Looks like you're having a successful January @tiabirdie56. It's likely you won't hit that ambitious goal, but still, you're doing well. Keep it moving that direction; keep it in deficit; keep up the movement. You can do this.

Thank you @mtaratoot. January seems to be successful, so far. Still 11 days left. Lol. If only I could exercise like I want to! I will always do as much as I can.
Oh, and concerning my goal, it is always in 10lb increments. I don't change it until I reach that number. It's a goal for the month, but with no grand expectations in 30 days time. If I lost 10lbs in a month, I'd be worried.4 -

The snacking will take a longer time to control but my husband will also be helping me keep an eye on it.
FYI: I have adjusted my ultimate goal because when I hit 118 last month, I realized that I still wanted to try to lower my body fat to a normal range. I have been back and forth with 33% and 34% for about a month. My goal is 30% and we will see what happens. I tend to carry my weight around my waist and hips.

January results for Challenge: xxxxx
01-189.2 Off to a nice start. Happy new year everyone! Thanks to Tish for helping keep this going and a nice big welcome back to Samantha. I hope a lot of the personal issues have been resolved. {{hugs}} to you!
08 –190.6 Went up higher than this, then back down. Got to keep things going a little more steady/consistent in the New Year. Time for me to kick butt and take names!
15 – 189.7 It’s been a long road getting back down to this. My oh my, what a week it has been for my diabetes and weight gain! My goal this month was 187. I think I can do it!
22 - 189.6 Went way up and then back down again this week. Absolutely nothing stable going on right now for me. I continue the brave fight!

UPDATE JAN 21st: I'm still eating well but I definitely miss the fast weight loss I had at the beginning. I'm running a 5k every other day and walking a 3k to 5k on days I'm not running in addition to whatever I do at work.
Slow weight loss now but I feel the best I have in years.
ORIGINAL POST:
Hello everyone any happy new year. I started trying to lose weight by changing my eating habits and exercise. I got a one month start on my new years resolution and started in December. My very first run I feel like I only made it 100m before I couldnt breathe(December 3rd). Yesterday I ran a 5k without stopping and am very happy with my results so far.
UPDATE: jan 14th
I bumped my run up to a 7k run and my weight loss has slowed down but it is steady. I haven't given in the constant pizza and donuts at work and have been eating healthy for almost 2 months now. No alcohol in almost 3 weeks and my energy level is through the roof. I think my personal goal of 230 by the end of January is obtainable.

5’4” female 42yrs old
SW 242
Goal- 121 (literally half my size)
Ultimate Goal- maintain under 130 forever!
January goal- 146
01/01- 151, I was out of town on a carb binge that spiked me up to 158!!
01/07- 149.2
01/14- 148
01/23- 148 nothing wrong with that! I did see a 146 number and even a dehydration 144.4, I think if I focus for the next week I will get a whoosh and hit my January goal for reals. I’m pretty happy that I’ve stayed under 150 and I’m seeing real progress. Finish this month strong!6
