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!

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 -

This week: bad weather, couldn't go out-ate clean
This weeks challenge: Back to exercise class
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.
Have a great week everyone.8 -

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.
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 -
