Height: 5'7"
SW: 254 (4/7/19)
End of 2019 Weight: 246.7
Jan GW: 240
1/3- 245.1 (-1.6)
1/10-245 (-0.1)
1/17-243.9 (-1.1)
1/24-
1/31-
Final GW: 165 (then reevaluate)
Overall, I did much better this past week! I made sure to drink at least 60 ounces of water a day and did a good job of staying within my calories for at least five of the days. If I can do all of that for seven days straight now, I should record a bigger loss on the 24th!
Happy Friday everyone!7 -
Weighed in at 201.6 this morning.
I'm so close it's agonizing lol. In the grand scheme of things it's just one more pound out of many, but on a smaller scale, hitting goal markers is satisfying as heck. After that, the next big goal is 185. That one marks the line between obese and overweight for my height.13 -
Congratulations @bluffgirl67! You have been steadfast. So happy for you!!5

wow @bluffgirl67 well done on the onderland!! and looks like @terytha will be joining you there soon!! Great work on the water drinking @Tarzan37, you're on the way to getting into the habit of it and then you'll drink it automatically. Can't reply to everyone so thought I would start getting in the habit of trying to reply to the last three people as a start so hopefully over time I will give everyone a thumbs up!
As for whoever said about weigh in days, I weigh daily but monday is the official day.9 -
I just decided to actually make use of my MFP account with my old method not helping to keep me accountable... so I'm quite late to the party with my post, but here is goes!
SW and CW: 245
My New Years Resolution is to make overall healthy changes and not focus on my weight number so much. I spent so much of last year on the scale and it yo-yo'd so much that I'm, again, almost at my starting weight for 2019.7 -
@bluffgirl67 YOU ROCK!!! And all of your amazing stories are really motivating. Thank you all for sharing. And keep going, you will reach your goals.8

Welcome back girl! Small sustainable changes... that’s what I keep saying to myself over and over again.5 -
I read all your comments, I’ve no idea how you people reply to everyone in one big long post!
I’m having a rough day. My blood sugar levels were low in the night, I woke up hypo having had bad sleep and I feel crappy (t1 diabetic). I’ve walked the dog once, need to go again soon before it’s pitch black outside and then I’ve an appointment at 7.30pm to quote for some work. Think I’m coming home to bed after, I don’t want to fall off this MFP wagon!
Hope you’re all having a good day folks xx11 -
Weekly Check-In:
SW: 275 (September 2019)
CW (Dec 31): 233
Jan 10: 227.8 (-5.2 lb/month)
Jan 17: 224.2 (-8.8 lb/month)
Jan 24:
Jan 31:
January goals:
1-Make it to 50 lb total loss (225 lbs). Did it! 224.2 lbs
2- Keep my sodium intake under goal 6 out of 7 days/ week. 5/7 This one definitely needs work.
3- Get more steps in. Need to work on this one. I averaged around 7100 per day.
Overall it was a good week with a couple of NSV's. Besides hitting 50 lbs lost, I finally had someone notice/got my first comment from a family member who didn't already know I was trying to lose weight. And I finally was able to go down a jean size! (My jeans have been loose for a while but the smaller sizes I could find at the thrift store didn't fit at the waist. But I finally found some this week!)15 -
@Aerohead21 Choosing to eat only two cookies was a great decision. Have you thought about checking iron level etc to see if that is why you aren't feeling well? You've got a lot coming up so hoping you can find a solution soon.
@torihudson6 Sorry you are stressing right now. You are doing amazing with your kickboxing workouts. The scales probably will reflect the change in workout but that's fine. The drop will come. Keep working and kicking it out.
@rhaiin Great loss for the week! You can reach that goal.
@Tarzan37 Congrats on a very nice loss! Sticking with your goals is really paying off.
@Terytha All the work you are putting in will be showing up on the scale soon. You've got this!
@fitchick37 I'm sorry you aren't well and had a crappy night. Hopefully you can have a good night's sleep. Then take advantage of the weekend to rest and recharge. Hang tight and you'll be riding this wagon to your goals. Hugs
@CLAWSMITH Whoop Whoop!! Congrats on losing 50lbs and a great loss for the month already. Having someone notice how hard you've been working must have felt great. I bet your are rocking those new jeans and even more people will start to notice the changes.
Thanks everyone for helping me celebrate Onederland. @aliciap0116 pointed out I hit it on my 100th log in day so that's pretty cool. I can stretch just a little further today so maybe by Monday I can be back to normal. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Hi all! Doing my weekly weigh-in. I'm on my phone so this is going to be a very short post! I can't type very well and I'm currently talking to text right now 😆
I am going out of town this weekend and I am fully prepared! Still a little bit of anxiety but I really want to enjoy it! We have plans to do a lot of activity! Main reason I'm going is to play "hunt a killer". I go up to my best friend's once a month to play and I'm very excited!
I'm only going to post my weight goals and not my non scale goals... but did pretty good with those this past week. Except for the exercise as always ... but I did go a couple times so to me that's a success!
Show a loss this week which is great!
January goals – weigh in on Fridays
OW – 276.6
Starting weight for January - 252.2
January GW – 246.2 (6lbs)
1/10 – goal 250.7 – 248.8 – I had gained some over the holidays, so it really is only a 1lb loss for me technically
1/17 – goal 249.2 - 247.4
1/24 – goal 247.7
1/31 – goal 246.2
I've been reading everybody's posts! Great job! I'm going to try and do a reply post everybody next week!
Hope everyone has a wonderful and healthy weekend!8 -

@bluffgirl67 Congrats!!!! All your hard work has paid off, I'm so happy for you
@mmccloy12 I have a gathering with some female friends to celebrate one of our own getting engaged. Like you I am excited but also a little bit anxious because I don't want to fall back into old habits. Like you, I am planning ahead which should help with those decisions. Hope you enjoy your weekend
@CLAWSMITH Other people noticing is the best. I can't wait for that. Its usually the 20 pound mark for me when people start to notice
@Terytha you are almost there!!! How exciting
@tarzan37 Nice loss!
The weekend is here!!! Hope everyone has a good one. I plan on keeping up what I've been doing, logging my foods and getting some hikes in to add to my mileage.10 -

Tomorrow is "2nd Christmas"! My family lives in three states and so we try to get together in January instead of December because all of our lives have settled down. Well that means I will be tempted with stuffing, potatoes, homemade bread, pie, cookies, and fudge....😖 I will probably go ahead and enjoy the day, but I will feel guilty about it.7

Happy Friday everybody!!
Official weigh-in day for me:
SW: 201.4 (1/6)
1/10: 200.8
1/17: 198.2
1st GW: 190
UGW: 140
I'm very happy with the results so far. But, the weekend is coming and that's the hard part to navigate. I will keep trying to figure out how to not destroy my results. The good thing is, I'm becoming very mindful of eating more healthy things during the week. I've bought lots of fruits and veggies, and also snacks that will keep me satisfied in between meals. Love reading everybody's posts, gives me ideas I can use in my life.
Have a wonderful weekend everybody!!9
