    Started Jan 6th as a personal goal to rejuvenate myself! Feb 5th now and still going strong with a 10lb weight loss. Feeling accomplished and motivated. Haven't had any desires to cheat or add in extra calories. Pulled my office into the mix of things for a 2014 healthier you goal and everyone is doing fantastic! Slow and steady wins the race. Congrats to everyone for sticking to it and digging in for the lifestyle change as apposed to a fad.

    I started Jan. 7...2013.

    Like the OP, I didn't make a New Year's resolution; I just decided in Dec. 2012 that I needed to lose weight (high cholesterol, blood pressure inching up, and lower back pain), but that the winter holidays were a bad time to start. On my way home in early January I read about MFP in my sister's copy of Consumer Reports, and on Jan. 7, the first morning I was home, I stepped on the scale and started to count calories.

    It seems to be working!

    Still here!
    Decided I needed to track my food and was sick of not liking any of my clothes in my wardrobe on me anymore. Chose to do it after Christmas, not as a resolution, but didn't eat much over Christmas anyway since I was unwell.

    Even more determined as I was on Jan 1st. I have a wedding to go to on Feb 22 and I want to lose another 5lbs before then. That's basically 3 weeks - do-able??????

    You bet????????????????????????????

    Same! I have a wedding in April to go to and that's even more motivation- to look good in my clothes because I know there are going to be cameras everywhere. And we all know what they say about cameras.....

    I'm still here too, and another one that just happened to join in January rather than a real resolutioner - I'm not much of a new year resolution type.

    I'm so glad I joined! The site has been so useful, both for tracking and for learning about how to become more healthy. And I've discovered (for the first time ever) that I actually enjoy exercise and eating well. It's amazing. One very happy noob, and planning on sticking around. :smile:

    I'm here! I just joined the site last month to help keep myself accountable for what I eat. I haven't made any visible progress yet in losing fat, but I've been sticking to my 1200 calorie-a-day goals on a weekly average, and I'm hoping if I keep up with it I'll start seeing changes in this next month.

    Woo hoo! So good to see so many hanging on into February! If we all make it through March, that's 25 percent of the year down.

    I wouldn't consider my journey a resolution. It just so happens I started on January 3rd and haven't stopped since.

    Not really a new year's resolution, just so happened to start at the beginning of January. Coming close to the end of February, 5kg down and still motivated :)

    I'm here. Probably my third New Years resolution. This time I went all in. Logging everyday, bought my fitbit, workout plan, accountability buddies at work, money on the line, joined a competition, and reading up on nutrition like mad.

    Im down 8 pounds. 24 more pounds to go and Then I'm off to build some muscle.

    I feel good.

    Well - actually really started usig MFP some time in November, after following Weight Watchers plan for 12 years. It's been like the dawn of a new era. I lost more weight in November and December than I had, lost the previous 11 months in 2013. OK - I also bought a fitbit at the beginning of December, and amped my exercise up. I reached my target weight December 29th, which I had pretty much given up on.
    I don't do resolutions, but I guess I made an exception. I promised my WW friends that I was going to maintain at my target weight through all of 2014. As of today 2/23/2014, I've intentionally lost another 10lbs. and am working to maintain there. I have five weeks of vacation this year, and would like to feel free to not track those weeks and come back from them, and not be in a panic to get back to my target weight.
    I'm doing well !
    Thank You.

    I also didn't start losing in January, but just recommitted to logging my food. The last few times I tried to food logging thing, I wasn't really "all in" and would get discouraged because I was constantly going over. I finally realized that I needed to be serious about making changes before this was going to work.

    Beginning of February, I rewarded myself with aFitBit since I had managed to log every day of January and I had decided to start exercising! I'm getting closer to goal, so the weight loss is slowing a little but the inches are still coming off and I am feeling so much better than I was this time last year!

    I hope you didn't get the Fitbit Force! I'm so glad my Flex isn't part of the recall. I'm still here, although I've fallen down on my food tracking because of lots of work craziness. But even though that's impeding my progress, I'm sticking it out.
