    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. <3

    @Elle_Marie_Fit
    Yes the small losses add up over time. I used the 52/52 Challenge in 2016 and 2017 but never got to -52 (I lost 37 & 43). NOW I’m only four pounds away from my GW.
    My first three years on WW (2013-2015)” I lost 60,32,16. The one thing I’m determined to never do is Quit eating healthy and exercise. I know what happens when I quit!

    One of the hardest things is staying with all the hard work when the Scale doesn’t move. BUT persistence and trying to figure out what works best pays off!
    Congratulations on the WHOOSHING Loss!

    Just back from a 10 day cruise. Had a wonderful time Lots of great food and adult beverages. Will weigh in tomorrow to see the damage. Lesson learned: wear the tight dress on day 1 or 2 because by day 8-10 it doesn't fit nearly as well.

    As I look over everyone's success over the past 2 weeks, I feel encouraged that the pounds I put on will come off again quickly. Great job everyone! I love reading your success for my inspiration.

    I completed the C25K before the vacation. Now to get back on track for my first 5k on 3/31!

    5k done !
    10k - maybe February, if I can find one.
    Half Marathon in April
    Marathon in May
    Last week: 172.4#
    Current weight: 169.4 #
    Total weight lost: 8.2 #

    This week's successes: I'm up to running 5-6 miles continuously without my back being in ridiculous pain. Yoga is helping with that. It feels great, but I'm also quite sore most of the time.

    This week's challenges: Just feeling tired, tense and a little sad to leave this area.

    Congratulations on the 5k and planning a 10k and a half marathon! You rock! I will do my first one in March. Already getting nervous about it.
