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!
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 -

With 12 inches of snow yesterday, we could not get the sno thro to start so back to the good ole snow shovels. We cleared ours in 3 segments over 2.5 hours. My muscles are achy today. Will not be going to the gym this week because my car is blocked in with the snow. A little rain will be welcome. In the meantime, I am going to use my treadmill and do some exercises on YouTube while listening to Pandora.0

FYI The 2017 Challenge ended 12/31/17!
I reposted same Challenge with 2018 Date and it’s getting good participation.
My regular WW WI Day was Thursday but VA got hit by Blizzard and cold. I plan to WI and post on Saturday.
My exercise routine has been turned upside down. Pool closure for repairs and weather has me on a funk.
See you on the 2018 Challenge page!1 -
