When did you start your weight loss journey? Have you had any successes yet?

I began January 1st. I just succeeded in a 10 lb. loss. My first successes were giving up pop, then it was faithfully entering my food intake everyday for a week. Now I hope to workout 5 days a week for 30 minutes. I can't wait to hear what you all have accomplished.

    I began 5 months ago and have lost 50 pounds!! I still have about 75 left to go but I know I will be there by the end of the year. I do exercise 5 days a week and have been very stringent with my food. Feel like a million bucks$$

    I started my journey in 2012 and to date (with health set backs) I have lost a total of 80 lbs. I still have at least 60 lbs to go. :)

    I (re)started my journey today! I'm looking to lose 120 lbs- my starting weight this time is 280. I'm hoping that by being more active on here, I'll stick with this!

    I started with MFP in 2011, lost 50 lbs, got distracted & gained 70 back. I'm starting over again. I can't "diet" this time! I have to change!

    thats awesome!! I am trying to lose 90 punds but aiming to have 50 gone by July. Can I ask what kinda workouts you did and what types of food you ate?
    i am new again to MFP. Looking for good advise on how to drop the weight, food is my biggest problem. I can workout and I love it. Just the rest of the day is hard, i have been on a 1200 calorie daily goal from MFP. I didnt realize how much I was overeating until I started entering my food. Its so hard to not give in to the bad foods.

    I (re)started yesterday. Up to 250 and my weight loss goal is 100 to get me back to 150. My future sister in law would like me to wear to her wedding a dress I wore 2 years ago as a bridesmaid, which is going to require losing 60-70 in 6 months (I can wear any red dress I want if I don't make it, but it's a nice high-challenge goal).

    I started on mfp this week, I started really committing to lose the lbs almost a month ago, I've quit drinking alcohol, stopped eating after 6 pm, started walking 3 days a week, and I will weigh in on Tuesday to see how much I've lost, so far when I weighed in this Tuesday I had lost 4 lbs and that was without mfp. Now that I'm using mfp I measure everything I eat and I watch what I eat. Excited for this journey.

    I started in October 2010 I was 500 lbs. I have been working hard at reforming my life and starting a new relationship. As of the end of this month (October 2015) I just weighed in at 289 lbs. I am still working on losing weight. It is a long road, often a hard one. I have been caffine free for one month and that has been very hard. I have to be at work at 4:45 AM Monday through Friday. I have had another child during this weight loss as well. She is now 4 years old. I still don't feel like I am myself yet. I eat right, except when I am sick. I work out at a Gym 4 days a week. Today I rode a bike for 4.87 miles. I haven't been able to do that since I was 17 years old. I have high blood pressure and take medication for it. I want to be off the medication.
