    I stared at about 180 pounds. The first month I was in the red everyday. I was complaining that this thing did not work. How could I be in the red when I was still hungry? The second month I had more green days than red. In 9 months I lost 40 pounds. I continued down to 122. I still use this app to monitor myself. I tend to bounce between 125 - 135. (Christmas this year killed me. I popped up over 140.). Anyway, I have maintained, by using this app, for over 2 years. (I definitely don't want to creep back up toward 200.) It works - just keep at it.

    Hello! Yes we can do this...I just got started around the first. Down 6.5 lbs & I owe it all to this site. It gives me motivation and I really like knowing I'm not alone in this struggle. Welcome.

    As we all have the same goal in mind-what are some of your breakfast ideas? I'm not a fan of yogurt!

    My goals are similar. I gained my "marriage 50" and need to drop it. I had just stopped paying attention to it and went up to 171. My target weight "super goal" is 122 (because I'm 5'3"), but my real goal is 131. Support will help me with my goal too. Let's do this!

    Breakfast ideas,huh...big challenge! The egg option is easiest for me. Cutting fat & gaining protein is my challenge. Trying turkey sausage & Canadian bacon to cut fat...also found an Apple quinoa that I'm liking. Think I'll mix it up with dried cranberries & nuts or berries. The whole grain bread thins are good too.
    Can't believe how much eating a good breakfast has kept me on track...

    hey folks, I,ve returned in November after some time away due to ill health and I'm 11lbs down. I'm changing my eating and have started going to the gym twice a week too - so please add me if you like! I'm hoping to lose an average of 5lbs per month so its slow and steady and long lasting - good luck with your goals everyone!

    I need to lose 60. I'm at 210. My challenge is that I have an injured shoulder and neck from an accident. It's hard when there are some things I simply can't do as far as exercise. Aggravating the area causes migraines. Anyway, I need a lot of encouragement to mentally not let it get me down.

    Hey All,
    I would love to join all of you! I'm at about 211 and ultimately would like to be around 160! I've set my initial goal for 180, then hope that will be motivation enough to go the rest of the way!
    I could really use a lot of push and someone to hold me accountable!
    We can do it!! :smile:

    Hey everyone!
    I'm in the same boat :-) Started on the 18th with a weight of 246 (height 5.4) . After 4 days of healthy eating I'm down to 243.8. My goal is to lose about 3 pounds a week which I think is doable. My overall goal is to reach 154.
    I would love to add some friends and help each other reach our goals!
