    Weigh in Friday! I am the same weight today as yesterday, but I was down .2 lbs Wednesday and .6lbs Thursday. So down a total of 4 lbs. I wish it was coming off faster but I'll take it!
    Y'all have a great day!

    Weekly weigh in! I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I hopped on the scale to read 177.6. I will however round it up to 178 and claim my 2 pound weight loss! Next week my goal is 176. :smile:

    Friday weigh in! I was thinking my weight had stalled because I haven't dropped any this really the last few days however the weight I'd been looking at is 176. So I did get my two pound weight loss. Two days ago I was 175.2, but it probably doesn't count because I hadn't been drinking enough water. I fit a few workouts in earlier this week but my 7 week old has had some horrible sleep patterns here lately. I will hopefully fit a few more in the coming week. I need to keep my water up as well. I have also been pretty consistent with calorie counting and my macros are averaging out well too. Next week's goal is 174. :smile:

    Hi, everyone. I'm new to the community. I'm 5'4 and 150 pounds. Because my emotional issues, I started binge eating and gained 40 pounds in 2 months. It really affected my normal life and my study. I wish I can find someone who has familiar experience want to change. My goal is to get rid of this life and try to lose 30 pounds in 40 days. This my challenge and I hope someone can join me. If you are interested, please add me as a friend. Hope we can change ourselves from now.

    I plan to drink lots of water, reduce my carbs, eat more fruit, veggies and protein. I plan to walk daily and to do Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds and some Tae Bo- both on Utube

    I love her YouTube videos! When I can't go outside and walk, her 3 mile walking videos are a lifesaver!

    Looks like I've been losing 1.3 lbs a week and so far I've lost around 11 lbs. Maybe by December I'll lose another 13 lbs if I keep on track, and that will make my total weight loss in December, 25 lbs. That's good for me :smiley:

    May I join in? After dropping 50lbs 2 years ago, I've been allowing my weight to slowly creep back up on me. Ugh, calories are such sneeky things!) When I hit 249.8, I decided that I was at my own personal precipice and would endeavor not to ever cross the 250 threshold.
    If you're doing the 30lb by end of year challenge, feel free to add me. I'm not good at logging what I eat, however, let us enjoy sharing laughs and support for one another as we face this challenge.

    My goal is 30 lbs by December 31
    6'2 height
    SW 249.8
    CW 242.2
    GW 219.8 ( this isn't my ultimate goal, just target by the end of year)

    I think we all get to a weight and get stuck there for a while, at last time was me last time I tried to loose weight. So I gave up, also last time I didn't have friends in MFP and that has help me tremendously!! Plz don't give up! We can ALL do this! Stay positive! I walk like crazy, and I haven't been working out in the mornings, so I've been putting in music while I cook or clean around the house. That way I won't sleep on a workout for he day. Plz don't give up, you have come a long way.

    So I started following a ketogenic diet on Saturday and things are going much better. Back in 2008 I lost 80 lbs on the Atkins diet. I guess my body hates carbs. The scale is finally moving in the right direction.

    I don't follow ketogenic, but low carb/moderate protein and fat. My body loves to hold on to carbs too!

    I'm trying to lose 15-20 by then too!! I have to wait a week to see how much I need to lose though since my actual weight is masked by lots of water... When i figure out how much I really weigh I would love to join you! It might only be 10-15... have to wait and see... just dropped 5 lbs in water at the gym in one go... ugh.
