    I'd love to reach my goal weight of 120 pounds by March! I am 5'1" and currently weigh 141 pounds. The heaviest I've been was 180 pounds. All my life I have been overweight. Anybody that would love to help me reach my goal weight and receive motivation, add me.

    Bit late to the party but I am totally game! I have 50lbs to loose so 20lbs will get a good chunk of that done! Got given a polar ft4 for christmas so hopefully I can keep my calories a bit more accurate!

    Why are you putting yourself at 800? Is this doctor supervised? It is traditionally very very low.

    First off, having typed in it you should be able to retrieve it from your personal home page/ticker that says all the things you have commented on. Second, if you search the title or see it in the recent topics there is a star - click the star and you can find it that way.

    I would love to do this, but I seem to have difficulty when I have high weight loss goals for myself, even when I know I am logging my exercise and food intake accurately. Hmm. I will try... I want to lose 100+ pounds this year so I can achieve my main goal.

    I wish everyone the best!

    To be clear, this OSU Beaver is not the troll. :smile:

    Hmm. I seem to have forgotten how months work...I probably won't lose 20 by March 1 but I might. 20 is just a goal, not a requirement - I'll be happy to lose 10 while cheering everyone else on! Has anyone weighed in?

    Hey buddy, FR sent.

    My Cal goal is 1600 but I try and hit 1400 cause I end up going a bit nuts at the weekend (makes sense in my head haha)
    Seems so low a calorie goal.


    Why not lose slower and do it right? You'll prob be more likely to stick with it, and be happy while doing it.

    :)

    Actually it may be cool to vary calories. If you hit close to the make every day, day in and day out, your body becomes accustomed to that. I read somewhere that if your keep your bod guessing (like, 1400 calories three days in a row, then 900 calorie day, then a 1200 day, then a weekend blowout of 1800, etc.) your body likes it better and actually loses slightly faster. It kinda makes sense because that is what non dieting life is like. Some days are soup and salad and an early night, some days are wine with friends and a little pumpkin pie. As long as your weekly calorie count is on track, you're good.

    Of course I come very close to my calorie goals daily. I'm just not a rule breaker, I guess! But I just started, and I can totally see myself hoarding calories over a week or two so I could have big piece of lasagna and lots of creamy dressing on my salad one night. Whatever works!

    Welcome those freshly joining into the group. Way to commit to something!! Even if it is a big goal, lots to chew, if you aim for being 99% on program: get your calorie/macro targets and work on your fitness who knows how much we can drop!! Stay focused, it is only a couple months and should get your head in the game!!
