    Made it through Christmas, with a two-pound spike that quickly went away... so overall maintained while still enjoying myself, which was the plan! Time for some serious losing now. Goals this week: 1) 1200-1300 calories/day, heavy on protein and veggies. 2) meet with a trainer to design a new, stepped-up fitness routine

    Something else I'm going to try is a log of what works for me and what doesn't work in terms of getting results... so i can start doing more of the former and avoid the latter!

    Wow, just read this thread and motivated to join! In fact, after years on this site, I just created a profile so I could join you.

    @1stplace4health - You've really started and stuck with it. Good luck on getting below 190! Holidays are tough.

    @courtneyfabulous - You've been the most faithful contributor and really encouraging. Love it!

    My goal: Now until May (when I'll be moving), track and monitor food. Establish better eating habits. Get and stay below 200 lbs.

    Last week
    Weight: 127
    Days tracked: 0
    Days within calorie goals: 0

    Today (Thursday)
    Weight: 117.6 (had surgery, details on profile)
    Days tracked: 5
    Days within calorie goals: 5

    @Trawnagal The holidays are tough. Just as long as you keep pushing through them, you'll have success. WTG!

    @jenwil1999 Welcome. You say you want to stay under 200 lbs, but you currently weigh 117 lbs? How much weight are you trying to lose? Welcome to the group.

    Wow, wrote that late last night and didn't even notice the typo (twice!). I'm at 217. I'm not sure my ideal weight, probably should be around 120-130. But I'd be happy enough to hit and stay under 150 for the rest of my life. I'm not setting any long term goals, just going to take it 20 lbs at a time and see how I feel as I get closer.

    Love the motivation! I'm not trying to lose as much as I'm trying to maintain my current and gain mass for my 2018 competitive bodybuilding season. I'd love to connect if you're interested! I'm very active on MFP, just not super active in the community boards (915 days logged today!!)

    Im excited to see what this year brings for you!! :smile:

    Here's my mini-goals for this week:
    1). Log food diary every day... trying to up my protein and complex carbs while staying around 1250 calories
    2). Make my workouts more effective. Starting with a personal trainer on Tuesday!
