            Starting weight: 261.3
 Goal weight: 200
 Current weight: 259.3
 Past week weight loss: 0.5
 Total weight lost: 2.0
 Past week's successes: Kept up with the 60 Min/Month Plank Challenge; started free weight strength training and bicycle trainer sessions, but didn’t do much of either.
 This week's challenges: Ramp up bicycle trainer and free weight strength training sessions; keep up with Plank Challenge target; Focus more intensely on dietary control and increased exercise.
 I had one bad day this past week, put on 2.5 lbs and then spent the rest of the week beating up on myself to take it back off . I worked long and hard to end up a measly half a pound down from last week. Probably my most important challenge from now on will be not allowing any more crash+burn days when I put on as much weight as I hope to take off in 2 or 3 weeks.6

            So, the first week out I gained...Thanks TOM. But I made up for it this week. I’ve had my most active week since re-starting my weight loss journey on 20Oct16. (I got in 12,149 fitbit steps in yesterday). That all resulted in a week loss of 3.6 lbs. This puts me back on track for the 1 pound a week goal for each week this year. Two weeks elapsed, 2.8 lbs lost for the year!
 Have a great week everyone!

            Starting weight: 278.4lbs
 Goal weight: 200lbs
 Current weight: 275.2lbs
 Total weight lost: 3.2lbs
 This week's successes: I went to the gym 4 times for over an hour each and worked out every body part imaginable. I also hit my water goal consistently every day which is excited about.
 This week's challenges: Definitely overeating. I was still technically within my calorie goal after working out and I was only eating when I was hungry but I think I still overdid it just a bit.
 I think part of the weight gain was from muscle because I was lifting a lot this week and really working my arm muscles, you can even see them in my arms now and not even just when I flex which I'm super happy about. But even if it wasn't. I'm still gonna keep going! 7 7

 This week: bad weather, couldn't go out-ate clean

 The idea of losing a pound a month has taken away the anxiety and pressure of weight loss. The closer I get to my goal weight the harder it is to lose.

            Vo2max42 has a great idea!!!! Counting her losses in "Hams" as a unit of weight. Using her inspiration I'm going to use my bowling ball (14.5 pounds) as my unit of weight.
 So far I've already lost one bowling ball this year . I'd be happy losing two bowling balls and over the moon happy losing three. . I'd be happy losing two bowling balls and over the moon happy losing three.
 Thanks for the great idea Vo2max42. Looking forward to seeing how many hams you lose this year.

            Week 2
 Starting weight: 238.2
 Goal weight: 180
 Current weight: 252
 Total weight lost: .2 (3.2 since 1/1/2017)
 This week's successes: Did a fair bit of walking while on company trip. Took Uber only once because dinner/company party was the only night we didn't eat local to the part of the city that both the office and the hotel were.
 This week's challenges: Travel to office for meetimgs and company holiday party which included lots of mediocre to poor calorie choices during the trip. And while I tried to track what I ate consistently for the good or the bad I know that I missed stuff.
 All in all the lack of real loss this week is so much better than it could have been.4
