Starting weight: 199.0 lbs
Goal weight: 130.0 lbs
Current weight: 194.2 lbs
Total weight lost: 4.8 lbs
This week's successes: I started to incorporate (small) weight lifting and some dancing into my routine even when I wasn't motivated to do it. After finishing each session, I felt really good about it.
This week's challenges: I almost always have a sweet tooth that I cave into too often and afterwards I often feel unsatisfied anyways.
Next week's goal: It's kinda weird but towards the topic of cleaning my bedroom, finding a job, and reorganizing in general, I'm unmotivated and a bit stressed out. However, when I try to start the process of any of it, I just feel so overwhelmed. My goal for next week is to work through each thing a little bit at a time. Just start with 10 minutes and work my way up.

Admission I have reduced my start weight made a mess of converting from UK stones and pounds to US pounds but at least I was lighter than I thought! New numbers are now correct.
Challenge for this week to log food every day.4 -
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.

I'm late, but IN!!! I just weighed myself and lost 4 pounds so that has motivated me to do more which is why I have decided to join this challenge.
My Goal for the rest of this month is to continue drinking lots of water, put working out back into my schedule, and watching my sugar intake. I also would like to lose two more pounds before the month is over.

2020/01/08: 192.5
2020/01/15: 190.7
2020/01/22: 187.2I'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.

“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 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!
