    Started at 215, currently around 163. Goal is somewhere around 140-150. I don't have a hard and fast number in mind but have definitely been in a slump with this last little bit. Feel free to add if you would like

    Back at home, with no cookies or candy in the house. I have one more after-work drinks thing I have to do on Wed, plus a NY's Eve toast, and then I can put alcohol behind me for a bit, too.

    I have not logged consistently for a week. That's the challenge that I am issuing to myself. Log faithfully, keep track of the over/under calories, and see how I do for the next 7 days.

    So much junk in the house but that's life. Back to logging every day, and abstaining from the sugary stuff. Making a cauliflower au gratin to use up some cheeses and a lentil soup with left over Christmas ham for dinner- odd pairing but I hate when healthy stuff gets tossed. My goals through Friday; log everything, stay under 1400, gym next 4 days.

    Same here. I've lost 100 lbs and on the last 15. I weight 190, I want to be 175. Going to the gym a lot and very active outside, but it has slowed down a little bit. Would love to have some fitness friends that are on the same leg of my journey.

    Me too! I've lost 70 and have been maintaining since September, but I'd like to drop 10-15 by early summer. I'll be sticking to 1700 to get there, plus dialing back a cardio to 3x per week and increasing lifting.

    Down 87 lbs from 265lbs in 166 days still got that last 10-15 lbs to go. Wouldn't mind some friends with similar goals. I haven't had a cheat meal and my weight loss has not stalled I have just moved to 1 lb a week from more aggressive early loss.

    I also have 10 pounds to go, and I'm having a hard time. I need motivation so I won't fall back into any bad habits and gain it all back. Feel free to add me.

    Same here! I just added a bunch of u as friends. Currently, don't have any on here.

    I feel like my body has hit a set weight, and hopefully will eventually release some lbs.

    I found some info on here about eating at maintenance for a week or 2, and then going back to a deficit. Anyone try this?

    Side note: I'm still nursing, so I'm worried about going too low. Hoping once we stop they may kickstart my body to drop some weight.

    Good luck all!

    I'm curious about your comment on cardio and lifting. Do you lose more if you lift, or are you using weights to tone? Or both?

    Agreed. Me, too. Although some days it is easier to get on the scale than others!

    Happy to have found this thread. I have 10 more to reach a mini- goal weight. I started in spring 2016 went from 175 and set 10 lb mini-goals. Hit 148 at my goal date of Sept 2016. Have been sitting there going from 148 up as much as 155 and back. Current 151. I was waiting until the New Years to be finished with the holidays to buckle down and start losing again. I will be adding some friends, please feel free to add me as well.

    I hit my goal, which was to track calories and weigh in for 7 days. Happy to report that the scale is lighter.

    I hit my calories goals on Mon, Tues, and Sun. Wed - Sat were over, by as little as 3 on Friday, but as much as 364 on Thursday. Not good.

    Goals for this week:
    1. Hit my calories goals for 5 of 7 days.
    2. Do some type of cardio every day.

    I saw your name on a thread and it struck me that I haven't swam in a pool in almost 2 years! Thanks for making me realize that. I'm going to pull up USMS and see if there's a pool near me with a morning masters swim.
