2017~~52 Pounds in 52 Weeks Challenge

Week 11:

Challenge starting weight: 230lbs
Goal weight: 178 lbs
Current weight: 117.5 lbs
Total challenge weight lost:12.5 lbs

This week's successes: I gave up my cushy desk job to work in a retail store, so I am standing and walking 6 hours a day, six days a week. In the beginning my legs and my feet ached so bad at the end of my shift, now I get tired but not hurting as bad.

This week's challenges: Since I am working evenings, I get off work right before my gym closes so I have one day off a week to get to the gym. I get off at 9:00 pm, eat dinner around 10:00 pm, and go to bed around 1:00 am. I tried working out in the morning before I go to work, but it is too much for my legs and then standing for 6 hours. I need to find a way to get cardio in my routine.

Starting weight 1st Jan: 231lbs
Goal weight: 186 lbs
Current weight: 221 lbs
Week weight loss: 0
Total weight lost: 10lbs
This week's successes: Having stayed the same after a week of exercise and staying within calorie limits, I've gone through my intake with a fine toothcomb and found that my sugar intake has been over most days and my carbs under, which probably explains the constant hunger, which I believed to be down to exercise.
This week's challenges: As above, getting the sugar down and the carbs up

Start date 1/1/2017

Starting weight: 161
Goal weight: 120

Success: Finally in the double digit loss column!!! Focusing on how to change eating habits by prelogging. Amazing how much you can eat when you plan ahead.

Challenges: Minor surgery on hip restricted exercise activities for a few days. Back to it today but avoiding anything that touches the back of my hip. Ouch!

Starting weight: 197 (206)

This week's challenges: Haven't done any food shopping and it's lashing it down, so cobbling together food this week. Good to have a clean out though

Starting weight: 273.8
Goal Weight: 150
Current weight: 256.6
Total Weight Loss: - 17.2
This week’s successes: Lost instead of gaining even in only .2
This week’s challenges: Finding the time to walk and stress.

You all are inspiring me. I got interested in this challenge about a month ago just before a big move. Surrounded by boxes and a longer commute makes it really tough to not be stressed and to stay on track. But your losses this year are super helpful to see and I'm getting back on it now thanks to this!

Starting weight-182
Goal weight-145
Current weight-160
Total loss-22lbs
This weeks success would be that I had no weight gain after 2 very difficult weeks. I hope to be past all that for now.
Goals for this week are to have a loss this week. Also keep loging and exersize while going to Chicago for the weekend.

Speaking on behalf of 52 pounds in 52 weeks group, it appears to me we welcome all who want to join and participate in a positive way.

If I did my math correctly it will be impossible for you to lose 52 pounds because your starting weight is 60kg or about 132 pounds. However, the spirit of our group is to encourage each other in our weight loss journeys. With that spirit in mind please join us.
