    I have reached my goal: lose 20 pounds by New Year. Today I am down 20.2 pounds since September start.

    I readjusted my FGW to another 4.8 pounds. When I first began MFP I had calculated 145 using frame size and height charts. If I lose that last 10, I think I will be too thin.... Aiming for 150 pounds will put me at a place I can maintain the 3 to 5 pound fluctuation that seems to occurs depending on my activity, meal composition, fluid intake and sleep. If I don't have a cushion I fear I will worry myself sick about gaining lots back. And I want to buy new clothes that will look good for a long time!

    I'd appreciate any thoughts or suggestions with this!

    Still 3 weeks! You can reach your goal for the challenge!! :)

    lost 6,2 so far since sept 1

    273 this week down 2 pounds more.8.2 lost since sept 1

    11 pounds since sept 1 270.2 this week

    two more pounds 268.2 .13 since sept. 1

    anouther 1.8 pounds so 14.8 since sept 1

    my scales acting up real weight is 273 instead of 267 so only down about 8 pounds since sept 1 still think i can do 20 by jan. do not know how long they were wrong just went back to weight now.but good news saw the specialist today he cut my metformin dose in half removed my water tablet and changed my stomach pill to when needed instead of daily

    water gone from last week lost 1 pound from 2 weeks ago. 272 9 pounds since sept

    270.6 to day 10.4 pounds doubt i will reach 20 by january but still a good loss and i am not giving up

    269.8 that is 11.2 pounds

    You are getting closer! Excellent perseverance!

    269 even 12 pounds lost 2.5 weeks to go might make 15 but not 20
