    I'm close, except I have a bad tendency 3 days a week to binge eat and massive binge drink...

    I do intermittent fasting and it really works... My weight loss doesn't "stall" but my weekends I pick up a fair amount back lol!

    I could skip the weekends, but you know.. you can't really enjoy a party without getting drunk.. well I can't anyway... And when drunk I eat a lot... and this the party season now so ummm yea... Average about a pound to 2 pounds a week now, if I didn't party a bit, I likely would be at 4-6 pounds a week loss... Which means 2 weeks or so my goal weight maybe 3 weeks... but nah.. I can't NOT enjoy my beer or whisky or cupcakes etc... lol :/

    I figure I can do it if pushed, but why race it? Just having the knowledge that I can is enough to keep going... I eat 1200-1500c a day depending on training, don't eat all training cals back, sometimes I do and sometimes I eat over and lose consistently on IF...

    My weekends I eat maybe 3000-5000c a day, so that kind of ruins it... but I figure if losing "healthy" amount each week, then to hell with caution and I just get drunk lol... but yea, my thoughts do make me feel guilty... I mean, a nutella pizza... was awesome! But don't wanna think of calc the calories.. not to mention beers + normal pizza + salad I had at same meal haha

    I've lost 44 pounds till now. Cant believe it! I am at my last 10 pounds. I'm starting insanity tomorrow so I hope that helps drop off the pounds and tone me up a little as well. Lets hope I can drop these pounds before a wedding in February. I want to wear something sexy!

    I am a long way from my goal, but more encouraged than ever! I have lost close to 40 pounds and I feel like a different person and for the first time in my life I believe I can do it, without starving or missing out. I am excited and positive about it and I will continue to move forward!

    I'm ~15lbs from goal... and I've been there for over a year! I'm frustrated because when I go way off track and eat just for months, I stay the same. When I'm careful and track and work out, I stay the same.

    I decided to switch focus and work on building strength for the next few months, make that a routine, and then zero back in a stricter diet.

    At least I feel comfortable at this size. It's not my ideal, but I feel like "me".

    Oh and OP, I'm from Ottawa too! Living in Alberta now, but Ottawa will always be home :)
