2019 Lose 52 Pounds in 52 Weeks Challenge

Starting Challenge weight: 165.6 lbs (1/2/19)

Current weight: 129.7 (11/27/19)

Goal weight: 120 lbs (weight loss goal of 45.6 pounds from beginning, 9.7 lbs to go)

Total challenge weight lost: 35.9 lbs in 46 weeks

Starting weight: 119.5 kg/263.5lbs (27 January 2019)
Goal weight: 65kgs /143lbs
169cm / 5'7, 41 years Total weight lost: 48.6 kgs / 107.2 lbs / 40.7 %

Successes: On track with exercise, eating, sleep, and weight is still going in the right direction (albeit, slowly now, as I get closer to goal weight). This week's weigh-in has finally fallen on a day when my weight is back in the "healthy" BMI category. Here's hoping it doesn't bounce back up to "overweight"!

Challenges: Just feeling a bit more stressed as the Christmas period approaches, knowing what a challenge it is going to be. That's having an impact on how I feel. I just need to make sure I am extra good in the next three weeks to make up for a little bad over the holiday period. And I don't expect to "lose" weight this month when it all averages out... just trying my hardest to make sure I can maintain the loss and not go backwards.

Age 57 - Now 58
Starting weight 180.1 (all time high which = all time low lol)
Goal weight 140
Change to diet: Quit snacking on high sugar/calorie/carb snacks all day and evening long. Have cut sugar consumption to under 40 gms a day which in turn cut carbs as well.

Successes: Safely in the "healthy" weight category now! Am just keeping at it: eating well, fasting, exercising, sleeping well.

Challenges: Had some stress last week - my teen daughter has depression and anxiety and had a bit of a crash, didn't go to school for a week. While I mostly stayed on track with my health goals, I had two days in a row where the stress increased cravings and hunger, combined with PMT, and I cracked into the 70% dark chocolate and probably over ate a bit. Anyway, that's life. We can't be 100% perfect!

Successes: Have kept on track this week.

Challenges: Festive season. Stress and challenge of eating my way while staying with family, as well as handling difficult extended family dynamics. Also a crazy bushfire season here in Australia, so we're living with lots of smoke, often at "hazardous" levels, can't get away from it, and it has reduced how often I can go running and impacts how I feel.

This week's successes: I only went crazy with my eating for 1 meal
This week's challenges: CHRISTMAS!

I didn't hit my 52 pounds in 52 weeks goal so that is a bummer but I am choosing to be happy with the weight loss that I did have. I learned a lot and I spent 4 months off the rails with my eating. I am most happy that I managed to get back on track. This challenge really helped with that. I didn't want this challenge to be another thing that I started and didn't finish so knowing that I was committed to posting really helped me regain control. Here's to beginning a new year and a new challenge!

Please count me in, I'd like to join. I've done MFP with success before and need to start up again. While my plan is to lose less than 52 pounds, I like the year long commitment so that I can focus on maintaining once I get to a realistic goal.

I started on the Jan 20/19 so still have 3 more weeks to reach my 52 weeks and hopefully another couple gone by then. Thank you to tammierlewis for creating the challenge and although I never had 52 pounds to loose (my goal is 40- 45) I still have a ways to go so will continue in the new group for 2020 and look forward to seeing everyone's success.
