I am looking to see where other people are with their weightloss since starting at the begining of the year.

I weighed 183 Jan 1st - I am down to 173 today (171 a couple of days ago). I would like to know how far others have come. I am also down one pants size.

I'm wondering if I should be losing more.

    I started actually watching my nutrition on Jan. 4th (I've been working out since September 2011, though). Since January 4th, I'm down 21 pounds, but I'm just barely starting to see a difference in clothing sizes. Shirts are definitely fitting better/looser and my current pants are just starting to get loose.

    I have a long way left to go, though.

    Ive lost 12 pounds total since Jan. 1.
    7 of that has been since I've been on MFP.

    My goal is 35 total.

    I am down 13 pounds since Jan 1st. It is slow but steady! I am seeing a difference in the way my clothes are fitting but not enough to change sizes yet. Great job everyone!

    I am down 9lbs but I KNOW I've lost inches! I wish I had taken measurements off the bat, but I didn't! Ack! I have one more week before I will take them again. I gave up beer on NY Eve and haven't touched a drop since. The pants I bought at Xmas are in the goodwill pile now and tops are much looser. I have quite a ways to go however.

    I started around Jan 1st (not on MFP--I started MFP a couple weeks later) and I was at 170 lbs, 35% body fat. As of now I'm down to 157 lbs, and about a month a go had my body fat % checked and it was at 34%, so I suspect it's gone down a bit since. I've also lost 2 (almost 3) pants sizes!! I was a 14, and now I'm in a 10, but I JUST bought a pair of size 10 shorts a couple weeks ago, and put them on yesterday only to find they were a little loose. And I got to wear a size 8 dress last weekend on vacation :)

    I've tried like a million times to lose weight, but this time it's actually working because I've been patient and trusting the process. I'm eating more than I used to when I tried to lose, more whole foods that don't come from a box, and doing a lot more heavy strength training than ever before...and I'm noticing some major changes. It's SO exciting to see results like this!!

    Started Jan 1 and I'm down 25 lbs.
    I am almost a full pant size smaller. I have a way to go but I passed the 10% loss mark and I am over 1/3 of the way to goal.

    I started January 3rd at 212 pounds. I'm currently around 193, so I've lost about 19 pounds. I honestly feel like these 10 pounds in the 190's have been really hard to lose. But I'm sticking to it though... I've still got 48 pounds to go until I reach my goal. :)

    I started my most recent weight loss journey on January 1st at 186 lbs (size 18 Lee jeans, a little loose) with the goal of losing 1 pound per week. Some weeks I have lost nothing, other weeks lost a couple of pounds, but as of Monday I have lost 11 pounds and am now at 175 pounds (just got into size 16 Lee jeans), so I am right on target, and should be at 173 by April 1, the 13 week mark. I took my measurements on Jan 1, but won't take them again until April 1. It's more encouraging for me to see the change in inches after a 3 month period than every few weeks.

    I'm only down 5lbs since starting MFP in Mid January. I'm eating 1200 calories a day plus my fitbit adjustment. When I go back and compair how many caloires fitbit has said I've burned for the day and compair it to what I've eaten...the deficit I have is pretty close to what I've lost. I've been only loosing about a half pound a week. I'm ok with that....as long as the inches come off and the scale is moving in a downward trend. I refuse to starve myself. I've got to stick with it and make it work this time. This is a forever journey.

    I started Jan 12 at 230lbs. I'm now at 210 and have lost 3 inches off my waist and 2.5 off my hips. I didn't measure my thighs, wish I did because I know they are smaller as well! =)

    I started January 4th. I've lost 20 lbs, and a pants size and a half. Still have a way to go, but this sort of success is motivating!

    I started January 10th at 146.4 and I'm done 15lbs (131.4lbs now!) Worked out long before starting MFP though-just needed to get control of my eating and this has really helped me to be more mindful of that without being obsessive. :)

    I re-started my road to a healthy lifestyle Jan.1....I was 151lbs at 5'5"!! I was not putting in the effort I should have until the beginning of February, and even then it was not what it could have been (to many ice creams). In just the last 3 weeks (serious face) I've lost 7 lbs...as of this morning I was 138lbs. 8 more to go!!

    Lost 9 lbs since the beginning of January (155 down to 146, I'm 5'7"), but more what's exciting to me is that I lost the weight employing a sustainable plan. I don't feel like a gym rat or like I can never have potato chips again, so even though my weight loss is slower than my previous attempts at losing weight, I love that I did it by making a lifestyle change I can stick with.

    I actually started the middle of January (around the 15th). I was 180 and I am now 165 (as of this morning). I am also down one pants size. So we are just about the same. Hope we are both on the right track! :)

    This. I started on the 4th, too. Food first, then exercise. I've lost 20 lbs but am just now starting to see a difference in sizes.
