Starting weight: 282lbs (03 April 2017)
Goal weight: 180 lbs (To fit into the "Normal" BMI for my height)
100 lb loss target date: April 1 2018
Goal weight target date: April 1 2018
Goal loss rate: 2 lb per week
Current weight: 275lbs
Next milestone: 230 lbs by 25 Sept 2017
Total loss: 7 lbs
What's going well:
I track everything (my first time counting calories)
I have started counting steps with a goal of 10k/day
I have found foods that are not calorie dense which help me stay under my calorie goal without starving
What's going poorly:
I have been getting the late night munchies, so I have been trying to pre-log a late night snack to ensure that I do not go over4 -
My Starting Weight: 267.4
My goal: 169.0
Next Milestone: 262.4
New Milestone: 257
Current Weight: 265.2

SW: 325lbs
CW: 282.6lbs
GW: Initially 180lbs and then I'll decide from there how much lower I might want to go.
Loss Last Week: -2.5lbs
Total Loss - 42.4lbs - WOOHOO, I made 40lb lost (and change!)
Short term goal: Aiming for 280lbs by the end of April
What's Working:
As usual..tracking, tracking, tracking. A couple of times I've caught myself thinking "Oh, it's a bite, no need to track" - that's a slippery slope so I tracked it immediately.
My exercise has been awesome this week. I've been following the HASfit.com 30 day beginner program and it's kicking my *kitten*! In a really good way.
What's Not:
Still that water drinking. It's getting better but there's so much room for improvement. When I'm home I have no troubles but when I'm out and about I just seem to forget to hydrate - then I feel it the next day!5 -

GW: 14 st 7lb (big goal - lose 10 stones!)
Next small goal : below 23 st by end of April.
Loss this week : -5lbs

What's working : staying within calorie limit every day and mindfully moving about a bit more, pushing about the double buggy more than usual this week, definitely feeling it in my legs. NSV - jeans getting a bit looser now.
What could be better: (occasionally) feel a bit hungry (hungry!) in the evening if I've used up a lot of my allowance to have a bigger breakfast /lunch and not been left much dinner wiggle room.

03/20 - 262.6 SW
04/17 - 253.0 CW
1 week loss = .4 lb
Total loss = 9.6 lbs
Eventual Goal - size 6US
This week's successes: I am trucking along but nothing specific from the last week stands out.
Last week's challenges: I think this is getting harder rather than easier. I wasn't hungry until this past week. I wonder if it is PMS though.
Upcoming challenge: I also have a mini-challenge with a MFP friend here to weigh ourselves for a month and instead will take measurements before and after. I don't do measurements but I have a never worn pair of jeans I shoved myself into and I'll try them again in a month. That way assuming they actually fit, the scale will be proven to be irrelevant. I'm glad I'm doing this because my scale went weird this morning. It's fairly new and supposed to be pretty reliable as far as consistency but it was all over the place today. I just took the one that I got the most often and it was the most in the middle number. I also moved it to another bathroom so I won't see it every morning in my own.2 -

CW: 222.8 - 4/14/17 - weigh in again tomorrow
GW: 130
1st Goal: 205 by August 9.
What's working: Logging everything. Slimfast for breakfast and protien bar for lunch. I love that I have lots of flavor options, but it takes all the work out of it.
What's not working: Haven't been to the gym in months. I keep saying "tomorrow".
Goals for this week: 60+ oz of water a day. I'd like to hit 90+. And get back in the gym.1 -

I am at a stand sill!! No Loss in three weeks, no gain either, but I have had problems. I thought I was doing well, but then I look over my diary and find that I am getting lax. Also, I am not drinking enough water.2 -
Hello everyone!!!
SW :310 (2/10/2017)
GW: 175
CW: 290.2(4/19/17)
YES!!!!!!!!!!! I am freaking thrilled!!!!!!!!!
What is working:
*tracking everything that I eat
*working out every day - I do this because I want to, even if it is something small I make sure to get it done.
What is not working:
*I give in really easy to certain foods or emotional eating. I have been trying to emotionally eat healthy foods but that is a work in progress.
* not eating at regular times is killing me because then I start to veer towards the other things.
*my husband and my mother make things incredibly difficult for me. I kind of just want to run away from them all.
All in all I am thrilled with my progress. I feel the results in being able to breathe better, better mobility and my work slacks not staying on when I walk down the hallway.5 -

Overall Goal Lose 108 lbs. 35 down 73 to go
Recent NSV - Finally someone noticed I am losing weight and asked.
What is working:
Staying on track with exercise
Keeping calories at 1890/day or less during the week - i recently upped my food from 1700 to 1890 per day based on recommendation from a friend...I get alot of exercise in and was not eating enough.
NO BEER M-T (non weekends)
Motivation from friends on MFP!
Water Water Water Water
What isn't working:
Easter 4 day weekend!4 -
SW: 325lbs
CW: 279.8lbs
GW: Initially 180lbs and then I'll decide from there how much lower I might want to go.
Loss Last Week: -2.8lbs
Total Loss - 45.2lbs
Short term goal: Aiming for 280lbs by the end of April - made it!! I'm going to carry on with aiming for 10lb increments so new goal is 270lbs by the end of May.
What's Working:
Right now - pretty much everything. I'm still doing awesome with tracking my food. My exercise is going well - nearing the end of the 30 Day HASfit beginner program and can already feel muscles where I couldn't before, I've also been doing their 30 day abs challenge with my husband - it's nice to be able to share that with him. Even my water drinking has been great.
It's been a bit of a funny week for me. Easter Sunday my boy woke up covered in Chicken Pox so we've been stuck in the house all week until he is no longer contagious. I was worried that with my daily activity being a lot lower (I routinely get 10-14,000 steps a day!) and being stuck in near the food cupboard all day that I might struggle with eating and the scale this week but I managed to not binge eat out of boredom which is a HUGE accomplishment for me.5 -

Goals for this week: Get back in the gym.

My Starting Weight: ~375 lbs (01/01/2017)
My goal: 300 lbs by end of summer
Previous Milestone: 330 lbs - this is under 10% of my starting weight - achieved right after Easter!
New Milestone: 325 lbs - again, not much lower, and I hope I'd have it by the Middle of May, but it's a big number to me and would be the 50 lb mark
Current Weight: 328.2 lbs, 04/20
Total loss: -47 lbs; -3 inches from waist & hips
What's working: I'm sticking with my calorie count pretty decently, though I've been straying a little over more often lately.
What's not working: the macros are still not working for me - I just can't seem to get enough protein in a day and still stay under my calorie limit! I've also been feeling really tired lately and having trouble sleeping enough and resting while I'm sleeping. I started to try to get some walking in a day, but was off this week because I injured myself; I hope I can start back up soon.0 -

My Starting Weight: 354 lbs (April 16th, 2017 )
My Ultimate Goal Weight: 170 lbs
My goal date for loosing 100 lbs is by April 16th, 2018
I'm targeting 2.0 - 2.5 lbs per week
Current Weight: 344 lbs, April 23rd, 2017
Total loss: -10 lbs
What's working for me and what's not:
Working: Logging my food intake is working very easy for me. It's not only keeping me on track, it's making me aware of what my choices are - good and bad!
Not Working: Exercise is a bit of a challenge for me. Being so out of shape and in pain, it actually causes me too be out of breath and to have additional aches and pains. It's also often difficult to find time - if I don't literally schedule it in my calendar, I could easily forget it or just put it off another day. Another challenge for me is I travel for work. Often it's difficult to find good low-calorie, flavorful meals that I don't get bored with, as well as as much as I travel, it's easy for me to say I am too tired to exercise. These are issues I am working on changing within my lifestyle right now.1 -

SW : 24 st 7lb
CW : 23 st 0lbs
GW: 14 st 7lb (big goal - lose 10 stones!)
Next small goal : below 23 st by end of April.
Loss this week : -1lb
Total loss since SW: -21lbs
What's working : staying within cals and this week was under by more than previous weeks, but a small loss this week.
Could be better: think I'll try and up my water intake this week and up my finer. Have been feeling tired, achey and sluggish. My youngest has been up more through the night this week for feeding so I think i am more tired, but I can't really get more sleep than I do because of him.
Feeling quite disappointed as I was hoping to meet my mini goal, and my next weigh in will be the 1st May. Maybe I could weigh in on the 31st instead and try to meet the goal.

PW - 264.4
CW - 260.2
MiniGW - 254.4 by 5/13
4.2 lb weight loss this week!!
What is working: Tracking every single bite, lick, and sniff (ok not sniff but it feels like it). I have been tracking obsessed for the last 3 days. Cut out all soda (I was drinking diet but still its all gone now). I have a low fitbit goal but I have pushed myself to meet it every single day. I also cut back on carbs - a lot. I have had only two small bread rolls since I got hyper-focused. No fruit. No potatoes/rice/pasta.
What is not working - I was very off track Monday-Thursday. Probably not as off track as I was before I started. I actually went back and tracked the crazy days as much as I could but they were not pretty.
I am super excited for the progress I was able to scrape together this week. I am sure the weight loss will slow down in a few weeks but right now I am moving full steam ahead.3 -

I buckled down last week and tracked every single bite. Got in a little more exercise than the previous week and upped my water/tea intake.
Not working: evening out my macros. I still can't get enough protein without throwing my Carbs/fats out of whack.0 -

GW: 154.4 -March 6, 2018
Loss last week: -1.8
Short term goals:
-214.4 by July 11th (my youngest's first birthday)
-under 200 by end of summer (then I get tattoos!)
What's working:
Logging everything. Finding excercises I love. Getting in the gym 6 times a week.
What's not working:
Still trying to figure out what my daily calories should be. I'm always super hungry so I don't want to deprive myself but I don't want to go overboard. I'm on my feet all day, workout regularly and am still breastfeeding. I feeling like I keep adjusting my goals. Because of all that I feel like I need a little extra. Haven't found a way to set a target and keep to it yet. Oh and also chocolate. Chocolate is my weakness ☺️

Slight edit, weighed myself this morning and have lost 2lbs since Monday. So I've met my mini goal after all! Yes!3
