I am going to start building muscle as soon as my body fat percentage is lower so I will probably go back up in weight.

I did the same thing first time around and lost 25lbs and started to build muscle and the scale went up. That was years ago and didn't realize then that muscle weighs more than fat, so now I do both strength training and cardio every week.

yeah I do strength training and lift weights now. I want to gain muscle but also want my body fat down. I lost the majority of my weight with diet only so I lost a lot of my muscle too

I use the number on the scale as motivation, and it is certainly a factor, but my real motivation is looking and feeling better. Well, that and the Armani suit I promised myself when I get my waist back down to a 32 (and keep it there for a month or so)!

Lbs to go 21

I'm not dead set on any number, it all depends on how I look. As it stands right now I'm not sure 20 more pounds is gonna be enough as I still have a very large stomach, but maybe now that I have lost almost all the fat from my chest and above (arms, shoulders, upper back, face) I will start losing the belly a little quicker.

I gained tons of weight after my second soon was born thanks to a few issues that I've since seen drs to get fixed. Considering my younger son is now 10 years old, it's about time this stuff got fixed and weight started coming off (well, I've been on mfp for 5 years, but only consistently logging in for over a year now and lost all my old info a couple years ago). It's been a long rough trip that didn't really start working until my drs fixed me. Talk about frustrating, but it's true what they say, cico works and is much easier to use once you get any pesky medical crap out of the way, lol! Down to these last 20 some pounds and i think that's why i have been lazy (sick too, but unmotivated is the worst). I honestly never thought I'd get this far, and i thought nothing of it even after the drs did stuff because i thought this would be just any other time i tried to do this before...but this time, it worked. So I'll keep on keeping on, and having said that...

Thank you to the folks that wrote positively to me, thank you! This is a rough and hard journey for me. But one that I won't give up on doing.

You can do it! I swear it's the getting started that's the rough part, especially if you're coming from a point of very little knowledge in terms of cico, like i was. I knew what to eat for good nutrition and health, my registered dietician told me what to do to get in the realm of exercise because i was so out of shape...but i didn't put together calories in vs calories out until i downloaded this app. The mental part can be rough and scary, but support goes a long way.

I'm 5'7" and currently 130 lbs. I started at 170. My original goal was to get back down to 120 but my weight loss had slowed since I started working on muscle. So, I have adopted a "weight and see" attitude. As long as I am happy with the way things are progressing I'm not going to worry (too much) about a number on the scale.

Those 26 pounds are going baby! Watch this space.

If anyone has similar stats, please add me. I love the motivation of watching others achieve.

What I am doing:
- CICO consistent logging but also 5:2
- Slowly getting active again despite knee injury; walking 20-25 mins to and from work every day
- Starting the Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide
- Drinking 4 litres of water every day
- Working hard on my emotional eating
- Following inspirational people on Instagram
- Listening to my body: the aches, the pains, the hunger and the positive & negative responses to certain foods

I just want to get rid of the jiggly bits and feel more confident and healthy. Currently suffering from a knee injury and waiting on a diagnosis to be able to start running and working out again.

23lbs till "goal", but I really have no idea, just a nice round number. I've lost 72 since my highest weight (holy crap is that right? I've never calculated that!) but that feels like a fake accomplishment, since that was many years ago and about 40-50 of that came off just from my life taking me in a better direction. I've lost 18lbs since May 21st, which is when i've actually been paying attention to mfp and logging every day.
