    Hi - Joining late but this looks like a great thread for accountability. I've lost 8kg overall in the past 12 months, but am seriously stuck. I know why (alcohol, carbs, "occasional" ice cream etc). I'm in Australia, where we use kg not pounds, which I'm going to stick with so I don't get too confused.

    Starting weight (kg): 84 (189lb).
    Current Weight: 84
    Goal Weight: 78

    W7 1/12: 84
    W8 1/19:
    W9 1/26:

    W10 2/2:
    W11 2/9:
    W12 2/16:
    W13 2/23:

    W14 3/1:
    W15 3/8:
    W16 3/15:
    W17 3/22:
    W18 3/29:

    Final!!!! 4/1:

I know what went wrong and need to work twice as hard this week. Still babysitting the grandies in the Canberra smoke - but dancing and exercising inside. The food was definitely the problem this week.

    Starting Weight on 4/1/2019: 280
    Current Challenge Weight: 195.6
    Goal Weight: 180 (this is my ultimate goal weight from when I started my WLJ last April. It will mark a 100 lb total weight loss. These last 15 lbs will most likely be the toughest for me, but I will give it my best shot! Good luck everyone!)

    W1 12/1: 195.6
    W2 12/8: 193 (upped my workouts this past week, but have been eating back all my calories...apparently not enough! I'll take it though :) We'll see if it holds by next week.)
    W3 12/15: 191.6 (Thought for sure I would gain some back this week but reduced my salt intake and not retaining as much water now.)
    W4 12/22: 192.6 (yesterday I was 190.8, but today is weigh-in for the challenge. I'm used to these wild swings. They've been happening since day one of my journey. No worries.... Merry Christmas everyone!)
    W5 12/29: 192.4

    W6 1/5: 189.6 (on the last day of 2019, I hit 189.8 and NORMAL WEIGHT BMI...I must have been retaining a ton of water from the holidays and even lost a little more since then, for today's weigh in. I haven't seen the 180's since 2001...Happy New Year everyone and welcome to all the new people!)
    W7 1/12: 188.4
    W8 1/19: 187.8 (Slow, steady, and healthy as I get closer to my ultimate goal of 180 lbs..my setting on MFP is to lose 1/2 lb per week now. I had a really good week, exercise wise. Pushed it when I didn't feel like it at the time.)

    A little late but I like the time frame and the amount. I'm incorporating strength training into my program so my focus is on fat loss (big difference b/w fat loss vs. weight loss). Although I plan to weigh myself daily, I rely more on weekly photos than the scale to determine my progress. Still, this seems like a good challenge to help keep me on track.

    Current Weight: 226
    Goal Weight: 205

    Daily activity, strength training 3-4x/week alternating with cardio on other days.

    Macros:
    • Protein 45-50%
    • Fats 25%
    • Carbs 20-25%
