I haven’t put my weight down here for a couple of weeks now. I am amazed at how much I’ve lost in centimetres but the scale remains the same. I am doing weights a couple of times a week, cycling a couple of times and walking every day. I have gone down a complete size since January but we not about 2kgs down. Still I’m thrilled5

I am 52 years old, five foot two inches and I work a sedentary job.
Still hanging in around the 183 mark. I did have one day last week where I hit 182, but I think I was probably dehydrated. I had a weekend where I drank alcohol (not a lot), ate fast food, and binged on sugar free candy. It was just one of those weeks. Hard stuff at work, and I had been sort of dating a man and decided that sort of wasn't enough so ended that. I brought some better food to work today and I am going to trivia at a place tonight where I think I can get some decent food. I have two work events with lunch this week, one will be a nicer buffet where I can probably get pretty good food. The other will be pizza where if I can make myself eat only the toppings and leave the crust I do okay.2 -

Current weight: 161.1
This week's loss: -0.4
Total weight lost: 12.4
This week's successes: Tracking. Exercising (yoga, snowboard and cycling!). I made some batch food ahead so I can have some easy to grab nutritious meals throughout the week.
This week's challenges: It's hard to control myself when I go out... I've also not been drinking enough water... I'm tired of loosing and gaining the same 3lbs for the past 3 weeks. Trying to do my best before I travel to southern France to visit my aunt for 5 days. Yikes! Keep it strong, keep it steady. It's hard to stay motivated when there's no loss.
Have a great day you bunches of losers!4 -

SPRING INTO ACTION!
We have been through Winter and ready to get for Spring! I hope you are ready to keep going with the Pound a Week Challenge! Keep going, we still have about 40 more weeks.
I worked the 52/52 Pound a Week Challenge in 2016 and 2017. I lost 37# and 43# and I’m very near my GW. It has been a struggle but I’m NOT QUITTING!
Congratulations and keep up the Challenge to all the work requires to Lose a Pound a Week!
(My Weight Loss Journey began 2013 at 376# and age 65. I joined WW and loss 108# after three years (60,32,16)
I still use WW but found the MFP 52/52 Challenge that kept me focused on how much effort it takes to lose One Pound
SW 376 (January 2013, age65)
CW 187 (Loss -189)
GW 184 (Over half my SW!)
Keep trying6 -

@Jimb376mfp Thank you for the Spring Inspiration! I always need motivation on the quest for better health. You have been an inspiration for me since starting this challenge in 2017. As I continue to struggle with these final 10 pounds, I smile when I see your posts on any of the topics.
My highest weight was 188 several years ago. Last year I found this challenge at 161 pounds, and everything clicked. I lost 31 pounds in 2017! My goal is 120 (My Air Force weight that I may never see again), but it is a goal. The pictures are me at my heaviest and me this year at 59 years old. I will be running my first 5k in 10 days.

@Jimb376mfp ...thanks for spearheading this challenge, giving the encouragement, and being an inspiration. I am not losing a pound a week....heck I’m not losing a pound a month...but I am not quitting either! I will continue to chip away at this because where I am is better than where I was...50+ pounds heavier.4

Starting weight: 79kgs
Goal: 65kgs
Last weight: 77.1kgs
This week: 75.8kgs
This week: Loss 1.3kg (actually for month of March)
Total loss for March: 1.3kg
YTD loss: 3.2kgs
This week's successes: I am sticking with low carb and finding it is working well. Continued centimeter loss and now I have a scale weight to boast as well.
This week's challenges: Low carb can be boring and I tend to stick to the same meals to make it easy. It does drain the energy for hard core exercise. I will be riding for 50kms this weekend so I think a few bananas before the ride will be necessary to get me through.
A little hint: My weight was not coming down and then I changed from red meat to salmon for evening meal. It worked a treat. I think I will be eating a lot of salmon for the next month.4 -
