Hi everyone!! This is my first time on MyFitness Pal but I’m on week 2! Hoping to get off the couch and stick to my calories. Looking for motivational friends, inspiration and help. I’ve been 140-150 but only with strict diet and jogging/cardio. I’m in potato mode and don’t like exercising right now. Need to change my mindset and schedule.5 -

High Weight/Stats:
252.0 pounds, 5'1" F
Challenge Starting Weight:
197.1
Goal:
21.5% body fat
(currently estimated around 140)
Current Weight:
190.7
Weekly change:
-1.8
Cumulative change (Month/Quarter/Year):
-6.4/-6.4/-6.4
This week's successes:- Stuck to my intake goals
- Strength training 2x

This week's challenges:- Increased pain/physical issues interfering with ability to work out and get a good night's rest.

This week's successes: Staying in deficit.
This week's challenges: Functioning. I'm dealing with a flare-up of both physical and mental health issues. Dealing with it by planning ahead and prepping what I can when I can.
Original post:
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.1 -
made it though July of last year's 52 week challenge and lost 25 lbs but because I wasn't accountable to anyone I regained all the weight back so I'm going to commit myself to finishing this!! Joined Orangetheory and have been going 3-4 times a week and am logging everything I eat into MFP

I would like to join this challenge. I have been at my goal weight a couple of times in the past and know how good it feels. As I get older (57), it is getting harder to do the things I need to do to lose and maintain the lower weight. I am looking forward to reaching my goal again this year. Let's do this!
