@Jimb376mfp Thanks for keeping us rolling in 2018!
I just wrapped up my 2017 in the old thread. I didn't lose 52 pounds, but I lost over 30! 31.7 to be exact. I've loved being in here with other people who help keep me inspired. Looking forward to the new year.
I will not lose 52 pounds this year. My original goal weight was 175, but I am resetting that to 165 for this year. I have about 30 pounds to go. I'll be happy as a clam if I keep at a pace of about a half a pound a week.
My weigh in day is Monday, which happens to coincide nicely with New Years Day. So to start a new year from scratch:
Week 0
Starting weight: 194.9

This weeks successes:
Making it through the holiday season without going totally overbaord on food etc.

It's going to be cold - get my exercise in anyway.

@junodog1
We both got to Onederland in 2017 on this Challenge!
We are both heading for GW, even though we don’t need to lose 52# this year we can continue to lose a Pound a Week until we get there!
We are proof that TRYING to lose ONE pound a week adds up over 52 weeks!5 -
