    Start: 191
    Goal for Feb 1: 183
    Finishing weight goal: 140

    If I do the math correctly, and if I want to make it to 140 pounds and I can safely do this losing 8 pounds/month, then it will take me just over six months. (191-51=140 and 51/8=6.4) However, I have heard that the pounds will be harder to work off the more weight I lose, so maybe I should adjust for months 3-6 or something? Anybody have any insight?

    Yep! The smaller you get, it is often harder to lose the weight. Then people tend to get frustrated that the weight isn't coming off as fast or as well as it did before. People often hit a stall. It often just takes a little bit of tweaking in regards to your calorie/carbs/proteins/etc and varying your exercise routine. People also often forget that as you work out, you build muscle and muscle is heavier than fat. So you may be leaner, but the scale isn't budging and that's another way people can get discouraged!

    By the way...your stats/goal are really close to mine!
    I'm starting at 188 (after having my baby) and I'd like to get to 180 by Feb 1. My finishing goal is 140, too!

    Hi Everybody!

    Starting weight on 01/02/12
    251.1

    Goal is to lose 10 lbs. by February!

    I'm confident that this is attainable. I gained 3 lbs. in 3 weeks over the holidays :( so it's pretty clear that I can't stop paying attention, even a little bit. I was all the booze and sugar I would assume...

    Good luck everyone!

    Starting weight, at the beginning of January (since I've been logging, anyway): 157
    Goal weight: 130

    I'd like to lose 10 lbs by February, but would be happy with 7 or 8! Ten pounds in a month is more than I've ever lost, but I'd like to take a shot at it!
