    Hi, I've been off the wagon for a while. This is the first time I'm posting on MFP. I'm tired of yoyo'ing up and down and ready to lose this weight for good.

    Hi there. I see that your goal weight for this month is 41lbs less than you weight today. I think you should aim for a lower loss, since hardly anybody can lose more than 20lbs per month (most weight loss programs tops at 2lbs/week). Since, by the looks of your profile, you're just starting losing weight, I think you should settle for 10lbs this month, tops. I don't mean to be a downer, but if you aim too high, you might get frustrated more easily and abandon the program as a result.

    Slow and steady one goes far :smiley:

    I'm in. Despite maintaining a deficit I didn't lose anything at all in December which is wildly infuriating (I added running back in to my exercise programme so I think my poor body's still adjusting to EVEN MORE EXERCISE) so I'm totally in. With bells on.

    You can only edit for an hour after you post. You can either make a new one each week, or find the old one and quote yourself in a new post.
