    I have lost 38, I think another 10 will do it - I will see how I look, and not go by the scale (completely)

    I've lost 115lbs, but put 40lbs back on over the last year. So, I have that to go to make my goal weight. Hang in there!

    I got about 45 more to go. It's coming off slow now, but I will get to my goal!

    45 for me. I don't anticipate reaching that goal until end of this year or maybe early next year. This process has taught me **** happens just have to get back on track as fast as possible and continue this new way of living. No reason I should ever resort to crappy eating habits even if I can't exercise due to any reason.


    you nailed it!
    I'm on a 2 month plateau right now. I know I'm losing fat and gaining muscle...dropped from 38 to 36 in the waist in those 2 months while staying between 210 and 215. I have been doing some weights and I am beginning to see the muscles under the fat of my belly. So I'm making progress just not on the scale and that's ok!!


    30 more lbs to go but i'll be happy just getting to the 190's.

    I am aiming for 30-35. A car accident derailed my life and the meds they have me on a side effect is weight gain. I started just using this site a few months back and nothing was happening. I then went back to some natural products I have used in the past, for pain control. And in 3 weeks I am down 9 pounds (I know it only says 6 but its really 9 I forgot to log my starting weight when I started). A HUGE key for me is to log what I eat RIGHT after I finish the meal. I always stay around the 1200 calorie mark even with excercise....unless I have had a crazy workout day then I will go up to half of the extra I "earned". Feel free to add me......can always use help to stat motivated....like this morning when I didn't want to go run but knew I had to.....and drug my butt out the door.

    I would love to participate! I am currently on the track to lose 45 pounds. I have lost 3 pounds in the last 2 weeks. I make sure to do Cardio every day. and I make sure to switch up the exercises I do from day to day, so my body doesn't get used to them. I have also tried challenging myself each day to 'do two more reps' and then 'two more'.

    I make sure to eat just a tiny bit little under my calorie allowance. I also have an empty 32 fl. oz. bottle, filled with water, that I make sure to keep with me at all times, When its gone, I just fill it back up. My daily goal is to drink at least 4 of them.

    I'm down 10lbs but have 30 to go. Ideally, I'd like to be at 165-175 but I have a feeling that I wont be totally shredded until I get to low 160s but that is still a ways away.

    I'm really impressed...some of you have lost a significant amount of weight! Keep up the good work and congratulate yourself on what you have accomplished...just not with a brownie:) don't dwell on what you still need to do.

    I have about 30 ish to loose. It seems to get harder for me to stick to something. I know what I should be eating, but sometimes I just want a cookie :-) Any tips for helping with cravings?

    I always have those 100 calorie cookies or brownie bites in stock! Whenever I get a craving (usually chocolate!) I grab a bag and have at it! Its great because I take care of the craving and its only 100 calories so I don't have to feel guilty about it!

    Just starting out on my weight loss goals, but I'd like to lose 50 lbs - maybe less if I start to feel comfortable at a lower weight. Motivation is what throws me every time I "start" though. . .any tips for motivation?

    I struggle a lot wit motivation too! What helps me is I have posted a picture at work, in my car, and on the fridge of myself at my largest weight and one of my smallest weight. It helps me remember where I have been and to know that I don't want to go back and to know that it is possible to get to where I want to be because I have already done it .... so I can't use the excuse "its impossible" or "I can't" because I have proof that it was done once!

    Of course some days are harder than others and I may not want to watch what I eat or work out but I just remind myself that I'm not perfect and tomorrow I will just have to be on point with all of it! One day at a time! We can do it! Feel free to add me if you'd like.

    30-35 lbs would be ideal. Working on it. Fell off the MFP logging for awhile, but back to logging regularly. Need to up my exercise and maybe add some weights. Dealing with major stress due to spouse's health crisis and finishing a dissertation so the weightloss seems to be stalled for the moment.

    While I realize I can't control many of the things occurring in life right now, I realize I can reasonably control what I put in my mouth and hold myself responsible by daily logging. Not sure when I'll reach my goal, but I plan to reach it.

    Here's to good health, healing, and happiness.

    My first goal is to lose 30 but even then I'll still weight 150, ideally I'd like to weight 140 at most but I'm not entirely sure how realistic that could be... at any rate I have a lot of belly fat so maybe it is!

    I've just started and need to lose 15kg which I think equates to around 35lbs. Feeling a bit fed up with the ever increasing circle around my middle.

    Aiming for 50 overall, with a loss of 21 lbs over 10 weeks. I started out swimming half hour daily, built up to an hour every day. Added in the 100 squats /day challenge ( on day 29 today) and just started the 30 day shred ( day 4 today). Hoping to reach my halfway goal of 25lbs in the next 4-5 weeks in time for a friend's wedding. It has helped to set little goals along the way, basically tackling each half stone at a time. It hasn't been easy, but I can't believe it has only taken 10 weeks to get this far. I worry that it will all suddenly stop and I will always be overweight. Nobody has noticed that I have lost weight, but my clothes are more comfortable and I feel better, but sometimes I wonder if it is real or am I just kidding myself. I read all these messages and know I am not alone and that helps.
