Hello lovely ladies! Hope you all had fabulous Christmas and New Years celebrations!
After a roughly 3-4 month absence I am back. Heavier, but also more determined to get healthier as I'm not in the best place and have decided that being kind to myself and my body is the best first step towards improvement.
I intend to start C25K again in the hope that my foot holds out, and am aiming to go to the gym 3 times a week, like I used to.
Height: 5'10"
HW: 183lbs (Fri 24th March 2017)
SW January: 168.4lbs (2nd January weigh in)
Ultimate goal: Around 150lbs
January goal: 163lbs
January body fat goal: 26.8%

I gained 6lbs over my lowest weight in August. Which is better than I expected. We moved cross country and to add to the stress of moving, we’ve been having issue after issue with our rental house and my oldest son had a very hard time with the move emotionally. I’m still not even close to being unpacked, and the house is still not fixed, but my son is improving and so is my morale. I’m going to set a reasonable goal of a 3lb loss by the end of the month, but really hope I can achieve 4. Here’s to shaping up!
Good to see you again @rianneonamission !5 -
Height: 5'3"
SW: 159
CW: 135.6
January Goal: Complete 4 weeks of Couch 2 5K. Weight loss will be consequential hopefully, but not the priority. Let's shoot for 133.
1/2/18: 135.6
Gained back 2 lbs of the 20 I lost last year. So not too bad overall. Probably would have been none if I worked out over the holidays. Did my first day of couch 2 5k Monday, and it went easier then expected. But I was more sore then expected yesterday, lol.6 -
Hi ladies I’m back too. I’ve been struggling for months, and have gained 7kgs since last Christmas (2017, not the one just gone
)
SW 67.8kg (2/1/19)
My goal this month is 1.5kg loss.
I’m hoping that my head is in the right place now, I’ve been pretty down recently.
Good luck everyone

Hello Ladies:
I'm new to this group and am hoping that it will help keep me accountable.
Last year I managed to lose 15 lbs but over the Christmas holidays gained 3 lbs back. I'm looking to get stronger, lean and I want to run 5k this year.
Height: 5'3"
Start Weight: 141 lbs
Ultimate Goal: 125 lbs
January Goal: 135
Good luck everyone!7 -
3lbs is not too bad. I gained 4-5lbs
Welcome everyone!1 -
So, December was a rough month for me in nearly all the major areas of life (with the exception of my health) - but, job news, housing news, relationship - ya, that all pretty much sucked.
This led to a low-level depression for the last half of the month and through the holidays, but there's a light at the end and coming through the other side. The not-bad part of all this was it made sticking to my weight loss goals REALLY easy LOL.
So, starting off the new year where I had *hoped* I would, and ready to keep this ball rolling!

I was without a scale for 6 months, mostly due to my own laziness 😂, and I found out I gained 15 lbs 😭. I started calorie counting 25 days ago and have lost 2 lbs.

I'm sorry, that sounds like a pretty *kitten* situation. I hope things are on the up again on all fronts.

Happy New Year everyone, I’m back in too. Dropped under my original goal weight of 125 around Thanksgiving but some of that was due to stress. Now I’m at the high end of my maintenance range and feeling fluffy. Time to manage maintenance better.

Sorry you are dealing with all this. I feel you on the irony, hitting goals while every area of life is under stress. Hugs and hoping everything works out ok.1 -

This time last year I was 165 lbs, out of shape, had no upper body strength, never had been to a gym, and my clothes were getting tight. While I've gain a few lbs back from my lowest in 2018, I now go to the gym 5 times a week, can bench press more than I ever thought possible for me, and I'm almost too small for my normal belt. 2018 was a good year and while I didn't accomplish everything I wanted, I am headed in the right direction. Here's to 2019 and everyone working on their goals!!5 -
Jumping on the new year, new me bandwagon to give this another go.
Height: 5'6"
SW: 159lb
Ultimate GW: 128lb
January GW: 152lb
I'd like to be down 7lb by the end of January, but I'm mainly choosing that goal because some of my SW is artificial gain because of the holidays. After I lose that and even out a bit, I'll be happy with a steady 0.5-1lb loss a week until I get to my goal.3 -

Hello shark week. That was a bit earlier than expected. Hoping it will mean that some of my weight gain was in fact hormonal water weight and this month's goal will be a doddle..
In other news, re-starting C25K will have to wait until Feb at least. I stubbed my 4th toe really hard just before Christmas and that caused it to click when I walked. That only lasted 1-2 days because I barely moved over Christmas, so I'm guessing the rest did it some good. Cue retuning to work this week and walking a fair bit more (desk job but I walk to work and go for lunchtime walks, even if just home), and the clicking has come back with a vengeance. Had it checked out and they reckon it's a torn ligament. Not painful, but the clicking sensation makes my skin crawl, it's unpleasant. No running until it's healed, so weight training at the gym it is!
@vla246 That does sound like some lovely hormonal water weight. The joys of being a woman...

Hello ladies:
I am new to the group and MFP in general, and I'm happy to find a group of people in the same boat as me. I typically hover right around 140#s, but since October 2018 I've been up to 150#s (my husband and I go big for Halloween, and it was all downhill from there). I'm working on weight loss with my husband, but morale tends to drop pretty fast when he looses 5#s and I only lose 1. Glad to have some ladies here for motivation and support.
Height: 5'4"
SW January: 148.8#s (January 1 weigh in)
Ultimate goal: Around 130#s
January goal: 142#s
January body fat goal: 28%
2nd Jan: 148.8#s – Body fat 31.6%
