    I just (re)started on MFP last week. My weigh-ins are weekly and my weigh in day is Monday. My goal is to lose 47 lbs.

    I plan on posting before and after photos in Success Stories with every 5 lbs lost. I will also take new measurements with every 5 lbs lost.
    If you wish to see my Before photos, they are here: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10854113/i-did-it-before-and-ill-do-it-again-before-photos#latest


    I did this same thing back in late 2020 with much success - I lost 20 lbs in 4 months.

    CHALLENGE RESULTS:

    Week 1: 1/17/22 - 177.1 lbs (starting weight)
    Week 2: 1/24/22 - 175 lbs (today's weight)

    lbs lost: 2.1

    As of 1/17/22:

    Height: 5'7"
    Size: 14
    Measurements -
    Bust: 41 in (40C)
    Waist at belly button: 38 in
    Hips: 43.5 in
    Thighs: 26 in
    Jeans size: 32

    Goal Weight: 130 lbs

    Love this! This would put me very close to my goal! Feel free to add me! I'd love some accountability and motivation

    Today is January 25th
    Starting weight January 2022:235

    Total weight lost:4
    Last week's successes: exercise was great. Weather was nice so we went for walks a lot. My nutrition was decent
    This week's challenges: sweets and snacking. It's hard for me to make things for my family and not over indulge. I really want to be better at having a single helping when we have treats. Or at least not 5.

    Hi all. I’m Steph, 33yr and 5’4
    I got very close to my goal weight last summer then fell off the rails big time due to extreme stress. Back on the waggon now and ready to undo the damage. Aiming to lose 24lbs

    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT:
    Dec 28: 10st/140lbs

    Jan 02: 9st11.5/137.5lbs
    (-2.5 lbs)
    Jan 10: 9st 11.2/137.2lbs
    (-0.3 lbs)
    Jan 24: 9st10/136lbs
    (-1.2lbs)

    WEIGHT LOSS GOAL:
    8st 4 (116lbs)

    Successes:
    Started a new medication called mirtazapine 2 weeks ago. I’m feeling better than I have in years, the downside is it’s really affecting my weight loss, every pound is putting up a fight now. I’ll get there ^_^ I’ve made tremendous progress with cleaning the house and selling/donating things.

    Challenges:
    I have 5 days left to complete my Fitbit bingo board. 30k steps to go! Wish me luck.

    🌟 Last week's successes: I logged my food every day and stayed under my daily goal. I've lost 5% of my body weight 🎉🎉🎉
    💪 This week's challenges: Staying motivated as my weightloss slows down. I weigh every day and I seem to have stalled again 🤔 I'm in my mid monthly cycle, which makes me hungry and plays havoc with my water weight. I will stay strong 💪

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 61 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    Total 2022 weight lost: 4.6

    Last week's successes: Stayed on track even though the scale wasn’t budging.
    This week's challenges: Going to CA with my daughter, for the weekend, to celebrate my birthday (Disneyland tomorrow). Traveling is usually an excuse to eat an insane amount of food and then be off plan for weeks/months. So I'm excited to be traveling but so nervous because I don't want it to derail me. I want to enjoy the trip but also stay on track.
