I didn't check in here this year, but I lost 54 pounds I have reached my goal of 130 lbs. In fact, I am currently 129.0!
Big thanks to this thread and the motivation that it gave me to look at the value of a whole year. I was very short-sighted before. But not anymore5 -
2013 Starting weight 376# (age 65)
2017 52/52 Challenge 12/28, week 52
SW: 231.2
Goal weight: 186
Current weight: 187.8
This week: -.4
2017 52/52 Challenge TOTAL -43.4
This week's success: -.4 during Christmas. Ended the year with A LOSS!
Even though I didn’t lose 52# or hit my personal goal of 186 it was s GOOD YEAR! I got to ONEDERLAND a place I have not been to since? 1970?
Next weeks challenge: START the year with A ONE POUND LOSS!
I no longer have 52# to lose but I will continue to log in until I hit my official WW GW. I have not yet set it in stone, I was thinking 185 but my PCP said how about 179? (I’m 5’8” and will be 70yo in February).
I have not been below 200# since? I got down to 202# in 1986 and never got close until 2017!
This challenge has really helped me to FOCUS on just how important it is to really be aware of how much and what I eat. And how much activity I get in, my main exercise is aqua aerobics, swimming laps and walking our dog Sadie. I plan to continue with being active and signed up for Chair Yoga classes beginning 8 January.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!6 -

Jill,
@jm216 Are you going to post this for 2018?
I saw one for 2018 but I liked your simpler format.

Start: 1/1/2017
Start weight: 161
Goal weight: 120
Current weight: 131.2
This week's weight change: +.8
Total weight loss: 29.8
Last weigh in for 2017. Didn't reach my goal but I am well on my way. I have loved being part of this challenge. It has helped me to remain focused and accountable. Hope it continues for 2018. I like the format and encouragement from everyone.
I didn't get any exercise in this past week. I will restart C25K with week 4 this week. There's a local 5K on March 31 that I want to do for my first (maybe only) organized run. I will be ready for it!
Happy New Year!1 -
Hi. Im keen to join in on for 2018. @Jimb376mfp seems like jill has not been active since September. Perhaps you would like to kick off a 2018 thread for us.2

Week: 50
SW: 206.8

While I would have liked to have reached my goal weight by the end of the year, I am so very happy with the changes over the past 50 weeks. When I think back to my state of mind this time last year - fed up with my weight gain and general appearance - I am so happy to be where I am now. A few more pounds to go but I know I will get there.
Happy New Year to everyone!3 -

Congratulations! I see you and I are on track to make our GW IN 2018!
I have used this Challenge for past two years to get me to GW. My first THREE years (2013-2015) were all losses but I needed to refocus my effort on a weekly basis. This Challenge helped me to do just that.
A pound a week at age 69 has been a challenge that I could strive for every week.
@cabman I will post a new 2018 Challenge thread today.3 -
