How much weight have you lost?

Lost 30lbs so far since Aug. 2014 with 80 to go. Cut out all sugar, went low salt and low carbs. Also walking 2.5 miles 3-5 times a week with 15 minutes of Shaun T's Rockin' Body workout.

Same! Down 30 since Aug 2014. Probably stalled the scale when I started lifting a lot, but it will all work out just as I planned! Looking forward to the 1 year mark to see what has transpired.

I'm down 51 using MFP and 61 total since September 2014. I eat at a deficit, restrict carbs, and go to the gym a couple times a week.

Since August 2014

I've lost 43lbs. Since September 2014 and I have roughly 30 to go. I started a C25K in September, loved it, and now I'm training for a 10K. I run 3x a week, strength train 2x a week and cross train 2x a week. I count calories and try to not eat processed foods...I still eat some just not nearly as much as before.

Started at 213lbs and the after I was 183lbs.



I'm now at 170lbs

These stories are so inspiring!!

7.25 kg since December

Around 15 months to lose 243lbs.

That is amazing! Good job

I am always amazed at how this simple little app has helped so many people get healthy and fit. Amazing work everyone!

I finally got fed up in August of 2013 when I could not climb a mountain I had climbed since I was a child. I was facing going back to work as a college professor and having my knees, back and feet start aching again. :noway: That was it for me and I found MFP because calorie counting (with paper and pecil :laugh: ) had always worked great in the 70s when I had my perpetual 10 vanity pounds to lose. Since then, I have lost 101 pounds, eating at the calorie goal MFP has set. Jeans went from US size 22 to US size 4, tops from 2X to M/S depending on cut. Because heart disease runs in my husband's family, we have always watched sodium, sat fats and simple carbs so for me, it was a matter of eating ... you guessed it .. LESS! No special words of wisdom here-sorry.

Since I will never set foot in anything called a "gym" (bad high school memories :laugh:), I started with Leslie Sansone walking videos on YouTube and now own a whole collection of walking, weight training and flexibility videos. I turned 62 in December, so fitness has become more important to me than weight loss. I either walk-run outside or with Leslie almost every day. In the summer, we hike mountains and wallk the hills almost every day. I do have a secret here though. Since most people seem to say the hardest part is "exercising," find something you like and DO IT! People on these boards make fun of indoor walking all the time (I choose to assume they live in the south because walking outside in Michigan and upstate NY in winter is just not safe), but I've lost over 100 pounds doing it-so ignore others and do what you love. After all it is your health not theirs!

Since Halloween 2013



And, here is my story so far: 15 months and 85 pounds

60 lbs since last April. I have finally reached my pre-marriage weight of 165 and I can finally wear my wedding ring, something I couldn't say for about 18 of our 20 years of marriage.

Type two diabetes scared me straight.

Beautiful story.

110 lbs lost since June 2014. Still have 65 lbs to go.

I just started this up again 2 1/2 weeks ago and I've lost 3 lbs lol

I started logging my food on Jan. 8th and so far have lost 8 lbs. I set up to lose 1 lb per week, but when I workout I don't usually eat any of the calories back.
