in Health and Weight Loss
Thats my hope for this year . I am hoping to log in more regularly and am really bad at weighing the food . So I know the two changes I must make.
Wish everyone all the best .

starting weight =134 lbs
hoping to be 122 lbs by dec 2017 ( this was how much I weighed when I was 22yrs old )

    I am weighing in the same and want to get to 120. I believe a slow and steady weight loss is better for my body and improves the chance of successfully keeping the weight off.

    Loving this goal! What a healthy approach...you can do this!
    I've been working on 100 lbs since 2013. I've lost 80 of it, have 20 to go. Not at all upset that I've done it slowly because it's kept me from going nuts.

    That would be a great achievement. I was 78.8 kg in july 2014. I'm now between 67.5 and 68.5. Final goal is 66 kg, so i'm very close to goal and that takes oodles of time.

    Eye ball portions instead of weighing the food up, I study about eye balling portion up and mastering the key is the best way to do more accurate logging :)

    You said your goal was 122, the weight you were when you were 22 years old. How tall are you? How old are you now? It could be that 122 is not a practical goal for you any more and you'd be better served by focusing on a body recomp if you're unhappy with how you look, and less on the scale.
