    Hello everyone! I'm new here but I'm looking for accountability so I'm down to post my weight weekly. I'm currently at 141.8 (my scale isn't super accurate, I'm planning on buying a new one) and my goal is 120. My biggest struggle is staying consistent with calorie counting. I always want to just skip it for a day and eat whatever I want :/

    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!

    How you all doing?
    Just hanging in (like me) or achieving goals?

    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.

    Second day in a row where I'm at my goal weight -- so I guess it's real! I'm starting to add a few starches (potatoes and more sweet potatoes) to my meals, a little more fruit. I have not been hungry in ages, but I have craved things that feel a bit more "solid," so now I'll be slowly adding some of those foods in. It's an odd feeling saying, "This is right where I want to be!" I haven't felt that way in a few years. :smile:

    I joined the ultimate accountability challenge this month and it has really helped me stay more focused when it comes to food and tracking

    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!

    This is the group for me!

    I am quite active... but been snacking way too much. It would be so nice to shed a bit of fluff to actually see the muscles I've been trying to build over the winter.

    I'm a good cheerleader. Please add me and we can work on this together!

    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.

    I need accountability. I am retiring this year after 30 years of teaching and want to start it fit and healthy. I'm with the wine and after dinner snacking crowd. Goals: No unhealthy/process food snacking at night and bye bye wine (for awhile) :).

    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 had a terrible weekend of stress eating. Good news is that even though my consumption went through the ceiling I stuck to my exercise plan. Fortunately, THE SCALE, did not register as much as I thought it would on Monday. I am hoping this means that all this exercise is actually bumping my metabolism up a little bit.

    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 <3 Thank you everyone for the support!
