NOTE: Kicking off the challenge this year ... it has been around since who knows ... at least 2017, but didn't see it in the challenges for 2022.
I personally need the weekly visibility to my ups & downs throughout the year so that I don't disappear and give up.


GOOD LUCK!

    Hello, this looks interesting to me, I have been with MFP for 2yrs but never interacted with a group. How does this work so I can see when others post and such? Any info would be helpful. Thanks

    Hi! This is my second day.

    Total weight lost:0
    Last week's successes: Yesterday I strategized. Meal planned and exercised. My expectations are low but doable (15 min of stretching/calisthenics along with walking my dog). Today I shopped and prepped veggies. My back up plan is to have a protein shake if I get to the end of my work day and am too tired to make a meal. No takeout or bad food choices! I decided to follow this plan for the month of January and reassess on Feb 1. I can do anything for one month right??
    This week's challenges: I have also embraced an alcohol free January. First day of work tomorrow. Holy cow I am hopeful.

    Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.
    A pound a week seems reasonable. Why is it so hard?
    1 down 51 weeks till 2023 🎉
    Female, Age 61, 5’3”
    Weigh In Day is Monday!

    Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last
    2019 SW: 245 (1/2/2019) BMI 43.4
    2020 SW: 235 (1/1/2020) BMI 41.6
    2021 SW: 212 (1/1/2021) BMI 37.6 NOTE: Low 201.1 in August 2021

    2022 Starting Weight: 209 BMI 37.0 (1/1/2022)
    Goal for 2022: <200 (Dr set target to reach & stay under 200)
    Stretch Goal for 2022: <170 (Overweight instead of obese)
    Current weight: 206.8 BMI 36.7
    2022 weight loss: 2.2
    Total weight loss: 38.2
    Last week's successes: I created a menu for the week that includes both lunches and dinners! I also signed up for my strength class (class for age 50+ taught by a very active 70 year old that has routines to music ... repetitive hand weights to music plus things like squats, lunges, planks. )
    This week's challenges: Following through with my menu plans, journaling everything that goes into my mouth (quit journaling in October and gained weight of course). Oh and make sure I drink water instead of Diet Coke!

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150's

    WK01 Jan 3: 206.8 Back where I was before the holidays in Nov-Dec where I didn’t track food and ate everything. Just goes to show me that paying attention and NOT eating every salty snack in the house makes a huge difference on the scale.
