    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 :o

    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.

    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

    1 / 1/20 - 176.
    1/15/20 - 172.5
    1/22/20 - 171.
    1/29/20 -

    • Got past 20% of the estimated weight loss needed to reach my goal.

    This week's challenges:
    • Really tempting to just stop. Need to keep fighting.
    • Overate sweets I'd brought into the house as an experiment (fun packs). Guess I'm not ready to try that yet.

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

    Challenge Starting Weight:
    197.1

    This week's challenges:
    • I'm down to walking as an option for extended LISS, and even that hurts.

    Q1 History:
    2020/01/01: 197.1

    2020/01/15: 190.7
    2020/01/22: 187.2
    2020/01/29: 185.0
    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.
