SW: 285 lbs
CW: 207.6 lbs
UGW: 135 lbs
Interim Milestone Goal: 205 lbs (80lbs lost)
Loss this week: -3.2lbs
Total loss: 77.4lbs
What's Working:- Keto keto keto!!
- Intermittent Fasting: 18:6 (18 hrs fasting, 6hr feed window). I follow 18:6 and fast as close to sunset as possible, as per the Circadian rhythm method. I only intake water until its time to break my fast. I have coffee inside my feed window.
- I use the app called Zero and it has been an awesome tool to track my fasting.
- 3L of water a day minimum: 1 of those liters is made with No-Salt for Potassium, electrolyte management. And I have that one after I break my fast.
What I Need to Work on:- Meeting protein goal daily
- Be more mindful of re-calculating my macros every 10-15lbs lost. As I've lost more and more fat, my protein goal has increased. Macros macros macros!
- Incorporating walking with my husband.
Current Inspiration:
New bathing suit for our trip to the cabin at the end of June.

SW: 325lbs
CW: 285.1lbs
GW: Initially 180lbs and then I'll decide from there how much lower I might want to go.
Loss Last Week: -1.9lbs
Total Loss - 39.9lbs - soooo close to my 40lb lost milestone.
Short term goal: 290lbs (working in 10lb blocks because it feels a whole lot more manageable!) Time to set a new goal - 280lbs it is...hopefully by the end of April.
What's Working:
As usual..tracking, tracking, tracking.
Walking - oh the walking. Since getting my fitbit I've taken so many more steps per day. I always get a fair few in when I'm out and about because I rely on public transport and my own two feet but with the hourly reminders to walk steps from my fitbit I'm getting in even more when I'm at home!
What's Not:
Water drinking was bad this week. This is still something I struggle with but I am getting better than I was. I've been adding in cups of herbal tea as well to help with hydration.1 -
SW: 286
CW: 278
Loss this week: 2 lbs
Total loss: 8 lbs
Weight goal one: 260 in June

End weight goal: 160
What's working: logging. It's second nature now.
Added exercise the last two weeks. Swimming two days a week and starting using the weight machines at the Y.

Goals to work on this week: increase water, try and log 4 workouts this week.1 -

CW: 258.5 lbs, 04/09
Loss last week: -3.5 lbs
Total loss: -37.5 lbs
What's working, what's not:
Finally got my long overdue whoosh. I think I need to focus more on my salt, to remove some of my water weight fluctuations.
My calories in are good, but still not walking regularly.

Hi all, I can't believe I never noticed this here. I am cutting and pasting from a lose 52 pounds in 52 weeks challenge. It started before I did but I'm enjoying seeing everyone's changes and what is working and challenging them. My weekly weigh in is tomorrow but here is where I was last Monday. I just figured out what SW, CW, and GW mean so there is that mini success. Yea, it's obvious in hindsight, lol.
03/20 - 262.6 SW
04/03 - 255.2 CW
1 week loss = 2.2 lb
Total loss = 7 lbs
GW - I don't know, I say 139 but I just want to wear a size 6US in most clothes. I don't care if I put on muscle and weigh 150.
Last week's successes: Logged every day and have been looking for patterns (eg I was hungry when I haven't been and saw I didn't have a lot of fiber that day and am going to see if that is the root)
Last week's challenges: Work is to the point I'm ready to walk out with no job (and 1 income and a mortgage). I won't overeat because of it but I worry that the stress will inhibit continued weight loss.
I'll update tomorrow but thanks for having this year, it's super interesting and motivational.1 -
SW: 287.6 (Feb. 17th)
Last week - 258.8
CW:249.6
GW: 150
Total loss to date ---> 38 lbs
Still working on my short term goals for the month of 245 by Easter & 237 by April 30th. I am a little nervous after having a big loss this week. Which I know half was water weight from the week before. I was happy to see that i lost the pounds gained from previous week of splurges and then to see a loss on top of that.
This week I worked hard. I did my 5K daily and improved my time from 48-52 minutes to 44:17. That felt great. I also did weights 4 days this week and Zumba 3 days. I am going to try to make sure to fit all that in my schedule this week. I have so much to do.
No real struggles this past week. I stayed pretty focused and it paid off.

Loss Last Week: -2.5lbs
Total Loss - 42.4lbs - WOOHOO, I made 40lb lost (and change!)
Short term goal: Aiming for 280lbs by the end of April
What's Working:
As usual..tracking, tracking, tracking. A couple of times I've caught myself thinking "Oh, it's a bite, no need to track" - that's a slippery slope so I tracked it immediately.
My exercise has been awesome this week. I've been following the HASfit.com 30 day beginner program and it's kicking my *kitten*! In a really good way.
What's Not:
Still that water drinking. It's getting better but there's so much room for improvement. When I'm home I have no troubles but when I'm out and about I just seem to forget to hydrate - then I feel it the next day!5 -

GW: 14 st 7lb (big goal - lose 10 stones!)
Next small goal : below 23 st by end of April.
Loss this week : -5lbs

What's working : staying within calorie limit every day and mindfully moving about a bit more, pushing about the double buggy more than usual this week, definitely feeling it in my legs. NSV - jeans getting a bit looser now.
What could be better: (occasionally) feel a bit hungry (hungry!) in the evening if I've used up a lot of my allowance to have a bigger breakfast /lunch and not been left much dinner wiggle room.

03/20 - 262.6 SW
04/17 - 253.0 CW
1 week loss = .4 lb
Total loss = 9.6 lbs
Eventual Goal - size 6US
This week's successes: I am trucking along but nothing specific from the last week stands out.
Last week's challenges: I think this is getting harder rather than easier. I wasn't hungry until this past week. I wonder if it is PMS though.
Upcoming challenge: I also have a mini-challenge with a MFP friend here to weigh ourselves for a month and instead will take measurements before and after. I don't do measurements but I have a never worn pair of jeans I shoved myself into and I'll try them again in a month. That way assuming they actually fit, the scale will be proven to be irrelevant. I'm glad I'm doing this because my scale went weird this morning. It's fairly new and supposed to be pretty reliable as far as consistency but it was all over the place today. I just took the one that I got the most often and it was the most in the middle number. I also moved it to another bathroom so I won't see it every morning in my own.2 -

Try and stay within the macros - I go over on sodium a lot.
