    GW 125

    Like I said, been stuck here for a 3-4 weeks at least. Trying to track macros as well as calories, but it's hard sometimes, especially eating out sometimes.

    So I guess I need to do more than just say I am in. :)

    CW 143
    GW 135

    I am 46 years old and 5'6".

    I had maintained 135 for about a year and then last year the holidays hit and I gained 5 lbs. Then over the winter the temps were cold and icy and I just didn't run. I stopped walking in the morning and just got off track. I gained another 5 lbs. So just like that I put 10 lbs on. I stopped, took a breath and started all over again. I know tracking works. I don't always like to do it.

    I am with you all in this journey! We can do it!!

    I'm in. I've been looking for similar blogs/groups just wanting to lose 5-10. Most are geared for more but just getting rid of those few pounds can be a struggle and it really "weighs" on my brain at times. CW 136 GW 129. Thanks for the support and I'm rooting for all you too.

    Yesterday was the first time I tracked in a long time. It's so easy to forget how many calories things have. But with a three mile run, I stayed under. :) Good job Vicky!

    I've been at 129.4 +\- a few ounces for over a week. Staying under calories, hoping to get to 125 by Thanksgiving. That might be a stretch though. Maybe 125 by Christmas and have it the first time I haven't gain over the holidays in a decade. GW is 119 or thereabouts.

    We have 4 weeks until Thanksgiving. We can do this. My goal for Jan 1 is to not be over 120. So I need to lose a couple in these next 4 weeks when there should be no big events to go to.

    December is so challenging!! I love fudge and cookies!!! Temptations everywhere.

    It sounds like we are all pretty much on track....We can do this. Stay focused and be kind with yourself. You have worked hard and made such good progress.

    It gets so hard, doesn't it? I am still eating at a deficit but enjoying the continued firming that is happening and the increase in my strength and endurance from my exercise. I am trying to focus on that while being patient with the scale.

    I am starting to make a game of seeing how close I can get to meeting my macros and stay inside my calorie goal. I am a little Type A, lol

    I have struggled so much with the last 5 (or 10) I would really like to be 110 ( a weight I haven't seen in years) but am currently fluctuating between 117 and 121. Ugh! It seems like I make progress over a few months and then life happens and I am right back to where I started.

    (I am 5'1")

    I'm in! Need some accountability to help me lay off the Halloween candy :)
    Current weight 126
    Goal weight 122
    I am 5'4", 29 years old.

    My biggest issue is my sweet tooth. I can't kick my habit of having something sweet (usually a couple pieces of dark chocolate) at the end of the day, which usually sends me over my calorie goal. Any tips?

    Skaliwag 27 -- maybe a few more minutes on the treadmill, elliptical or stationary bike (or whatever you like to do) to be able to enjoy your chocolate and stay under your goal?
