    It is a challenge. You can join by just saying you want to join then put your start weight current weight and goal for the new year and check in every week on weigh in day.

    I delivered mid June by c section. Waited till September to start. Working on portion control and being mindful of.when I am actually hungry and full as well as aim for some form of exercise at least 4 times a week. So far 23 pounds down but have quite a ways to go. I still want to lose 47 pounds 14 of which are pregnancy pounds. You can do it.

    Wow you're weight challenges sound similar to me. I always used to be around 135-140..then before I had my daughter I creeped up to 163..in pregnancy i got to 183..post pregnancy creeped up to 194.

    What are ur thought about what u want to do to lose weight? How old is ur son?

    @JuStDoIt87 I log on here what I've eaten, every day. I try to stay under the calories I'm given by mfp but have occasional days where I go over. I try to walk every day and fit in work out dvds on the rare occasions I have the energy for them. But that's it. No quick fixes, just slow and steady aiming for a pound a week. Good luck!

    2 wks postpartum here. Had her at 180lbs. I'm now down to 160lbs. I'd like to be 135. I've started to exercise already and TRIED to maintain a 2000 cal diet while breastfeeding, but I'm still so used to giving into my cravings.

    I'm in! It's been one month and I'm feeling motivated to look good in a sparkly New Year's eve dress. :) I don't normally weigh myself, just go by what I look and feel good at so I don't know my prepregnancy weight. I was a US size 4 though and sometimes a 2. Jeans were size 27.

    My goal weight for the new year is my old size 4.

    Eventually I'd like to fit size 26 jeans.

    I'll buy a scale though I might only weigh myself every other week. Once a week is too soon. That leads to being all sad that you didn't lose weight when really you did lose fat, but you gained muscle and that's heavier, or you're retaining water, or you're constipated, etc etc...

    I am making today weigh in day. Decided to step on the scale and was down another 1.2 pounds so that is a 2.2 loss this week. I am now 205.6 so 5.6 pounds to goal. I can not wait for Onederland!!

    Down 2lbs! Excited about this. I have been eating 1750 calories a day which is set at 1.5lb lose a week with light activity, my Fitbit steps are attached and I'm doing kickboxing twice a week. I can't wait to weigh in Thursday. I figured a day earlier since I'll cry Friday morning after all that good thanksgiving food if I weight in.

    CW 228.8
    GW for December 31st 217

    This is obviously a stretch but I'm willing to do the work.

    I guess I wasn't the only one who forgot to check in last week. On Saturday I was 204 which was a 1.6 loss that week. So now 4 pounds to goal. Will weigh in on Friday or Saturday again. I have a big staff party this weekend so hoping to have some self control there. I just want to aim for reasonable portion control. Even though it is a buffet I don't need to fill my plate to the brim. I can still enjoy the food I love but in moderate amounts which in the end is more enjoyable than the stuffed sickening feeling!

    Hey everyone! So sorry I haven't been on here the last few weeks. Had a family emergency and then went to a different state for 2 weeks and it's been crazy! Anyways, I'm fully back on track after all that horrible (and very delicious) thanksgiving feast full of calories and goodness!! As of today I'm down to 189.6!! My weigh in day is Saturday and I'm hoping I'll get to 188 or close!! Hope everyone is doing great!
