This week's successes: Entered the second half of the 52/52 challenge. I will use this as a marker to start a new string of weight losses to keep pace with the 52 pounds in 52 weeks (1 pound per week) goal.
This week's challenges: .Oh boy, I have really sabotaged my 52 pounds in 52 weeks effort the past few weeks. I am afraid I’ve let myself get so far off the 52/52 curve that I will not be able to recover. However, I will continue to hang around with this forum for the motivation and inspiration you all give me.
11 lbs are a lot! Keep on going!1 -

Total weight lost: -61.2
Challenge weight loss: -3.2
This week's successes: I stayed in my calorie range since I restarted on 7/1/20. I had gained 25 pounds during COVID and every week I avoided weighing in because I knew that I was trying to dig myself out of a huge hole. I decided to restart. So far it seems to have helped me get back on track.
This week's failures: Well, I restarted mid-week and I had a lot of binge eating during the first part of the week.3 -

This week's successes: I did not quit the challenge.
This week's challenges: I did not track my food on vacation and the scale shows it! Refocusing this week.3 -

Total weight lost: 11 lbs
This week's successes: I have been exercising every day. Eating healthy.
This week's challenges: craving sweets and pizza. After my bloodwork the end of July I think I will treat myself to something that is off my list to eat like a piece of cake.3 -
Current Weight (28-day average):
188.4
Weekly change in 28-day average:
-1.0
Cumulative change (Month/Quarter/Year):
-1.0/-1.0/-8.7
This week's successes:- Accurate logging.
- Maintaining meeting my step goal, added 100 more steps/day = 6,100 goal (current goal streak at 183 days).
- Strength training 3x
- Diligence allowed me to be close to a net even for deficit despite a binge.
This week's challenges:- Mental health issues now compounded by sleep issues
- Binged on Sunday
- Feeling stuck in maintenance now.... again.
Really feeling like an Eeyore, but don't have the energy to fake it right now. Sorry to be a downer. I'm sure part of it is cyclical, so we'll see how things shake out.

I'm thankful I've figured out using IF as a tool, as I'm pretty sure that's the only reason I've continued to make such good progress.

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.2 -

I appreciate the sentiment that I believe is behind your post, but I do know the difference between deficit/maintenance/surplus. Unfortunately, today saw me landing in surplus territory, even when averages over a week... The average weight has been playing catch-up, so it seems a bit like I'm losing, though I'm not right now.
Hopefully it's a cycle thing and not a new med thing, because the new med is actually sort of helpful this time. Time will tell, in either case.1 -

This week's successes: I didn’t weight in last week because I lost control over the holiday weekend and gained so much but was able to buckle down and lose that weight plus a little extra. I need to quit self sabotaging myself but at least I got back on the wagon vs faking completely off.

Week 28. Slow going, but progress. Despite a relaxation of restrictions (and the subsequent surge in cases) our community gym and 2/3 of the pools remain closed. Taken to wearing T-shirts and shirts which had grown a bit snug over the years as they now fit better than my old ones. Given I've less than 20 pounds to go for the challenge (30 for my personal goal), I may have to make some wardrobe changes.
Starting weight: 233 lbs
Goal weight: 170 lbs
Current weight: 200.1 lbs
Total weight lost: 32.9 lbs, -3.4 pounds since last month
This month's successes: Able to ride at least four times per week. Switched to short 20+ mile rides, I can do daily, rather than the intense 40-45 mile rides, which require a day or two recovery. Staying ahead of the challenge line despite an eroding lead over the past couple of months.
This month's challenges: A Holiday and a few celebrations resulted in a few days of calorie excess (which add up quickly). Gyms are still closed, so weight training is still limited.3 -

Successes: Nice little loss this week. Feeling more energetic now that I'm eating normal foods and getting exercise in. Longest run this week was 8 miles. DH reminded me that I have a half marathon scheduled for Jan 2. So glad I have a goal ahead of me. Need to build up my distances.
