    CW:266.4 on March 25th
    Short term goal: under 250 by the end of May
    Long term goal: about 140 pounds (I honestly have no idea what this would even look like on me. I have been big my whole life) I’m 5’4” so this is still at the top of my BMI so we will see. I’m breaking my weight loss into 10 % goals do it doesn’t feel so overwhelming. Anyone who wants a cheerleader in their journey feel free to add me!

    I started at 228 & down to 177 now. Still 25 pounds to go. Small changes one day at a time. It’s a marathon not a sprint. I tell myself every day. I started with the Eat Clean diet book. More fresh raw food & more protein. Taking healthy snacks & nuts with me every where. Started eating breakfast every day which I wasn’t doing for years. Small amounts of movement every day. Walking,stairs etc. “ Don’t wish for it more than you are willing to work for it.”( From Transform App with Chris & Heidi Powell)

    I picked up a 20kg weight plate at work, and thought wow, my knees would be so much happier if I could lose 20kg...for a start anyway...

    Finding it hard to actually start...couldn't start till after christmas, then after my birthday, then my sisters birthday...then easter...and now I have 2 weeks vacation...when do I start? :neutral:

    Starting weight: 239 (last May)
    Current weight: 177.5
    Short term goal: 165 (Beginning of April)
    Long term goal: ??? (Going to get to bodyfat % of 25-30 and re-evaluate where I'll go from there.)

    Can't even imagine. I'm almost at my lowest adult weight already.

    Well, it's April 2nd and I weighed in at 157.3! Short term goal met.

    That being said, I intend to do a structured diet break until May 7th (at least that's the current plan). I will work on recomp stuff, but want to try to figure out where I'm really at for caloric needs on a daily basis. Sort of getting to know the new me, so to speak.

    New short term goal: Weigh no more than 162 on May 7th (I'm OK with a small bulk, and I *know* I'll have water weight gain somewhere along the way, as I'm looking to build strength. Still hoping to be closer to 157 when it's all said and done May 7th.

    Start the day. One small change that you can carry through your vacation. 30 minutes if movement a day, more water, more veggies, less fried....

    My goal is to lose 40 pounds and tone up. I’m not focusing on the number on the scale. I’m focusing on how my clothes are fitting, clean eating and muscle toning.

    Hey all! Hope your journeys are going well!

    My stats:
    Currently at 229.1
    GW: 160
    End of April goal: 225

    So I have 71 lbs to lose...I’m taking the slow and steady race at 4/lbs a month so that puts me at a year and 2 months or 14 months! I did not hit my March goal. I only lost 2.3 lbs but I did lose 15”!

    I’m just trying to remain consistent I always quit when I get to 215ish or something in life happens and I turn to food. I am determined to continue with this lifestyle change this time! This is definitely the most consistent I’ve been and the first time I’ve never been taking diet pills.

    (I’ve done the fast way with diet pills, juicing etc...the weight never stays off!)

    I am only 5 feet tall and I am pear shaped, I carry all my weight on my lower half.

    So, I started with a 65 lb weight loss goal, now down to 59 lbs! I would love to connect with people looking to lose a similar amount. We can do this!

    Congrats girl! Let's work!

    Hi! It’s been a while since you posted but I hope you’re still active... :) I didn’t weigh myself for a couple of months and I have gained weight... this is the most I’ve ever weighed and I am ready to really work on myself and lose it... I weighed nearly 270 but have lost a couple pounds since I started tracking calories and exercising almost every day! It has been 2 weeks and now I am 260. I will be so happy when I am less than 200 and even happier when I reach my goal weight of 175... hope we can talk and support each other!!

    Still active and still here! Just keep logging in and staying consistent and you can crush these goals! Let's work

    What a month March has been for me!

    I've had another amazing week. I lost another 4.4 pounds, to bring me to a total of 75 pounds lost!

    I have to admit, though, that I'm starting to feel the strain of the extended deficits and hard game. I'm giving things one more week, and then will be doing a structured maintenance break for April and the beginning of May.

    You're so awesome! Keep it up girl!

    My goal is to get out of the 200s. Then I’ll reassess and go from there!

    So I’ve got 35 pounds to go, down from 50.

    Looking for MFP buddies as well! Feel free to add. I have a 1200 calorie, usually high protein diary.

    Count me in on this. I am have a B'day in May, I saw lot's of us have "May" goals. But my goal in for June 30th - I want to hit 190.

    HSW: 258
    Current SW - 237.8 (15th Jan)
    Challenge SW: 226
    Goals:
    1) getting down - 215 - will want to go clothes shopping (I hope to be down a size)
    2) get below 200, like 190-195 (so on fluctuation day I never see the 2 again)
    3) set new goals. -> another 50 or so to go I guess.

    It's slow and steady right now. I want it to stay that way. I think I can hit my goals by middle of this year - but I am nervous my current progress will slow down.

    I am taking it one day at a time - so thanks for all the inspirational stories, and all the support.

    20/02 - 226.0 lbs (Challenge Start)
    27/02 - 223.8 lbs (Week 1 loss -2.2lbs)
    07/03 - 221.6 lbs (Week 2 loss -2.2lbs)
    13/03 - 221.0 lbs (Week 3 loss - 0.6lbs)
    20/03 - 218.4 lbs (Week 4 loss - 2.6lbs)
    17/04 - 219.2 lbs - Easter holidays has ruined me ... but I am here ... I am back and I want to keep going.
    I will be counting next week as "Week 5" - :blush: this is my way to cope! See you next Tuesday. ... hopefully a pound or 2 down!

    Challenge loss so far (4 weeks) -7.6 lbs
