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: Feeling a bit sore but sticking to the plan, increasing my daily activity (counting steps), keeping water intake up, continuing to log food choices. Not getting frustrated with scale as I am trying to build muscle, car concentrate more on measurements and how I feel.

This week’s successes: continued to track all, stayed the course, drank a gallon of water a day, exercised 5 days. I have logged in to MFP 1,155 days as of today! This is evidence of consistency and perseverance. I will focus on this rather than the 1 pound-for-no-real-reason-gain!

Starting weight: 79kgs
Goal: 65kgs
Last weeks weight: 77.3kgs
This week: 77.1kgs
This week: Loss .2kg
Total loss for February: 1.4kg
YTD loss: 1.9kgs
This weeks challenge: Facing confusion once again. I dropped a lot last week because I changed to low carb but I have stalled again. I doubt myself. Do I stay low carb? should I do low calorie? is keto the answer? I have come to the conclusion that I should stick to one style of eating for at least a month and trust the process.
This weeks success: I have been quite determined and somewhat obsessed. Cycling for 40kms twice a week, putting in 2 weights sessions at the gym and walking the dogs on other days. No junk, no heavy carbs but for a little before the bike ride.
I will power on for the month of February. In all honesty if I lose 1kg every month, I will get close to my goal weight by December. When one is down to losing the fat that has been on the body for 15 years, it does take a lot to move it.4 -

Total 2017 Weight Lost: 46
Goal Weight: 135
Starting Weight (1/1/18): 264
Current Weight: 257.9
Challenge 2018 Weight Lost: 6.1
This week's successes: Lunch has been going really well - I find myself not snacking as much, and I've been sleeping better, which results in more energy to do more (limited) activity.
This week's challenges: Dinner has not been going as well, mostly because I burned the roof of my mouth a few days ago so I can't have anything too hard, hot or chewy. That, coupled with the fact that I can still only do light exercises makes this process much harder than it should be, but I'm just going one day at a time. At least I'm still in a calorie deficit everyday, even if it's not as much deficit as I'm aiming for.1/6/18: 263.8

I started over yesterday. So one day done a life time to go. I have to do this for health reasons. I don't expect i'll turn heads at this age. But I certainly could work at getting healthier.
See you all lighter
