Exciting to see so many participants this year! I tried counting everyone but lost track after 50. We are all working towards that healthy goal.
No loss for me this week. I did get in 21 miles of running last week. Hope to do the same this week.
I will not be checking in again for 3 weeks. I have good intentions for eating and activity during our trip but realistically it will be too much food and drinks and not enough activity.

If you do this.... lose one pound a week next New Year’s Eve you will have accomplished a significant goal.
I have used this Challenge the past three years as a means to focus my WL effort on an achievable weekly goal. I lost 30 pounds in 2017 and although I did not meet my goal in 2018 or 2019, I found this challenge kept me accountable.
Join in if you're ready to do it this for the next 52 weeks, one pound at a time. Or an amount that is achievable for you.
Get In exercise, eat healthy, veggies, fruit & protein... Be aware of your portions and mindless eating when you’re not really hungry and just bored.
Share your successes and challenges. You are not alone in this journey. We are all working towards our goal.
Weigh in weekly... or daily... whatever works for you. Just copy the information below and paste it in your post.
Welcome to the 2019 Lose 52 Pounds in 52 Weeks Challenge.

New to MFP this year (yes, a New Years joiner) but a tired old hand at the diet cycle. Have been absorbing new lessons and mindsets and intend to break the cycle for good. Goal is not how much I lose, but how much I keep off forever! However, would still love to shed 52 this year and finish my 50th year much slimmer than I started...

I'm not sure I have 52 pounds of fat that I want/need to lose at this point, but I'm close enough that I'm going to call myself "in."
Starting weight: 197.1 pounds
(HSW: 252, MFP restart: 242.7)
5'1" F
Goal: 21.5% body fat
(currently estimated at 140-145)
Current weight: 197.1
Total challenge weight lost: 0.0
This week's successes: Getting back into deficit after a maintenance break.
This week's challenges: Extremely low motivation (for life-ing in general -- not out of the norm, as I battle physical and mental health issues on an ongoing basis).
A heads up: I will likely go faster than 1 pound/week for the first 4-ish months, then looking to tighten up and go into a slow loss followed by a recomp phase. I'll likely make 52 pounds of weight loss on the scale with some skin loss (hopefully), along with lean mass having to do with the support of the fat stores I have. I am aiming to maintain/increase muscle mass and bone density, so that may throw off the scale results. I do hope to reach my goal body fat percentage by the year's end, whatever scale weight that puts me at.6 -
