Hi Everyone! I'm Sylvia from California....

Well, lets see... I started my journey on April 14, 2012., I weighed in at 198.2 pounds. Since then I've lost 35.8 pounds. I've set my goals very HIGH... when I reached my half way mark on October 14th, I was 6.6 pounds away from my goal. I have 34.4 pounds to go and this challenge is just what I needed to get me to where I want to be come January 1st! =D

My starting weight:

11/27 - 162.4

Good Luck to All!!!

WE CAN DO THIS WITH THE HELP AND SUPPORT FROM EACH OTHER!!

I am at my heaviest right now, 154 lbs. (my weight fluctuates up to 5 lbs a day though so numbers are hard - I can tell how I am doing by how my clothes fit). I have been doing MFP for a couple years, but always fall off the wagon. Same with exercise, I will get on a kick, then get a cold or something, and fall off the wagon. My biggest struggle right now is living with my boyfriend. He is super thin and fit, but can eat a lot and likes good stuff (good as in bad). He would be totally supportive if I cooked healthy, but for some reason I don't for us. I only see him Thurs-Fri even though we live together because he works nights. So M-W I will log my eating, etc. but then on the weekend I want to go to breakfast and out to eat and get treats b/c I never see him so it feels like time together. I am hoping a challenge will keep my accountable. I also have been dealing with health problems lately that are getting me really down and not feeling great about my future, so I hope getting back in to the swing of things will at least help somewhat.

Hi all, I'm trying to lose weight following a pregnancy. My baby is now 4 months old and I am breastfeeding. I'm not sure how the breastfeeding impacts weight loss. I originally set my calories to 1500 because I was told I need 300 extra calories to nurse but I recently dropped down to 1200 calories this week because I've seen no weight loss. I exercise 5 days a week.

Hi everyone! I'm Jennifer and I initially started this journey at 153 lbs, which is the most I've ever weighed. I am only 5 ft 3, and my ultimate goal is to get down to 130. I feel a LOT better than I did at 153 but I am shocked it has taken me almost 5 months to lose 14 lbs (I really don't know why it's taking so long but it's disappointing.) Hoping this challenge will keep me motivated! For this challenge I want to lose 5 lbs, which is definitely going to be difficult for me due to all the birthdays this month and Christmas.

Current weight - 149.4

Hi All- I am 5'4" and weigh 163 lbs., 165 being my highest weight. I was muscular but slim in high school-- no cellulite or tummy pooch. I ate whatever I wanted but was very active. I never used to weigh myself but I believe I was approximately 140-145 lbs when I was looking my best and feeling my most energetic. I was SHOCKED when I got on the scale New Year's Day 2010 and weighed 160 lbs. I still fit into high school clothes but they looked different--my face is wider, arms and legs fluffier, and the dreaded stomach pooch has lodged itself onto me. My friend and I started South Beach, but when I got back to college it was hard to avoid carbs with being broke, going out to eat, drinking, etc. I have been trying to lose 15-20 lbs since that day, but to no avail.

I remain active, and wish I could be more active. I've tried eating healthily and watching portions, cutting carbs, even giving up diet soda, my favorite thing. My weight won't seem to budge, and coolsculpting didn't touch my tummy pooch. It is now less than six months until my wedding and I want my flat tummy back! I hope to be in the low 140s for my wedding day and lose overall inches so I look good (and fit into) my wedding gown!

I have been doing well with MFP for a couple weeks now, but I'm not losing ANY weight yet. It's frustrating, and I wonder if my stressful nightshift job is contributing to the problem. My friends are all thinner than me yet wat less healthy and work out less...it is pretty frustrating. I hope a group will keep me accountable and encouraged throughout the holidays.

Hi! Everyone...My current weight loss journey began about a month ago, after a health scare. So the timing is perfect for a new start, and a new me.
Current weight: 349.2 on my 5'7 frame...:noway:

Hello everyone! I decided to loose some weight so I will feel better about myself. I am amazed at all the friendly and supportive people on MFP. I hope with all the wonderful support I have here, I can reach my goal!

Hi All!

I had Gastric Bypass in 2006, lost about 97 pounds. Then had a blockage that ultimately ended in my anastemosis (sp?) stretching and I gained pretty much everything back. So I ended up gaining almost everything back until I was 271 pounds again.

I finally had my opening my repaired on October 19, 2012. This is not the same as having the surgery and I still have to be very mindful of what I eat and being physical to try to get all the weight off. So far, I have lost 16 pounds and would like to be down to 240 by January 1.
