Week 2

This week's challenges: my son was at grannys this weekend so we had a wee drink so need to go ti the gym more than my usual twice a week this week and stick to diet religiously to hit 2lbs target
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.

OK,
I owe somone an appology....She is a member of this site, is a lovely blonde, and has a name with a D.....
(Great description, I know....probabally describes 20-30% of us). Anyway, She sent a friend request, and I declined it. I should have accepted. And if you re-send I will accept.
You see, it has been a crazy two days, and for some reason I thought I was on Facebook, not MFP. (I do not accept friend requests on facebook, unless I really know the person - in person). So yes, I would really like to be your friend, to offer support, and to help you reach your goal(s).
Sorry for being so rude,
Jenn

I weighed in yesterday.
Challenge SW: 12/29/16: 216.0
CGW 6/15/17: 186.0
GW: approx. 158.0 (based on initial goal body fat of 23%)
UGW: 18-20.5% body fat
Weight loss method: Weighing, measuring and logging all food. Ensuring I have enough protein and good fats for satiety. Kettlebell and lifting workouts. My goal is 130g of protein each day and 25g of fiber. My averages for the week were 131g of protein and 30g of fiber,
No workouts this past week.
My knee was still sore and I wanted to give it a few more days. It feels great today and I’m looking forward to getting back to working out.
1/5/17: 213.0, -3.0
1/12/17: 211.2, -1.8
1/19/17: 209.6, -1.6
1/26/17: 208.4, -1.2
2/1/2017 206.8, -1.6
2/9/2017 205.2, -1.6
2/16/2017 202.8, -2.4
On paper my loss look great, but it’s not. Some of it was definitely water weight from no longer working out (muscles retain water for repair). Plus, I know I didn’t restrict myself enough to really lose 2.4 pounds (my average daily deficit for the week was approx.. 625 cal.). This is the first week where my measurements have not really changed from last week’s. This next week I would love to see my measurements go down with a modest loss (.8-1.2 pounds).
Challenge Loss: -13.2 (25% of the way there and 38.8 to go!).
This past week's challenge: My husband was traveling so it was me vs. four kids and their schedule. Continuing to rest knowing it is the best thing for my knee. I tend to push myself too hard and get burned out. I’m thinking every 4 weeks I need to take a break with the workouts and focus on stretching, mobility and walking.
This past week's successes: Solid logging and average daily deficit. More daily activity due to not being so exhausted from working out, plus my knee feels great today! Looking forward to starting my workouts up again. Realizing as much as I love to workout hard, I need to be in this for life and can’t risk an injury. Extra effort getting in all my protein for the week.
My upcoming week: My husband is traveling again (third week in a row). It will be me vs. kiddos and their schedule again. I will start my workouts again. I plan to workout four times plus walk. I can’t let the fact that my measurements didn’t change frustrate me. Many times frustration will equal a spectacular fall off the wagon. Not this time! Progress not perfection!
Yay for newcomers! You are welcome to send me a friend request.

Weigh in for me today. Valentine’s dinner
and a cracker 
attack contributed to my lack of progress this week (-0.6). No worries though, I’m still ahead of schedule on this 52 pounds in 52 weeks trek. Also I’m still recovering from shoulder surgery. In four more weeks (13 Mar) I’ll be cleared to use my arm again and get back to my regular exercise routine!

Midway June 26th (goal 211 lbs):
This week's successes: Stayed on track with meal plan (even through the weekend)
This week's challenges: Not letting this week's weight loss make me lazy
Side note: When I signed up for this challenge, I was just like wahoo a new challenge sign me up. I t was not until today that I started thinking where would I be at the midway point (26 weeks) and at 52 weeks. 26 week will be somewhere around the week of June 25th and the of course 52nd week the last of December. By really thinking of that midway point makes it clearer that I should be 26lbs lighter at this moment or at least close to it and not play around. So for me by June 25th I should be in the area of 211lb (which is so nice to write) 13 -

This week's successes: Can’t think of any to be honest.
This week's challenges: Wow, it’s been a hell of a week. I got struck with a major sinus infection that had me bedridden for a week. As a result, I relied on my hubby to bring me most of my meals. So a lot of fast food, microwaveable frozen foods, etc. happened. Also I haven’t had any exercise. I have fallen right back into all my old habits. I haven’t even been logging my food. I’m back to at least feeling well enough to return to work, but I’m still struggling with the last symptoms of my illness and it’s making it hard to get back on track. I shudder to think what the scale will say when I get on it this Tuesday, but I’m determined to continue to try. Wish me luck.
