    GW: 170 +/- will decide when I get closer.

    Tips: This is based on what I done. Not saying it would work for anyone else.
    Log what you currently eat for 1 or 2 weeks. Look at your food intake for that week or two, and decided which mealtime would be the easiest, most effective to change. Work on that mealtime until you get it under control then adjust the next mealtime. For me this was to get dinner under control, then breakfast. Next will be lunch, but truthfully that is more about $$ then calorie control. It may take a while to get all of your food intake under control, but that is OK.
    I set my daily calorie goal based on calorie need for maintenance at my goal weight with a 250 daily calorie deficit at my goal weight. This gives a large weight loss early, then gradual decreases as I approach my goal. It has been working great for 19 weeks, however it will take me over 1.5 yrs. to reach my goal weight, but that is OK, I really am trying for a lifestyle change. I focus on weekly averages for calories, with daily fluctuations.

    I believe in active recreation, and do fitness to benefit or compliment that activity. I do cycling and kayaking for recreation, and strength training to compliment those activities.

    CW: 152 pounds
    GW: Sexy when naked pounds :p I think my goal on here is 130, but as long as I'm under 140 (so I'm out of the overweight BMI) and happy with how I look in a bikini I'm not going to sweat it. I thought I looked better between 135-140 this past summer than I did at 115-120 five years ago because I was actually working out and I was fit as opposed to just skinny.
    My tip would be to not let the little setbacks become big setbacks.

    140 is where i was at before my extreamly rapid weight gain but ive recently been told that my ideal weight is 130. So once I hit my original goal I'll then focus on 130 to bring down my body fat %.

    GW: 145...although I will stop paying the scale too much attention at 160 and just focus on body composition at that point. The scale can do what it will do.

    I'm 23 years old & 5'7". My starting weight was 185lbs. Currently I'm 156. My goal weight is 140-145lbs. I just eat at my calorie deficit & do some cardio & weights during the week.

    Almost this. 5'7" and my starting weight per my scale was 192.6, doctors scale said 197 (I weigh myself naked in the morning, Dr. was after coffee and fully clothed...). I just started so currently down to 189, with a goal of 140-145.

    Starting weight: 225
    Current weight: 217
    Goal: 12% body fat (as of this morning, goal weight is 165).

    I eat 1800 calories +/- a few every day, work out 4 days a week (5 actually, but one day is just stretching and range of motion). Calories burned in exercise don't get replaced. I may change that if I start losing muscle, but that doesn't appear to be the case yet.

    In just over a month, I've lost 8 pounds of fat and gained about 2 pounds of muscle. I'm a little suspicious of the fat loss numbers, but this is what has made it past my mechanisms to deal with daily variation and scale error.

    I'm 5'6 and currently around 185lbs and aiming to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 154lbs. I was a UK size 10/12 (US 6/8). I always look lighter than I actually am. Once I get to 154 I may decide to lose a bit more. I was happy at that weight before though.

    Eat real food. Is that how you want to live the rest of your life?

    Yep. Plus isn't 130 pretty low for 5'9?

    I may or may not stop at 140 depending on how I feel :) It would be great to see 130's, though. My weight loss has been kind of slow, but it's at a steady decline.

    I would like to drop 10 more pounds but I also want to start building muscle so I'm facing a bit of a dilemma. I work out 5 days a week and stay under 1300 calories. I MUST also take my metformin for my PCSO...tried to go off it for a little bit and the weight started coming back on even though nothing in my diet or exercise changed.

    I originally wanted to hit 150 which is what I weighed at 28 and was my lowest adult weight. But it was hard to maintain and I settled at 156-160 for quite a while. If I feel and look okay at a slightly higher weight and my doctor approves at the time, I may settle for higher. I want to be realistic and not work myself into a frenzy over numbers which I can easily do.

    Log. Even if you "mess up", it keeps you accountable. And find something exercise wise you love to do. Good luck!!

    female, 5'8", currently 142, goal is 138ish. so not much to go, but I lost a bunch from last June until now. Tips--lots and lots of veggies--I cut up 3 cups of mixed fresh veggies every night for snacking the next day. Turns out I LOVE raw green beans!! Who knew?!? I try to use a big mix--radishes, cauliflower, broccoli, jicama, cherry tomatoes, peppers. Also--cut out empty calories--junk, pastries, high calorie drinks. That's what worked for me.

    Be honest in your logging and don't beat yourself up if you have a bad day. Own it and move on.[/quote]

    ^ this. Log completely and accurately, even when it hurts

    My tip is Eat what you will eat when your not on a diet just smaller portions. Also make sure you log everything you put into your mouth. And get at least 30 minutes of excersise in a day.

    I'm currently Walking for an jour but also doing the 30 day Squat challenge and 30 day push-up challenge.
