So I'm a little late in starting this, because I didn't come back to MFP until this past week. And I'm not sure if I can lose 52lbs... But I sincerely want to. So I am going to challenge myself to go forth with this and do my best!! Good luck everyone!

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 -

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

To me the CHALLENGE is to TRY to consistently lose a pound a week! I find that keeps me aware of what I need to do day to day, week to week.
I have not met the -52 mark the past two years BUT I did lose -37 and -43 and now I’m very close to my GW.
Welcome aboard!8 -
Thanks, Jim. Congrats on your success in this challenge! It's always inspiring to see others who have found success. I appreciate your view on the challenge. I think my goal will be to work on my consistency. It's what I've struggled with in the past. I've always been good at short term plans and motivation, but I've had a hard time keeping it up. I'm hoping that this challenge will help me keep that consistency in my mind.Jimb376mfp wrote: »To me the CHALLENGE is to TRY to consistently lose a pound a week!

Treat those 2 lbs like friends who over stay there welcome starve them.
Well i'm doing ok that's two good days with very good results and all I'm doing is move more eat less. It's working.

cabman......try an apple for a night snack, sounds dumb I know, but the munching and biting required takes quite a bit of effort...and its really rewarding somehow..! I'm rather addicted to them for that reason,,, plus they taste insane when they have been in the fridge.
Keep pushing yourself...you can do more than you realize.
ps...just to make you laugh,, I always take the apple sticker (that is normally on the apple skin) and put in on my nose....then eat my apple and look at my husband and say "what?" Lol just to make him have a big of a chuckle....3 -
