    Lose 52 Pounds In 52 week’s Challenge:
    Progress: 52 - 39.7 = 12.3 lbs to go


    Doing a 75 lbs / 34 kg challenge.
    Progress: 75 - 39.7 = 35.3 lbs to go



    Original start weight: 396.8 lbs / 180 kg (januari 01 2000)
    Starting weight for this year: 270.1 lbs / 122 kg (januari 01 2018)
    First goal set at: 240.4 lbs / 109 kg (getting on the transplant list)
    REACHED at 04-16-2018
    Next goal set at: 220.4 lbs / 100 kg. (Target date = 07-31-2018).
    Ultimate goal, also Deadline: 195.0 lbs / 88 kg (Target date = 12-31-2018)

    The Background:
    Current "Live Style Change" (Not a DIEt): 1650 kcal a day.
    Currently three times a week at the Gym, program of 150 minutes Cardio/Strength (mixed exercises 11/13).
    Every fourth-night a 60 minute session with a Personal Trainer.
    Every workday a three mile walk.

    Motivator: losing weight for 2nd kidney transplant in 2019(-ish?).
    Being a kidney patient makes me fluctuate in weight very bad.
    I can loose or gain 3 pounds or more in 24 hours on fluids alone.


    Weigh in time: 0600 Hours.

    Tackling one day at a time and reminding myself that I cannot go back to weighing 240 is what kept me afloat this week! I really need to get to the next decade because I think that will be a huge factor in my motivation.

    April 15=158.8
    April 22 = 160.4
    April 29 = 161.6 Yikes! Complete wrong direction... I will say that I have been back to dieting since this weigh in... and think that I will show a loss next week.
    May 6 = 159 Yay, going back down! I did real well this week with staying under in calories except for one night. And, I didn't let that derail me, this time! That is huge for me! I got right back to it this time.
    May 14 = 158.8
    May = 160.4
    May 30 = 159.6
    June 5 = 159.8 Started back to the plan, June 4th. Today, I did my first fitness class in about a year. It felt so good, even though my face was beet red... I even felt good afterwards. I really want to keep it up this time.
    June 15 = 158

    I lost total of 55 lbs. In 52 Weeks :sunglasses:

    This wasn't easy. This didn't come to me naturally. I had to work hard. I struggled. In past I too made many mistakes. And This time I used those mistakes and experiences as tool to Succeed.
    After some time many of us lose that "drive" or "fire". It gets difficult to stay motivated , stay focused.
    So here, the Real secret is Determination and Passion. It's the Key !!! Without Focus, Motivation, And Determination we can't achieve anything.
    (I felt like sharing this. Hope you don't mind :innocent: )

    We Can Achieve What We Put Our Minds to.
    :star: Aim High My Friends. :star:

    Hi, all! Excited to do this challenge! I'm modifying my goal to a 20 lb weight loss for the rest of the year (28 more weeks).

    Starting weight: 146
    Goal weight: 125
    Current weight: 146
    Total weight lost: 0

    This week's successes:

    - Completed C25K week 2 day 3!
    - I'm also seeing my clothes are fitting better and my body's looking slimmer, though I don't see that reflected on the scale yet.
    - Haven't been mindlessly eating. I've kept up my food journal for exactly 2 weeks now.

    This week's challenges:

    - Not seeing the weight go down on the scale for two weeks is discouraging. But I won't let that deter me! I know eventually, with my diet and exercise changes, I WILL see the change. This happened to me before, and it might just be a matter of building muscle.

    Will check in again soon!
