10 lbs. by Easter is looking extremely unlikely for me, but I guess I should be happy with any progress. And it’s been a long time since I was in the 160s, so it feels good to cross that threshold.
I am so impressed by those of you losing multiple pounds in a week! Amazing!3 -

Okay, weight loss has become very frustrating now that I am nearing my goal....Ugh!! It's really starting to have an impact on me
When you stick to 1200 calories a day you really want the reinforcement of losing a pound a week...it feels like it takes me 1 and a half weeks to drop a pound which doesn't add up!!

Since I'm back at it again for the wmfirst time maybe I can lose all that water weight at least.
Thanks guys!1 -
My first post on here, so here goes..
Fairly recently changed my regime. Always been a very big guy, but now working very hard to get healthy and loving it.
Anyhow, sort of cheating here because I didn't set out to go for this challenge at all and I'm really benefiting from the rapid weight loss that comes at the beginning, but I'll join in!
Starting Weight: 313.5 (13th March 2019)
Current Weight: 292 (11th April 2019)
Ultimate Goal: 175
So, what I'll do is I'll set myself a goal to drop a further 5 pounds before Easter!

I'm posting a day early because I may not be able to post tomorrow. Also, I think now that I have met my goal weight I'm just going to stop here so this will be my last post. I'm not quite sure what my final weight "should" be but I feel like it's within 10-15 pounds of where I am now, so I'm going to start slowing things way down and taper to maintenance.
Thanks for this much needed push! The support from this mini challenge really helped me over a critical hump. Good luck in all your endeavors, folks.5 -
Congratulations on meeting your goal @durhammfp ! I feel you on not being sure about the final weight, too. It’s good to have a vague goal in mind, but never easy to know if it’s accurate until you’re there. Nothing wrong with figuring it out over time. :-)
Good luck with maintenance! :-D1 -
