Hi everyone! This thread is a continuation from previous years. I just am not ready to give up!

If anyone wants to join in post your goal and how you plan on achieving it.

I am starting at 180 and would like to lose a pound a week. That would put me at 130 by year end. Its doable, but I dont know if its doable by me. This is not my first try, but I would be happy if it was my last!

Because of my diabetes I try to follow a low carb diet.

I’m in for this challenge. Posting in semi-blog style, most days. Today is Monday. No exercise today or tomorrow. Back at the gym on Wednesday.

I really want to eat sugary food. I’m trying to delay that for as long as possible.

Mon 87.0 kg. 5024 kilojoules eaten today. No exercise. My eczema is bad right now. Maybe it’ll get better when I’m off sugar. I’m avoiding spending money on food. I’ve wasted so much money on sugary foods. I’m hoping to lose weight again tomorrow.

Next week I’ll increase my intake to around 6,000 kilojoules and have a standard amount of exercise. I want to average 6,000 KJ. In the meantime I’ll aim for 5,000. I have a weight loss competition. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday weights are critical for me continue with the competition.

Tuesday. 86.6 kg, a loss of 400 grams. I'm very pleased with that because it means I've lost weight for 7 weeks so far. I still have my weight loss competition to think about. Two more weighins for that.

​​​​​​Today I plan to eat 5,000 kilojoules or close to that. No exercise because I often gain weight when I exercise and my competition is more important than losing fat right now.

Just checking in to say hi Wannabehealthy!! I see you started a thread for this year so I thought I'd stop by. It's been a few months since I have checked in and I am happy to report I am basically the same weight!! It said I was 151 when I last reported. Today I was 153. For me the scale can go up or down two pounds in one day for seemingly no reason. My goal is to get and stay below 150 without feeling hungry. LOL

I am not sure if anyone even checks on this thread anymore, but I wanted to report I am still working on my weight. I was 150.6 this morning. I have been bouncing around 150 and as low as 148.8 recently. My goal now is to stay at or below 150 and keep working on getting steps in and doing arm and ab exercises with my loose skin issue. I hope all is well with you Wannabehealthy and KStrong!
