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.

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.

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.

03/20 - 262.6 SW
04/10 - 253.4 CW

1 week loss = 2.2 lb
Total loss = 9.2 lbs
Eventual Goal - size 6US

This week's successes: Actually went on a walk yesterday, went slowly but went anyway.

Last week's challenges: Same as always, stress from work.

SW: 277.2lbs (Jan 16, 2017)
CW: 251lbs
GW: 150lbs by Feb, 2018

Last Week's Weight loss: 0 lb
Total Loss - 26.2 lbs

I'm surprised I didn't gain.

Starting weight: 282lbs (03 April 2017)
Goal weight: 180 lbs (To fit into the "Normal" BMI for my height)
100 lb loss target date: April 1 2018
Goal weight target date: April 1 2018
Goal loss rate: 2 lb per week

Current weight: 275lbs
Next milestone: 230 lbs by 25 Sept 2017
Total loss: 7 lbs

What's going well:
I track everything (my first time counting calories)
I have started counting steps with a goal of 10k/day
I have found foods that are not calorie dense which help me stay under my calorie goal without starving

What's going poorly:
I have been getting the late night munchies, so I have been trying to pre-log a late night snack to ensure that I do not go over

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.
