    I'd like to join this callenge.

    Returning to MFP after dealing with the death of my mom. I've gained about 35 lbs. I'd like to lose it again plus more. I have 49.2 lbs to lose in total to reach my goal of 140 lbs.

    I'm in British Columbia, Canada. Female, 48 yrs old, 5'3".

    I just lost my Mom April 9, 2017. I hope that you are doing okay. I have my good days and my bad days.

    I have been going through the same. I lost my mom in August 2016. And around that time I was doing pretty well with eating even though things were hectic. I lost 16 lbs. But gained nearly all of it back because I've been eating bad. I've finally gotten back to cooking real food and I cut out almost all processed food and sugar.

    Looking to lose 55 pounds too by december. Being in a height 4'11 at 120 pounds looks and feels really heavy. My physician also wants me to lose weight due to scoleosis and Muscle/nerve weakness. So here we go. Lets do this! Slow and steady wins the race!

    Steven here in Southern California. Starting weight when I came back to MFP at the start of April was 300lbs. My goal sometime in the summer of 2018 (it's too far off yet to have a sense of when that will be) is 185lbs. But if I only manage to take off 100 lbs and crack the 200 lbs marker I'll be pleased. It's the process and making it part of every day that a challenge like this is about. A sustained 2 lbs a week is a serious undertaking but I am definitely up for it. Having to log the results here is a good thing. The public accountability factor will help keep me on the path.

    June 01 Starting weight for the lose 55 lbs by Xmas challenge: 287.5 lbs.
    June 08 after 1 week weigh-in at 285.5 lbs. Down 2 lbs and on track.
    Goal weight for Xmas 2017: 232.5 lbs. Which is what I weighed 4 years ago.
    2 lbs total lost towards that 55lbs by Xmas. See you all in one week, hopefully 2 lbs lighter.

    I so want to lose about that much. That is about the equivalent of my final goal. Its about 5 pounds under my goal. I am determined to not be a diabetic, to reduce my medication for high blood pressure, to look good for me, to do this for me! HERE IS TO A NEW ME! I am KETO all the way!

    I'd love to join. Took a long break from MFP and started gaining again. Was down to 195 now back up to 220. Need to put the brakes on before I end up back at 270. I'm in Addy, Wa.

    This might be water weight loss from PMS but from my previous weight of 120..2wks later
    I got down to 112.
    I think aside from calorie counting, my daily water intake also helped since I drink at least 8-12 glasses of water in a day.
    My workouts : Desk cycling for an hour, 5 different Squats positions, 10-15 reps,(I change the number of reps per day. Maximum is 20 reps) and3-5 minute warm up stretching for scoleosis. On my rest days I still do stretching.
