    8-10 pounds is my goal. I’m right on the line between normal and overweight BMI. (5’6” —150 lbs) I usually just focus on exercise (distance running) when I want to trim down, but I’m trying to be more careful with food too now, since I spent the 2nd half of last year stress eating.

    I’ve been at this most of January, and am trying to be patient (set to .5 lb a week— I was starving on 1lb a week) It seemed I was losing, but I’m having some fluctuation, and probably gaining some initial muscle. Just trying to keep the faith and keep my logging accurate. :)

    Hey, mines more 15lbs by summer, but I feel like I still fit in here ! I am definitely struggling with the patience side of things, but I know that it’s good to take it slow rather than lose it in a month then gain it back by June. I’m trying to only weigh myself once a week maximum, it’s hard though ...

    I'm all in. My strategy is 3 lbs off a month - if more even better. Life happens - must be making healthy choices or it will not last .

    Hell yes 10 is my target - struggling since hysterectomy 3months ago .

    Hubby needs to get fit to so we have decided to walk every evening after dinner has settled - and a good walk at weekends .

    I'll put all my best forward to be down 10lbs by summer, too. I have this awesome bikini I wish to wear

    10 lbs is what I have put on since I started to work night shifts and make me just a size larger than I like. I cannot count the times I have started, slipped, then started over. Still I'm rather enthusiastic and positive its possible this time around

    Anyone else thinking about swim wear?

    I certainly am! We have an amazing pool here and I want to feel good in my suit this year. And wear a suit that doesn’t have a skirt to cover my butt!

    I'm a few days behind you all, but I am in! I wanna lose bet 15-20 lbs by Aug for my best friends wedding. I'm 43 and it's so much harder to lose weight this time around. I lost 30 lbs about 10 yrs ago and gained 20 lbs back since I started school. Finding time to exercise, eat healthy while working and going to school got me here. So now, no more excuses, work/school I'm ready to take my best life yet!!!

    Add me too. I like to exercise at least 5times a week, but I still get into trouble with the eating part. Trying to eat super healthy.

    I like that the 10lbs loss isn't meant to magically happen in a few weeks :smiley:

    Very sensible OP! Go for it :smile:

    Count me in. I started Jan 1. I lost 15 but am losing motivation to lose the next 15. We can do this together.

    Honestly not great, fell off track and gained 5 pounds, but I'm getting back on track now.

    You’re getting back on track so that’s great! But I understand. My weight has stalled and it’s discouraging me
