    Jan 27 - 119.5 kgs /263.5 lbs - (Facing up to what I weigh: heaviest ever)
    Jan 28 - 118.1 kgs / 260.4 lbs - (Start of diet & exercise)

    Feb 11 - 114.4 kgs / 252.0 lbs - week 02 loss 1.2kg / 3.0 lbs
    Feb 18 - 113.6 kgs / 250.0 lbs - week 03 loss 0.8kg / 2.0 lbs

    *I measure accurately in kgs and then convert to lbs, and initially was rounding lbs to nearest full number, which means the conversion is not 100% accurate for some records.

    This week's successes: Stuck to diet.

    This week's challenges: Have lost the exercise habit that I had cultivated earlier (a few weeks of not feeling well), so having to restart that again.

    Next week's goal: Stick to diet, follow new strength training plan, try the Darebee Cardio Go program.

    Hope it is not too late to join this challenge, but trying to lose all the weight added over the last 12 years after having twins and heavy workload! Physical this year made me realize that I was over my highest pregnancy weight so trying to stay motivated to get the weight back off. Exercising now at the gym and logging food/calories with MFP has really helped getting started!

    Starting weight: 177 lbs (Feb 4, 2019)
    Goal weight: 110 lbs
    Current weight: 161 lbs; (March 31, 2019) 51 lbs to go
    Total weight lost: 16 lbs
    This week's successes: lost 2 lbs and feeling more energetic
    This week's challenges: work function @ lunch so hoping to stay within limits!

    Completed a 10k trail run Sat. One year anniversary of my very first 5k event! Not PB, but first in the 60-64 women's age group. (I might have been the only one). Feeling good about it anyway. Next 10k event is the end of May.

    April will be a busy month with a family cruise, 2 trips with DH, lunches planned with friends, theatre events, and doctor appointments. Need to keep good food choices in mind through out the month.

    This weeks challenges- (2 weeks) I injured my back and could not do much of anything. I was feeling discouraged as well as pain. I had this momentum of good habits and got derailed. Now starting to feel better, so hopefully I can get back at it. I had to realize that this healthy life is a journey!
    Goals are to keep going!

    I am checking in four days late because I just got back a vacation.

    This week's successes: I had a lot of fun on vacation! I still remembered to track as best as I could, but it was only a rough estimate. Oh, and I walked A LOT!

    This week's challenges: Wasn't very accurate on the data entries, didn't exercise other than the walking, and totally ignored IF. None of these were an expectation for me though.

    Next week's goal: Come back in full swing! I'm feeling rejuvinated and pumped again to work hard on my health goals. :smiley:

    I would like to join, but this would be my first Challenge. Can someone please enlighten me?

    I’ve lost over 60lbs. I have about 50 more I’d like to lose. Since I’m a bit late to the game (April...) I think this group may really fit/help me!

    Thanks!
