First update of the challenge for me

CW: 160.9
GW - Easter - 142
GW - Ultimate - 122
Down .8lbs over last week. Part of me wishes for more, but it's going the right way, and I know it will take time. I am also happy that I tracked every day last week except for one, and where improvements can be made. So all is good!0 -
Joining group now. Better late than never

Congratulations to everyone on your first weigh-ins!
I'm trying to lose 30lbs by June, so 20 by the end of March might be do-able.
Height: 5'7"
Age: 30
Original Start Weight (2007-ish): 226
Optimal Goal Weight: 145-150
Starting Weight Janaury 2016: 180.5
Goal for June 2016: 155 or less
I started the Fat Smash Diet (Ian K. Smith, printed 2006) on January 4 and I've already lost 5lbs. The first nine days is "detox" (basically vegetarian, clean-eating, lots of fruits and veggies, etc). Phase II is a 3-week "Foundation" stage...building lean proteins and whole grains in limited quantities, heart-healthy fats, etc. After than is Phase III, a four week "Construction" phase that is based on maintaining the portion control from the previous 4 weeks, based in fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats, but allowed in a few of those indulgences (alcohol, desserts, pastas, etc).
My goal is to be at or near 160 by the end of Phase III (March 3rd!), then start adding in more intense weight training to shape and tone. I don't want to be "skinny" or "thin"...I want to be strong, confident, and feel beautiful. I don't need to be a size 2 or 4 or even 6...I'd be happy being comfortable in an 8!
(My personal super secret goal is that I won't be recognized as American on my France trip this summer
...Oops! Secret no more!)
Good luck, everyone!0 -

I'm going to aim to drop 10 pounds (so reach 140) by Easter. That's a little under a pound a week, which seems right for me. Let's do this!0 -

I'm in too. I'm hoping accountability will help keep me on track. I'm sick of feeling like crud and ready to get healthy. Losing weight these last couple of years feels like it has been an impossible task. I'm 48 going through perimenopause and my body seems to have a mind of its own.
Count me in

My long term goal is 134 but I am working in 20 pound increments! I've lost the weight so far with a reduced calorie diet and daily walking.
Hope others decide to join me and I hope to see lots of goals being met!
Love to do this!!! Have been trying to look at last 20 lbs forever now!!
