    Goal weight 145 - 150 lbs
    Today :162 lbs -1 lbs

    Hi everyone! How is everyone doing? I'm resting today. I also like to post my weight on Sundays.
    Things are moving slowly but I'm okay with it. I keep reminding myself that the goal for me is to get healthy and the weight lost is a side benefit. I try to pay close attention to what I'm doing and sometimes I mess-up... so I own it, move on, and try to own a better day tomorrow. Some days are harder than others. There's nothing worse than being home on summer holidays when it comes to eating. It's too easy to get to food.

    I've been walking a lot this month. I just discovered some super-kool workings of my phone: I am such an idiot when it comes to smart phones because I only make calls and text on them. I'm still typing this on my PC. However, so far this month I've walked 130,080 steps - 53.80 miles! Burned(4,363 Cal) and it's only the 15th of the month. I told my sister and she said I could just about walk around her island of St. Kitts twice! I like know that! All this walking is being done around 40 acres of dry, hot and dusty desert dirt roads at the crack of dawn. I can't wait to see how close I get to 100 miles this month!

    Every time that I read someone's post I "like" or respond to it in some way to let them know that someone heard them... even if I don't have anything to say. I think it will help us feel like we're not alone. So keep reaching for your goals! Go heroes, go!

    I just bought that audio book! You are inspiring. We are similar. I am a tad older. I am 66, 5'4. Currently around 173. Goal December 150 ish. I am in So. CA. Trying to lose 1 lb per wk. Seems I have gained and lost over and over. I seem to fall off around the holidays and stay off til spring or summer and start over. I hope to stop this self sabotaging behavior. Glad I have others to share with here.

    Starting weight - 249.5 - March 2017
    Lowest weight - 202 - December 2017
    Goal weight 183 (planned maintenance range 180-186)

    6/29/18 - 208.5 - Making a fresh start for Onederland after Independence Day.
    7/6/18 - 209.5 - A little temporary gain from the holiday carb fest. Here we go!
    7/12/18 - 210.5 - Arrggghhhh! The bad news - the scale is going the wrong way. The good news - I'm getting my workouts in - lifting numbers are going up - I'm staying under my calorie target. Next week will be better.
    7/26/18 - 209 - slowly moving in the right direction. Lifting numbers still going up. Getting most of the workouts in. Logging all the food - looks like I should lower the calorie target just a bit.

    Hi all, I know I'm a month late but I really think I can reach my goal weight by December, so this challenge is a really good pace for me. I just finished a 12 week healthy weight program that focused on mindfulness, and I lost 15-20 pounds. I'm back here on MFP to try to lost another 15. I like the slow pace of doing it by the end of the year.

    Female - age 40
    Height 5' 10"
    SW: 212 lbs (September 2017)
    CW: 190.2 lbs
    GW: 174 lbs (a healthy BMI for my height)

    7/26/18: 190.2 lbs: I just got back from an active vacation where I actually lost a few pounds! Since then, I've been having trouble exercising though. My goal for the next 7 days is to up the exercise. I'll check in next week

    Starting weight: 147 lbs - November 2017
    Current weight: 146.2
    Goal weight: 130
    Ultimate Goal weight: 120

    A few years ago it took me 6 months to lose 15 lbs after constant exercise and watching what I eat so I'm not sure if I can reach my goal weight by the end of December but I would be ecstatic to weigh 130.

    I have a desk job so I am trying to develop the habit of walking during lunch, even if it's only 15 minutes. Also, I am attempting to start counting calories again. Here's to adding more exercise to our lives!

    July 27: 148.4 lbs

    My weigh-ins are on Fridays. For the month of July, I gained weight and I'm really hoping it's muscle mass lol. I've been doing a stair workout (go up 5 times for 5 days, 6 times for 6 days and so on) with my bf and I've added strength training (a week ago).

    Apart from that, we are starting to make lunch for 3 days out of 5 days of our work week. This week, I'm having baked tofu, steamed rice, and steamed broccoli for lunch. My biggest problem is keeping up my good habits so here's to trying!
