Hi I am back and more or less ready to switch to maintaining, but a bit worried that adding additional calories back in will lead to weight gain so I am sticking with you all for another round though without a major weight loss goal, just accountability.
I am a grad school professor on the East Coast. 5’8” mid 50s
Height 5’8” (used to be 5’9’’ but shrunk !)

I am a 5'4" 60 year old retiree living in upstate NY. Started back up using MFP on January 3rd and have lost 43.3 lbs to date.
Thank you RubyRed427 for continuing the challenge once again!
I have truly enjoyed participating as I feel no pressure or judgement, yet these challenges really seem to help keep me motivated.
I'm going to shoot for another 15 pounds this time around. I'll be weighing in only once per week on Fridays.

Thanks for another challenge @RubyRed427
August start weight: 172.2
Challenge goal weight: 160-165 (maintenance zone)
I have been in maintenance for a short while. Just ended a long vacation and today's weigh in is my first since getting back from that trip so I'm certain most of it is water weight. Looking to get back to my maintenance range and stick to it.

Hi
I'm Angela and have been a lurker for ages.
I was 82kg at my heaviest, got down to 61kg and then slowly but surely the weight has crept back on over the last 5 years and I am 71kg as of today.
My goal is to lose 15lbs by the end of October.
I am 5ft7 and an based in the UK. Annoyingly I broke my foot last weekend when I slipped and fell, but do wonder if my weight had anything to do with it.
I am also keen to reduce my blood pressure which is pre-hypertensive.
I am 47 and a major comfort eater.
Thanks for having me.

Hello Again!
Going to give this another shot as I have ended up back to where I started back in Jan 2021!
I’m 55, female and 5feet 5 inches.
I joined this group back in January of 2021at my highest weight of 160lbs, and at the time didn’t believe it was possible for ME to lose weight. However I stuck to my program managed to get down to 150lbs in the fall of 2021.
So MFP program DOES work….. If you really stick with it and have patience.
Highest weight - 160 Jan/21
Lowest weight - 150 Fall/21
*Todays weight - 157.4 Aug 2/22*
1st Goal weight - 150 Oct 31/22
2nd Goal weight - 145 Dec 31/23
3rd Goal weight - 140 Mar 31/23
Best of success to everyone! Look forward to being on this journey again, with such a great supportive group.
