I'm in! I recently got married, and pre-wedding I got down to 142lb with consistant diet and exercise (starting weight was 197lb). Post-wedding, I've gained at least 10lbs, so I'd like to get down to at least my pre-wedding weight again.

Nice to find a group with this short term goal. I need it! Man, it’s been a roller coaster ride the last couple of years but when I hit nearly 200 in April I said, “Enough is enough...”. So I’m proud to be down 10 since. I felt great in my 20s at 160 but giving myself some liberty in my 50s for the 170 goal. Heck, if I decide to go for the 160s at 170? That’ll be gravy after losing 17 from this point right?!?2 -
Weight: idk- last weight was 254 at the Dr in September. I'll get a new weight when I see the Dr in November unless I have occasion to see him before that.

Hi,
Been off of My Fitness Pal for a long time. I have gained back most of what I lost when I frist joined years ago so now it is time to get myself back on track and logging my food is the best way to do so even if I think that it is time consuming and time is something that there is never enough of.

More important that then number on the scale... feel comfortable in my own skin again and recognize my reflection.

Biggest Challenge to Meeting My Goals: Keeping up the Momentum
Guilty Pleasure: Watching TV
Background: I am a former WeightWatcher and am a serial dieter (every 10 years or so). I meet my goal, maintain for a year or two and slowly allow the weight to creep back up. This happens every time I stop logging in my food intake! I am a 50-something and want an active retirement. For me, motivation is the hardest thing to maintain as I age. I literally sat on the couch for almost a year telling myself it's time to do something, getting started, etc..
I am finding it is possible to lose weight just like I did when I was younger. I kept my diaries from my WW days and am losing at the same rate as my 36-year old self. Is it a little harder, yes. I am finding I must be active at least 30 minutes a day (yes, that's all it takes) and make sure I throw in some weight training. I do not go to the gym because I save time not having to travel.
Some tips and tricks I have been using this round include the following.- Walking in place while I do mundane chores such as washing dishes or prepping my food.
- Planning my meals on the weekends and making sure I have meals that last through the workweek.
- Walking in place during conference calls.
- Using the stairs at work and at home.
I hope everyone has a great day. Looking forward to losing together!5 -

I've been lurking around MFP again, was active earlier in the year and needed a bit of a break (I tend to get in the restriction/binge cycle). But I think I'm ready for a goal again. Seems like a good forum to join.
Weight: 146.6
Goal by 12/31/19: 138
Favorite Calorie Burning Activity: boot camp/HIIT class at my gym
Biggest Challenge to meeting your Goals: binge eating. I tend to do well counting calories for a while, lose weight, then get that "restriction" mindset and start bingeing again. Will allow more calories per day than in the past, knowing weight loss will be slower but hopefully more sustainable.
A Guilty Pleasure: too many shows I'm in to on Netflix right now2 -
So the other day I gained 2.2 pounds and I was about to whine about it here and ask for advice but then I decided no, I’m not going to be David Downer on this thread. Not today anyway. After all, I KNOW what the problem was, right? Poor eating choices and not exercising. Plain and simple. Yesterday? Totally different attitude and initiative. Lifting in the morning - smarter although certainly room for improvement eating choices - then walking three miles last night. The result? Down 2.6 pounds this morning! Back on track baby!5

Thanks for keeping it real and self-analyzing. Many of the boards here are filled with, "I don't know why". Several responses later it's for the reasons you mentioned.
Glad you're keeping motivated. I am finding the exercise motivation is waning and this reminds me to step it up and keep going.3 -
