    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 am almost exactly following your same path of weight loss - started Jan 1st at 184 and now I'm down to 173 and I am down one pants size and my shirts are definitely less clingy. I must admit that I have not completely cleaned up my diet just yet (still enjoying one too many pastry breakfasts and big pasta dinners), but I want to make small systematic changes over time so that I can stick with this lifestyle over the long haul. I set up MFP to lose 0.5lbs/week. I'm guessing that I'll start losing weight more quickly as I continue to make healthier food choices. Last week I broke down and ate some greasy cheese pizza for lunch (an old staple) and I got so sick afterwards. It seems my body is learning to "prefer" healthier choices. ;)

    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 at 182 on Jan 1st and I am down to 171! We are just about the same!! Slow and steady wins the race...

    Congrats to all the people who've done so well since the first of the year...or since whenever you started. Great job just getting anywhere losing anything. It is so hard to do when we are constantly bombarded by TV ads that make everything look so darned appealing. It's amazing any of us have been able to resist.

    After losing a bit more than 30 pounds since last summer I've adjusted things a bit. In part this is to give me body a chance to create a new equilibrium...sort of get settled and used to the new me. My new plan is to lose 1/2 pound per week instead of a full pound. Lost 7 since January 1st.

    Started around Jan 5th I think and have lost 17.2 lbs and have gone from shoving myself into my fattest clothing to fitting into them normally now. I am also able to fit into a pair of jeans that I couldnt even come close to buttoning in December.

    I started Jan 3... was 184.6 - today I weigh 168. Down 16.6 lbs or 9% which feels great. I haven't seen as much of a change in clothing as I had expected at this point... went from about 14 pants to 12 (a couple of my old 10's fit too, but only from certain stores). My belt though has moved in 3 notches. I'm thinking I was wearing my old clothes way too tight and I probably should have been looking at 16's. In shirts I still wear a large (my shoulders are too broad for anything less) but they fit much better through the chest and tummy.

    We're in the same boat - I started on Jan 1 at 181 pounds and I've targeted a 500 calorie per day deficit. I'm currently down to about 169.

    It's important to get a body composition scale. My 12 pound loss breaks down into a 16 pound fat loss and 4 pound muscle gain since I've been lifting weights heavily all year too. So, my body fat percentage has gone from 31% to 22%.

    I started January 4th b/c I wanted to loose 30lbs by my 30th birthday which is August 4th. I started at 184 and this morning I was at 168.6. I am happy with my loss so far but feel as though I have hit a plateau the last week or so. Not giving up though, going to push through. I just recently started an exercise regimen so I am hoping that will be the key to get me over the hump!

    I've lost about 20 lbs since Jan 8th or so - this past week was the first week that I did not lose any weight. In face, I gained a pound. However, I've increased my calories so here's hoping next Tuesday's weigh day will be better!

    Jan 9th started at 264 and currently 242.6. Lost 21 lbs so far!

    This is me almost perfectly, I started on the 7th, I was at 265 and am down to 242.9 so about 22 lbs down! I havent gone down a pant size (I'm pregnant though so my waistline is going away for sure!) but I've noticed it in other ways!
