I'm rubbish at logging and keeping under the calorie total. I'm going to try to track and be under budget for more than half of April!

So far I'm 4:11 success day vs pass days. I now have 14 days to turn that around!

03.01: 138.5
04.01: 136.7
04.06: 134.9
04.16: 136.1

Need to be dedicated over the next 2 weeks to logging everything and being under budget!

Nice to see a group where people don't seem to think you're anorexic if you weigh under 120 lbs.
I weigh 111 lbs and would like to lose 6 more. That would put me in the range I maintained most of my adult life before I went on antidepressants 13 years ago. I've lost 2.5 lbs in the last 30 days (24 in the last 18 months). sooo close.

Love that! We all deserve to be whatever we view as the best version of ourselves. I don't judge what someone else wants and I really don't need anyone telling me what I should look like. In my case, I eat a very healthy, sustainable diet and have for years. I've decided I would like to be a bit thinner and that's a slow process because I wasn't overeating to begin with and because I am not interested in really dieting, but rather just making some rather small changes that will keep my weight a bit lower than it has been. The perspective is just so different for someone who has experienced obesity, I think. I occasionally read a recipe post and think, "OMG. I wouldn't eat that meal on a wild splurge!" and it's a "diet" meal. It's not wrong -- just different.

Ok ya'll, I'm new here but you are just what I need. I'm over 50, 5'5" and 153lbs. I am about as sedentary as it is possible to be because I home school my two teenagers and sit ...all...day...long. To make it worse they snack all day long and I snack right along with them. I need to get back to 135lbs. It would be fun to be slimmer than that but I'm not certain it's realistic (yet). I have started walking 60 mins 6 days a week and strength training 2 days. Just started tracking and I am all over the place on calories. Some days way too many, some way too few. Ugh!

Okay, can we agree that MFP was really not designed for people looking to lose less than 10 pounds? I was just informed that, if I continued to eat as I did today, in five weeks I would weigh 111 pounds! Umm... no. At least I hope not!

Agreed, whatever algorithm they use cannot be accurate.

I've been wondering about this!! I'd be so very happy if I actually got close to where the silly app says I will be, I know darn good and well that there's no way - it's just wishful thinking.

01 March: 138.5
01 April: 136.7
01 May: 134.3

I do a lot of cardio (over 6 hours a week). So I have just started Les Mills Bodypump to help incorporate some strength training. Hopefully it will help to shed the pot belly!

I'm in, need to get back in shape for the summer. I want to go from 122 -- 112 (I'm 5'2"). I initially went from 145--> 115 last year but it's crept back up. I know I can do it, just looking for discipline! Open to having some new friends for accountability

Soooo I went to Disneyland and took advantage of all of the shiny mickey mouse shaped treats that they had because when in Rome but I walked around the park for 8 hours!!! We were there for 5 days. The weight is slowly coming off ^^ I'd rather it slowly come off than not at all. On Memorial day I will be running in a marathon! I will be ending this challenge with my first marathon Thank you everyone for the support!

I still need to lose some belly fat and I want to tone my legs and butt ^^ Weight training! I go on instagram and find workouts there. Big help! My upper abs are toned but where my belly button is stubborn fat refuses to go away -.- And it is HOT here in Northern California. I'd like to wear some crop tops to cool off! Hopefully I will be brave enough to wear them this year. I do have stretch marks and loose skin from my second pregnancy.

Can you share some of the instagram pages you go to for workouts?

Hello all, just back from four very busy months with practically no training and absent eating. Ready to get back into the groove! I don't own a scale, I just go by my appearance and measurements but I'd say I have 9 pounds to loose (I'm 5'7). I plan on just getting back to a consistent routine (HIIT x2, weightlifting x3 per week) and mindful eating (with treats along the way to not make me feel deprived).


@CieAilZai whenever I need workout inspiration personally I like @natacha.oceane for HIIT and creative workouts, or @whitneyysimmons for good machine circuits. They're both great!

Hey guys,

I'm new here too.

Been going it alone thus far but as I live with my three sons and my partner who seem to all eat as they please without consequence(!), a little support, encouragement and accountability would probably do me wonders.

I'm 36 - 5'4'' and currently 137lbs (having just shed 5lb).

The target this summer is 130lb.

I am an office worker and a complete foodie!

Feel free to add me.

Hi all,

I’m only 48 but menopause has knocked me to the ground and added an extra 15lbs to my frame in 12mths. It’s time to get back to the person I was before it took hold of my hormones and my appetite!

I’m 115lbs looking get to 105lb and once there possibly 102lbs.

My goals are to be more consistent with my food, exercise and attitude.

🌸

Hey guys! I haven't been around because I met (I actually exceeded) my goal and there hasn't been a lot to say. Then I went through a very stressful two weeks and ate EVERYTHING I could lay my hands on. I bounced up a few pounds and said, "Enough of that!" Now I'm pretty much exactly where I should be and the thing I learned was that there was NOTHING really pleasurable about bingeing out. I was not eating good food or fun food or even eating when I was hungry. I was eating when I was not the least bit hungry, trying to relieve stress! How dumb is that?

I am going to deal with stress in better ways. If anyone is looking for any tips, I really have only two: I exercise in a way that I enjoy so I miss it if I don't do it every day and I EAT VEGETABLES! You literally cannot get fat on vegetables and there is so much variety. I cook them ahead of time so I can make a stirfry in minutes. (You should see my fridge, it is full of glass containers of vegetables!) I throw in beans for protein. Beans are amazing!

Best wishes to everyone on meeting your goals. It really is fantastic to feel I can wear anything again. Life is good!
