    I am still here - made my 10% of body weight goal from last year - but inched back up towards the end - not a crisis just need to renew the concentration and remember how I did it . So this yeat another ten% means 23 pounds.

    That's totally doable. so heres to January (and february and march..:smile: )

    Yes I'm here. I lost 80lbs last year and I've lost a total of 116lbs now. I'm about 50lbs or so from goal weight. I hit a two month long plateau in Oct/Nov, very frustrating!

    JulieDonahue seems to be back on track with the new year, I guess we might see her posting in here soon?

    Ah! I'm so happy that there are still active people here! I lost 22lbs last year and toward the end of the year re-gained 4lbs. This year, I jumped back in 100% and got a gym membership. I'm hoping for a more productive year, this year. Last year I went strong until summer and then faltered.

    I'm still here. I lost 30 pounds last year. I'd like to lose the same amount this year, if not more. I know there are things I can do to help that along. I took a much needed break from logging while I was on vacation so I feel like I'm ready to tackle this upcoming year.

    I lost 25 lbs, and then gained a few back. I'm still in it, though!
    I'm starting off 2014 right by going to Zumba classes on Saturday mornings, and using my mini peddler whenever I sit to watch TV/Netflix. Constantly trying to improve. :)

    I'm still on MFP, but I rarely have time to check the boards. If only we could access Group from the ap. I lost 89 pounds in 2013, so I am halfway to my goal. Hopefully I can reach it (or get darn close) in 2014!!!

    I'll try to do better checking in more often. :)

    YEP!! I'm back!! I was off of MFP for quite a while. BUT....I'm back to get myself back on track with eating right and losing more weight. I lost over 40lbs last year. One third of what I want to lose. I realized that my body, no matter how disciplined I am only loses at a slow rate. Now that I know this, I won't be nearly as frustrated when I only lose three to five pounds a month and not the ten I had hoped for! I have stuck with Zumba all year and have done three or more classes a week for over a year. Now, I am finally getting the nerve to branch out and try other things. I did a kick boxing class tonight and it TOTALLY KICKED MY BUTT!! I only made it through 40 min. of an hour class, but I am going to keep at it and keep going to build up my endurance. I still have a little over 80lbs to lose, but I will be ok with losing another 40 this year!! Slow and steady, right?!?! So good to see so many of you still here!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!

    I'm so glad you're all still working toward your goals! The gym I joined is having a 90 day weight-loss competition. The winners get 10K. So, I'm doing that. I don't know if I'll lose nearly enough in such a short amount of time to win but it's a great motivator!!

    Hi all - I am coming back to this group after being away for quite awhile. I had lost about 30 lbs and am sad to say I have gained about 15 back over the fall and winter.

    I am struggling with fatigue and weakness associated with fibromyalgia but I still need to lose this weight so I will find a way to make it happen! Right now I am going to be breaking up my working out into 3 small workouts during the day, all walking.

    20 min AM, 10 min at lunch and 20 min in the PM.
