So in 6 weeks not quite 5 lbs. But considering all that is going on in the world I'll just have to be OK with that. I'ts nearly 10 from my highest weight (HW). I definitely feel better. Clothes don't really feel looser yet. 20.8 lbs to my goal.
Thought For The Day
While researching videos for Qi Gong practice, I came across this saying: There are two mistakes along the way to Mastery:
Not starting it and not going all the way.
I thought the same applies to my pursuit of fitness - fitness being a type of mastery.
I've started, now I must go all the way.
I hope we can all achieve mastery of our fitness.
“Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times.”
I'm 37 years old, married, we have a 2 year old. My goal for this challenge is to lose 15-20 lbs. 2020 starting weight was 225. My ultimate goal weight is 135-140 I'll plan for Saturday weigh ins.
Good luck to everyone on reaching your goals.

@JenT304 Our numbers are very similar as well as the slow and steady!!! I know for myself I get frustrated but gotta keep reminding myself that I will get to my goal eventually!! Good job and keep up the good work! You are down 10lbs and feel better...that's something to be so proud of!!! You got this!!!
I'll weight in on Wednesdays. I am going to set ambitious goals [email protected]'s inspirational quotes. Since it's a 30 lbs challenge, I will make that my goal.
Good luck to everyone else on reaching your goals.
Dec 30th 211.0 lbs
Jan 6nd 211.6 lbs - I've had a enough NSVs this week not to worry about this "gain"
Jan 13th 212.1 lbs - it seems I am going in the wrong direction? I think in the long term, the loss will
Are you weighing food? I find that I'm incredibly inaccurate at eyeballing and eat significantly more if I'm not making sure my tracking is accurate.
Yes, I'm weighting food. But if I have pizza, beer and wine the night before I weigh in - I always see it on the scales. It's not about my diary - it's about my intake.
Something that definetly helps me to stay on track is eating 3 square meals a day.
If I eat brekky, lunch & dinner & don't skip anything, it works out much better for me. It keeps it simple & I never feel absolutely starving! It sounds so easy but I need to remind myself to stick with it, sometimes I still feel like snacking and sometimes I am going over my calorie goal, but it's done mindfully & it's logged. I'm also making better choices.
Fact I'm only 6 days off the e-cigarette, I am cutting myself a bit of slack.
Once I'm more confident off the e-cigarette, I'm gona really focus on proper nutrition and supplements. I'm going to focus on whole foods & more home cooking, meal prep etc. My diet isn't terrible but so much room for improvement.

Spot on, Mark (can I call you Sam?). I've never smoked, but I can relate. Replace "Giving up smoking" with "Starting a diet" and that's me all over. Well, maybe not "thousands", but enough. I'm on Day 193 this time around!
Afterthought: I just decided to start my diet every morning, for the rest of my life. Whatever happened yesterday no longer matters; it's what happens today that matters.
May I invite myself to join your group?
Just started MFP on Monday January 10/21 with the goal of losing 20lbs.
But I'm having a hard time imagining or believing I can lose the weight?
I have never really tried before🤔
I have developed a binge eating "thing" with sweets over the past 10 yrs(can't believe I have let it go on this long!) and am now at least 20-25lbs overweight & feeling awful.
Heartburn, arthritis and feeling very bad about myself.
Stats:
I'm 54(female)in Feb
5'5"
162lbs on Jan 10/21
Thanks🙂
NSV!!! I was able to button up the pair of ski pants that a month ago I couldn’t even pull up all the way!! They were tight... oh boy were they tight... but they were on! Hope this time next year I can actually wear them without fear of splitting the rear end 🤣

Good grief! Weight loss is like watching a pot of water waiting for it to boil. Drawing from all the patience and grace I have and grateful to be headed in the right direction.
So, feeling a bit inspired this morning by the # on the scale - though I know not to get too hung up on that - I appear to be down 2lbs, despite having a big pig out on Friday & Saturday.
Maybe this will work!!!🤔🙏

We started at almost the same weight and are both at the same weight today! Great job! I know we can reach our goals.
