    SW 12/28/2017: 177.6 #
    Goal weight: 125 #
    Last week: 150.2 #
    Current weight (7/6):  151.4 #
    Total Lost: 26.6 #
    This week: +1.2 #

    Successes:
     -I switched to maintenance for our anniversary get-away weekend.
     -I'm pleased about stepping up my running. The weather did help with some days without heat advisories. Running feels easier.
     -I'm kinda taking a breather, but will get back to full force when my husband is on a work trip.
     
    Struggles:
      -I'm still a little impatient. I'm also in between sizes. My previous few sizes are ridiculously loose / long & the next one is not quite totally comfy.
     - I have been experiencing more pain - mostly back pain and some headaches.
    -Pain was constant for many years and chiropractic + regular massage + yoga truly brought it down.

    Current weight: 257.4
    Total weight lost: 27.2

    04/30/18 284.6 Starting weight. First day of new way of eating
    05/07/18 276.2 -8.4 Eating keto now. Adjusting to high fat diet instead of low fat is a challenge to meal planning.
    05/14/18 272.6 -3.6 Still trying to figure out this keto thing. The weight seems to just fall off but I don't understand it yet.
    05/21/18 267.4 -5.2 Starting to get the hang of eating keto and I am amazed by how I am feeling.
    05/28/18 272.0 +4.6 Both kids had birthdays, it was hard to make cakes without tasting some along the way.
    06/04/18 270.6 -1.4 Still learning what will kick me back out of ketosis. Making mistakes along the way.
    06/11/18 263.6 -7.0 Still feeling good. Keto is getting easier.
    06/18/18 265.6 +2.0 Ate within my macros but the weight loss has stalled. Not sure what is going on! At least I seem to be still losing inches.
    06/25/18 261.8 -3.8 Extended family in town for a funeral so I spent all week eating out and eating meals prepared by others. I managed to eat ok anyway, I think.
    07/02/18 258.0 -3.8 This was a good week. Stayed within my macros and ate well, but I'm concerned that I'm not eating enough calories.
    07/09/18 257.4 -0.6 4th of July made eating right more difficult

    3) Eating Healthy and Eating on Time.

    Week 24
    Weight : 165.5 lbs. (75kg.)
    This was my goal weight when I started my weight loss journey.

    This Week's Success :
    1) lost 2+ lbs.
    2) Focused on myself and my Future plans.

    Week's Challenges :
    1) Staying on track. Staying Focused.

    3) Gym 5times And 70 k steps in Week.
    4) Doing Productive work and finding time for Self. :heart:
    .
    .
    .
    Also it was the 52nd week :love: Since I took weight loss seriously and made changes and turn my life around. :blush:

    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'm a bit late to join but I would love to lose 50 lbs !!
    (Actually I am going to aim for 5 pounds a month as a minimum)

    Highest Starting weight: 258
    Challenge Starting Weight - 237.8 (15th January)
    End of Challenge Goal: 175 lbs

    Weigh-in day: 15th of each Month

    1/15 - 237.8
    2/15 - 227.8 ( -10.0 lbs)
    3/15 - 221.2 ( - 6.6 lbs)
    4/15 - Easter broke me - I had a month two months on maintenance and several false re-starts :neutral:
    5/15 - 216.2 ( -5.0 lbs)
    6/15 - 215.8 (-0.4 lbs)
    7/15 - 211.8 (-4.0 lbs)

    Total Challenge loss (6* months) : 26.0 lbs
    * (average of 4.5 - 6.5 lbs per month)
    Goals and monthly reflections:
    Goals:
    January - Biggest success this month:Re-starting my weight loss journey.
    February - Biggest success this month: A good start, loosing 10 lbs
    March - Biggest success this month: Determined to continue regardless of slower progress
    April - Easter broke me - I had a month on maintenance and several false re-starts) :neutral:
    May - I think I *may* be back on track. Let's see for June. Hoping for 6 lbs off by mid June.
    June - *pat on the back* I DID actually re-start after reaching 223 at the end of May/start of June.
    July - it's slower going this time, but I am exercising more and losing inches

    My personal challenges looking forward: sticking with it. Logging everyday. Working harder to stay within allowances. Being "okay" with the numbers on a standstill for a bit. Focus on the big picture. Cook at home is far more successful but I am a social eater :neutral:

    Next "mini-goal" - 210 lbs = fresh flowers for the dining table.

    My current plan --> 20 lb increments to 175 then re-adjust goals to suit
    1. 215 - time to change out the wardrobe a bit ✅
    2. 195 - "overweight" (and wardrobe change)
    3. 175 - wardrobe change!
    4. 160 - > 150 -> 140 --> (GW)

    Also it was the 52nd week :love: Since I took weight loss seriously and made changes and turn my life around. :blush:

    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.

    Can I start today?
    I homeschool four young children, two with special needs; my husband just got fired a month ago after we moved here — 1400 miles from home; and my weight is as high as it’s ever been in my adult life.

    I lost 100 pounds before I met my husband and kept it off for almost ten years. But after baby #3, we moved and the post pregnancy weight didn’t come off because of all the stress and caring for my children. Then I got pregnant again and got post partum depression. And here I am!

    I started consistently eating better and walking about two miles a day last week. After LOTS of research (and confusion — fitness and weight loss are not what they were when I did this 15 years ago!) I came back to the Ol’ Tried and True — Calories And Moderate Exercise.

    Age: 41
    Starting Weight: 226
    Goal Weight: 160
    Goal Date: October 2019? 😱😭 Sooner, I hope!!!
    Weigh in: Weekly
    First Walking Goal: 10 miles a week
    First Resistance Goal: 3x a week

    Nice to meet y’all!

    04/30/18 284.6 Starting weight. First day of new way of eating
    05/07/18 276.2 -8.4 Eating keto now. Adjusting to high fat diet instead of low fat is a challenge to meal planning.
    05/14/18 272.6 -3.6 Still trying to figure out this keto thing. The weight seems to just fall off but I don't understand it yet.
    05/21/18 267.4 -5.2 Starting to get the hang of eating keto and I am amazed by how I am feeling.
    05/28/18 272.0 +4.6 Both kids had birthdays, it was hard to make cakes without tasting some along the way.
    06/04/18 270.6 -1.4 Still learning what will kick me back out of ketosis. Making mistakes along the way.

    06/18/18 265.6 +2.0 Ate within my macros but the weight loss has stalled. Not sure what is going on! At least I seem to be still losing inches.
    06/25/18 261.8 -3.8 Extended family in town for a funeral so I spent all week eating out and eating meals prepared by others. I managed to eat ok anyway, I think.
    07/02/18 258.0 -3.8 This was a good week. Stayed within my macros and ate well, but I'm concerned that I'm not eating enough calories.
    07/09/18 257.4 -0.6 4th of July made eating right more difficult
    07/16/18 256.6 -0.8 I think I've been eating too many calories. Time to recalculate my macros.

    All welcome to get healthier anytime. I have moved on from this Challenge to Maintenance Challenge board. The 52/52 Challenge helped me focus to lose 37/43 after two years. Made Goal Weight May 2018. I check in to see others seeing progress, A Pound a week is harder than I thought BUT 52 weeks add up.
