So I started up MFP today and I weighed in at 159.8. I will try to stick to the 1200 daily calories (which seems like such a small amount!) and I plan to exercise at least 3 times a week. Aim is to lose 2lbs this week!

    I started 1 week ago and weighed in at 348.4. I have stuck to my calorie plan so far and actually have had a bit of trouble reaching my daily plan. But so far I've lost 8.4 pounds. I still have 90 pounds to reach my 1st goal.

    Hi everyone, I weighed in at 202lbs on 2/21/18 that is 3lbs gain from last week. I blame Valentines Day, ha!. All the treats got me off track. Sweets are my weakness, cake and cupcakes are my crack, ha! I try to eat low carb but I slip time to time. I want to start actually tracking macros and not guesstimate it. I do try to have a vegetable with a meal or all meals. Good luck to everyone on their weight lost journey

    It's ok we all slip from time to time. What's important is to not give up and "just keep swimming" <3

    So this weigh in this week was a disaster! up 1.8lbs. We were snowed in and tried to keep to it at the start but it got to the point where we didn't have any healthy food left and just had to eat whatever was there. So was up and started back on it yesterday and I'm down 0.6 so far so that's positive.

    Onwards and downwards!

    Hi Everyone,

    I hope it is OK to join!

    SW: 158 lbs
    GW: 132 lbs
    Total lbs. to lose to goal: 26 lbs

    January
    7/2: 158 lbs
    14/2: 157 lbs
    21/2: 155 lbs
    28/2: 153 lbs

    Lbs. lost: 5lbs
    Left to lose: 21lbs

    I weighed 132 lbs last May, and my weight crept up to 140 lbs by August. In the subsequent months I have moved country and began stress eating and drinking and not exercising. I lost 60lbs the year before and was continuing with that. But since I have put back on over half of what I lost. I am really disappointed in myself, but want to take control of it rather than keep ignoring it and not addressing it. I am looking forward to us all helping and supporting each other. I need to be accountable so am looking forward to doing just that. x
