    Start date: 1/1/2017
    Start weight: 161
    Goal weight: 120
    Current weight: 147.0

    Loss this week: .02

    This weeks success: I ran on the treadmill this week! Walk 2 minutes run 1 minute intervals. It's getting easier. Had to buy new jeans. Down from a size 12/14 to a size 6/8!

    Challenges this week. Disney! I think I balanced the not so good food choices with extra walking. Going again next week and the week after.

    Starting weight: 231
    Goal weight: 186
    Current weight: 218.5
    Total weight lost: 12.5
    Weekly loss: 0
    This weeks successes: Somehow staying the same weight despite having a change of treat day so "overspent last Saturday and Tuesday", nothing now until next Saturday so expect weight loss to continue.

    This week's/months challenges: As it's the end of the month measured myself and thanks to MFP analysed the last month's eating habits. My plan includes roughly one treat day a week, sometimes 2 in 10 days then nothing for 10 days as I'm a shift worker. My review shows only 2.5lb lost this month, but that I had 10 treat days, more than double my allowance which shows how these things can creep up on you. So getting back on track to 4-5 treat days this month is the challenge

    Starting Weight (04/25/17): 219.4 lbs
    First Goal Weight: 198 lbs
    Final Goal Weight: 130 lbs

    Week 1 -- 05/01/17: 215.6 (-3.8 week/-3.8 total)

    Successes: Losing some weight! Gaining some energy and having more confidence in my weight loss this time around. Now I am striving so much more to do better. Was able to stick to my diet much more with pre-cooking everything for the week.

    Challenges: Eating out! I only ate out once but the location was very VERY limited on healthy options (that I liked at least). But chopping it up to a "reward meal" and moving forward.

    Here's to week 2!

    This week's challenges:

    In addition to trying to eat better, and walking or running at least 1 mile a day intentionally, I am also going to go 30 days with no alcohol. I love a nice glass of merlot at the end of my day, but it's time for a change.

    Week 17

    Starting weight: 226.4
    Goal weight: 175
    Last week weight: 206.8
    This week weight: 206.1
    This week loss: 0.7
    Total weight loss: 20.3

    Weekly purge:
    What is it about crossing a decade that we like so much? I broke 20 pounds this week! Woo hoo! Something about it is extra satisfying, just like going under 200 will be.

    Week was OK. Had to get up early every day to carpool with the husband as DD is borrowing our car whilst hers is in for repairs. Car is getting all kinds of goodies, new quarter panel, new hood, new radiator, new tie rod, and more. Oh boy! On the bright side, the forced early to work may be just the tweak I needed to start regularly going to work early. Once I am up and at ’em the early morning is a nice place.

    Last week’s challenges:
    :) Eat daily recommended servings of Fruit and Veg was doing great and then Sunday, the last day, I got into the Trader Joes Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups. Still ate better veg than usual overall
    :) Time one mile walks and try to make improvement Did it
    :| Take at least one box of stuff to Goodwill. Got the box; delivery still pending

    New week challenges
    We are starting month five now of 2017 and I need to make sure I stay focused. I was lucky enough to join a new group challenge at Ilvermorny Castle. I will have tasks from the school for the next month. I am motivated by feeling that I need to perform for the success of the group.

    As for my dietary habits, I hope that the ever-getting-closer short-term goal of Onederland will keep me on track. Even yesterday, when I pigged out on the aforementioned PB cups (which are a piece of heaven) I stayed under my calorie goal.

    Some goals for this week:
    • Be green for the week overall in calories. (Sun – Sat)
    • Rewrite resume
    • Call Mom


    All ya'll out there - if you can, call your mom. If you can't - well, you can explain to those who can but don't why it is important.

    I don't have a goal weight. Lowest I have ever been is 168, I feel good and strong from there to 180. Sounds like a lot, but I actually don't appear healthy much below 170. If I can accomplish lower and still look and feel healthy, strong and happy, that would be great.

    Height: 6'0"
    Starting weight:206 (Feb 11th)
    Goal weight:170 (but then add 15-20 lbs of muscle over time)
    Current weight:183
    Total weight lost:23 lbs.
    This week's successes: Keeping at it and remembering to do some exercises. I set up some challenges for myself, and met them half way by doing what I set out to do, but at half the pace. lol

    This week's challenges: Sticking to a schedule for exercise so I don't feel like it's unintentional and ok to skip. It's a lifestyle change, ya got that, self? :smiley:

    I started collecting materials to build my own pull up bar, rings, and weight sets. Some steel pipe, some PVC, a little elbow grease. It's coming along very nicely. I made a sweet 6' weighted rod with a 1" piece of iron pipe inside of a 1-1/4" piece of PVC. I put threaded caps on both ends to hold the PVC and steel tight, but still let me open it to fill with sand as I need more weight. It's a bizarre, super versatile exercise tool. Hooray for DIY! I plan on making a dip station out of PVC next! but only if I put these things to good use for a while first...

    I have been on my journey for 31 days
    My starting weight was 268
    My current weight is 229
    My goal weight is 180

    It has been hard to maintain the balance and not feel like I am starving...... I work out 5 days per week eat smaller healthier portions

    I am happier now that I am starting to lose weight annoyed my clothes are getting too big and can't wait to finally achieve my goal so I can keep up with my children :)
