    Congrats! Such an inspiration! I hope you’ll still hang out with us! It’s always delightful to see your messages.

    I’ve been bouncing around the same 3lbs for a month and am working hard to keep at it consistently, like Jim would do :wink:

    1/20--220.2
    1/27--220.9
    1/31--218.9 (early weigh in...going out of town for the next 3 days and won't have access to scale)

    3/16--219.3
    3/23--220.6
    3/30--220.6

    Realized this week that with my move and the change in my daily commute, the number of steps I get in a normal day has dropped. Need to start making a more conscious effort to get my steps in.

    Previous week's successes: Got back into tracking and exercising.
    Previous week's challenges: Lower daily steps and getting in water.

    Our furniture and things will be here on Monday (includes scale). So, next Friday I will resume weekly weigh in.. Pretty much didn't weigh in for most of March. I didn't realize moving 3400 miles would take so long.
    Once again my exercise will be very functional as I "deadlift" boxes and walk in and out repeatedly all day until we're fully moved in. I can't wait to complete this move!

    @TripMom
    No formal membership, all can join to lose and try to lose a pound a week. Check First Page to see format and post your results.
    39 weeks are remaining, many people will be very happy to lose 39 pounds!

    In 2016 I lost 37, but didn’t quit. Tried again 2017 and lost 47# :smile:

    Yesterday I reached my WW Goal Weight after trying five years! From 376 to 182 from age 65 to 70.

    At my age (70) I know to lose a pound a week is a realistic goal that helped me get there.

    Good luck.

    Challenge starting weight: 214lb
    Goal weight for end of 2018: 154lb
    Current weight: 200lb
    Total weight lost: 14lb
    This week's successes: Couple of excellent workouts, including a sub 30 minute 5km run last weekend! I've been trying to do that for 6 years, I know I pushed a bit too hard as I got shin splints for the next couple of days but man did that feel good.
    This week's challenges: The Easter weekend, Thursday was very indulgent as it is every year before the holiday kicks in.

    So close to onederland! It's been 3 and a half years since my weight was 100-something, was pretty shocked to see that :/
