so this post is designed for each of us to post our starting weight/measurement/starting ???whatever???
no one has to use weight or measurements if they dont' want to. everyone's goals are different.

With that in mind, post away!

Also you can enter information in our spreadsheet if you'd like (you dont have to):

    I originally started at nearly 300 pounds (297 to be exact)

    For this...my SW (11/26/11) 189 lbs
    Week 2 (12/03/11) xxx lbs
    Week 3 (12/10/11) xxx lbs
    Week 4 (12/17/11) xxx lbs
    Week 5 (12/24/11) xxx lbs
    Week 6 (12/31/11) xxx lbs
    Week 7 (1/7/12) xxx lbs
    Week 8 (1/14/12) xxx lbs
    Week 9 (1/21/12) xxx lbs
    Week 10 (1/28/12) xxx lbs
    Week 11 (2/4/12) xxx lbs
    Week 12 (2/11/12) xxx lbs
    Week 13 (2/18/12) xxx lbs
    Week 14 (2/25/12) xxx lbs
    End Weight (3/4/12) xxx lbs (want to loose about a pound a week so hoping for around 175 total weight by the end of this..which was my original goal when I started this journey)


    I really want to start exercising. I travel a lot for work, and it becomes so easy to go back to the room and sit at the computer and work...I need to focus on myself more so that I can be around for my family for a long time!

    I also want to stay away from sugar. I did really great for a really long time, but I have been slipping back into some old habits that I must break immediately before I undo all I have done!!

    I am glad I found this site..I hope it offers support, and I hope I can offer my support to others as well!!

    Hi there! I just joined this group - this is my first group on here to join... really hoping for some motivation to get me through the holidays with *fingers crossed* maintaining or hopefully losing weight! My goal is to lose about 25 pounds total and I know it's gonna be a tough road for me. So, thanks in advance for the encouragement!

    My goals/plan:

    SW (11/26/11) 155 lbs
    Week 2 (12/03/11) xxx lbs

    Week 5 (12/24/11) xxx lbs goal =149#
    Week 6 (12/31/11) xxx lbs
    Week 7 (1/7/12) xxx lbs
    Week 8 (1/14/12) xxx lbs
    Week 9 (1/21/12) xxx lbs
    Week 10 (1/28/12) xxx lbs goal=142
    Week 11 (2/4/12) xxx lbs

    Week 13 (2/18/12) xxx lbs
    Week 14 (2/25/12) xxx lbs
    End Weight (3/4/12) xxx lbs goal = 135

    Goals:

    - Exercise moderate-hard intensity at least 4 days per week
    - Do a walk or SOMETHING exercise-oriented to get moving every day
    - Keep NET calories under 1100 (exercise increases available calories)
    - Disney World Trip (12/11-12/19) - Maintain weight lost through trip
    - Christmas (12/24-25) - Eat in moderation for all 3 meals (eve, lunch, supper)
    - Birthday (12/30) - Eat 1 "fun" splurge of a meal, eating OUT so I don't have any leftovers (order a slice of cake - don't bake a whole one!)
    - Other "special days" (new years, valentines, etc) - choose only one meal to splurge at
    - Lose 20 pounds in 14 weeks to be within a few pounds of my pre-wedding/goal weight
    - Keep posting in the discussion forum - ya'll keep me accountable!

    Ultimate Goal Weight: 130 by my birthday 7/24/2012

    I'm shooting for two pounds a week as an aggressive goal...aggressive is the only way I can take things on. Here are some other goals:

    Drink between 64 and 85 ounces of water a day
    Eat at least 2 cups fruit and 2 1/2 cups vegetables each day
    Focus on nutrition, not calories
    Work out at least 5 days a week for 30-60 minutes at a time

    I'll have more goals later on because my dietitian will have more for me. Thanks. Good luck everyone!

    I'm still not entirely sure what my goals are. I'd like to be in "one"derland for the first week of January, but not sure if that is reasonable (especially with the holidays and all HAHA).

    SW 209lbs. The main thing is that I want to see my measurements continue to go down, at least a total of a couple inches a week for a while. :D

    Starting weight is 172 lbs...managed to stay at that weight for about the last 10 days. Based on the fact that the holidays are a tough time to lose weight, I would be happy to get to 170 by Jan 1st. Then I would like to lose an additional 1 to 2 lbs per week through the spring of 2012. My birthday happens to be 3/9 so I would like to be down to 160 lbs by that point. That would be 10 lbs of weight loss in about 10 weeks. I just need to keep tracking and squeeze in as much exercise as possible.
