I'm new to the site . . looks very helpful. I've lost about 125 pounds during the past year. Saw consistent loss between 1 and three pounds per week. Some weeks were better than others, but for the most part, pretty consistent. Still would like to lose 25 more, but I lose two, and gain one . . .lose two, and gain one. This is the pattern since January. Hoping the site will push me along and help me track better.

    I'm a 54 year old mom of five and grandma to one, but all the kids left the nest last year. Finally my time to do something for me so my health rose to the top of my list. I do a step class three mornings a week, and then do 60 minutes on an elliptical at least four times a week. Weekends I try to walk or exercise with my husband . . . I do two or three days of weights, but I'm not too consistent at it. Just wish there was a "magic" formula for the last 20 pounds. Haven't tracked my calories too close up to now, but I can see it's going to be a major player from here on out. Planning a tummy tuck for May so I really want the last of the weight off!
