I started trying to loose weight on 2/1 and started mfp 14 days ago. Since i started mfp i am down 6lbs and since 2/1 i have gone from 277 to 267 i do my weigh-ins every Monday so hopefully i will be down a couple more pounds.7

Saiosyn - I have really been watching my portion sizes. Portion control is so important. I also only drink water. I like water so this was not really a big step for me. No more sweet tea or soft drinks. I put fresh lemon juice in my water too. I stopped eating most sweets also. I occasionally will have a small piece of something sweet but no longer each large portions. Friday is my cheat day and I eat whatever I chose on this day. It's worked so far and I know it will continue to work if I just stick with it.1

I've lost 30 lbs since the 1st of the year, and close to 2" off my waist. My milestone is almost here!11

I hit my 20lbs loss milestone a week early!! Final weigh-in for my at-work challenge is next Monday and I think, unless I totally screw up this week, I have it won. Next milestone is total of 50lbs by my birthday in mid-July. We will start a new at-work challenge in Mid April when one of my co-workers returns from a business trip to
China.6 -
I am down 16.2 pounds in 3 weeks. Been eating right, and spending an hour at the gym 5-6 days per week doing the elliptical machine.5

In 6 weeks, I have lost 24 pounds. This is major for me as I am sticking with it this time. Usually after about 4 weeks on a weight loss program I tend to go back to my old habits. But I vowed this time would be different and I will do this. We all can we just need to set our minds that we will succeed. Great job everyone!!

I've lost 11 lbs and 9.5 inches of myself in three weeks. Two of those inches were in my waist. I've been doing about 33 minutes on the elliptical 6 days a week and logging everything I eat. Just hope I can stick with it!4

when you say 9.5 inches, are you adding waist and hips together? I track bust, hips, waist, and high waist (because I have a blue-jeans belly bulge above my waist that I'd love to get rid of one of these days)1

I measure everything. Haha Neck, bust, high waist, waist, hips, thighs, calves, bicep area, and forearms. Gives me a bigger number and gives my commitment a boost. Lol5 -
*laughs* that sounds like one weird version of the hokey-pokey
That does give you a big number! 0 -

Not sure why that didn't show my comment! Haha. In that number scheme of things, bigger is definitely better! The scale lies to me and let's me down, but the tape measure is my true friend! Lol2

100% agree. The measuring tape doesn't lie! The scale movement can hide certain things. I always update my measurements: neck, bust, waist, hips, thighs, calves, forearm, bicep. It's a good tool to help keep you motivated!

According to the scale, I've lost 10 pounds since I started exactly three weeks ago
I'm going to estimate that a pound or two is water loss due to my issue drinking enough, but it still feels good to hit that first mini milestone! 5 -
I've lost 38 pounds since June, I lost motivation in October so I've been hovering there for awhile. I was measuring my bust, waist, hips and arms, and well the biggest part around my belly and love handles. I never thought to add up how many inches I lost since I started though. It would be interesting to find out!3

That's awesome! Don't forget to take measurements. It's amazing to see the inches add up, especially when the scale slows down.1 -
I finally lost my first lb! I know I'm not going at it, like a weight loss plan, I'm just trying to improve. I have a lot of medical issues in my way, but obviously carrying less weight will lessen their serverity. Doesn't it always?
So proud of all the comments in here!! You guys are all doing such fantastic work! Keep it up!

I weighed myself again today and lost another 1lb (yea, it was water weight).
I'm bragging about it here because after 2+months of daily tracking, I've now moved from Class 2 Obesity to Class 1 Obesity. When I started this journey, I was knocking on the door of Class 3 Obesity.
I've been obese for quite a few years now and had really given up on being a healthy weight. Now I'm targeting August to hit the 'Overweight' BMI category.

As of yesterday, I have lost 20 pounds!! I'm 1/6 of the way to my goal weight, and it's only been a month and a half!
I know my weight loss will slow down, and plateau sometimes, but I can't believe I've come this far so quickly. I can't really tell a difference in how I look, but I am noticing some of my clothes fitting more loosely.
Okay, 20 down, 100 to go!!8 -
I am 2 lbs shy of having lost 10% of my starting weight; I hope that I'll hit that goal this weekend - just in time for my birthday
Unfortunately, my mother is planning to make a cake - I'll going to have to figure out how to head her off at the pass on that one! 5 -
Total loss of 21 lbs (7.36%) since Jan 16. Now I need to start adding measurements since I can feel it in my clothing. Those numbers should help with the motivation factor!!6

I started a 'change your BMI classification' in the Challenges subforum, if anyone wants to set that goal and share it.

8 weeks in and down 26 pounds. Pretty proud of my accomplishment so far. It is getting easier as the weeks go by to stay on track. Logging my food and reading all the posts here helps so much. Thanks guys and gals!

An proud you should be - great job!!!!! The first couple weeks were tough for me until I started seeing results now it's a little easier to stay on track.2 -
Thank you I got a new pair of shoes as my 60lb milestone reward. I like to focus on non-food related rewards as I cross off each milestone. 9lbs away from the next one, but can't decide between a mini Sephora spree or more shoes! 4 -
As of this morning I have lost over 25 pounds!! 25.4, to be exact, and I am SO HAPPY with myself! I feel like dancing!9
