    I was there at the beginning of 2012 and I can tell you it CAN be done - even for this middle aged lady. I lost the weight and gained my body back by using an MFP goal of 1200 calories total per day with a healthy diet (of around 1700 calories) with plenty of daily exercise to burn off about 500 calories. I think exercise is key to getting your metabolism up. You can do it! Oh - and I planned in special treats on the weekends that didn't kill my progress, but still kept me from feeling deprived. Just keep focusing on making each day "complete". Don't think about pushing a lapse until tomorrow. Make TODAY complete, then those days will add up to weight loss on your weekly weigh in. Keep going!

    GW-160 and like some of the rest of you if I make it that far I will keep going then.

    I have been doin this about 3 months and I haven't had that great of success, I get lazy and feel defeated. To be honest I feel like I can't do it but regardless I am going to keep pluggin away and at least try for one more day, one more day after that until I feel better.

    If anyone is interested in becoming friends add me if you want.

    I am in! Just send you a friend request.

    This journey is hard. More support from friends the better.

    This is the second time tipping the scale over teh 200lbs marker. This time I got up to 238 pounds. It wasn't until I was in my brothers wedding last year and saw the pictures that I became completely disgusted with how I let all the hard work i did before go to waste. Basically I gained it all back plus another 15 and it all went to my *kitten* and gut. Ugh.

    I have lost 24 pounds so far in the last 6 months. Not big success but a success in a small amount. Now I have to hit it hard to lose the last 30 pounds in the next 5 months......bf and I are going to australia n November and I have plans to be in a bikini every single day there and feel good about it.

    I have been doing this a while and have great result then get off track and regain what I've lost. The older I get the harder this is but now I am starting to see some results that aren't scale related but energy wise. So I'll take the little loses I seem to be able to achieve as long as I can continue to keep up with my kids and enjoy life. For the first time in a long time I'm happy and more confident than ever before. Slow and steady is the way I plan on reaching my goal...little goals along the way and little rewards as I reach them.

    Current Goal: 190

    I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes a week before I got married [May 26, 2012]. Was given a meal plan, 1200 calories/day and goal to lose 20 lbs. Following the plan alone dropped me from 207 to 187 in roughly 8-9 weeks.. enough to go from size 16 to size 14 jeans! Haven't been in those in 8 years! I have no idea what I weighed in my younger years, just that I was maybe a size 10/12 through MS and HS and then boom!

    I have a 9 year old step daughter, and my wife and I used to go hiking often.. She shattered a bone in her foot and went from 125 at 5'8" to 190 lbs currently. I want to be love my body again, and hopefully be the motivation to help my wife get back into shape as well!

    *ETA* Not sure I will ever fit into those 'cute clothes' because my chest has always made those cute shirts impossible :(
    *ETA#2* Please feel free to send friend requests :D

    Just had baby #2 and have never been this heavy. Can't even fit into my "fat" jeans :(
    I've struggled with my weight my whole life, but was always pretty active so I had more of an "athletic" figure and I was ok with that. Now I've had two babies and work a desk job, so the scale seems to be constantly moving in the wrong direction. Need to get the needle moving down!

    I just got back on MFP and hopefully will stick to it this time! I'm tired of people saying "It's ok to carry a little extra weight because you're tall." No way! I want to be tall and healthy!
