are you right on track?
Behind?
Ahead?

I'm behind due to the fact that three times now I've lost and gained the same 5 lbs back

but I'm moving forward ...............birthdays, summer cook outs and holidays are just around the
corner so I gotta stay on top of this

    I figure I'm on track... I am probably losing about .5 to 1.5 pounds a week I think.

    I set the mfp predictor to lose 1.8lbs per week and I'm lucky if I manage 1lb in 2 weeks and that too with eating within calorie limits and working out 5 days a week. But I'm almost halfway there!
    15lbs more to go!
    Oh and I weighed myself today and saw I've lost a pound! :drinker:

    I don't have a "track." When I started on my weight loss mission I chose not to set a timeframe or a goal weight because I knew and understood how it was not something I could predict without growing to understand more about my body and how it responds. All I can say is that I am continuing to make progress. 121 lbs down.

    Thanks! Its the best feeling considering I went on a vacation and didn't work out for 2 weeks and gorged on so much food!

    I'm on track. I've lost 67lbs. since mid-July 2011, never gained, and am only 6lbs. away from a healthy BMI. I've been striving to reach 75 lbs. by my 1 year mark, but my weight loss really slowed down this month so I'm nervous.

    Right on track! I started at 227, sat at 224.5 at the end of April, and decided I wanted to be under 220 at the end of May. It's May 31 and I weighed in at 219.0 this morning! Go me! My next goal is to be at 213 when I see my nutritionist in early July, and m summer goal is to break out of the 200s - I KNOW I can do it!

    I think I'm on track. Well, I feel like I am anyway. I started in January actually giving this a shot, and I've lost 20 lbs, about 3% body fat and gone from a size 14 to a size 10. I think I'm a little less than halfway to my goal really, although my body fat percentage isn't going down as quickly as I'd hoped. My final goal is to be around 20% body fat (last I checked I was at 31%) so whatever weight I am/size I am when I get there is my goal. I want to be super fit and healthy, and to feel like I fit my frame properly. At 5'3" with a very small frame, I still feel very heavy at 148 lbs.

    I'm very behind on my weight loss goal! For the past six months, I've been really struggling to lose weight and have really only lost about 5lbs. I'm really trying to get back to eating healthy.

    I don't have a timeline, I only have a goal. If I had a timeline, I'd be tempted to rush things by not eating back exercise calories and other things that have torpedoed me too many times in the past.

    My weight loss pace is acceptable, in that I am losing weight at the pace I set at the moment. I know that, as I approach "endgame", that pace will slow, and trying to speed it up at that point is self-defeating and not setting me up with the tools necessary to maintain it.

    I feel like I am on track. Some weeks I have no loss and other weeks I have been down 2 but I am down 20 in less than 3 months so that is good for me

    You guys are all awesome! When I come across all the discipline you guys exercise over yourselves, it really inspires me to get fitter and not stop just because I look thinner than I used to in the mirror!
