I started Jan 1st. I'm 5'2". My highest weight this month was 164.4lbs and my lowest weight 161.6lbs. It's not much and it's too early to declare a success story but it's nice seeing the small progress. I had lost over 37 pounds in 2017 and gained most of it back. So now I'm working on getting back to my lower weight before my trip to Europe this year. I prefer the slow weight loss approach so that I can maintain it when I reach my goal without any drastic lifestyle changes. CICO works! I agree with the saying, "If you can measure it, you can manage it"


Good luck all!

What works best for you is best. The key to a very slow decline is being diligent in staying in decline. A smaller caloric deficit is easily defeated by break out days. I’m not going as low (fast) as the MyFitnessPal recommended intake to lose weight. 1250 calories for a man seems too low. I’m at 1500 and still losing. But I’m staying at that 1500 religiously. I went over once by a few hundred calories. 30 days in and I’ve lost 9 lbs (222 to 213). I’m sure I would have lost several more at 1250/day, but I would be prone to binge eating as I’d be hungry all the time.
