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

I have to start somewhere ... and getting back to posting and recognizing the food I'm eating as well as the lack of exercise will help put me back on track.

New and just started over again 2/11/19 at 225.8 and need to lose over 100lbs and prefer the challenges to keep me more motivated. I have started over for the 2nd time this year already. I started in January had some issues, and finally started again in February. So up for this challenge!

Total weight lost: 34.1 kgs / 75 lbs / 28.5 %

Challenges: For the last 1.5 weeks my weight has been bouncing up and down each day, gaining and losing the same 0.7kg / 1.5lbs, and of particular annoyance is that my BMI is moving back and forth between the "obese" category and the "overweight" category - I really want to stay below that line!

This week I've eaten way more chocolate than normal. It has been 70% dark chocolate (not as much sugar or carbs as other chocolate), and in one case tried a dark sugar-free chocolate (not as nice), and it's nothing like how much I used to eat when we bought chocolate - but it is kind of slipping in my habits.

Successes: Pretty good with my eating & IF, have gotten in a lot more walking this week, and some mindfulness.

I started this 52-week challenge late (week 29 of 2019). I’m posting today, (week 31 for 2019) week 3 for me, with total loss of 4.4 in those 3 weeks. I’m on pace to lose 23 lbs. in the last 23 weeks of this year.

As a late joining member to this group, I’m only 4 weeks into this challenge and I’ve lost 5 pounds. I’m on pace to lose 23 pounds in the last 23 months of this year. However, I should be banking up easy pounds in these early times of my challenge. I’m still lacking the dedication to keto to keep me in ketosis. I get lazy and give in too easy to old Non-keto ways that keep me teetering on the brink of ketosis. Next week my goal is to get into full on ketosis, then stay there the whole week.

Starting weight: 119.5 kg/263.5lbs ( 27 January 2019)
Goal weight: 65kgs /143lbs
169cm / 5'7, 40 years Total weight lost: 35.7 kgs / 78.7 lbs / 29.9 %

Successes: A great week, lost 1.7kg (3.7 lbs). Was pretty good with my eating & IF, have gotten in a lot more walking this week.

Challenges: Had an all-day workshop with catered lunch and drinks afterwards. I decided it was easier to fast for lunch than negotiate the standard high-carb choices (I eat low-carb, wholefoods), but I did have two glasses of wine at drinks after the workshop (first time I've had alcohol in 8 months!). I wasn't sure if this would affect my weight, but it didn't seem to do any damage.
