...
    This week's challenges: eating what I brought for lunch at work!

    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.

    This week's challenges: sore muscles and working out anyway instead of taking a day off (which has led to months off in the past). Trying to create new habits.

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

    Challenge Starting Weight:
    197.1

    Goal:
    21.5% body fat
    (currently estimated around 140)

    Current Weight:
    187.2

    Weekly change:
    -3.5 (partially hormone water retention change)

    Cumulative change (Month/Quarter/Year):
    -9.9/-9.9/-9.9

    This week's successes:
    • Stuck to my intake goals
    • Strength training 2x
    • Walking
    • Kept fighting the war.

    This week's challenges:
    • I'm down to walking as an option for extended LISS, and even that hurts.
    • Tired. Exhausted. Pain. Constant mental battle. Running on empty. Gotta keep fighting for every step.
    Last week:
    Current Weight:
    190.7

    Weekly change:
    -1.8

    Cumulative change (Month/Quarter/Year):
    -6.4/-6.4/-6.4

    This week's successes:
    • Stuck to my intake goals
    • Strength training 2x
    • Walking

    This week's challenges:
    • Increased pain/physical issues interfering with ability to work out and get a good night's rest.
    • Finding it incredibly hard to keep going (mostly regarding setbacks from the above).

    Q1 History:
    2020/01/01: 197.1
    2020/01/08: 192.5
    2020/01/15: 190.7
    2020/01/22: 187.2
    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.

    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!

    Starting weight: 177.6 (January 1, 2020)
    Goal weight: 130.0
    Current weight: 170.6 (Friday, January 24th)
    Total weight lost: 7.0 lbs
    This week's successes: Ate on plan most of the week.
    This week's challenges: Date night at chicago pizza place this weekend. Weekends are always tougher. Add going out to eat on top of that and it will be a bigger challenge.

    Weigh-in day - Friday
