    In just about the same boat. A good 17-20 pounds is weight loss goal. Hoping that equals about 3% body fat. Good luck to us all!!

    My plan is to intermittent fasting (eat within 8-10 hour window and fast 16 to 12 hours) and no gluten and no sugar. Exercise at least 5 times a day (30 minutes minimum).

    25 is what I’m shooting for too! I would like to give intermittent fasting a try.

    Cool! I’m doing intermittent fasting and cutting out processed foods and sugars and exercising 5 times a week for at least 30 minutes. Kicking it into full gear on January 2!

    I am needing to drop 25 pounds. I do the 17-7 fast. I feel better eating that way. I have a love hate relationship with my vertical climber. Love doing shadow boxing and bokken swords, with my son. He taught me. Try working out at least 5 days a week. At least one hour a day. Good luck everyone.

    25 lbs would be an ideal weight for me to lose. I'm cutting out calorie filled drinks, calorie reduction and working out 3 time a week.

    25lbs would be perfect. Was pretty shocked to see my heaviest weight this month. MFP worked in the past. Ready to keep this going! Would love to connect with people here to cheer each other on!

    Well Im looking to loose 35 if I can but would be happy with 20. The older I get the harder it is to get the weight off. I am trying to make several changes in my day to day life.... more water, less soda, using the app to log my food choices. I seem to do great during the day but at night after I slow down not so good. My weakness is the chips. I love to snack and binge watch tv. (Been chewing sugar free gum at night to help me with cravings) Trying to ease back into working out again.

    Hi everyone, well the picture was taken 54 years ago, so not me today.....having just had hip replacement because of arthritis, I am determined to lose at least 25 pounds, so I reckon we'll be on this journey for about six months. I began my fitness pal a few years ago, then as usual got busy again, and re started last year after visiting a nutritionist who reminded me of it. I got very busy again this year and let it go again, but am determined, well even as I say that, I'm not sure how determined I am given my history, but it is crucial to lose the weight to help stave off further arthritic events. I wonder if anyone knows how to do a graph with all of our names on it against our weight, public posting of such would be a great help.

    Hi Louise here! I'm aiming to lose about the same, but it's stubborn and building.....so time to nip it in the bud. I'm just trying good old calorie deficit for a few weeks see how I get on. Would be interesting to follow each others journeys!

    Hi, Im Jim. My goal for 2020 is to lose 20 lbs. I got started early by joining LA Fitness and going on a diet called 14-10 diet. This allows my to eat pretty much anything for 10 hours and fast for 14 straight, I've been on this diet for 1 week and haven't weighed myself yet. I won't do so until Jan 31st.

    Not sure about tracking everyone’s weight on a graph. I’m using the phone app and I don’t think it has that functionality! Stay encouraged, your hard work will pay off!

    Wow, it must seem a formidable task to get in shape, I won’t lie to you but Christ will help you through this if you let Him! I encourage you to also consult with your doc and have your progress monitored by him! Nothing is impossible, keep the faith!

    I have 12lbs to lose but slowly getting there even though i lose a bit then gain a bit it! Add me if you want I'm 57 married and retired with a doggy hip and back that's why exercise is slow

    Yeah I lose and then I gain like a yo-yo as well so you’re not alone. I’m 41 but not for long and am going through rehab on my shoulders and feet so totally empathize with your plight. For now I’m doing a lot of Pilates rather than straight up cardio.

    I’m in! I have lost 93 pounds this year with LCHF, Keto, and IF. I have 20 more so I agree with your game plan. The last 15 they say are the hardest so I need motivation. I have a tendency to be more extreme especially with exercise. Are you saying exercise 5 times a day or a week? I totally can exercise 5 times a day but if so it would be swimming, sauna and yoga added to my more strenuous modes. I want this weight off and want to maintain it for life with the LCHF and IF lifestyle. I have only been gaining since 2003 so I will be so happy to make it goal weight!

    @squirley13 Oh wow 93 lbs! You go girl! I love swimming, I swam for 5 straight years with the masters swim team in our area but had to quit to rehab a shoulder neck issue. Now I just do that once in awhile and mostly Pilates. Yeah I meant 5 times a week! There’s no way I can do five times a day while working. I will be kicking it into full gear come January 2, after my last holiday getogether!
