Thanks for the tip to get a ticker. You are a real team player2 -
I weighed in yesterday:
MFP SW: 218.0
CSW: 216.0 (12/29/2016)
Current Weight: 206.8
Weekly Loss: 1.6
Challenge Loss: 9.2 (17.7% of my way to 52 pounds!)
Total weight loss: 11.2;
GW: 23% body fat initially (I just recalculated and that translates into approx 158 pounds), then go from there.
This week's successes: Logged everyday. Four workouts in six days. Recognizing when my body needs recovery days, instead of pushing it too hard and burning out. Did not use lack of sleep to fall off the wagon. Planned my food around a basketball tournament and didn’t use the tournament as an excuse to go over on calories.
Upcoming week's challenges: Just keep moving forward on all fronts. I’ve been doing great for a month, but there are still 11 months to go. I need to keep the long-term perspective in mind. I usually fall off the wagon when something gets tough around the 3-month mark. I need to keep this in mind as I continue this journey. My mantra is something like: If things get tough increase calories to no more than maintenance. DO NOT THROW PROGRESS AWAY. Know my maintenance calories for goal weight and eat that, which is still somewhat of a deficit. Also, keeping food tasty and interesting. My goal is to try at least two new healthy recipes this month. Will be looking for new ones soon.

Isn't it amazing what slow and steady weight loss can do?! We're a month in...a little less for some...and most are having success! Way to go!
If you're not having success, try to honestly log what you're eating...when I plateau, it's because I stop logging.
Celebrate your successes and shake off the setbacks. Nothing can stop you!12 -

Needing to remember that good changes are not always the changes that come all at once. When I did this last time I was successful going nice and slow. Make new habits, then they last. Also remember that a number is just a number, the real test is how you feel. 12 -

This week's successes: eating healthy all week and somehow managed to get to the gym 2 times when i have a baby/work full time/college full time studying fitness health and nutrition

Week 3
Starting weight: 214.6 lbs
Goal weight: 155lbs
Current weight: 210.2lbs
Weight Lost this week: 2lbs GAIN
Total weight lost: 4.4lbs
This week's successes: I went to the gym twice this week for the full 1 hour session each time and I have written up an exercise plan with beginners FITT principles in place, Target was 2lbs a week so I'm happy because in total my goal by this week was to be 4lbs in total loss so I'm on target and will not let this week get to me - I'm also upping my gym days to 3 times per week so I'm getting the weekly recommended cardio and Resistance training per week
This week's challenges: I'm not drinking any alcohol this weekend as (1) I have my son and (2) I did enough of that last weekend with my son being at granny's that's what definitely through me off as didn't eat/drink clean 2/3 days. Its also going to be hard upping my gym to one more day as with work and college and the gym so far I'm missing my son so so much but I'm doing this for him. Also finding time to meal prep so to not spend on quick healthy expensive things when I can do that at home.
Week 4
Starting weight: 214.5 lbs
Goal weight: 155lbs
Current weight: 208.7lbs
Weight Lost this week: 1.5lbs loss
Total weight lost: 5.9lbs
This week's successes: by this week I should be at 6lbs total loss and 0.1 away which doesn't bother me as been at the gym 3 days this week - tried new foods - upped my protein a little and know what I am doing in the gym more now rather than just going in and going to any piece of equipment - A loss is a loss at the end of the day and my gain would be in muscle as doing a lot of strength training on my arm so I have a little muscle to be able to burn fat more efficiently there.
This week's challenges: as I was a tinny bit off target I will not have my Friday glass of prosecco when son is sleeping lol - my niece, her boyfriend and daughter are wanting me and son to go for dinner, its not the food I will struggle with that's not an issue just being the only sober 1 I don't really like drinking its just drunk people especially loved ones are the most annoying ha-ha. Need to stretch out my gym sessions a little don't feel as sore as I should. 7 -
