Started October 2005 at over 185lbs (don't know my exact start weight, I was 185 when I was brave enough to finally stepped on the scale for the first time) so almost 12 years ago, hit my target weight of 130 in May 2006 and have been maintaining ever since, going up and down 5 lbs. When I go up I get myself back in line smarten up and hold myself accountable by recording everything, when I go down I woohoo and then get on with my life. Some months have been a struggle and some months are super easy. But I feel 1000 x's better going into my 40's then I ever felt in my 20's.7

I started my journey in March and i lost 20lbs so far and i have 20 more to go. I believe the reason my progress has been so slow is because i wasn't educated in the beginning.MFP has really helped me.2

Since May 2015.
At first I went from 315-180lbs, I got a surprise pregnancy and only gained 30 lbs. Now that I've had the baby I'm at 208 lbs and working film getting down to 165 lbs.5 -
2 years off and on. 40 that I've kept off, 50 was my highest amount lost. But I fell off the bandwagon, got sick, had lots of stress, and no access to healthy foods for 7 months and only gained back 10 pounds... so I would say the lifestyle change worked.4

I've been focusing on my weight for nearly 5 years between losing, maintaining, some intentional gains, and one not intentional gain. I am down 54.5 kg (120 pounds) with 30-40 more pounds to go. I'll know when I get there.3

Started February 2016, lost 50 pounds so far. Taking a bit longer than I wanted/planned, but I'm way happier now and the times going to pass anyways, might as well progress slowly instead of not at all!1

In Feb 2017, I weighed 15 stone 5lbs (215lbs). Lost 1 stone (14lbs) in 2017. In 2018 so far I have lost 4 stones and 8 lbs (or 64lbs). Altogether I've lost 78lbs since my peak weight. Toning and getting lean is my goal now although admittedly my target weight is 126lbs.
I'm 165cm and CW is 9 stone 11lbs (or 137lbs).
Would be great to connect to support eachother!0 -

Let's see, when I was 11 (20lbs), then again when I was 16 (35lbs). Again when I turned 20 (25lbs), Again when I was 23(90lbs). Then 25(70lbs), Now again and I'm almost 30 and I need to lose about 120lbs only I'd like to hope I can change my lifestyle and keep it off this time around. Every time I've lost that weight, i'd keep it off and struggle with doing so for 2-6months, then i'd give up and gain it back rapidly+ more.
his time I've been on my journey for about a week and I've lost about 1lbs. I know I can lose weight, I've done it so many times before, what scares me is getting to my goal and giving up again.
