    I'd love to join even though I'm late to the party! Ultimately I'd like to lose around 8-10 pounds from what I'm at now, which is a bit much between now and Easter, so I'd be happy with 5.


    Weight at start of challenge (2/14): 122.2
    2/22: 126.2
    3/1: 125.4
    Today: 121.8
    Easter: 117

    I've had a lot of fluctuations, which is normal for someone as short as I am. I recalculated my TDEE today, and it's around 1400-1500 :( Going to have to revamp my meals a bit, as I've been working with 1600. Any other shorties out there who struggle with small calorie numbers?

    I feel you. I'm 5'2 as well and though I have a lot more to lose than you I generally keep to 1100-1200....very very rarely do i go over that and a lot of times with exercise i net way under. I know people will argue that's not healthy but I'm losing steadily at 1-2 lbs (sometimes less, sometimes a bit more depending on TOM) per week with 70ish left to go so for me it works. I have never been able to eat a lot of calories and the older I get the more strict I have to be with it. Oh to be another 2 or 3 inches taller so I could eat a bit more. Ah well it is what it is.

    Thanks for this!
    I'll join in too.
    Starting weight: ~240lbs (will check the scale for sure)
    Goal: ~230lbs by Easter

    I checked the scale on Friday and I was 225.6 - wahoooooo!
    Ok, I will count that as my starting weight. Win/Win for me either way.
    New goal: 215lbs by Easter

    2012 I joined MFP and was working out A LOT! I made it all the way down to 199 (from 264), but settled in at about 210 looking and feeling better than I ever have. Life happens, curveballs are thrown, and my health is the first thing to take a backseat. So, I am back by necessity, but I'm not super jazzed about having to start over. It is what it is!

    I will use this challenge to jump-start my motivation to return to more fitness, better nutrition, and overall wellness.

    02/21/2019: Initial weight (first check-in since 2015) =254
    03/06/2019: Today's weight and Challenge starting weight = 249.2
    Challenge goal weight = 239 on 4/21/2019
    Weighing in on Thursday mornings!

    I actually flipped over to maintenance clories since I'm having some less than pleasant side effects from giving blood...so probably another week, possibly two at this level depending on how I feel...I definitely won't lose the whole 10 lbs but I do want to keep tracking.
