Great job. You should be really proud of yourself0

Hi all! I've not been posting here for a couple of weeks -- I promise a Wednesday weigh in this week (right now I'm at 121.2 -- so that's amazing for me! More than 30 lbs. lost!) but I wanted to add in to stick with it! It's the MATH -- 1 lb. /week seems so slow, but guess what? I started last August at 152, and here I am at 121!! It works. Track the calories and stick with it.
As for snacks -- it's hard! I too try to spend the late afternoon hours before dinner doing something active. That's the hardest time I think -- but I ALWAYS have strawberries or zucchinis or clementines at hand, and they assuage me when I'm really looking for something sweet or, in the case of the zucchinis, something crunchy (I use raw zucchini like crackers -- it really works for me. Put on a low calorie guacamole (Trader Joe's has a good one made with Greek yogurt that is only 30 cals for 2 tbsp) and crunch away. Anyway, have a cup of tea or a mineral water and a healthy snack... and think about the goal. I am wearing size FOUR skinny jeans -- that's CRAZY! Do some ab crunches, go for a walk, get on a bike, or just clean out a closet. See y'all on Wednesday! I'm looking for the 1-2-0!!9 -

Goal has always been 132! Love to hear all the great advice on overcoming the night time snack attacks and the yoga suggestions - I need to try it.
Starfruit -- that's GREAT progress -- just keep at the 1200/day and you WILL see the weight drop! This I know now. And don't be surprised if when you get to the 132, you keep going -- originally, I only wanted to lose "those 20 lbs." -- and I was really happy when I got there -- but then, I realized I could keep going -- I decided to go for 35 lbs. overall (actually, that would take me to 117 -- nothing wrong with that, but my newest "goal" is 115 --it will give me that "couple of pounds" to go up and down with and not worry about in maintenance) Anyway, keep at it and be patient. Eat those greens! Oh, and thanks for the reply! It's all motivation to keep going!1 -
Hi! I started MFP again after a 2 year break (during which I gained all of my weight back!). I started Jan 1, 2017 at 154.6 and as of today I am at 134.4. My goal is 125, although I am not sure I will be 100% satisfied at this goal. For much of my youth I weight 115lb, give or take a few lbs, so I know what I look like and feel like a little lighter than my goal. Oh and I am 5'3" and 34yo.5

If it's not girls only........lol Feel free to add me. I have lost 35lbs and I'm trying to lose another 30lbs. Have a great day.4

I am 5'3'' and I weigh 156 down from 174, and I want to be 130 as well. Have no idea what it would be like since I have never been that thin since puberty.... but that is what I want. I am 263

5'1", SW: 133, GW: 107, CW: 111
Went as low as 102, but have since put on muscle. Again, dealing with stress has led to a small gain I'm working on now.2 -
5'1" here. SW: 162 GW: 131 CW: 162
Lost 4-5 lbs last month and put it back on very quickly - stress eating.
Starting over again today.3 -
Im also starting back up these last few weeks after a months-long hiatus. But unlike when I lost over 20 lbs last summer, I'm struggling with motivation each day to eat less and work out this time around. Around 5'2" with 20 lbs to lose to be at goal in the mid 120s. Feel free to add me!2

5'1'.5 here. SW=192 CW=?? but I think 170 (scale broke) GW=135. Will be working on scale repair ASAP, lol.
I was doing great, down to 152 but then I moved, started a new job, had gallbladder surgery and then the flu...basically one thing after another for the past 8 months! I'm ready to get back on track and looking for accountabilibuddies5 -
I'm 5'3", started at 167, and I would love to eventually get down to between 145-150 (which was my weight 6 years ago!) I'd like to lose 10 lbs before going to Cabo for my birthday this summer!2

When I started posting to this thread on Dec. 7th (thanks for starting it Daisy!) there were a few of us that were weighing in weekly -- and except for the last couple of weeks, I've done that every Wednesday! So, here is my Wednesday weigh in!
SW -- 152 (August) -- I weighed 132 when I started posting here in Dec. -- that was my original "goal" btw!
GW -- 115 -177
CW -- 120.9
Height: 5'3"
Age: 59
Health: SO much better! Energy: Through the roof!
I can't believe I can really say I'm within 5 lbs. of a goal I NEVER EVER even thought possible a year ago. Happy Wednesday!

Thanks to all the awesome ladies that keep motivating, and especially @juliemargaretkim, your logging keep me motivated, your start weight and goal weight (120) is close to mine, and it's encouraging to see what a year of consistency can do.. Here are my stats for hopes that it might motivate others:
SW - 03/30/17 - 157lb
PW - 04/12/17 - 155lb
LW - 04/19/17 - 155lb
CW - 04/26/17 - 153lb
Height 5'2"
My CICO is for half pound per week. I felt that is realistic for me to maintain.1 -
I'm 27 currently at 183lbs, want to get to 130. Loooong way to go. I am currently doing the 4 day Military Diet Plan to kick start. Please Add Me I need a lot of help.0
