    I'm 5' tall and 143 after having my baby boy who's 4 months. Ideally I want to be 100 lbs like when I was 19. I'd love to make friends who keep each other accountable.

    Struggling this week. I've had an awful chest cold for a week and a half, work is stressful, life is stressful, ugh. Sticking to my meal plan but not working out like I should. We'll see what Thursday's weigh-in brings.

    Ok officially fell off the wagon here.
    I had a very busy and stressful week last week and while I was under my calorie goal most days because I was too busy to eat properly I allowed a few treats to slip in uncounted and the end result was a gain of .4kg. I was really pissed off. It's just so hard to lose the weight, even if I was a few 100 calories over it should have kept me at maintenance at least.
    Anyway after a few days off I feel like *kitten* so regardless of the scale weight I feel better eating healthier and within a certain amount of calories.
    Work Is full on for the next few weeks but I need to try to keep on track and keep counting. I may only weigh myself once a month from now on in.
    Welcome to the newbies.
    Well done to all who have lost and to those like me who are struggling this week just keep coming back to it again and again. Success is a series of habits repeated until you achieve what you want.

    Juliemargaretkim, congrats on the 129! o:) You've been a good girl. I weigh the same as last week, but it's still a win considering all the crap I ate over the weekend I was on the road. I still worked out, so that made a difference. Still fighting the same cold, so I'm not at full strength yet. Looking forward to checking my measurements in a couple of days to see if I'm tighter after a month. Gotta keep the bad snack foods at a minimum for a while. Good luck all!

    I've been doing MFP for exactly one month. I've lost 4.5 pounds and an inch off my waist and my hips. Not a bad start. I'm a little jealous, emilysusana. :D You can do it! How long have you been at it? I'd love to be at your weight eventually. I'm only eating about 1200 calories, but I'm not too active yet. I have a lot of health issues to be careful with. Keep making good choices over the weekend- bad ones are difficult to undo.

    It sounds like you're on the right track! We have the same starting weight! I've been at it for 6 months. The weight has come off faster than I thought it would... I've mostly netted 1200-1250 (I've played around with setting to one pound per week or 1/2 pound), but I would have had a lot of trouble sticking with that if I hadn't been getting a lot of exercise. I calculate my exercise calories very conservatively, so that might be why my loss rate has been a little higher than expected.

    I eat well but do miss the chips and sweets. They're so calorie dense they're hardly worth it! Since this is my 3rd time I want to nail maintenance. I've lost the weight twice before. Maintenance is 1350 so that's hard to sustain in the long term, for me.

    Fiddletime, I can relate to the multiple weight loss successes and wanting to stress maintance this go round. Help me understand the 1350 calories you are saying are your maintance. I'm eatin 1340 calories and each week I'm losing weight.

    Are you exercising? Are you active at all? My maintance is probably about 1850. We are the same height and I'm small boned.

    Im 5"2' and lost about 20 lbs on MFP a few years back. I'm maintaining well but still don't have the healthiest habits when it comes to food - I stress eat and need me sugar/carb fixes so I'm back on MFP to try to change my ways and kick up my energy and enthusiasm for life. Please add me, I would love to have others to share this journey with. Diary is open.
