    Ok feeling much better this week- my crazy 3 pound hormonal gain from last week is gone plus I've shed a little more from the week prior :smile: (down 0.4 lbs from 2 weeks ago)

    I think I'm going to start including body fat percentage too (according to my body comp scale, which I know isn't super accurate but I like that it gives a little more data).

    Starting weight: 165 lbs
    Current weight: 153.8 lbs
    Weight lost: 11.2 lbs
    Goal weight: 140/145 lbs
    Starting body fat %: 29.6
    Current body fat %: 26.7
    Body fat % lost: 2.9%

    Yup... this is my year too! Weight has not been where I want it, and I'm seriously doing something about it. MFP is great for keeping me on track, been doing it for a few weeks now. I'm at the gym daily, and tracking everything that goes in my mouth.

    Starting weight: 197 lbs. (one month ago)
    Current weight: 194 lbs
    Weight lost: 3 lbs
    Goal weight: 170 lbs (for now... goal to be adjusted as I get closer to it!)

    Look forward to checking in with you guys!

    A friend in Prince Albert told me you can't lose your dog there... it's so flat and treeless you can always see him running away, lol!

    Wow this is going to be a challenging week, with Christmas and all that food around. My goal is to just maintain, not gain this week! Strategies: 1). Drink lots of water (well, a bit of wine). 2) get to the gym 3) small portions

    Was sick this week so no exercise and just rested & slept a lot but stayed on track with calories and ate really clean (I always ditch refined sugar, gluten & dairy when I'm under the weather). Was rewarded with a 1 pound loss from last week!! Feeling better now too and ready for Xmas, vacation, and New Years!
    Happy holidays everyone!

    Last week's weight: 153.8 lbs
    Current weight: 152.8 lbs
    Weight loss this week: 1 lb
    Weight lost total: 12.2 lbs
    Goal weight: 140/145 lbs
    Starting body fat %: 29.6
    Current body fat %: 26.4
    Body fat % lost: 3.2%

    Hello, I am 39 years old and I am officially tired of being chubby with cellulite, double chin and big thighs. I am starting again and this will be the last time. When I turn 40 yrs old I will be where I want to be. I will come to terms with my body and workout regularly and eat a balanced diet. I no longer want to think about my weight, food or body size. It has been long enough. Who's in? I am currently a size 14, weighing 197 lbs and eating too much junk. In one year, let's vow to weigh less than we do today, October 22, 2016.

    Love your attitude! Godspeed!

    Week 9: Today's weight is 192 lbs. This is a 1 lb loss from last week. I have lost three all around total inches since Oct. Hope everyone enjoys family, food & fun. Don't throw in the towel, brush yourself off & start again. You can't fail if you NEVER stop trying. Merry Christmas! :)

    Well, I got through the holidays without gaining weight. What a surprise. Staying focused on this and not giving up really made a difference. So many times in the past, I remember eating one high calorie meal and believing that it's over now, I should just give up, I've ruined my diet so I mine as well eat whatever I like. NOT THIS YEAR. This year I'm doing all of these holidays right, not letting peer pressure ruin my goal, and if I screw up one meal, I am going to jump back on the bandwagon for the next meal. I am going to keep trying everyday.
