Let's Get to Goal Weight in 2017!
 

I'd like to get to my Ultimate Goal this year. Problem is, I don't exactly know what it is. Right now, I'm calling it 150. However, in the past 6 months I've really gotten in to heavy barbell training, and I know I'll have more muscle than I did the last time I lost weight. So for right now, I'll say 150, but I reserve the right to revise it as I see how my body transforms this year (absolutely no higher than 185). I'll weigh in on Sundays.

Hello VickieLou and Thank you for starting this thread. I have been gone from here for a few years and of course almost gained back everything I lost. I love the idea of posting for the whole year and to see the actual difference every month as I lose the weight (again) :) This will really help motivate me :) Thank you and I too have copied your setup and hope that it is okay! May 2017 be our year of winning the battle! :)

TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS FOR 2017:

Weight Loss Goal for 2017
 

I set weight loss goal every year multiple times but got failure always. I don't why because I go to the gym and reads about it on the internet but no success. This time trying something different and believing in personal trainer along with tracking device. Fingers crossed.

Current Goal: 87 kg
Goal: 70 Kg

Thanks for starting this thread, VickieLou!

I did so well in 2015, and expected to get right past First Goal to Ultimate Destination in 2016 but instead regained about 2/3.
This time I Will do it.
Off to a good start:

12/28: 210.9
01/04: 205.9

Challenge Start Weight: 210.9
First goal: 138 (Will have lost 100lbs from startweight)
Ultimate Destination: 120
Secretly would rather be: 116


Good luck everyone!!

I want to join this challenge

Woohoo! Halfway there! Sitting exactly on the fulcrum of the seesaw, 50lbs gone, 50lbs to go!! :carrot:

I've lost 22.5lbs in this challenge, so glad you set it up, VL!! Thank you.

Starting out a bit late, but would like the accountability for the year. :D
I will weight in monthly (or more if I have progress) and typically weight in on Sundays.

I am starting late, also, but logging my weekly weight so far. I would be happy to lose a pound a week until I reach a weight where I feel comfortable. No actual number goal in mind right now. Just glad to see a lower number by the end of the year.

Good luck to all!

Ooo, a perfect thread for me. This year's goal was "50 in 52," which works nicely since I'd lost just enough weight the previous fall to put me in at my goal by January 1, 2018. With a one or two pound weight gain at the holidays, I'm going from 167 (175 original SW) to 115 to make a "52 in 52" instead. So far I'm on track:

January

1/2. 167
1/9. (1/08 actually, 166.5)
1/16. 164.4
1/23. 162.8
1/30. (2/1 actually, 162.6)

February

2/6. 162.6, my first frustrating plateau of the year--totally my fault, not making helpful choices ;)
2/13. 161.6 ah, that's better
2/20. 160.0--met goal
2/27. 159.0

March

3/6. 156.6 making some tweaks that are working well, so I'm a week and a half ahead, and a big mini goal reached: no longer obese BMI!
3/13. (3/11 actually) 155.6
3/20. (3/19 actually) 155.8
3/27. 154.8--met goal! After another plateau, that's very exciting. :)

April

4/3. 154.0
4/10. 152.8
4/17. 151.6
4/24. NWI (vacation)

May

5/1. 153 (!!vacation did a number on my plans, that's for sure)
5/8. 5/9 actually, 150.0 (a pound behind goal, but hopefully I can catch up)
5/15. 5/16 actually, 149.2
5/22. ?
5/29. 5/27, 148.6

I can't lie, it scares the crap out of me to post this. Makes failing feel like more of a possibility I guess. But hey, I'm still on track in March, so that's at least a great thing!!

Good luck everyone!!

I have struggled for so long, but started out fresh this week and ended up with an 8 lbs drop! First decent drop in a very long time. I hope I can keep this going!

Well done, WBH!! That's a great drop! A great fillip!!

I guess I spoke too soon, as I am back up 2 lbs. But I expect them to be gone again after today! Thinking positive thoughts!

WBH, still! 6 pounds is great for one week!
