    I started 9th January 2012 (Waited until the kids were back at school!)
    Start weight 211.5lb
    Weight today 172.5lb
    Current goal 147lb
    It's going so well, especially since I upped my calories so I don't eat under my BMR anymore, as mfp started me on 1200 which was too low to sustain for me. I haven't had any plateaux, I've become so much fitter because of the regular exercise and people are noticing. I wish I'd done this years ago rather then spending the last decade up and down with my weight without the extra help and support from mfp.
    Well done to everyone else for sticking with this xx

    I started 2nd January.
    SW: 172
    CW: 149
    Total loss 23lbs
    I have used MFP everyday.. However I eat 1500, I started on 1200 but was too hungry.

    Congratulations to everyone,whatever size their success has been. Any loss is the right direction.

    Started just after :-)
  • Hello! This is my first post. I saw it on the sidebar when I was logging my food and thought "hey, what a great thread to join in on!"

    I started my diet on Jan 1st, 2012 at: 270 pounds
    Current weight as of 5/19: 237 pounds.

    So a total loss of 33 pounds since the beginning of the year. However, I didn't really take myself seriously until late March. So it's really been since then that I've had most of my weight loss. I just barley joined MFP about 1.5 months ago and it's been a lifesaver. One more thing I wanted to add: I actually started trying to lose weight 2 years ago when my daughter was born. At my highest weight during pregnancy, I was 325 pounds. So in the past 2 years, I've lost 88 pounds! I didn't actually start watching what I ate until about 6-7 months after she was born. I would also go months without tracking food, eating horribly, not exercising. It's not a whole lot for 2 years but hey, I'm proud!

    Congrats to everyone on their weight loss. You are all amazing!

    14 kg lost since January 2. A long way from goal but happy with progress. Eating around 1500 cals net a day. Exercise nothing too strenuous due to several personal & physical reasons - so has been Wii games, walking and swimming mainly. Couple of weeks off during that time due to work constraints but lightest i've been for many many years.

    I started Jan 2 and on Mfp two weeks after. 33lbs gone so far. I eat back my exercise. And have bumped up to 1500 calories a day about 3 weeks ago from 1340.

    Hi,

    Started at 340 lbs

    Current weight 255 lbs

    I weigh in once a month, thats why the weight will be different

    85 lbs lost so far, still have at least 65 lbs to go

    I'm doing well but I still binge on occasion, don't really know how to stop that

    I hope all of you are doing well also, please share your story.

    Wow - thats great, keep it up x

    I started 28th December 2011 and have lost 88lb so far. The first 20 lb dropped off stupidly quickly so I put that down to water weight and huge Xmas excess :-)

    Still a long way to go and I am trying to keep a sensible 2lb a week loss from now.

    Everyone is doing amazingly well!

    I started on Jan 3rd at 187lbs and I'm now 166 :) I did manage to get down to 160 but went on holiday for 2 weeks and then it took me a couple weeks after to pick up on all the exercise again. You're doing so great! Well done!! Keep it up :)

    I started Jan 12th and was 214.75 and am 182.5 now. I was doing great but this past month has been very up and down and I have levelled off at the same weight I was at the end of last month, so no loss this month at all :angry:

    Started January 2nd at 185. Now at 163. It's going slowly, but I did have about 3 stressful months and slacked off a bit.
    I've gotten in gear again. :smile:

    Good Morning from the UK...just weighed in and I've lost 13 lbs since 1st January.
    It's the first diet (lifestyle change) of my adult life where I'm not hungry.
    I may loose another 6 lbs and then go onto maintain.

    I started on the 1st of January at 168lbs. I'm now 139lbs. 14lbs to my goal of 125.

    I've fallen off the wagon a few times. I'm kind of happy with myself now at 139....so the motivation to keep going is not as strong. I really need to get back in the zone.
