    Found the challenge for 2017 to be very motivational. While I am relatively close to my goal weight, those last few lbs are proving to be very stubborn and the holidays haven't helped.

    Usual weigh-in day is Saturday
    Original starting weight (Jan 15/17): 206.8
    Challenge starting weight: 162.6
    Goal weight: 156.0

    @tammierlewis @MissMaggieMuffin
    Happy to see other Returnees to the 52# in 52 weeks challenge. We know this is a REALISTIC goal but over the past two years I have learned that I had to keep focused every week.

    Looking forward to my my first 2018 Weigh In on Thursday!

    Finally got a few minutes, so I went back and read your 'successes' and 'challenges'. You all gave me a lot to think about. I'm confident revisiting this challenge throughout the week/year will help me keep my head in the game! Thanks for the inspiration!

    Several years ago I lost >40# using MFP. It was the only thing that ever worked for me. Mostly due to stress I went back to my drugs of choice, cookies and donuts. I want to get close to 200# for the first time since high school.
