Where do you stand with your weight loss right now..

I'm the queen of yo-yoing... Starting weigh 276 in December 2005, lost 110 lbs by spring 2008, gained 55 back, lost 40, gained 30 back... and now on my way back down again. I figure that I'll eventually equalize, since the yo-yos are getting smaller each time. yikes!:embarassed:

Ideally for someone my size and the pace I should be going for 2 lbs. loss a week I am very behind. I should be outta the 300's by now and in the 260-270's range. I am patient. My overall my goal is to keep active, eat healthy most of the time and keep the diabetes away. The weight loss is just the cherry on top of a sundae.

Am right on track, maybe even a little ahead! I started losing weight kind of by accident due to a medication that didn't agree with my tummy. I dropped about 15 pounds in a month. So in all, since Christmas, I've lost a total of 41 pounds. That averages to about 2 pounds/week. In May alone, I only went down 8 pounds, but lost a LOT of inches. 16.5 inches lost in just the past 30 days. I wasn't taking measurements for thigh, calf, arm & chest until 10 days ago, and in just 10 days, I've lost 2", 1", 1", 2". YAY!!!!

I'm on track. I started at the end of February and have lost 32lb. It tends to go in a pattern of 3 weeks lose, 1 week gain but the general trend is downwards so I'm very happy. My aim is to be a size UK10/US6 by summer next year, which I hope will be around 135-140lbs. I'm 5' 7".

Well, from my initial goal, I am behind 13lbs. BUT I have lost 27lbs since Jan 16. I wanted to be down 40 by June. I realized that this is not a race, its a lifestyle and with the exercising and better eating habits the weight will come off in due time. Im not giving myself a time limit anymore.

I'm off track in that I wanted to be further now, but on track in that I love my body now and treat it with respect. I no longer "need" to lose any weight. I could stay here and be content... I'm mostly losing weight still to see just how lean I can get. And then be able to make an educated decision about what physique I want. I think it is best to just not stress, keep the cortisol in check, and continue taking good care of myself!

I am sucking really bad at this....once again! I completely lack motivation to exercise even though I keep telling myself I need to walk the dogs more often...then I get home from work and just want to relax for a bit, then I deal with supper, various chores and kids and by the time that's all over I just want to sit and watch tv til bedtime. I know in my head once I get on track and keep at it for a few weeks it will just become regular routine and won't seem like such a chore, but I am having a really hard time getting there and the longer this plays out the more disappointed I get in myself. I am also finding it hard to watch what I eat and count calories...well not hard to watch what I eat, I do that, but I feel like I have to limit how much I eat in a day so I don't go over my calories because sometimes I am busy and we have to eat out then I screw up the whole day and don't want to eat for the rest of the day, which isn't healthy for me I know!
I am so frustrated

The good news is that I am losing but not as much as I would like. I am losing only 1lb each month but I guess its better than nothing. My strength is getting stronger and my clothes are getting more loose.

The issue I have with losing weight is that with strength training I tend to bulk up instead of geeting lean muscles . My hubby is getting jealous of my arms He's a skinny little thing and want to bulk up.

I have 10% left until I reach my original goal - but Ive abandoned my scale (literally - no longer in my possession - but somewhere in my neighborhood) and am about 3 months into tackling my body composition and Im finally happy again. Killing myself to lose the last 11 pounds when I was losing inches and sizes and PRing all the time without seeing the weight loss part.... was causing me stress and depression.

Now Im having fun again.

I"m the same way after I get home from work Im just bleh its all i can do to get supper under way and
chores that need to be done plus I eat out ALOT because of my lifestyle so that doesnt help either

but if ya get on track even eating out is not as bad sometimes you get use to what you can eat
or portion control you just have to have the willpower which i lack a lot of times lol

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 did the same although before I went on vacation is when I started falling off track and ever since I keep saying I am starting right & keep failing! I know I can do this I just have to push a reset button in my head!!!
So I am behind right now!

On track or ahead, not sure because I don't have a weekly goal, only an end goal! I started at 301.6 on January 17th, 2012 and as of this past Tuesday I am 260.0 pounds. I have lost 4 or 5 pounds in a week or .5 to none in others. But as long as those numbers keep getting lower, a time line isn't horribly important.
