    For MY journey, I like to see pounds lost right now. Maybe it will change when I get closer to my goal weight. :-)

    That depends. Which of these sounds more motivational to you: 10 lbs lost or 110 lbs to go?

    Me, I'd go with the 10 lbs lost.

    I go with how much I've lost, I prefer to look at it as how skinny I've become rather than how fat I still am :-)

    I agree, definitely 10lbs lost. It shows you what you've already achieved and by sticking to what you know, you can lose 10lbs more!

    It depends. If you've already lost 70 out of 80 lbs, then 10 lbs to go sounds a heck of a lot better!

    I'd way rather see 10lbs lost if that meant that it was all I had left to lose!

    I like to know how many I have to go. 50+ lost here, and it means nothing to lots of people, but to me 50 to go means I am halfway to goal and I'm more excited than anything.

    I remember when it was 110 to go... now it's only 50 ish!

    i prefer pounds loss all the way, I need to know how far I've come, not how much I have to go.

    I like to see 63 to go ;)
    Just because I am going to get down to 140 and I like to see that number go down.

    10 lbs to go!!


    I like my 147 lost ......but with only 10lbs left to lose that is what inspires me now.

    I prefer to see what I've lost, it reminds me where I was and how far I've come as well as reminding me if I've lost this much I can definitely keep losing.

    Thank you for the insight, everybody. Personally, I prefer seeing how many lbs left to go. It makes me feel like I'm counting down the days until Christmas.
