    Week: 50
    SW: 206.8
    GW: 156

    Nov 4: 162.2
    Nov 11: 158.8
    Nov 18: 158.0
    Nov 25: 159.4
    Dec 2: 162.0
    Dec 9: 159.2
    Dec 16: 158.8
    Dec 23: 160.2 :/
    Dec 30: 160.0

    Total weight lost: 46.8
    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!

    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.

    @Jimb376mfp - Yay to us! :smiley: I've noticed your accomplishments through this Challenge and have admired your commitment to the process.

    This has indeed been a great Challenge to keep me on track throughout the year. Looking forward to the 2018 version. Thank you for setting up that thread.

    Week 52

    Starting weight: 226.4
    Goal weight: 175
    Last week weight: 194.0
    This week weight: 194.7
    This period gain: 0.7 :(
    Total weight lost: 31.7

    This years successes:
    31.7 pounds lost this year. I haven't been able to figure out the BBC code to make the text larger, but if I could this would be posted in huge letters! I slowed way down in August. Basically stopped since October, but I kept it mostly off! What a great year!

    Thanks to everyone in this thread who has stuck together thru the year. I'm looking forward to 2018!

    We both got to Onederland this year! We will make GW in 2018!

    I have NOT LOST 52# But I did lose 37# and 43# in the past two years. This Challenge has kept me FOCUSED!

    A Pound a Week adds up over time as we learn what to do A Week at a Time!

    @Jimb376mfp, 52 lbs were lost last year, I hope that it does not take me 52 weeks to lose the last 15-20 lbs before my final goal.
    I'm on board!
    Starting weight 194.4lbs
    Goal weight 175lbs
    Goal date June 30th.

    My plan:-
    Continue daily logging. Day streak is now 1963
    Go to the gym 3-5 days a week
    Cut down on snacking
    Eat 3-5 fruits/vege daily.
    Drink 6-8 glasses of water daily. No sodas, juices or alcohol.


    Good luck to everyone in 2018. Let this be your year!

    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.

    @12774

    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!
