    I'm 11 pounds away from my goal. I'll re-evaluate at that point and I suspect I'll want to drop a little more. Regardless, I'm very excited!

    30 lbs to first goal and 40 to ultimate goal. I've lost and gained for years but feel I owe it to myself to stick with it this time. My overall outlook of life is better when I'm working toward my goal rather than knowing in the back of my mind that I'm settling for less than my best. I find it odd that we give others our best in nearly every area of our lives but are willing to settle with less when it comes to how we treat ourselves;)

    I started around 260 lbs. I am now 189. My first goal was 199 and I hit that about a year ago using mfp. But then I kind of wandered away. Luckily I changed my palate and tho I wasn't logging or tracking I managed to stay between 190-199 for the year. Didn't see 200 again. But scale was definitely creeping up so I caught myself and an back.

    Current goal is 180. That would be my lowest in 20 years.

    I want to be in the "normal" weight zone.. Even at the high end is OK.. Which for me is around 130-140.

    But I will reassess as I go.

    I started at 234 in January 2016. Down to 175 now (5 ft 5 in) and I'm really struggling. 25 lbs to first goal of 150 lbs and normal BMI. 40 lbs to my doctor's goal for me, 135 lbs. I've cut calories and increased exercise until I literally can't do anything more, and I've been stuck right around here for two months. It was so nice in the beginning, losing consistently one to three lbs per week. I've lost three lbs in the last MONTH and I'm beginning to get really frustrated.

    3lbs per month at your current weight is a perfectly good loss. It's exactly what I've lost from around the same weight. You just can't healthily sustain fast losses as you get smaller and the smaller losses are often masked by natural fluctuations. If you're at a standstill for more than 6 weeks then just have a look and make sure you haven't got sloppy with logging. If you're not using a food scale for solids then it might be a good time to start.

    Still 73lbs away from my ultimate goal of 125, but my highest weight was 230lbs. I have lost 32lbs so far, so I'm proud of that.

    Right now I have a mini goal of being 174lbs. At that weight, I will no longer be classified as obese! :smiley:

    19.2kg to go of a total of 50kg to lose. So that's 30.8 kg lost :smile:

    I'm on a break (with a very very very slight downwards tendency) right now due to hormone munchies. But I'm okay with that :smile:

    6 pounds from my checkpoint!

    Whenever I post my weight goals, I've started including my lifetime high. It's encouraging to see how far you've come.
    I also prefer to shoot for frequent, small checkpoint goals. I probably won't even schedule my ultimate goal until I'm within 10 pounds of it.

    LIFETIME HIGH: 293 (38.1 BMI)

    3/7 START: 265 (34.5)
    3/13 (today): 261 (34.0)
    4/1 GOAL: 255 (33.2)
    . . .
    ULTIMATE GOAL: 210 (27 BMI)

    (Yes, I've lost 4 pounds in less than a week. But I just started this most recent campaign; everyone who has lost considerable weight knows that the biggest loss comes in the first couple weeks.)
