Hey guys was just wondering how far y'all are from your goal weight. Where'd you start? Where are you at now? How'd you get there? Struggles?
I'll start.
Height: 5'7"
SW: 195
Current: 142-144
Goal weight: 135 then reevaluate.
I feel pretty good at the weight I am now. Just want to tone up and thin out a little.

    I am pretty much exactly at the halfway point to my first goal. I think once I get there, I might want to try to push lower, as I will technically still be outside of healthy BMI. But we will see how I look and feel when I get there.

    Obstacles:

    Making sure I was consuming calorie-dense foods and not slipping back into "sugar-free jello for breakfast and lunch so I can binge at night" like I did the first time (it did not turn out well).

    Realizing that losing weight doesn't solve my self-esteem problems. In fact, they probably made them worse, but hey, I'm working on it and feeling better about it.

    That is amazing. Great job :) I suffer from low self-esteem also. It's so hard to get out of sometimes.

    Struggles: emotional eating, upping my protein for satiety

    SW: 165 (June 2018, though for years before that I was cycling up and down the same 7-10 pounds due to overly restricting then binging and having a semi-crappy relationship with food)
    GW: 155 (reached Oct 2018)
    CW: 152 (and a better relationship with food--less under and over eating)

    Didn't have much to lose, but I also did a fair amount of recomp. Had very little muscle before because I was either lazy or a cardio bunny (running, which was hard on my hypermobile joints). Now I primarily do yoga and weights. Cardio is usually just walking around or using my stationary bike desk.

    Part of me wants to get below 150 but for no real purpose. I'm just eating at roughly maintenance and seeing what happens.

    I'm on week 2 of getting serious, before that I wasn't watching what I eat and I was doing 30 minutes a day on the treadmill 3-4 days a week (but not really pushing myself hard enough at that).

    Height: 5'1"
    SW: 176
    CW: 173
    GW: 130

    I am really upset with myself for putting weight back on after a 50+lb loss so I need to quit beating myself up over it and just refocus on getting fit.

    GW: Under 140.

    I don't have a number goal in mind beyond getting below 140 and seeing how I feel then. I want to start weight training at that point. I'm currently focused on getting back into running regularly.

    Goal weight: 225 then reevaluate

    This is my second big weight loss effort. The first time, I "officially" started at 365 and got to 235; over the course of 3 years and a stressful job change, I gained half of the weight back and had to start over. I stopped working out and slowly stopped caring about what I was eating. My biggest current obstacle is being too lax on the weekends; a couple of days of drinking beer can negate any gains made during the week. Currently on a self-imposed alcohol hiatus for Lent.

    I've done the gain and lose weight thing many times... It's the dealing with my issues and maintenance part I've never gotten right. This time around I started Jan 2018... I lost 30 lb by Nov 2018 by doing challenges, counting calories, weighing my food... Still not working on the issues I didn't realize I had... Emotional eating and self sabotage... Gained those 30 lbs back. I don't say I'm starting again because I really never stopped just trying to iron out some things and sometimes food just gets the best of me. Diligently logging and weighing since March 7th and down almost 5 lbs. I seem to be doing better this time by going for 0.5 lb-1lb week loss. I have alot of stressors in my life and this slow loss allows me to eat 2000 calories to avoid the binges... We will see how this goes...

    About 3-4 pounds from my evaluation point where I see what I want to do next. (I know that going into maintenance will bring a weight spike from replenished glycogen stores and food waste.)

    Yes, do not beat yourself up. I got down to 152 last year. Back up to 173 and now down to 143. Just get back to it doll. You'll do great

    On a very slow roll here. 5' 7" F, 40

    SW: ~163-166
    CW: 149
    GW: 128-135 (will evaluate as I get into that range)

    My original goal was 128 as that was my "happy weight" through my 20s, but I've been doing a lot more focused weight lifting the past year and a half, and I'm fairly certain there may be more muscle mass than I used to have (while I was always fairly strong, I didn't really lift weights much, either - some, but not regularly, mostly active jobs).

    If my "saddle bags" are still hanging around at 135 I'll keep going until I'm closer to my old weight.

    GW: 120 then re-evaluate

    8 weeks in, 9.25 lbs lost. I had a woosh after my last period and felt great. Then the next week I put on 2 lbs. I actually shook my fist at the scale. Last week I lost it again but only lost an extra 0.25 lbs. Bit frustrated at the moment but trying to keep the faith in the process. Not helped by constipation :/

    I've learned so much about myself and my relationship with food on this journey. I would turn to food to drown my sorrows or celebrate my happiness. I've changed that relationship/way of thinking. I've also learned the amount of totally awful food I would eat just to be socially acceptable, cue all mother in law cooking, office potlucks and office cookies lying around.

    Ah constipation is my foe for sure. Do you take anything for it? Like twice a month I drink magnesium citrate fixes you right up
