    Hello all,

    I have just restarting using MyFitnessPal again. I never really used the community features before.
    Hoping it helps me to stick with it.

    Total weight lost: I've been stuck in the 156-154 range since mid-December. I know it's because I'll do really well for the first 2/3s of the week, and then suddenly lose motivation and pig out. I'm trying really, really hard to break that habit, and I'm hoping this will help with that.

    Just for fun: What are you going to do for yourself when you lose 5 pounds this month? Buy a new book for my kindle!

    I just started the weight loss process again after several years. I did ww then and lost some but gained it back. I really love mfp and how it makes me think about what I am going to eat. My goal is one pond a week but I have lost ten and it has not been 5 weeks yet. I can already see the difference in some of my clothes.

    I normally weigh in on a Sunday but I'll definitely weigh in on the 28th so I know just how much I've lost!
    I'm aiming for 5lbs, but hoping for 9lbs so I can hit my second goal of 159lbs and 20% of my original body weight(ish)! :)

    I would love to lose 5 pounds this month. I think I would reward my self with a pair of shoes. As far as how I would lose the weight, I workout at the gym a lot usually on the treadmill. I might try some of the Zumba and swiming classes as well this month.
