    I have been doing good tracking my food every day for over 100 days, but I didn't weigh myself for a month and I found out today I gained 10 pounds! I want to lose 20 by New Years as well to get down to 220 lbs. I want to join in this effort and need the support of you all because I have been struggling with stress and eating too much sugar.

    Welcome to the group, sugar is deffo my struggle too especially when I am stressed so I know how you feel

    I'm in! Started at 209 and now I'm at 194. I would like to get to 135 or back to my prepregnancy size (size 6). I'm short so 135 is a healthy weight when I'm not lifting.
    So my goal weight for New Years will be 175.

    I feel horrible! I went off track and now Im not even sure I can make it to 166 by New Years. Right now I'm at 182lbs. I felt so committed to doing this. Don't you hate it when you self-sabotage.

    Hi Everyone! Hope the candy wasn't too much of a temptation. I had some, but didn't go overboard.

    Sw: 202 10 days ago
    Gw: 182

    I'm currently at 198.6

    Not a dramatic loss, but I"ll take it.
    Goal this week: 197.6 by Sun.

    8.5 weeks to go! That's 2 pounds a week. I got this! Consider it done.

    How is everyone else doing?

    September 6th - 175#
    Yesterday October 28- 164.6#
    I have new scales which I think weight correctly at about 6# more than the old sticky ones..... But I will take a 10.4# loss in 6.5 weeks! :)

    Okay. Weighing this morning. 164.4 today. Just over 9 pounds to go for this challenge. At thus rate I will need the 61 days to lose that!

    I am putting in much more walking the past two weeks, and have begun circuit training and my teeny arm muscles are a tad less teeny..... Lol. Must buy a tape measure to see if everything is shrinking.... Left the tape measure behind in my summer home!

    Hi guys! I'd love to join! I am starting at 147 lbs (but I'm very short) and although 20 lbs sounds impossible to me doing it by myself, hopefully I can make it - or even half of it, with you guys' support. :)
    This is the first post I'm commenting on on MFP, I'm very new around here. I'm not sure how it works...do we update our weight every Sunday?
    Good luck everyone, I hope you all succeed! :)

    Starting at 172.4 this morning. My goal this week is to commit to MFP logging everyday and staying within calories.
