Hello, I just joined this group. I am 5'3, 139 and am trying to get back to the 120-125 range. I've gotten down to the low 130's a few times, but for some reason I always wind up sabotaging it. This time, I'm down 10lbs since the start of the year. It's definitely been slow coming off this time. I am religiously weighing my food (to the gram), and got a scale that shows water weight % so I don't freak out every time I gain a pound, even though it's really water weight.
I started C25 last week, so my next run tomorrow will be Week 2, Run 3 Pt 1. I generally run 4 times a week, so I run Day 3 twice. I also go to Title Boxing, and take 3 classes a week. Friday's I double up running and boxing class and Saturdays are my off day.

I'm 20-30 pounds from where I want to be. My GW is 135, and if I feel good losing down to 125 I'm gonna make that a new goal. Basically see where I feel best. I've lost 10.5 pounds total. Trying to get motivated when I should be losing 1lb/wk instead of 2lbs is rough! A lot slower results and if I mess up even a little, I don't lose anything.
Working on it, though. 0 -
It is slow go for me too these days. Life is hectic. You just have to keep plugging away and make good choices.0

Me! I'm about 15 - 20 lbs away... I'm great during the week, but on weekends, I loose it! I'm either out and about with the kids OR I decide to "treat myself" or "relax" with unhealthy foods. I am trying to cut out processed sugars and add in some healthy fats so hopefully I won't feel deprived and need to go crazy on the ice cream on the weekends.0

I am 51 and my doc told me 2 days ago that he wants me to lose 15 pounds. I had already told myself that's what I wanted to do because that is the weight that I felt my best and I've been taking steps to get there. I weigh 149.7 and need to get down to 135. I added the Pacer app to my phone to count my steps in the background automatically for me everyday. I haven't been able to sync it with mfp yet because they are having problems right now. I am working on combining Hailey Pomroy's Fast Metabolism diet (I lost 20 lbs quick and healthy on that diet) with the Tiny and Full diet. Within the past 2 weeks my divorce was finalized. So I'm ready to get busy and make this weight loss happen. I'm pretty sedentary. So I'm going to have to force myself to get with it on the exercise part. At least I've begun counting my steps. My Mom will be coming to visit me in a couple of weeks and she has 70 lbs to lose and wants to get started with me when she gets here. Hopefully we can help each other! Good Luck to you all!1

I am 160.4 right now, aim for right now is to cut to around 140lbs until my daughter is old enough to stay at gym daycare then to get back into lifting and settle probably around 145-150lbs.0

I'm 5'6 and 2 years ago I began a rigid diet and went from 150 down to 110. But I was under a lot of stress and somehow my strict diet of veggies and lean meat started to turn into binge eating late at night by myself. I'm now back to my original weight. I am not obese but I can feel the extra body fat I have and I hate it. For me the Dukan Diet is actually quite effective. I lost over 7lbs in less than a week but Thanksgiving derailed my plans and I haven't had the energy to think about trying again. I know it's not the most well balanced diet but it's a great kickstarter and I really would like to start seeing change in my body.0

Just updating to say that I'm now just 10 lbs away from my goal of 120, yay! Intermittent Fasting is amazing for keeping me full and satisfied on 1200 calories.1

I will update to say that I am now 19 pounds away instead of like 15....Going the wrong direction!

I just joined this group today. I am 51 and woke up about 6 weeks ago and said "enough". I have been active and watching my weight my whole life. If I am not careful I gain easily. I have been logging my weight and activity in excel for over 10 years. Whenever I would gain weight i knew I would lose it easily when i put my mind to it. Well once I hit 50 that just wasnt true. I had crept up to 150 lbs by my 50th birthday and right after started logging meals and watching what i eat but nothing happened. For the last year I was very discouraged and put on another 10 lbs. On March 7th I decided that even if I could only lose half a pound a week and it took me a year I was going to get back to 135 lbs. Today I am back to 150! A healthy 1.5 lbs a week and setting up new habits. I am so proud of myself. Back in the day I could lose 10 lbs in 3 weeks but my body and metabolism has changed. Once I accepted that and accepted my age I was able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. So to those who use to find it easy and all of a sudden just can't do it I urge you to accept the changes that age brings and find new habits and goal setting ideas that are realistic so that you dont get discouraged. Slow and steady always wins right !!0

5'4 and currently weight 145 with quite a bit of muscle. Just need to get rid of the fat covering it

5'5" and 138 (started the year at 162.4, my heaviest ever). Currently aiming for 120. May reevaluate once I get there. (I am small-boned so lower weights usually look more natural on me.) April was a bit of a struggle; family in town meant a lot of restaurant eating. Even though I kept under my calorie goals and exercised, all that sodium made me retain water and the weight on the scale didn't drop. But now I am moving in the right direction again. But it feels good to have only 18 pounds to go. Seems like such a much smaller number than 42.4.0

Just started on MFP again, 18 lbs away from my goal.
Feel free to add me 0 -
