@Jimb376mfp,thanks fo dropping in. Congrats on adhering to your maintenance goals. I am still struggling but I am not giving up2

By my count, this is week 10 of the 52 weeks of 2020. Of course, that means I should be at 10 pounds lost at this point to be on pace for 52 in 52. I’m only at 5.2 pounds lost this morning. My goal is to get back to 52 pounds in 52 weeks pace by the end of March.
The good news is I lost 2.2pounds this week and I’m chipping away at the 7 pounds gained on my 2-week vacation. The end of March will be week 13 for us. That means I need to lose 7.8 pounds in the next 3 weeks to get back on pace, I can do this!

Everyone struggles! The 52/52 challenge helped me focus on how hard it is to lose a pound but how EASY it is to gain, Maintenance is hard too because the pounds are just waiting to come back once you quit doing the right things.
Stay strong!2 -

Every pound gone is a plus, don't get discouraged if the progress is slow.

Weight lost YTD: -4.2
This week's successes: Focused and determined
This week's challenges : eat healthy, increase weight training
Goal is to be down 6lbs April 13 -
Ten weeks into the challenge. The group, which peaked at over 125 members looks to have dropped down to less than 20 (based on the last three weeks' updates), giving more emphasis to the timely advice of @Jimb376mfp of "Just Don't Quit." His accomplishment is but one of many group of members who have stayed the course and come out on the other side of a very long, and sometimes tedious, effort to finally make a positive permanent change in their lives. Thanks Jim and to all of you who have stuck it out. Your accomplishments and occasional setbacks keep me going when I stumble.
Starting weight: 233 lbs (106 kg)
Goal weight: 170 lbs (77 kg)
Current weight: 209.6 lbs (97 kg)
Total weight lost: 23.4 lbs (10.7 kg) - 2.4 pounds this week
This week's successes: Logged food and stayed within my calorie targets most every day. Drank plenty of water as usual. Two bike rides, one over 30-miles.
This week's challenges: Getting enough calorie/macro nutrients to support activity. Strength training inconsistent due to flagging energy levels. Animal crackers (not a bad snack, but you just can't eat a whole zoo without paying for it).
Don't quit! See you next week.4 -
Starting weight: 203 lbs

Sometimes when people disappear for multiple weeks, it's not because they've given up.
I had a family emergency suddenly on 2/18 that made weighing regularly and training impossible, and tracking intake was a guessing game at best. I had to set aside deficit aims to be able to deal with everything going on. I suppose I could've checked in here, but without reliable data, there's not much to say for accountability reporting.
On a positive note, I have managed to slightly increase my muscle mass while decreasing fat and non-muscle lean mass. On the right track overall. Now just need to get back on the deficit train, but taking a diet break until next Wednesday.

Goal: 21.5% body fat
(currently estimated at 140-145)

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.

Here we are at week 11 of our 52-week challenge. I had a 1.4-pound loss this week bringing my total loss for 2020 to 6.6 pounds. I’m still 4.4-pounds from the 11 -pounds I should have lost by now. With two more weeks left in March, I need to drop 7.4-pounds to keep up with our challenge.
That is an aggressive goal, but I’m going for it. Hopefully, this Corona panic won’t interrupt my exercise group, bowling or softball practice. All of those things are helping me address the 7-pounds gained during my two-week vacation. Anyway, no excuses! This is why this forum is called a “CHALLENGE”. If it was easy anyone could do it
This week's success: A loss
This week's challenge: Corona Panic

Goal weight: 192
Current weight: 236
Total weight lost: 8 lbs.
This week's successes: Keeping breakfast low calorie. Exercised 4 days. I am getting back into my exercise routine. Although I have not lost any additional pounds, I have not gained any.
This week's challenges: I weighed in, but did not log last week. I am behind of our mutual goal by 2 pounds. I have been depressed and overwhelmed by life situations. I have lost may way on my food plan (too much fast food) and I desperately need to regain a workable program.
This week's plan is to maintain an exercise routine and rebuild a food plan: low calorie breakfasts and lunches, exercise everyday.1 -

Calling today my "Wednesday" as I'll be heading back out of town to support family as the family emergency (a medical/life-threatening issue) continues, with hospitalization reaching a month and still in the CICU at an out-of-state facility. It will likely be a simpler stay of a few days, but need to keep things flexible.
I have a feeling that March is going to end up being a gain. My psych ordered a trial of a different med, and the trial has not been a success, and I'm thinking may actually be causing more issues. A different med trial has been ordered and I will start it tomorrow, so hopefully things will get ironed out over the next few weeks.

Week 11 done! I hope everyone is healthy and active. March has brought with it a host of obstacles to staying on track with diet and exercise.

Stay healthy. See you next week.3 -

2/17 Goal: 244 / Actual: 234.8 / -47.2 Over All / -25.2 for the Challenge. Fun Week but a tough one on the diet. 2 Days in the Bahamas… Stone Crab Claws & Mustard Sauce & Conch Salad! And 2 days out of town with family. Worked hard this weekend to get back under last week’s weight and actually lost a few pounds. Managed to get in 4 workouts & 1 PT session. 230 in my sights!
2/24 Goal: 242 / Actual: 237.8 / -44.2 Over All / -22.2 for the Challenge. I think my body finally caught up with what is going on and put the brakes on the weight loss. Gave back a few pounds this week. That’s okay, Hopefully it is muscle and I am still under my Weekly Goal. Eating Healthy and Working Out but I Need to fine tune my calorie intake and get back to logging in food daily.
3/02 Goal: 240 / Actual: 237.6 / -44.4 Over All / -22.4 for the Challenge. Hope everyone had a great week! I’ve been eating healthy and exercising but still stuck at 237-238. Going to have to really watch my daily calorie intake and cut back on portions some. Still under weekly goal weight so that is a positive.
3/09 Goal: 238 / Actual: 236.8 / -45.2 Over All / -23.2 for the Challenge. Hello All. Hope you had a good week. It has been a battle for me. My body is not making it easy for me. Finally got my neck feeling better and now I’m having issues with my middle and lower back. Workouts haven’t had the intensity I would like. Still managed to lose a pound and stayed under weekly goal weight.
3/16 Goal: 236 / Actual: 235.2 / -46.8 Over All / -24.8 for the Challenge / -1.6 this week. Had a good start to the week but was out of town Thursday, Friday and Saturday and ate out a lot and missed a few workouts. Got back on track Saturday night and Sunday to get back under my weekly goal.
3/23 Goal: 234 / Actual: 237.4 / -44.6 Over All / -22.6 for the Challenge / +2.2 this week. Good news / Bad News… Good news: I was able to play 2 rounds of golf and my neck and back are doing well. Bad news: (other than the world shutting down for Corona Virus) I was out of town for a couple days and ate out and take out and I gained a couple pounds back and I am above my weekly goal weight for the first time since I started November 1st. Doesn’t help that my gyms (even the community gym at my complex) are closed. Really need to bear down and stick to healthy eating and get my exercise in this week and get back on track with weekly weight goal! No Excuses!

The last couple of weeks have been stressful and totally out of my control. I received that dreaded call...come home, your Mother is dying. I made it back with just a couple of hours to be with her. Everything moved too fast and too slow at the same time. In that time the entire world has changed around me.
Now to get back to some resemblance of our "new" normal. So glad I have amino home gym.
Stay safe everyone. This too shall pass.

Week 12. Back on track, even though I'm not working out or eating as well as I'd like. Despite last week's anomaly, I'm maintaining more than losing as I fight to remain active in ways other than visiting the gym and taking long rides as the shutdown establishes a new normal.
Starting weight: 233 lbs
Goal weight: 170 lbs
Current weight: 209.4 lbs
Total weight lost: 23.6 lbs, -2.3 pounds this week
This week's successes: Logged food and stayed within my calorie targets most every day. Drank plenty of water as usual. Cleaned the house, tended to the yard, and finished a bunch of other overdue projects.
This week's challenges: CoViD-19 restrictions still in place pushing more people outside to the walking/riding trails making riding a bit more challenging and easier to rationalize sitting in front of the TV or on the laptop for hours on end. The kids being home means more processed food and snacks have wiggled their way into my diet.
Be safe. Stay healthy. See you next week.2 -
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!
