NOTE: Kicking off the challenge this year ... it has been around since who knows ... at least 2017, but didn't see it in the challenges for 2022.
I personally need the weekly visibility to my ups & downs throughout the year so that I don't disappear and give up.

GOOD LUCK!

I just (re)started on MFP last week. My weigh-ins are weekly and my weigh in day is Monday. My goal is to lose 47 lbs.

I plan on posting before and after photos in Success Stories with every 5 lbs lost. I will also take new measurements with every 5 lbs lost.
If you wish to see my Before photos, they are here: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10854113/i-did-it-before-and-ill-do-it-again-before-photos#latest

I did this same thing back in late 2020 with much success - I lost 20 lbs in 4 months.

Last week's successes: exercise was great. Weather was nice so we went for walks a lot. My nutrition was decent
This week's challenges: sweets and snacking. It's hard for me to make things for my family and not over indulge. I really want to be better at having a single helping when we have treats. Or at least not 5.

CrazyComicLady

Hi all. I’m Steph, 33yr and 5’4
I got very close to my goal weight last summer then fell off the rails big time due to extreme stress. Back on the waggon now and ready to undo the damage. Aiming to lose 24lbs

WEIGHT LOSS GOAL:

Successes:
Started a new medication called mirtazapine 2 weeks ago. I’m feeling better than I have in years, the downside is it’s really affecting my weight loss, every pound is putting up a fight now. I’ll get there ^_^ I’ve made tremendous progress with cleaning the house and selling/donating things.

Challenges:
I have 5 days left to complete my Fitbit bingo board. 30k steps to go! Wish me luck.

Yep! Just post your info each week. It's easiest to just copy/update/paste each week (for me anyway)

Last week's successes: Finished January with my biggest weight loss since week 1 of the new year.

This week's Challenges: January was easy for me to stay motivated. Now comes the first week of February. One pound per week will be more difficult than it was in January, but I accept the challenge!

🌟 Last week's successes: I logged my food every day and stayed under my daily goal. I've lost 5% of my body weight 🎉🎉🎉
💪 This week's challenges: Staying motivated as my weightloss slows down. I weigh every day and I seem to have stalled again 🤔 I'm in my mid monthly cycle, which makes me hungry and plays havoc with my water weight. I will stay strong 💪

I participated in this challenge for several years, achieved my goal and maintained it for a couple of years. 2 years ago my daily routine changed and the past year has been almost constant travel. I've struggled with a new normal routine for myself. Now the challenge of living that new routine with the travel continuing.

Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.
A pound a week seems reasonable. Why is it so hard?
5 down 47 weeks till 2023 🎉

Female, Age 61, 5’3”
Weigh In Day is Monday!

Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last
2019 SW: 245 (1/2/2019) BMI 43.4
2020 SW: 235 (1/1/2020) BMI 41.6
2021 SW: 212 (1/1/2021) BMI 37.6 NOTE: Low 201.1 in August 2021

2022 Starting Weight: 209 BMI 37.0 (1/1/2022)
Goal for 2022: <200 (Dr set target to reach & stay under 200)
Stretch Goal for 2022: <170 (Overweight instead of obese)

Last week's successes: Decided to stop this train wreck and started behaving better when making choices!
This week's challenges: Drink more water and get the daily net calories (total consumed - exercise calories earned) - back under 1500 as a step in the right direction.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Challenging month only because I wasn't focused and let things like calories pile up! More ups than downs. Time to turn things around.

Last week's successes: Stayed on track even though the scale wasn’t budging.
This week's challenges: Going to CA with my daughter, for the weekend, to celebrate my birthday (Disneyland tomorrow). Traveling is usually an excuse to eat an insane amount of food and then be off plan for weeks/months. So I'm excited to be traveling but so nervous because I don't want it to derail me. I want to enjoy the trip but also stay on track.
