This is my 4th year using this challenge to keep me focused on my weight loss efforts.
2020 was a challenging year and although I did not meet my goal and actually gained over the year, I have used this challenge with success in previous years and it will work for me again.

Nice job getting under 200 pounds! I’m striving to get there. 👍👍

Lilylady3k

Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.

52 weeks till 2022 🎉

A pound a week seems reasonable I need to quit losing the same pounds over and over. If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up.

2019 Starting Weight: 245 (1/2/2019) BMI 43.4
2020 Starting Weight: 235 (1/1/2020) BMI 41.6
2021 Starting Weight: 212 (1/1/2021) BMI 37.6
Goal for 2021: <200 BMI 35 (Dr set target before next physical)
Stretch Goal for 2021: <170 (Overweight instead of obese)
Current weight: 210.1 BMI 37.2
Total weight lost: 34.9
Past week's successes: Meal planning, set exercise goals, started 2021 bullet journal (continued from Aug-Dec 2020).
This week's challenges: Execute on the plan! Plus need to reach my daily goal of water which I’ve let slide the past 2 months.

My goal for 2021 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

Week 0. A new year
Thanks Tammie for setting this up. As you said, last year’s challenge was, well, challenging. While I managed to lose weight, I fell short of the mark and need to join the 2021 challenge to finish. I am nearing a 'Healthy' BMI and need less than 52 pounds this year, but I will be here, week after week, until I get there.

Starting weight 1/1/2021: 192 lbs

Hi, I'm David. Brand new to MFP. Last time I was at my goal weight was about 20 years ago. Since then a very sedentary job and lifestyle have taken their toll. Now retired and I want to get more active and lose up to 80 lbs. Goal for now is just 50, though, in about a year.

Hi Everyone, I am new to this. Just weighed myself and realize that I have been avoiding the true number for a while. I know I’ve gained weight, but I have been avoiding the honest numbers. Time to get real and lovingly make my health a priority and goal.

I didn't make "new year's resolutions," as it were, but I am pretty sure I can get halfway to GW this year, which is about 50-52 lbs. I weigh in on Fridays.

Starting weight: 252.8 lbs as of 11/13/2020
Goal weight: 160 lbs, then reevaluate
Current weight: 247.4 lbs as of 1/1/2021
Total weight lost: 5.4 lbs (cheating a little bit, since I started six weeks before the end of last year ;P)

This week's successes:
* The enchiladas I've prepped for dinner the next two nights clocked in a lot lighter than I was expecting them to be.
* I've been able to pre-log my entire day for 3 out of 5 weeknights.
* I restarted a six-week exercise program that I completed last year on Christmas, and it's significantly easier this time around.

This week's challenges:
* Weekends are always a challenge, food-wise, as I don't usually prep anything for those days.
* I'm still struggling with some of the moves in my exercise program, though not as much or as many as I did the first go-round, at least.
* My husband is dealing with a health issue (not COVID). This isn't specifically related to my weight-loss journey, but it's a source of stress.
