Current weight: 179
Total weight lost: 8 lb
This week's successes: I kept to my fitness goals.
This week's challenges: Went on a day trip to London to see King Tut Exhibition - ate complete rubbish all day. Must try to take own food if I do stuff like that. I mean, I ate a cheese and onion roll, crisps, chocolate cookie, I only have myself to blame for the scales not moving the right way.
Good luck for the week ahead all3 -
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...

This week's successes: sticking to my habits! (Track, exercise, journal-plan). So far yielding results so am happy
This week's challenges: this past week it was getting food poisoning...helped drop some weight, but the challenge was to get back on track with good eating and exercise when I could eat again. Very proud of myself that I didn’t start binging on rice and soft bread “because my stomach hurts”.
This coming week it will be in finding low density, low calorie, nutrient rich food...that I find palatable...while on a 12 day international business trip. I’m packing some protein bars and oatmeal, but any other tips welcome.3 -

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!

This week's successes: Last weekend was good. Stayed on track. Didn't have to lose the weight gained on the weekend during the week so was able to see a low weight I haven't seen in awhile.
This week's challenges: TODAY - Chocolate Tour - My company is taking part and we are handing out homemade chocolate chip cookies. So I get to be around that all day. Rest of the week to be determined.

This week's successes: I’ve been saying no to cakes and biscuits at work. Also avoiding the high carb foods that my fiancé has been eating in favour of low carb/keto meals.
This week's challenges: I put on 400g which really sucks... It could partially be because of the weight training but I think it’s mostly water weight.3 -

I weighed in yesterday, but did not get an opportunity to post until today.
Starting weight: 244 lbs (12/29/19)
Goal weight: 192
Current weight: 236
Total weight lost: 8 lbs.
This week's successes: Keeping breakfast and lunch very low calorie. Exercised everyday. Used my substitute adult coloring instead of snacking, in the evenings.
This week's challenges: I did not lose anything last week but I am still ahead of the challenge of one pound per week weight loss. Too many stops at fast food joints due to too much stress this week (pet cat to emergency vet on Tues.; lots of little projects getting ready for my daughter-in-law's baby shower next month and my trip to TX next week; my birthday and sadness due to some circumstances beyond my control; snow needing shoveled, etc, etc).
This week's plan is shaping up to be busy, as well, but I am committed to staying on track.3 -
I’m in! A bit late ..2

Hi everyone,
I'm Emily. I have 3 daughters (7,4, 8m). I have really let myself go, I'm worried I'm not modeling a healthy lifestyle for my children so that is my main motivation for joining this challenge. I'd love to make some virtual friends to keep me accountable.

This week's challenges: Being so hungry. I've decided to not be so restrictive in my food options (instead of whole foods, plant based only, I'm adding in a little dairy) I'm hoping by adding it intentionally in my day that I will stop bingeing at night when I'm so hungry and tired that my will power goes out the window.5 -
