I lost 6 pds my first week. Next weigh-in on Monday. I don't think I've been quite as successful this week although I haven't really cheated per se. I just haven't felt as "weight-lossy" this week.
Nevertheless, I'm happy I haven't given up. Looking forward to seeing everyone else's progress.Good luck autumn for your weigh in, I'm sure your lose 1lb at least. Even so it's a step in the right direction.
Hope everyone else is doing well0 -
I lost 3lbs this week. It is my first weigh-in and I was very pleased. Hoping for 2lbs this week. Will keep you all updated. Well done on your losses so far0

Friday I had a little bit of a binge and was avoiding entering it in my diary. But just before bedtime I talked myself into being honest with myself and entered it all. I was totally surprised to discover that I was still within my calorie goal!
Turns out honesty *is* the best policy. I slept very well. :-)0 -

Hi everyone!
One of my friends from high school has lost nearly 20lbs using this site so I thought I'd give it a try. I've gained more weight than I like since graduating from college, moving, and getting engaged. Right now it bothers me that my wedding dress is a little too small and I can't wait until it fits perfectly.
I think scales and I don't go together well. Right now I don't have a scale at my house (but I'm hoping to buy one later this month). Not having a scale means I won't be able to give updates on my weight for a couple weeks. I also know from past experience that if I have a scale, I can get obsessive and I'll weigh myself WAY too often so I'm going to have to put it someplace where I won't be tempted to weigh myself every day (and be mad about my weight), but where I can weigh in weekly.
I was sick this past week and went to the doctor so of course they weighed me. The scale said 163.8 (the most I've ever weighed) but I was wearing clothes, shoes, and my coat with multiple items in the pockets, I had recently eaten, and I had wet hair from my shower so I can't say how truly accurate that was. Until I get a scale, I am just trying to stay under my calorie goal and keep track of what I eat. I already know that weekends are going to be the hardest for me because I tend to eat more than I do during the week.
My ultimate goal is 125-135lbs by Christmas (my wedding is Dec 30). I weighed 135 when I graduated from high school in 2006 and 142-145 when I graduated from college this past May.
Feel free to add me as a friend!

Intro: I'm Stacey. I'm 20. I started January 4th, I believe and so far I have lost five pounds which is mostly water but I'm okay with that. I want to lose about 50 pounds. I have fond memories of being 130 again. My weight has kept climbing ever since I left home three years ago. Not relying on mom's good home cooking and not doing track in high school and all of that active stuff. I decided it's changing time..Now! I want to start being more active and just be healthier.
I would like to lose 50 pounds by this time next year at least..But the sooner the better.0 -

Hello all 'starting January 2011' people,
I'm am pleased to report that I lost 4lbs the first week and 4lbs the second week, that's just over half a stone in weight in two weeks...I'm very excited! I don't expect to lose that amount every single week but I'm loving how it's going at the moment Reading all the success stories is so inspiring and all the support from like-minded people is fabulous, it keeps me on track.
I can see that everyone seems to be doing well too - lets keep up the good work and I hope we all reach our goals x0 -

Evening everyone.
We all seem to have gone a bit quiet :bigsmile:
Just finished doing the new release of Body Attack. So that means I have a nice new routine to be confused about!!
I am sooooooo tired now :yawn: and trying to decide what to have for my dinner. Oh and only 6 hours of my 24 hours of exercise in January to complete. Yay!!! :bigsmile:
Hope everyones week is going well0 -
I'm in! My name is Suzanne, I am 44 and have been fighting this battle for WAY too long. I have two boys, 11 and 9, and a husband who is my rock. I work full time and have so many community commitments I have lost count. I want to be around for my family, friends and community, for a long time but if I don't shed some of this weight and get healthy, I won't. So, here I am. I am tracking my intake, I started working with a trainer and I am conscious, of the foods I eat and the way I spend my free time, because I want more of all of it. I am looking forward to having the support, and giving it back.

I'm looking forward to having an active weekend. My mum has my son for the weekend, so I get to try out the gym in the building and go for long walks, play a bit of Playstation move too. Bring on the weekend!

Hi,
I'm Kaye, and I'm hoping to lose at least 10 pounds that I have gained back, after an initial loss of 70 pounds four to five years ago. My success then came mainly from logging my food intake and walking. I told an old friend who asked how I had done it (and who didn't recognize me when he first saw me) that I had walked my *kitten* off. He turned me around, and then whispered in my ear....."Literally."
I just joined in January as I was looking for a "one-stop shopping spot" to log my food and exercise. I had been using the Live Healthy Nebraska site previously, and since I didn't join their challenge for this year, it wasn't working as well.
I do wish there was an exercise ticker available right here on MFP instead of having to go elsewhere....just a personal preference for me. Or maybe I just haven't found it. :-)0 -
Hi! I'm Sue & I'm 48.
I had foot surgery in November, followed by 7 weeks of relative inactivity plus Christmas & New Year thrown in for good measure. Consequently I now need to lose a stone to get back to goal weight (132). Have already lost 2lbs since starting here a couple of weeks ago. I've done it before and can do it again.......
Week 1 146.8
