Hi, I'm David. Brand new to MFP. Last time I was at my goal weight was about 20 years ago. Since then a very sedentary job and lifestyle have taken their toll. Now retired and I want to get more active and lose up to 80 lbs. Goal for now is just 50, though, in about a year.

I didn't make "new year's resolutions," as it were, but I am pretty sure I can get halfway to GW this year, which is about 50-52 lbs. I weigh in on Fridays.

Starting weight: 252.8 lbs as of 11/13/2020
Goal weight: 160 lbs, then reevaluate
Current weight: 247.4 lbs as of 1/1/2021
Total weight lost: 5.4 lbs (cheating a little bit, since I started six weeks before the end of last year ;P)

This week's successes:
* The enchiladas I've prepped for dinner the next two nights clocked in a lot lighter than I was expecting them to be.
* I've been able to pre-log my entire day for 3 out of 5 weeknights.
* I restarted a six-week exercise program that I completed last year on Christmas, and it's significantly easier this time around.

This week's challenges:
* Weekends are always a challenge, food-wise, as I don't usually prep anything for those days.
* I'm still struggling with some of the moves in my exercise program, though not as much or as many as I did the first go-round, at least.
* My husband is dealing with a health issue (not COVID). This isn't specifically related to my weight-loss journey, but it's a source of stress.

Week 1. A good start
I finished off last year with a bit of a bang, so I was holding on to a bit of water weight (sandbagging for this year’s challenge). Returning to my normal diet has allowed me to shed that and return to my lowest measured weight of 2020 (the morning after a long bike ride). Started last year by jumping out in front of the curve. Working to do the same this year; beating that pesky 185 is within reach…again.

Starting weight 1/1/2021: 192 lbs
Goal weight: 165 lbs
Current Weight: 185.1 lbs
This week’s Change: -6.9 lbs
Challenge weight lost: -6.9 lbs

This Week’s Successes:
Felling better with the weight off and back in the swing of things. Logging meals and started a 30-day fitness challenge to keep me active at least a little each day.

This Week’s Challenges:
Staying on task after letting myself loosen up a bit. Craving sweets and unhealthy carbs, though giving in on occasion has still been within my calorie limits for the day. Other than the 10-15 minute workouts, no major burns. With cycling out due to weather, I need to find the gym if this is going to work.
