In January I shed 4.6 pounds and I am ecstatic! My goal since starting my journey has been to loose 1/2 a pound to 1 pound a month and I’m right on track.
While loosing weight is one of my primary goals (along with getting off blood pressure medication), I have been steadily working on my cardiovascular endurance and toning my body. I want to enjoy working out...not just for the sake of loosing weight but to enjoy this part of my journey for the rest of my life.
For me the motivation to work out directly affects my motivation to keep track of what I eat.
I look at the changes in my body and I! CAN! NOT! BELIEVE! IT! But I wanna make sure that I don’t continue to say “well..I’m tall so I look fine with this weight”. I have said that so many times to myself. Never again. I want to be healthy. The picture below (on the left) is the first time I tried on a pair of Lululemon tights because I actually bet the store manager that I could not fit there largest size. She proved me wrong AND GAVE ME THE PAIR OF TIGHTS! On the right is me now!!
While I would love to reach my goal of a normal BMI, at my recent doctors appointment my doctor said he believes 174 may not be good for my build😬 but he likes my approach which is comforting.
My goal is to be under 230 pounds by our trip to New Orleans in March.

Hi all!
I’ve been a member for awhile but never used it’s full potential of really ever fully used it to hold my self accountable. However, that changes when I stepped on the scale after being laid up from surgery and I saw a number I never imagined possible (270). So here I am. I’ve been going for about a week now and feel committed. I followed this forum before posting as I’m so ashamed, but I finally feel able to post!! Can’t wait to be apart of this 💝

I would love see Onderland by the end of this month but realistically I am aiming to hit it by March. The middle of April will mark a year of my journey here with MFP. I would love to have lost 100 lbs by then but even if I dont ,I am still really proud of how far I have come. That is a new feeling for me. 😊 I have you all to thank for being a part of my success. Without your support and encouragement I really dont think I would have stuck with this as long a I have. Reading your successes and struggles help me realize I am not alone in this and that makes such a difference! Off to work. Have a wonderful day!22 -
Happy February!

I had a good weight loss month despite having a few week struggle with flu/bad cold. February goals include adding exercise to the dietary changes I've made. Pondering on starting C25K, but I'm not sure if my bum hip will allow it. I'm hoping to get below 200 this month!14 -
Hi Ladies,
I am new in this group (but not new to MFP) I would love to join. I need to be accountable and I hope you will allow me to be part of this group.
I am 72 yo

GW 195 (1st goal)
I am a retired widow and live with a beautiful little dog. My daily exercise is walking the dog for 1 hour and swimming 3 times a week. I hope to find some more exercise ideas I might enjoy ( Yoga??).
I have decided that with the help and encouragement of other people I (might) will stick to my lifestyle change. The foods I buy and eat are mostly healthy and I don't keep any sugar/salt snacks in my house. My problem is portions size. I don't know when to stop eating. My goal for this month is to eat what is on my plate and clean the dishes and kitchen as soon as I am done eating. My weightloss goal for Feb. is 4 lbs.16 -
@momofsookie: Honestly, a lot of the time I start the cleaning before I sit down; I dish out the food and put the extra into meal containers right then, and make sure to get the pot full of water before I sit down to my food. It means the cleanup's easier, but also that there's no "little bit more" for me to be nibbling at. (I have a mental block about nibbling out of one of the meal containers; that's a MEAL.)13

Just weighed and did my measurements for the first day of the month. I was down another 1.7 lbs this morning so the whoosh has definitely started! Getting ready to tackle a long to-do list today but I'm feeling great!
Have a great weekend, everyone!13 -
Hi everyone!
My weight loss journey has been slow, I've only lost 1.8lbs this month. But I have been hitting the gym about 5-6 days per week doing 3-4 days of weights, so hopefully I can break through a bit more this month. Hoping to lose at least 4lbs this month. MFP has me eating 1270 calories and I typically eat between 1050-1450 depending on how much I exercise that day. This month I will try and focus on hitting my macros and eating veggies where ever I can squeeze them.
SW: 209lbs
CW: 197.2 lbs
Feb Goal: 193lbs
GW#1 (from HappyScale): 187lbs

So I won't have a weight until Monday, because that is my weigh in day and I know I'm a bit bloated right now but over the course of January, I lost over ten pounds-- close to 14 actually. My weigh in last Monday put me at 212.5 lbs which means not only am I less than 13 pounds away from leaving the 200s behind (forever!), I am less than 13 pounds away from leaving the "obese" category on the BMI Chart. 200-205 is the border zone between overweight and obese for me so it's like two milestones in one!18

Right here is where I traditionally quit. I get under 200 and think I deserve a food reward that leads me right back up the scale. Not this time. I have been feeling the best I ever have - mentally, physically, and spiritually. February goals:
SW:223
CW:196
GW:150
End of month goal weight: 185
Exercise 6x a week
Track every bite, even when it isn’t perfect

In January I lost 4.6 lbs. I'm pretty happy about that considering I went for a stressful "vacation" early in January.
Highest Weight 250.0
CW - 242.5
February Goal - 236.5
Goal#1 - 182.5
To get to a dream goal by my wedding I have to lose 6.0 lbs a month. I am not sure that's going to happen. But let's aim for the stars and if I dont hit it, at least I'm a lot closer.
However, I will be happy if I'm under 200 for my wedding. Which is 4.25 lbs a month approximately.
Edited to add the last statement.18
