Starting weight: 281.6 lbs (04 Feb 2017)
Goal weight: 161.0 lbs (averaged together various recommended body weights)
100 lb loss target date: 01 Aug 2018
Goal weight target date: 19 Dec 2018
Goal loss rate: 1 lb per week (although I have my MFP goal set at 2 lbs per week at the moment)
Current weight: 247.0 lbs (as of 26 Apr 2017)
Next milestone: 225 lbs (27 Sep 2017 target)
Loss last week: 4.8 lbs (Finally lost the weight I gained after Easter and the ensuing leftovers!)
Total loss: 34.6 lbs
What's going well:
* I'm thrilled with my progress in my running program!
* I joined a 4-week challenge at nerdfitness.com and it's going great!
* Preparing breakfast and lunch for work on the previous evening
* Controlling portion sizes when cooking
What's going poorly:
* Making good choices and controlling portion size when eating meals other people make
* I didn't log at all on 22 Apr, and I'm pretty sure I overate that day.
* I'm still not back down to my low weight, which was 246.4 on 21 Apr.
Mission Statement
* I will be diligent in tracking my food! I will stay under calorie and sodium goals! I got this!!2 -
SW: 325lbs
CW: 277.6lbs
GW: Initially 180lbs and then I'll decide from there how much lower I might want to go.
Loss Last Week: -2.2lbs
Total Loss - 47.4lbs
Short term goal: I'm going to carry on with aiming for 10lb increments so new goal is 270lbs by the end of May. Also adding on - a 2.6lbs loss to make my 50lbs lost!
Another good loss for me. It seems to be averaging out at around 2lbs loss per week. I'm eating for a 1.5lb deficit and then exercising about 30 minutes a day for 5 out of 7 days. I'm feeling good at the moment so plan to keep on this track for now - no point fixing what ain't broken!
Interestingly I've found I'm going off junk food more and more. It was a birthday yesterday and I had a small slice of the home made cake. Now my friend makes amazing cakes and this one was no exception but I felt kinda queasy after eating it - I'm thinking it was just too much sugar and fat all at once!
The next couple of weeks are going to be hard. I have my parents visiting and we usually go out for a meal together at the least and then the week after my wee boy turns 8. We're taking him away on a surprise trip so that will involve eating out a lot etc. I'm going to aim to a) make healthy choices b)maintain my weight and c) MOST IMPORTANT - enjoy my sons birthday!2 -
SW: ~296 lbs (01/01/2017)
GW: <190 lbs (top of my healthy BMI range)
My goal date for losing 100 lbs is by Jan 2018
Milestone: 252 lbs (by end April)
CW: 255.0 lbs, 04/30
Loss last week: +0.9 lbs
Total loss: -41.0 lbs
What's working, what's not:
Had company visit and upped my carbs, which I think jacked my water retention. I wasn't that bad on meeting my calorie goals. Thus expecting a big whoosh this week as I get back to normal diet.

CW:275
GW:200 for now.
I woke up a few weeks ago and I had just had enough. I'm absolutely sick of being overweight. I want to be able to look in the mirror when brushing my teeth in the morning. I want to shop for clothes in any store I please without worrying if they carry my size. I haven't weighed 200lbs since I was 10 years old. It's time. Please add me. I'm completely dedicated to this and I log everything including excercise. I want to lose 100lbs in 7 months. I feel like through diet,excercise and determination this is possible.
By April 1st 2017: 291lbs
By May 1st 2017: 275lbs
By June 1st 2017: 260lbs
By July 1st 2017: 245lbs
By August 1st 2017: 230lbs
By September 1st 2017: 215lbs
By October 1st 2017: 200lbs.
Just an update: I've met my first two weight goals. Challenges for me are being active on days that I'm off of work. I would like to start focusing more on my macros.5 -

GW: 14 st 7lb (big goal - lose 10 stones!)
Old small goal : below 23 st by end of April - MET!
New small goal : below 22 st by 12th June.
Loss this week : -2lbs
Total loss since SW: -22lbs
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 - my OH said I looked smaller which was nice. Checked measurements and have lost 2 inches off waist and 2 inches off hips.
What could be better - I'm still not great at drinking water so that could be better.

About Me: 27 years old, office worker (marketing).
My Starting Weight: 260 lbs (01/01/2017)
My Ultimate Goal Weight: <150 lbs (I'm 5'4" so I will evaluate body composition after this)

Milestone #1: 235 lbs (by April for a trip to London - on track, only 5lbs to go in three weeks!) DONE!
Milestone #2: 220 lbs (my next 20lbs loss and my next reward bracelet)
Milestone #3: 199 lbs (I'd love to be in Onederland for Ren Faire in early November. 33 weeks, and 33-66lbs are possible!)
Last Check-In Weight: 234.3 lbs, 04/06
Current Weight: 229.0 lbs, 05/01
Loss between checkins: -5.3 lbs
Total loss: -31 lbs
What's still working:- Tracking food on MFP - I've been fairly religious. On Sundays I tend to not log but still watch what I eat.
- Intermittent Fasting. 16:8 (noon-8pm).
- Feeling full - I'm better at knowing what a meal should feel like, and reminding myself I should be full and not snacking out of boredom.
- Exercise - I've been working with a trainer and going to the gym at least 4x a week, plus upping cardio. I do mostly heavy lifting, and I love it.
What's not:- Still work a sedentary office job. It's hard to get the steps in.
- Cooking my own food - I run a gallery and have an 8-5 job, so I'm usually all over the map.
- Sleep is harder and harder. I need to get back to closer to 8 hours a night.
- Tracking calories - I let it slip because of travel, etc., but I need to get back on track and get back to basics.

CW: 243.8 lbs
GW: 150lbs by Feb, 2018
Last Week's Weight loss: 3.8 lb
Total Loss -33.4 lbs
Water intake is becoming easier. I think I finally have eating out under control.
Not working: evening out my macros. I still can't get enough protein without throwing my Carbs/fats out of whack.1 -
SW: 286 on 2/21/17
CW: 271 on 4/30/17
Loss this week: 3 lbs
Total loss: 15 lbs
Weight goal one: 260 in June
Weight goal two: 230 in October
End weight goal: 160
What's working: Still logging away.
Weight training twice a week.
Swimming laps at the Y
Making better choices eating out and packing my lunches and snacks at work.
Needs improvement: drink more water, sodium levels still too high. Weekend food I tend to go a little overboard. Pizza with the family or out to eat with the folks.
Overall this is a good week - I've dropped 3 pounds total all week - I had a mid week weigh in with a 2 pounds loss and a final weekend weigh in with another pound down. This is the biggest week loss I've had. I'm happy about that.

Goal 2 - 260 by July 1
Goal 3 - 220 by Christmas 2017
Goal 4 - 199 by March 16 Vacation 2018
Overall Goal Lose 108 lbs. 37.5 down 70.5 to go
Recent NSV - I can fit into a few of my favorite shirts from 4 years ago. I am still 5 lbs or so away from comfortably fitting into 40" jeans...these 44s look so baggy and terrible right now.
I bought one of those newfangled scales yesterday that measures all the BMI, fat, muscle, bone and water percentage. I wish i did it months ago.
What is working:
Staying on track with exercise - havent skipped a day at the gym since 3/28 - my longest streak ever.
Keeping calories at 1890/day or less during the week (weekends are over due to libations).
NO BEER M-T (non weekends)
Motivation from friends on MFP!
Water Water Water Water
What isn't working:
I got a new scale and its 4 lbs more than my current scale side by side, every time...grrrrr...it put me back into the 270s which took me so long to get out of!6 -
Starting weight: 281.6 lbs (04 Feb 2017)
Goal weight: 161.0 lbs (averaged together various recommended body weights)
100 lb loss target date: 11 Jul 2018
Goal weight target date: 05 Dec 2018
Goal loss rate: 1 lb per week (although I have my MFP goal set at 2 lbs per week at the moment)
Current weight: 244.0 lbs (as of 03 May Apr 2017)
Next milestone: 225 lbs (13 Sep 2017 target)
Loss last week: 3.0 lbs
Total loss: 37.6 lbs
What's going well:
* Preparing breakfast and lunch for work on the previous evening
* Controlling portion sizes when cooking
* Running is going great--I'm walking/running a 5k on 5/6!!
* Nerdfitness challenge is progressing well, too!
What's going poorly:

Mission Statement

SW: 311 lbs
CW: 284 lbs (down 3# in April)
UGW: 144 lbs
What is working:
Heavy lifting with .5 to and hour 45 mins of cardio 3-5xWeek.
Consistently logging my food...every single bite (even a lifesaver)
Using my Samsung Gear Fit 2 watch to remind me to get up and move every hour.
Drinking a gallon of water a day
Eating around 150 125g of protein a day. (look at my diary, it is public, and days where I meet this goal are good ones).
I upped my carbs and now the pounds are coming off. I needed more so I reduced my fat and protein slightly to allow for more carbs but still consume the same amount of calories.
Using Cardio and Carbs as tools for weight reduction.
Prepping my weekly meals in advance, with portions ready to eat in separate containers. https://www.amazon.com/California-Home-Goods-Compartment-Containers/dp/B00WLCDT9O/
What isn't working:
I work at a desk and when I am home I write novels and short stories or watch Netflix...so still struggling to get in steps. (Thank God for the Gear Fit)
Balancing my desire for Carbs with what I really need to stay productive. I recently upped my carbs.
Mentally, I obsess over food...what I'm going to eat, when I'm going to eat, how much I get to eat...I come from a background of BED (binge eating disorder). So yeah, I journal a lot, do meal planning so I only have to obsess over the macros once or twice a week, and I tend to eat the same things quite often to keep myself from worry about my food. I am a lot more focused now that meal prepping is back in my schedule.4 -
SW: 325lbs
CW: 274.9lbs
GW: Initially 180lbs and then I'll decide from there how much lower I might want to go.
Loss Last Week: -2.7lbs
Total Loss - 50.1lbs
Short term goal: I'm going to carry on with aiming for 10lb increments so new goal is 270lbs by the end of May. Also adding on - a 2.6lbs loss to make my 50lbs lost! - Made my 50lbs lost goal this week WOOHOO!!
Super surprised by the size of the loss this week but super happy to make my 50lb loss. Now I just need to watching my food intake on holiday next week and make sure I get plenty of walking in - that won't be a problem. It'll just be avoiding all the high calorie meals out - I'm scoping out restaurants before we go so I can make an informed choice from the menu. Otherwise I panic and end up ordering my entire days calories in one meal!3 -
My Starting Weight: ~375 lbs (01/01/2017)
My goal: 300 lbs by end of summer
Previous Milestone: 325 lbs - acheived!
New Milestone: 315 lbs - let's go to little chunks
Current Weight: 322.5 lbs, 05/04
Total loss: -53 lbs; -3 inches from waist & hips (next weekend is measurement day)
What's working: trying to stick to my calorie limit, trying to limit added sugars.
What's not working: the macros are a struggle; I'm just going to have to accept that, I suppose. Lately has been bad - I've been creeping over my calorie limit more often than not, by as much as 100 calories, and this really needs to stop. I've had issues lately, emotionally, and there's been some big bumps in the road, but I haven't given up yet!

Recent NSV - Someone I work with finally noticed I am losing weight. I realized people dont really notice when you wear the same old baggy clothes. As soon as I put on a new smaller shirt, people started to notice!
What is working:
Staying on track with exercise - the new lower intensity workout is giving same results as when I was pushing my heartrate to max. And this is so much more healthy. I am still the sweatiest guy in the gym hahaha.
Keeping calories at 1890/day or less during the week (weekends are over due to libations).
NO BEER M-T (non weekends) - FAIL this week. Wifes Bday and visiting friends...but I still managed to lose the 4 lbs so its all OK with me.
Motivation from friends on MFP!
Water Water Water Water - I drank more water this week than ever I think.
What isn't working:
NOTHING I am having fun eating great foods and losing weight so nothing to complain about.1 -
