@hopiemama33 one thing people here have told me that has been super helpful is that this whole thing isn't a straight line. We will have ups and downs...a lot of them. What's really important is that you don't give up on yourself, but don't be too hard on yourself either. When you fall off the wagon, just dust yourself off and hop back on! Every day is a chance to make another step forward. You got this!7

Week #4
Starting weight: 01-16-2018 = 237.5
Goal weight:165.0
Current weight:233.4
Total weight lost: 4.1 lbs
This week's successes: Managed to stay on top of excessive snacking and portions. Feels great to see the numbers on the scale moving slowly down. I really like the theme of this challenge in taking it week by week; pound by pound. It's been 12 years since I climbed into the 2's and it sure would feel great to be back in onederland.
This week's challenges: Down with the flu last couple of days, but on the upswing.
01-16-2018=237.5
01-23-2018=234.8
01-31-2018=233.4
Looking forward to getting back in the workout routine by the weekend. Spring is coming and there's hiking and biking to be done!

Good job everyone!
weight: 160 lb
Goal weight for this challenge: 140 lb
Current weight: 159 lb
Total weight lost: 1 lb
This week's successes: logged in calories all week and stayed within the recommended amount . I also tried to work in exercises while at school, like going for long walks and taking the stairs.
This week's challenges: I haven't set aside any time for an actual workout. I also had KFC once this week when my family went out. Finding it harder to say no to junk food in a social setting, the peer pressure is real!
I think I need to invest in a new weighing scale, the graduations on mine are too large to approximate an accurate number.
Happy to be in such a lovely community!

Doing 52 weeks to help me think long-term & stick with it even if success is not a straight line.
This week's successes: I now have a plan and a method for sticking with it.
This week's challenges: I dialed in my calorie intake. I started at 1200 per MFP. Then adjusted to 1350 but lost a bit too quickly and was hungry. I tried 1500 but Scale numbers hovered without change. I’m going to try 1350 with calories added back in for exercise. See if I can hit macro targets & keep doing what I’m doing.

That’s quite a busy week!
Just wanted to pop in to say congrats on such an amazing journey and thanks for rooting for every one on the challenge!
And congrats on all the goodies to celebrate this week. 49 Years of marriage, truly something I dream to celebrate one day!

@vivalavida82 Thanks, my Mother’s name was Vida. When I see your User Name I wonder how she got her name. Her parents were German/Irish and she was born in Illinois 1917.
@12774 FYI use the @ to get notice sent to User Name.
Thanks
There may be a light but I have learned there is no Finish Line when you get to GW, you just keep doing what got you there. I am determined to not gain back like I did every other time in my life.2 -
This is such a great post. One pound a week seems so much less stressful than trying to lose rapidly. Thank you for the reminder that one pound a week will still equal 52 pounds in fifty-two weeks. Sometimes I forget that slow progress is real progress.4

I've been following this group. I lost 2.2 for January, was upset with myself by not losing more, but I'm the one that pokes the food in my mouth. It is hard to control my bad habits. Working on getting back on track.2 -

This week's successes: Got my eating back on track, after a busy weekend of going out, followed by the next week of using up some bad choices from grocery shopping
This week's challenges: the cold weather and my LO's unpredictable naps are making it difficult to want to work out2 -
Yes it's cold here also. Was thinking of going out to walk at Arena until I looked at thermometer. -32 no good day to stay at home. But thinking won't take the lbs off. And there's no way to undo the harm done in the last three days. For tomorrow my weight in day. No nobody twisted my arm to make me eat that chocolate I did it to myself.3

10k - maybe February, if I can find one.
Half Marathon in April
Marathon in May
Last week: 172.4#
