    I have recently gained back 30 of the 43lbs I had lost about 3 1/2 years ago. I have so many clothes in my closet that I can no longer wear because of this. I realized about a year ago that I was slowly but surely pushing the scale in the wrong direction and have tried and tried and tried to reverse the motion with no luck. I am a very numbers orientated person and so 3 days ago I created myself a worksheet that I can record calories burned, calories eaten, BMR, goals, weekly weigh-in's and since I'm an Excel freak I have formulas that tie all the fields together so I can see results if I put in just 15 minutes more of exercise a day or eat just 100 calories less a day. It's very motivating and since it's all based off of logic it gives me something solid to hold on to. It's been only 3 days but I am totally energized and ready to take on the challenge. I remind myself daily how great I had felt 30lbs ago in those dress pants that are now uncomfortably tight. I want to wear those again and feel that great again. I had ordered some new tops online...yes from China...and they are too small on me even though I had ordered two sizes larger than I take right now. These 4 gorgeous shirts should fit me in 12 weeks if I stick to this plan and they would look great with my dress pants that should fit me by then too. Keeping my eye on the prize!

    Well let's work it girl! You got this!

    I weight 243 and my goal is 150. I would love to lose 10 pounds a month and reverse my PCOS. Daily goals are to stay under my calorie limit and 60 minutes of cardio.

    I really identify with your story. I lost 40 lbs during the economic downturn when I wasn't able to work as much. Now I am back to work and it almost all came back. I have stopped the gain but it is hard work. I get down a few pounds but can't get it to keep going down. I too have an excel spreadsheet.

    Hope it has been going well.

    Short-term goal: in the 160's by June and 140's by September
    GW: 130 , but I am 5'2 so I'll have to see how I feel by then.

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend. I've been hit with the case of the munchies today, so I'll be sticking to meal shakes tomorrow to help balance the weekend out.

    I was 210lbs and got down to 184. Sitting at 199 right now and getting myself depressed over it.
    I lost the weight to help with my ivf. It failed and instead made me gain weight. I just have been struggling to get it down.
    Today I am back to using this app. First time on the chatting side. I have a month before I try ivf again. I need to shed at least 14lbs by then. To some that may seem nothing. I struggle with underactive thyroid and pcos. Both causing obesity. Only person in my family like that who has weight issues. So no one gets my struggle. Would be nice to get support in this journey.
    Long term I got loads to lose. Right now is to get this stone off.

    Started at 221+. I'm at 219 now.
    Short term goal is under 200 so I can get my breast reduction consultation.
    Long term goal is 158, which is the upper end of healthy for me.

    I know slow and steady is the best... But I really want to get to that short term goal so I can get that consult. That's the most important goal for me right now.

    Hope everyone had a great week!

    How's exercise going for everyone? I set an ambitious goal for the week of 5,250 calories (1.5 pounds) of burn, but fell a bit short at a little more than 4,900. I was going to go for a walk today for an hour to get pretty close, but it felt like the legs needed a day off.

    I love the idea of setting an exercise target by pounds burned! I'm exhausted today after a trying weekend so a bit of a false start but I'm going to aim for 3500 exercise calories burned this week. Thanks for the inspo!

    Glad my mini-success was inspiring to you!

    I decided that eating super-low-cal (I'm short) was not sustainable to me, so I aim for around 150-250 shy of maintenance most days (above BMR). I figure if I can pull off 250 shy most days and make 5250 over the week, that would be pretty close to 2 pounds/week weight loss.

    Make sure to get a variety in there if you go hard! I'm doing weights (SL 5x5) 3x/week, C25k training (modified), aquatic classes, and racewalking/walking as my set over the week.

    Feel free to friend if you'd like to follow/peek at my progress! I'm always happy to throw likes at your exercise successes too!

    I am just in the 200s now, aiming to be in the 160s long term.
    Short term - keep up with the motivation and take it week by week. I want to drop a dress size by June.
