    Thankfully, weigh in this week proved that last week was an anomaly, for whatever reason - probably due to new years fun. Back on track this week and feeling good!

    Coming off a stomach bug so the loss probably looks better than what it actually will be when I start eating again.

    Yay! Check in day and I finally dropped! I can start to see the changes (day #22 for me) around my hips and legs :) Last week's weigh was a bummer as I stayed at the same number, but today was 1.5 lbs lower (137.5 vs 136). My Jan goal of 133 will take some hard work! Good luck ladies!

    I've had a chest infection and I'm dealing with pulled muscles in my back/front because of it. Very sad times. I can't wait to get back to my fitness regime next week and smash it.

    Hi all,

    As a previous poster said: when you're losing that last bit of weight, even 3, 5 or 7pounds is a lot and really difficult to shed. Would anyone like to join me in trying to lose 5 pounds (or your own goal) by January 31st? January 31st is almost exactly 6 weeks from today - I am aiming high even though losing .6 to .8 lbs a week is hard for me at this point. If interested, just join this thread and I will be checking in every Monday.

    MFP SW: 150+

    As long as the scale is moving in the right direction, I'm happy. 160 in two weeks is totally achievable!

    My goal set the beginning of January was to go from 155 to 145. Halfway through, I'm not quite halfway there (151). I guess 10lb in a month was pretty ambitious, but I'm still trying. Goal is 135 by end of May. I'm 53, but that's not really an excuse, right?!

    Ugh, thought I'd check in, but my fiance broke his scale and then put mine in a sealed box for when we move house in 3 months. I have NO idea what I currently weigh rofl. I've been such a good girl though...

    Weigh in day for me, down 1 lbs since last week :) This is 4 lbs in 4 weeks since I restarted! My January goal is still 2 lbs away which might/might not happen...I will keep running and logging and making good choices when eating. Good luck everyone!
