    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)
    WK07: 183.4 (178)
    WK08: 179.9 (177)

    Last Week's Successes: Finally getting myself back under the 180s.

    Last Week's Challenges: I am really struggling with body image.

    This Week's Plan: Hit EVERY meal under/at my calorie goal and carb goals so I can figure out if the MFP calculator calories for losing 1 pound a week is working. While I have been good, I haven't been consistent.

    Starting weight: 247.4 lbs (1/1/2021)
    Goal weight for 2021: 196
    Current weight: 239.8 lbs (2/26/2021)
    Total weight lost: 7.6 lbs

    This week's successes: Maintenance, I guess? I went over pretty much every day - no excuse, I just didn't do a good job at staying under budget. I did log everything honestly, though, so that's something.

    This week's challenges: I couldn't even tell you why I snacked so much this week. My breakfast and lunch both had decent protein and fiber, or so I thought. My husband and I have been getting up early - he started his clinical practicum this week and needs to be at his site by 7 AM, which means our household now wakes up at 6 AM. It's been nice for me, having all this time in the morning, but maybe just being awake longer has contributed to the snacking, I don't know.

    Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.
    A pound a week seems reasonable
    I need to quit losing the same pounds over and over. If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up.
    43 weeks till 2022 🎉

    Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last
    2019 Starting Weight: 245 (1/2/2019) BMI 43.4
    2020 Starting Weight: 235 (1/1/2020) BMI 41.6
    2021 Starting Weight: 212 (1/1/2021) BMI 37.6
    Goal for 2021: <200 BMI 35 (Dr set target before next physical)
    Stretch Goal for 2021: <170 (Overweight instead of obese)
    Current weight: 208.1 BMI 36.8 lowest this year 205.7
    2021 weight loss: 3.9 lost & regained 6 lbs this year ARGHHHHH Working to get back down
    Total weight lost: 36.9

    Past week's successes: Choosing critical habits to focus on to kickstart losing the weight I had regained was smart. Maybe I should focus on them all the time!
    • Sun - 80 oz water
    • Mon - net carbs < 50
    • Tues - Vitamins
    • Wed - Bike once per week
    • Thurs - 4th day AF (alcohol free … did I do it?)
    • Fri - 5th day journaling food < 1500 cal per day
    • Sat - Planks & hand weights
    The week’s challenge: Rain so will not walk as much as I like. Stress as my DD’s one year anniversary party details need to be finalized and I’m running behind on the planning execution piece. Don’t eat through the stress!
