    Started the year at 185.
    Starting February at 172.

    Been stuck there all week but not worried. I know it’s because my schedule has been hectic and I’ve not always made best food choices and didn’t exercise a few times when I normally would’ve. But I didn’t gain!

    Goal for February, get under 170. And not get back up into the 170s or 180s.

    Started the challenge late as I was on holiday for the start.
    This weeks challenges have been ignoring the chocolate and biscuits in the house. Plus cold weather has kept me in the house.
    Success this week is that I have still managed to lose some weight .
    Next week I plan to get back to planning my meals more

    A pound a week sounds reasonable ... especially for those of us over 50! Reporting in on Mondays since I consider that my official WI and the start of my week.

    Goal weight:150
    Goal weight for 2019: 215.8

    Total weight lost: 6.6
    Total weight lost for 2019: 2.6

    This week's successes: I knocked 4 minutes off my 5k on Sunday. The weather cooperated, but I also feel that the speed training I've been doing is paying off.

    This week's challenges: Getting my strength training in and eating better.

    Note: I weighed myself on Sunday morning just to see and I was at 258.0. Today, I weighed 261.2. I'm guessing that's a lot of water weight from all of the salty food I ate during the Superbowl because I logged everything I ate and I definitely did not eat enough to account for a huge weight gain in a day. I'll stay off the scale until next Monday and see where it goes. My goal is to pay close attention to my nutrition this week and to drink lots of water.
