This week's successes: None, I’ve lost nothing, I can’t explain it so I’ll keep going and see what next week brings.
This week's challenges: I increased my level of exercise, I’m walking 5km a day, in addition to powerlifting 3 days a week.

Update as of 2/5:

Starting weight January 1, 2021: 211
Goal weight:150
Current weight: 206.6
Total weight lost: 4.4

This week's successes:
I am still losing weight, and my kitty is taking well to his diet. He lost .2 pounds this last week too. Also I got to eat inside a restaurant for the first time in almost a year to celebrate my little brother's birthday!

This week's challenges:
I have been super tired and hungry this week, so snacking has been a bit out of control. Also there was a lot of ordering in because I was too tired to cook. Hopefully that will calm down.

I am starting this at 185 pounds so my goal weight for this challenge is 135 pounds. I will post weekly my current weight and my weekly goal rate to keep myself on track and motivated.

SW00: 185.0
WK01: 182.1 (184)
WK02: 183.0 (183)
WK03: 181.9 (182)
WK04: 183.0 (181)
WK05: 181.9 (180)
WK06: 180.8 (179)

Last Week's Successes: While a pound behind my goal still, I lost a pound! I also started to wake up earlier as I had planned.

Last Week's Challenges: Again, I did not get all my walks and PT exercises as I had planned. Still putting others before myself and it's been super cold and icy - both of these were my excuses this week.

Last Week's Plan: I will wake up earlier to start having some more "me" time so I will not feel the pressure to take care of everyone else's needs instead of my own.

This Week's Plan: Create a schedule to include my children into my exercising, so I take care of them and me at the same time. Pre-plan my meals for the week.

I am 51 year old 6'0" with a Thyroid issue, that I am on Meds for, and tore my Achilles in May. My weight constantly yoyo's and the up is more than the down. Heaviest I have ever been.

I have been unable to do any cardio and the weight has continued to creep up. I also have a torn Meniscus but can still get around.

Starting weight: 287.2 ( January 1, 2021)
Goal weight: 195

Current weight: 272.0 (-15.2)
Total weight lost: 10.4 lbs

01/15: 279.2 (-8)
01/22: 274.2 (-5)
01/29: 273.0 (-1.2)
02/6: 276.8 (+3.8)
2/12: 272.0 (-4.8)

This weeks successes: was able to lift two days this week. Felt it in my right knee, so will likely not add any more than 2 days a week until the meniscus is repaired.

This weeks challenges: Not getting enough protein. It is hard to get enough protein, even when adding a Meal Replacement shake and scoop of protein to my diet. I eat a lot of chicken and eggs. May need to increase the amount of fish I eat. 2 days this week: Salmon and shrimp.

Starting weight (July 2020): 343.7 lbs
Goal weight: 200 lbs
Current weight (January 1st): 322.7 lbs
Total weight lost: 4.6 lbs (318.1 lbs)
This week's successes: Keeping with my fasting schedule

47 yr old female

Starting weight: 122.2 kg
Goal weight: 85kg

This week's successes: lost half a kilo!
This week's challenges: Inflamed my chest muscles due to belly dancing so no dancing for me for until it heals.
My stomach and my acid reflux are really giving me problems. So I have solved this by eating much less and eating blander food. It has helped a lot. Taking meds for chest pain. Still.. very happy with continuing loss.

Past week's successes: Stuck with my Feb challenge … no sugar free dark chocolate candies! But then I ate king cake & macaroons, fried chicken, fast food hamburger & fries 2x, etc etc etc … The point is I ate a lot and it shows on the scale. Also less exercise so the outcome was predictable.
This week's challenges: Need to get back into an exercise routing of walking, biking and planks even though we have snow on the ground (unusual in the south) and clean up my act on the food front. DON’T eat out of boredom

Challenges: Well a pretty big one this week I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I’m really angry that I’m finally taking care of myself and my body and my reward is cancer! Of course I know that’s not true but I’m furious. Not sure yet what the treatment plan will be but scared and worried about how it will derail my progress to get healthy.

Success: i am still hiking 5 miles a day so I guess cancer is holding me back yet:)

start brewing your own essiac tea, and drink it daily. (you can buy the herbs in a powder form, I don't agree with the pre ready made tea in tea bags)
I drink it ever since I was diagnosed with "pre cancer" I buy it off ebay, as its the same formula as rene caisse used.
