    @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. ;)

    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. o:)

    Walking 4 miles a day is really having a positive impact on my mental wellness. I feel more positive,
    more happy, and feel like I can achieve anything.

    Congratulations! Positive vibes help. Another one down.

    Great job everyone!

    3/9: 267.6
    3/16: 266.6
    3/23: 267.6

    This week's successes: I slipped up as I was trying to getting back on track with my diet after a planned cheat meal. But I kept on logging my food with myfitnesspal and for the first time, I felt like I could see patterns in my overeating. For me, there are certain foods - like pizza, cookies, pancakes and red meat - that I have a really hard time not binging on. I find it much, much easier to not eat them then to try and control my portions.
    This week's challenges: I have some parties coming up this weekend and will need to exercise a lot of willpower.

    1/13--221.3
    1/20--220.2
    1/27--220.9

    Tough week last week. I moved and between the stress of the move I was out of the loop with my regular routine. It's funny to realize how much one's routine has an affect on one's weight loss.

    Previous week's successes: Staying mondful of what I ate.
    Previous week's challenges: Messed up routine and lack of water.

    Nine days of traveling from Washington State through 8 large states to Mississippi.
    I tried to use as many hotel fitness rooms as possible. Carried luggage up and down stairs daily.
    On the other hand, ate out tons. I did pretty well getting a salad meal each day for at least 5 of the days.
    Can't wait to have a kitchen again! I'm going to probably start weighing next Friday after we find a place to live and move in.

    Total 2018 loss: -.4/52


    This week’s successes: Same as last week...counting points/calories/exercise and water. I am now back to where I started 11weeks ago! This is beyond comprehension, and I refuse to let this number define me. However, despite what the scale says, I bought and am comfortably wearing a size 12 jeans! Weight/strength training is no joke! My body composition has definitely changed.

    Next week’s challenges: none....will continue to work it while wearing my new jeans! ;)
