    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.

    Weight: 152

    Favorite Calorie Burning Activity: I love weight lifting. I don't enjoy cardio, but I do it because I know it's necessary to reach goals 😝
    Biggest Challenge to meeting your Goals: Eating when I'm not even hungry.
    A Guilty Pleasure: cheesy romantic comedies

    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?!?

    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.


    Weight:224
    Goal by 12/31/19: 205 (going to make my goal by the 24th of dec)
    More important that then number on the scale... feel comfortable in my own skin again and recognize my reflection.

    Favorite Calorie Burning Activity: Hiit workouts and walks in the woods.
    Biggest Challenge to meeting your Goals: Food and getting distracted by life and all the musts and being social.
    A Guilty Pleasure: Chocolate and ice cream.

    I'm 6'1'' and 43 years old (it's so much harder loosing weight now days).

    Good luck everyone!

    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 now

    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!

    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.
