Started New Years day (usual New Years resolution!) and am actually still going! I am 33lb down and pretty proud of myself! Still a long way to go but feeling more confident now that I'm actually going to keep this up!

how is everyone else doing?

    That is amazing! 33 pounds lost!? Congrats!
    I started a few weeks ago, I've been on here before and off and now I'm back! I'm not stepping on the scale til March 30th (my birthday!) so I'm not sure how I'm doing! Otherwise--I'm doing just great! Have an amazing day!

    I fall into the correct time frame. I actually started in December, not as a resolution but because I found a gym cheap enough to convince the accountant wife to let me join. Down 14 Lbs and 4 inches. i started with the muscle instead of the fat, so I've spent most of my time lifting with a little cardio every day.

    33 Lbs is a great number! Good job.

    I joined MFP on 1/4 and have lost 11 pounds. It's going a little slower than I had hoped, but I am limited as to cardio exercise I can do. I shouldn't complain. I have lost at least the 1 pound per week. I envy those who can be more active. :ohwell:

    Thanks everyone and well done to you all too! I did start with 132lb to lose, and it is easier to start with bigger numbers the more you have to lose. Settled down now to about 2lb a week, but I keep going by working out how much I will have lost by Easter...then summer..then Christmas!

    Started Jan 2nd, sister-in-law's 30th on new years day so there was no point starting then! Have currently lost 17lbs and 3 pairs of trousers that no longer fit :)

    Well I've worked out between the 8 replies to this post and me we have lost 124lb! That's a whole other person! I like the 3 pairs of trousers lost too! I have started a bag of clothes that are too big, to put in the loft (but think maybe they should go to the charity shop so that I'm not tempted to grow back into them!)

    Congrats to you all! I hope it has worked well enough to keep it up, too. Getting healthy is exciting!

    I didn't start on Jan. 1 but since that day I am down 16 lbs. Starting to run out of weight to lose; 17 more to go!

    I started on 1st of Jan, but I've had a few wobbles. I slipped a disc in my back and couldn't work out for 9 days....and I fell off the diet wagon during that time too.

    I've lost 14lbs (my ticker includes the 11lbs I lost last January too and managed to keep off).

    I'm not weighing in again until April, and I have around 18lbs to go.

    33lbs is amaaaaazing!!

    I guess I personally don't buy into the new years resolution thing...if you can't make a decision and stick with it because that is what you want, the calendar is probably not going to make a difference. Do something or don't do something.

    It's the 7th of March, so I guess we've all stuck with our resolution!

    Congratulations everyone on your great results.

    I started on New Years Day and am down 31 pounds (14KG) and have also just completed week 7 of the C25K program. I'm finding that clothes that were far too tight at the start of the year now not only fit but are too loose. I've already had to buy a new belt and suspect I'll need some new trousers in the next month.

    More than anything I love the extra energy and zest for life I've found recently. One morning I was walking to work from the station and felt I was gliding over the ground - prior to the change in lifestyle this had me slightly breathless and feeling my leg muscles cramp.

    I've still got another 60 - 70 pounds to get down to target weight but feel committed to carrying on the journey.

    I started my weight loss plan New Years Day 2011. I joined MFP in March 2011. I met my goal in April 2011. I have been maintaing and losing more very slowly since. Had a minor setback from Thanksgiving to Christmas, but that was expected and quickly remedied.

    You guys are doing a great job...not taking anything away from that. Keep up the good work and here's a happy, healthier us! :)

    I just say that because I have some friends that start working out and eating right every new years like clockwork....and it seems to always fall apart on them. :/ Too bad.
