    I started January 9th at 229 pounds. Today I am 201. I officially lost all of my baby weight 3 pounds ago. I have also lost 2 pants sizes. I was really feeling badly about my weight loss because I had a month long plateau, but reading this makes me feel better. Looks like I'm right about "on track".

    I have at least 40 more pounds to go, then I will re-evaluate.

    Started on January 1st, and as of today I am down 45 pounds. Started at 290, currently 245. This has been a gradual progression for me. I started small and worked my way up. When I first started, I could hardly do 10 minutes of exercise and still ate a lot of junk (even though I stayed under my calorie goal). Now I can exercise for an hour or more, and have incorporated many healthy foods into my diet that I love. I feel so much better physically and mentally! Who knew this eating healthy and exercise thing worked :laugh:

    I :heart: MFP :drinker:

    Started on Dec. 15. Lost about 20+ lbs and now an am pretty much in maintenance mode at 121. Change of eating habits, logging every bite and making exercise a daily part of my life in whatever form I can get it pretty much did the trick.

    @Vegan Panda- We are really on a similar journey- I also started Jan. 3rd (when I found MFP, although I backlogged to the Jan. 1st, 2012 and recorded my weight from Dec. 12th because that was the last time I was weighed before my first 5 week check in on here)

    Started at around 177 (again, Dec. 12th weight, I could have gained more between then and Jan. 3rd, given the holidays etc.), but I'm currently at 150! Lots of inches lost too :)

    I started January 1, 2011 and I'm still going! In the beginning of 2012 I started P90x and working out a lot. Kind of hard to believe I've been doing this for almost a year and a half, but I feel great. As of today I've lost 83 lbs total.

    Howdy to everyone else who is sticking with it!

    I started on January 1, 2012 at 186 lbs. with the intention to lose 1 pound per week. I didn't do so well in January and February, mainly due to the fact I couldn't get outside to walk because of the cold weather, and also due to not sticking to the lower calories because of a bunch of family celebrations. In March I was able to start walking outside, and no more family celebrations, so I was able to get back on track and make up for the first two months.

    I am currently nearing the end of week 20, but have done better than I planned. At 160 pounds I've lost 26 pounds in 20 weeks. I'd say it's going great!

    I could probably have lost more weight if I tried, but my family doctor has suggested that any weight loss faster than .5 to 1.5 pounds per week at my age (56) could be harmful to my already ailing liver (NAFLD, and my gall bladder was removed) and also would result in my aging skin not being able to "shrink" as it should. He said slow and steady is the way to go for me.
