3. I honestly do not know. I have always been heavy and have no idea how far down to go, I have it set to 160lbs, but that was bases off my height.

4. DO NOT STOP!! It takes time for some people to show any change at all. The first couple months were tough for me, but I did not stop. If you really want it you will keep going!

meadow_sage

My name is Kimberly and I have lost 69 pounds so far and I'm looking loose about another 200 (yes, I said 200).

Do whatever works for you! You can't go wrong if you are moving and eating plenty of fruits and vegetables (especially vegetables).
I logged a "normal" day for me before I started and if I have a "bad" day now, I remind myself that it isn't no where as bad as I was eating on any given day four months three months ago. Brush it off and keep on going.

Simplybarb

Name: Barb
Pounds lost :70
Pounds to go: 10
Advice: Don't always make your goal a weight - pick something you want to be able to wear again - hang it where you can see it every day - try it on once a week - When I added exercise to my calorie counting,I didn't lose ANY weight for 3 months, but I lost 2 clothing sizes - But most of all, don't quit. If you eat it...enjoy it....if it wasn't the best choice - accept it and move on - Learn from it. But don't quit.

72MonteCarla

1. Name: Carla
2. how much weight you have lost so far: 77.8 lbs
3. How much you still want to lose, or are you maintaining? 12.2 lbs to goal weight, but according to body fat analysis I have about 30 lbs of fat left to lose.

4. Best single piece of advice you would give people just starting out: Fill out your profile and be honest with yourself about WHY you want to do this. Revisit your reasons regularly. If you are struggling to stay on track, read your profile. If it doesn't inspire you to stick to it, dig deeper & find other reasons, then update your profile. It is so much easier to arrive at the finish line when you know exactly why you entered the race in the first place.
