My name is Lynn. I would very much like to join. I have spent the past 2 months eating whatever I wanted. I just gave up and let go. I am a healty but heavy 61 year old woman. My current weight is 178 so I am hoping for 168- I would be thrilled with more of course.4

Hi, @dlm4mom Near the top of this page (pg 5) you'll see a post from me that has a "Spoiler" (hidden text) section. If you would like some suggestions on re-set / re-start self-awareness steps, take a read. It's only a "spoiler" so that people here who already have a system that is working for them could skip over it.
Just substitute looking up whatever you personally find a challenge for the sugary examples if, for you, it is more a question of salty or fatty temptations.1 -

So I will officially weigh in and start January 1st and determine my goal from there then weigh in weekly.
Good luck!
Ok so I decided to bite the bullet and weigh this morning. So I'll will be doing my weigh ins on Fridays. Hoping to get under 200 by challenge end.

@sassysmom35 You are my challenge twin. I had put starting weight 210 and GW 199 ie Onederland.
I did the same as you, started logging food but didn't step on scale not to get discouraged by the number. I estimate I have lost 20 lbs already.
I am 5ft7. My UGW is 130ish3 -
I’m in! Not sure I can get down 10 lbs by then, but it would be an awesome Valentine’s Day gift to myself! SW: 126.6, GW: 116.6. In addition to this “outcome” goal, I’m also going to commit to some “process” goals: work out at least 5 days a week (tough to do with travel), 8 glasses of water a day, and daily tracking. Let’s see if we can do this!!!2
-
I'm in! I'm going to up the goal to 16lbs since I should be able to continue losing at 2lbs/week.

Here we go...

Hello to our New Year posse! I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year!
It's only 44 days until V-Day, so if you're just joining in this challenge now - firstly WELCOME. You don't need to do anything special, other than checking in on this thread from time to time and keeping us posted on how you're getting on.
Secondly - and this is important - please be realistic about whether 10lbs is doable for you at your current weight and healthy weekly loss. It's definitely going to be a stretch for me, and I've still got 40lbs to lose! If you're only a little bit overweight, and are here to shed some vanity pounds, please, please, please choose a more sensible target for yourself. If your V-Day goal is 2lbs or 5lbs or 7lbs, that's totally fine. We're delighted to have you join in (the more the merrier!), but there is no starving on this thread!

That's awesome. Except for height we are total twinsies! That'll make it even more fun to have someone similar in so many ways. Do you mind if I add you as a friend?2 -
Just found this group. Would love to lose 5-7 pounds by V day.2

I would love to join!

I’m in! Current weight 222.
Goal by 2/14 is 212!3 -
Damn straight I'm in. I've already joined the lose 30 in 3 months group. This really shouldn't be too bad. I'll go by my lowest weight so far as I put on water weight from yesterday. Starting 188, goal to be 178 or lower by Valentine's Day. I'm feeling pretty confident based on my weight loss through just diet over the past year. Time to kick it up a notch!2

I’m in! I lost 4 stone back in 2016 and after having a baby I have gained three of it back! Arghhhhhh! At least I know I can do it!
Current weight: 185lbs
Goal Weight: 145lbs2 -
So... SW: 210.8 lbs. I wanted to start exactly on the 1st.
Started the day and year with a (fast for me) 5 mile.
if every day were like today I'd weigh 197 lbs in 5 weeks. Oh well... Tomorrow will be more normal ie I'll eat back exercise calories2 -
Happy New Year! I would love to try this challenge. Let's do this!

I've lost about 100, but it's starting to get away from me due to a hip.

I’m in. I think 5# by Valentine’s day is a more reasonable goal for me since I am trying to build muscle at the same time. We are going to Cancun on the 18th but I am committed to not pigging out on vacation.
CW: 130
GW: 125
Anyone is also welcome to add me. I’ve been on mfp for awhile, but most of my friends have dropped off.2 -

I am late to the party it seems! Not sure I can do the whole 10 pounds by February 14th but I am going to try! Hoping a few of these pounds were water weight from the holidays.

Rolling over to this group now- keeping it going!

I have already lost about 3-4 pounds ( been dieting & exercising since early Dec), which is the best new year present & worth my being vigilant during the xmas season .
Would love to lose a further 8 pounds
by 14 feb , to give myself the best Valentine's day present .
happy 2019 all !2 -

4 more days until I can weigh in and see how I did over this vacation. There have been so many family visits, parties and dinner dates - but I think I’ve done pretty well! It’s also been unfortunately sedentary around here except for my 3 runs each week, but I’m still hopeful I’ve not done too badly. 🤞🏻3

No need to wait .... if you want to do an interim weigh-in check (whether you post it here or not), DO SO!
The more data-points you gather, the more correlations you can make. (what did I do that helped / hindered desired results since last time?)
The more correlations you can make, the more information you can apply to help make better and better choices over time.3 -
Definitely in ☺️
Back doing myfitnesspal properly after a few years - and I’m on it! Aiming to lose half a stone by Valentine’s Day ❤️ off on a little holiday at the end of January so think 7 pounds is more realistic than 10.

Happy New Year! X2
