2020Lose 52 Pounds in 52 Weeks Challenge

“Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.” Robert Collier

A pound a week seemed reasonable in January until I checked out back in the spring and then gained even more. 15 lb loss in 2019; gained back 5 before 2020; gained back 6 more during pandemic spring 2020. I need to quit losing the same pounds over and over. Starting again in August to continue my journey! If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up.

I'll turn 60 this year and really want to get into Onederland and make it stick this decade!
2019 Starting Weight: 245 (1/2/2019) BMI 43.4
2020 Starting Weight: 235 (1/1/2020) BMI 41.6
Goal weight: <200 in 2020
Current weight: 229.3
Total weight lost: 16
This week's successes: Achieved my goal of walking 100 miles in August. Challenged myself to repeat that stretch goal for September.
This week's challenges: At our fishing camp 🎣 for 10 days with no scale. Every small habit still counts scale or no scale. This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

This week's successes: Was AF 7 out of 7 days, Ran 3 days this week & made a lot of progress on my pace, AF 16/8 (some days longer fasts)
This week's challenges: Still not sleeping, need to work on making healthier food choices to break my fast, & limit daily diet drink.

Bye bye 36 weeks. 16 weeks remaining in 2020! There is still time to make a dent in the number on the scale before kicking off 2021 new resolutions. Losing weight may be a slow, frustrating process, but quitting won’t speed it up.

We got this! Good luck everyone as we move through Sept-Dec!

Current Weight (28-day average):

This week's successes:

• Accurate logging.
• Maintaining meeting my step goal.
• Getting back into deficit.

This week's challenges:

• Fighting both hunger and appetite constantly.
• Fighting to move.

I think a combination of meal timing and the lower net carb WOE I've been trying to get back to are the keys to consistency this time, at least until I've gotten back in the habit for 3-4 weeks. One week is in the books. A bunch of water weight was lost last week, which was nice to see. Looking forward to getting some fat torched again.

Im joining really late in the game but there’s no time like the present right? I really could use the extra motivation and accountability and I don’t want to wait for a new year to start working on my health.
Starting weight: 230
Current weight: 191.3
Goal weight: 129- not by the end of this year but my eventual overall goal.
I’d like to lose around two pounds a week, not have any cheat days and exercise consistently.

This week's successes: Was AF 5 out of 7 days, only gained .5 lb at the beach & dropped it immediately once I returned home.
This week's challenges: Sleep is still an issue, not matter how tired, I am awake until 3 a.m. or so. Need to be better at adding in more workout days with things other than running.

Hi Everyone!

There is just over 15 weeks before the end of the year. Averaging a lb a week is what I would love to achieve!

09/15/20 162.7

Current Weight (28-day average):
190.6

Weekly change in 28-day average:
-2.0

Cumulative change (Month/Quarter/Year):
-4.0/+1.0/-6.5


This week's successes:

• Accurate logging.
• Step goal met (over 250 days now).
• Followed the program 6/7 days.

This week's challenges:

• Fighting both hunger and appetite constantly.
• Fighting to move.

I am now about 2.5 weeks into this WOE, and I think I can keep it going until I've reached 3-4 weeks before any breaks. The one day I was outside of "the program", it was for a funeral in the family, and I managed to stick to the WOE, but calories were higher than maintenance by about 600. The other days are going well enough that it was just a blip on the radar, though it was hard to return to eating less the next couple of days. I did, though, and that's what I've gotta focus on.

The coming week will present a new challenge in that I will be having corrective foot surgery on my left foot. I am not particularly looking forward to it, but the reduction of pain should make it worth it in the end. I plan to still try to get my steps while using a knee scooter or crutches, so there should still be some burn to hopefully keep my TDEE reasonably raised. I'm really hoping I can continue to lose 1.5-2.0 pounds in an average week while I'm recovering, with careful management of macros and micronutrients. We'll see how it goes. I realize I might need to take a week or two at maintenance calories here or there as it goes so that I can heal a bit better too, but based on my experience with my hands healing from carpal tunnel surgery, I think I'll be OK.

Gotta keep chipping away. "Vanilla obesity" (the lowest class of obesity before overweight BMI) is just around the corner.
