    Hi there. Just found your group and you are exactly what I'm looking for. I started the year at 210.8 and my goal is to get down to 140. Is it too late to join?

    I'm 57, 5'3", and was always under 140, save for pregnancy. Turned 50, menopause hit, had a hysterectomy ... life happens. Found myself at 210 at the end of last year and flipped the switch in January. It's slow but steady. I've just about lost 10 pounds so far, and I'm really looking forward to getting into size 16 pants.

    Apparently February is just not my month because this is week 2 with no progress and I'm getting real sick of it. I'm at deficit. I'm pushing myself to do more and do better. And nothing. I guess I'm not hitting the weight I wanted before my Disney trip. Just get me out of the 200s. PLEASE.

    Sarah, I know how you feel, i started Feb to add more exercise and lose more weight........ Well i added the exercise but the weight has remained the same the last 2 weigh ins.... Feel like giving in but will keep going and fingers crossed something will happen before the end of the month or it will be time for me to re look at my diet and change things up a bit.
    Good luck :)

    It's hard to figure out what needs to change! My fiance sat down today to make a plan. He believes I need to eat more since in pushing more and thinks my body is holding on to everything through the extra work. So I'm gonna incorporate an additional 200-300 calories (I average 1500 daily) and change up my workouts! Gove my body some extra fuel and change! I give you all my good vibes that your scale moves down next week!! We just gotta keep on pushing on through it!!!

    Go you... please keep us posted on how you go as this may be me next week if the scales dont move on Wed :(

    Total January loss:12 Lbs (finished weight 250)

    Feb. 3: 248
    Feb. 10: 248
    Feb. 17: 245
    Feb. 24: 246

    Total February loss: 4 lbs (finished weight 246)

    A little disappointed with this past week. On Wednesday I weighed myself and I was at 242 - then I got tired and was not eating well and ended up +4 pounds. I did not think I was eating that much but I guess I was. I am back from vacation and while still not feeling great, I am feeling a little better. Hopefully this will allow me to get back on track. I still lost 4 lbs for the month so that is a positive.

    On the NSV side of things - I had two full laundry baskets and I was able to piled one on top of the other and carry both up the basement stairs - without losing my breath or passing out.

    Hey everyone!!

    I'm looking to get back on track. I started at 281 around 4 years ago and got down to 148 last summer, but have regained and I'm currently around 200. I'm aiming to get healthier and strongest this year, along with the numbers on the scales going down.

    Feel free to add me, so we can support each other! :)

    Today's been physically hard with my fibro flaring, but it's all good, I'm down another pound. I'm losing a little faster than I had planned, which I'm good with but surprised by. Guess my body figured it out? (grin) We'll see, anyway

    I have a doctor's appointment April 1 and that will be an opportunity to check my weight on their scale and, well, surprise my doctor. I didn't say I was going to try, I just went off and did it after the last visit. (grin) So now that's my short-term goal. I'd like to have a good impressive loss to show her when I go in.

    I have a Dr's appointment April 2 and I had told my provider that I was going to lose twenty pounds by the next time I saw her. I can still do it but only if I don't falter.

    If nothing goes wrong, my sister has committed to exercise with me, starting tomorrow morning. I ordered a new pair of walking shoes and should receive them any day. Seriously thinking about getting Beachbody on Demand. It looks like something I would enjoy.

    I'm very proud of everyone! Keep going!

    I intend to say that I'm working on it but I don't want to tell her that I have, after that, a "fifty pounds down" goal by July 1, or anything like that. I will ask her what, medically, they consider goal weight for my height, but other than that, I am kind of keeping it private. (Well, except for you all here!) This is my personal thing, and I'm kind of shy about just putting it out there. That, and sometimes my head gets balky, and if someone in authority wants something my head doesn't want to do it. So I'm attempting to avoid that altogether.

    wsierwins3 I have kept all of you in my thoughts this week, wondering how the 1st week went for you. Feel free to come back and tell us how you did.

    I know what it's like when the scale decides to play stalemate with you, You feel like throwing that scale where the sun doesn't shine, but hang in there, don't give up. It's only the second month, we are still in the trial and error stage, we CAN do this. We just need to stop one bad food habit at a time. Picture yourself going on a hike, or walking the beach ( whichever your into ), in order to get where your going, you need to take that first step, then another, and another, until you hit that rhythm.

    I've been dealing with some rough stuff in my personal life, and as a result, haven't been logging, have been eating like crap, and hardly exercising. Thankfully things are getting back to normal. Hope everyone has a great week!

    Sorry to hear you've been having a rough time! Hang in there!
