2017~~52 Pounds in 52 Weeks Challenge
Replies
-
Starting weight: 226.4 lbs
Goal weight: 155 lbs
Current weight: 201.7 lbs
Total Weight Loss so far: 24.7 lbs
This week's successes: Participated in a 12km walk. I had been training for it since January and it was an amazing feeling to finish. And then the next day, I had my 2nd Boot Camp work out session and I did much better than I did at the first class.
This week's challenges: I gave myself a week off from my walking, so I needed to take extra care with what I was eating to stay within my calories.

Thanks @dabeck62 . I really didn't think MFP would work. I have tried so many different ways to lose weight without much success. After almost 3 months, I just can't believe how well it is working, and how sustainable it really is once you get into the groove. I think it also helped that I was training for a 12km walk. I need to find another challenge now, as we are approaching winter, and that is when I go into hibernation mode....

Week 13: Weekly Goals MATTER!
SW 273.8
GW 221
CW 254.8
This weeks Loss: 3.2
Total Weight Lost 19.0
Weekly Goal: Meal plan through next weekend and break the -20lb mark!
This Week's Successes: Made it through my entire weekend sticking to my plan. Worked out both days and did not stray when it came to food. Weekends are always my biggest struggle and I'm super proud of myself. I have been setting small weekly goals and it is really paying off. Loving working out at home, since the weather has been so cold and rainy.
This Week's Challenges: While I did not go rogue this weekend on food, I could have done better. I was low on my veggie consumption and had more carbs than I would have liked. Next weekend I will be focusing on meal planning and actually eating 3 real meals rather than grazing all day.

Back in the losing column for this week. Clean eating was the key to success this week. However, this past weekend included three days working out of the house and a Saturday night dinner party. So I’ll have to tighten up my discipline for the rest of the week to stay with a losing trend.

This week's successes: Immersing myself in exercise routines. I have been running, doing calisthenics, lifting weights, cardio strength routines, and yoga. So much yoga. I've been doing the yoga and calisthenics reliably for about 3 weeks now, and integrated running exercises and strength training for the past two weeks, along with an amazing workout concept of doing superset cardio exercises with dumbbells and steps. It's absolutely amazing, and torches something like 600 kcals per routine. It's been amazing, and I'm so proud of myself for sticking to learning how to do these things and finding new ways to use my body. The best thing was starting out slow to build my little supportive muscles so I didn't injure myself, and being able to do more so fast because of it. I don't have a lot of time in my day because I have 4 kids, and a crazy more than full time job, so the only way I could fit any exercise in was to actually recognize it as a priority, and to do short sets multiple times a day. I was really surprised to see how much of my day was spent feeling busy doing nothing. It's fantastic to fit three ten minute routines in my day, and a 30-55 minute routine in the evening (when I don't get off work late, which is 3-4 times a week, lol). Sticking to this, and not giving myself any grief when I miss a workout, has done so so much for me. I haven't been able to get down past 190 in over 11 years. At that time, I ballooned up from 180 to 260, and it took me three years to get back down to 200. It was so hard. I tried so hard to get back down to the 180's, but couldn't do it. The lowest I went was in the low 190's. It's been a long road to figure out how to make exercise a priority, and to transform my diet into something healthy and consistent. I want to be a positive model for my family, and I want to live forever while looking good! I'm figuring out how to make this a permanent lifestyle change. I have absolutely no intention of keeping up this level of intensity though. The only reason I have it now is to explore and understand what exercises work for me. We'll see if I can get all the way down to 175, where I plan to tone and shape muscle, and then maintain myself. I'm trying to think about two years ahead, so I keep a plan in mind and don't lose my place. Worried that in two years, I'll be right back at 260. Thanks for keeping me accountable! As long as I participate, I'll have something else reminding me! You're all awesome!!
This week's challenges: Getting a higher number of steps every day. I've been doing 3k-6k on busy days, and I want to have a more active lifestyle. Figuring out what that means for me, and how to do it is going to be a real challenge because I already have no freakin' time.8 -

Starting weight: 216
Goal weight: 164
Current weight: 212
Total weight lost: 4
This week's successes: I'm ready to refocus again!
This week's challenges: I fight with logging my meals. I'm great about logging my breakfast, good about logging my lunch, and bad at logging dinner. My new goal is to log everything for the day in the morning...then adjust as necessary. I lose weight when I consistently and truthfully log.
Enough kicking myself! I'm 4 pounds lighter than January 1st... and I'm ready to kick things back into gear!
Love,
Jill

For those of you who seem to be stuck at your current weight...or moving up on the scale...
like I have been for the past month, increase your water and log what you eat. These are my two main focuses.
We can do this together!13
