    Hey everyone!!!

    So, I'm 9.5lbs down in 3 weeks and heading in the right direction. So just over 5 weeks to drop 10.5lbs....doable, I think.

    Keep it up everyone!!!

    I'm hoping on board this train. I'm down 7lbs so far this year. 20 lbs would be incredible microgoal. Lowest adult weight I hit was 284. I'm currently 297 so 20lbs would put me lower than my previous low. I'm 6'8" and want to get down to 225.

    Would love to add some friends along the journey so if your looking for a friend to help cheer, please feel free to add me.

    Hi I would like to give this a try - Just joined my fitness pal 3 days ago - My daily cal goal is 2000 - I'm very overweight - can anyone tell me if 2000 is too much ? Or shall I go down to 1200 and use exercise to bump it up ?

    My calorie intake is suppose to be 2,000. I lowered mine to 1,950 and I'm gonna try and come in at 1,850 a day. That extra 100 cals accounts for any underestimation I might have made in the food I eat throught the day.

    Hi Kasby,

    Your calorie goal can be very different from others depending on your height, weight, age, and activity level. Since I input my activity based on an activity tracker I always use the sedentary activity factor to get a more accurate calorie goal. If you are planning on inputting workouts I would use sedentary as activity level to get a more accurate calorie goal.

    I had a hiccup. MY scale broke so I had to buy a new one. I had to reset my MFP to match my weight on the new scale. It sais I am heavier by 5 pounds! I know I still lost that five pounds but its messing with me mentally. I do see very big changes in my body already tho! Mt trainer is going to do my measurements for me next week, at the 4 week mark. The true results will show then :) So, I most likely will not make 20 but I will still try my hardest everyday! :)

    Hi All!!!

    How's everyone doing? My weight loss has slowed a little but it's still coming off. I'm 12lbs down since Jan 1st so hoping to lose a steady 2lbs per week in Feb to hit the 20lbs off by 1st March.

    Good Luck everyone!!!!

    Hey I'm in too! I'm 5'3 and my GW is around 110-115 lbs. CW is 134

    I need to lose 20 lbs but I think it'll be too unhealthy for me to lose 20 lbs in a month. So I'm gonna try 10 lbs. I have already lost quite a bit around 11lbs since last November. I'm gonna post my progress pic here..

    This was me December 2014 when I was around 140 lbs

    After a month and a half of clean eating and exercising I'm at 134.

    January came to an end and I am down a little over 10lbs. 7 1/2 of that since we started the challenge. Tomorrow is weigh in day for me but thought I would post my 1st month. Lets see what we can accomplish in February.
