Started at 168 first goal is 145. Eating 12 to 1400 a day. I am thrilled with my progress. CICO is the magic bullet!!!
That's motivating. Thank u. Which fitbit do u have? Thinking about getting one too.
I have the zip, I love it, it doesn't do heart rate etc... steps, distance , calories. It is working for me now I am happy with it. It really keeps me motivated.
I may have to get one.0 -

The majority of my adult life was spent at 115 but I doubt I'm getting back there! I also have/use a fitbit but CICO has been the difference maker along with weighing every single thing on a food scale. If I don't meal plan and prep i won't be as successful. I have 4 kids, a set of all boy triplets and a 4th boy, and also work full time as a single mom so my time is precious to me so I do lots of meals in bulk or try to plan multi use items. Like yesterday I grilled a few pounds of chicken that today I portioned out into various lunches and dinners for the upcoming week
Love your story. Thank you, very motivating.0 -

As for me I am about 5' and I started out at 170lbs in January, and I'm down to almost 160 now. Its slow going but I find meal prepping and exercise is key.
You did amazing.0 -

Wow, 15500 steps, amazing. Where do you find the time? I have a desk job and it sucks.0 -
It's actually not that hard -- I get a 30 minute walk in before work for about 4000 steps; I park far away from my office and get away from my desk to talk to people in other departments rather than using phone or email -- that gets me about 2000 more steps. I go for a lunchtime walk for about 40 minutes so I usually have 10,000 steps by the time I get home from work. Then I get a 40-60 minute walk in the evening to get the rest of my steps. I also have this silly Wii game called "walk it out" for when it's raining and I don't want to walk outside.1

That's alot of weight lost, congratulations!0 -
I am 5 ft nothing too
. I started at 165 in November and have slowly crawled my way down to 150. My goal is 125. I have been on and off the weight loss game for the past 4 years, my highest non-pregnant weight was 193.8, so I have come a long way, just really slowly. I just need to buckle down and commit to get the last 25 lbs gone. Aiming to get it done this year! I run and strength train. I switched back from WW and trying something a bit different on MFP this time. I upped my calories to 1400, and am aiming to not always eat back my exercise calories. More in line with the calories goals from IIFYM (adjusting my macros too.) 0 -

Wow you did great. Keep it up.0 -
I started at 172 back in December and have lost 20 lbs to date not to mention a ton of inches. I have gone from a size 10 to a size 6. It has taken me 4 months and a lot of exercise but I feel great! Good Luck! (P.S. I am 5'3")0

I'm 5'3 and weigh on average 178lbs. I really need to lose this weight as I've developed quite a few health issues. It also really complicated my pregnancy at 38.6 weeks that resulted in a seizure and stroke. Finally I have no excuses to try and lose this weight. I'm just not sure how to start. My doctors just say High protein low carb and no salt and exercise. Its definitely not easy. Joined this website a while ago but never really logged on. Now that i really have a reason to lose weight besides to fit in a smaller size, i've decided to log back in and try to stick with it. I also need to lose this weight so i can stick around for my son and husband. I Have a pretty bad habit of eating well and meeting my calorie goals and then working out and eating more because "I earned it"...I think i just need to be a part of a community that can sorta hold be accountable and help motivate me.1

You can do this! What type of help or guidance do you want? Do you have a food scale? That will make your life so much easier and ensure that what you are eating is calculated accurately2 -
