    I have lost 20 pounds so far & would like to lose 8-15 more. I currently weigh 139 pounds, and have not been able to get below 132 since I hit my 30s (I am now in my 40s - 42 to be exact!) I have added weight training 3X a week in the past month, and I would love to get down into the 120s - which I haven't seen since my 20s lol! Feel free to add me!

    Hi, I have about 11lb left to lose and would love to be added into your group. Think the more support we all have the better, we can do this! Thanks

    The same things are working for me that worked when I lost the first 45 lbs (the other 10 shown on my ticker was before I restarted0. I workout six days a week and eat back my exercise calories. I did get a food scale for Christmas but before I just estimated and it did work fine. The weeks I do not lose my one pound in a week are usually because I ate more than MFP's deficit. When I hit 125 I am moving it to a 0.5 lb loss per week. I totally agree with slow and steady and if I have a bad week, I really do not beat myself up about it. I really feel like I will get to my goal and that this is a life time thing so I am okay with some small delays.

    I joined MFP for the very reason to get rid of the last 10. The older I get the tougher it is. I have found that running a lot doesn't help if you still keep eating a lot.
    I haven't actually counted calories before and didn't realize how much I was eating. Now I am planning to be able to stay at a happy weight for good.

    I'm not a runner, but when I strength train, I literally cannot get enough food. I'd knock over my grandmother to get to the fridge.

    My decision yesterday to drop my goal to .5/lb. per week seems to have worked well for me today. I'm not hungry tonight even though I didn't eat the full additional allotment of calories. Just knowing that I have more calories available if hunger strikes is helpful!

    That is good! Are you planning on increasing slowly or eating back the new goal every day? Even though I have not officially dropped down to 0.5 a week I will be closer to it this week with enjoying the holiday. I look forward to offically having an extra 250 soon though.

    I've got roughly ten more pounds to go too! I'm 4'10 and 122 right now. I'm down 20 pounds from last January, but still want to be down to at least 112!

    Hi Kris - At this point, I'm going to be flexible. I know that if I eat fewer calories, I'll lose more quickly. Therefore, if I don't find myself too hungry at night, I'll eat less than my new, higher target. If I am hungry, I'll eat up to my new higher allotment. I'm hoping this will curb the late night snacking that I was doing because I was truly hungry.
