GW: 170
Goals: 12 this month, 6 per month after.
This month so far I have lost 9 pounds, and have been stuck there for three days. I oh so want to say I have lost 10... that would make my day!
I am tall, so all it has done for me so far is that my pants are still too tight but I am no longer afraid my button is going to fly off and kill someone. But I will take it! :-) I REFUSED to buy the next size up, but I do have 4 pairs of work pants in the next size down waiting in my closet. I figure another 20 and I can fit into them, and they will be good for the next 30 pounds lost!
My trick is portion control and counting calories for this stage of the game. I am pretty much eating what I want, but being smart about what I choose with a few little treats thrown in. My maple creamer in my coffee in the morning to get me going, and my Skinny Cow truffle bar at night if I have been good. Maybe a beer or glass of wine for dinner. Good being around 1500-1600 for the day after all is said and done.
I tried a very low calorie diet under a doctor's supervision (1200 calories), but after 30 pounds the scale refused to budge any more. Three months later I gave up, and eating normally put most of it back on - then the combination of breaking up with my boyfriend of 6 years and the holidays made me put on another 15. This time I am going to succeed! And give myself a little leeway in the beginning so I have something to give up the next time the scale sticks. And I am going to take advantage of not having a feeder around trying to sabotage my progress.
Good luck everyone!0 -

Good Morning MFPals,
I have finally gotten that ticker to move in my favor. YEAH!! It shows I have to do a bit more than just cut portions , I have to watch my Carbs and Fats. I'm pretty sure I knew that already, but was still trying to get away with it. Wishing Great Luck to everyone.
We CAN
DO THIS!!!
Some of this was Water weight.

I'm only going to post weight 1x/week. My plan is to weigh every Monday morning, after I go potty, before I get into the shower. That's what I did last week to get my starting weight of 269. This morning I weighed in at 263... a 6 lb loss in 1 week!!! Sweet Jesus, that's beautiful! Here's the thing: I've eaten 1500 calories or more pretty much every day except one day I had about 1900 and had one total binge day where I ate like 2500 calories. The only things I've done is CUT CARBS. It's amazing! I, honest to God, did NOT think it would work, but so far, so good! I hope everyone else is having a good goal week!

A pound is a pound and that's one pound you don't have to carry with you wherever you go. Every day you try builds healthy habits that will get you to your long term goals and keep you there. 0 -

Lost 6 lbs so far this month.
Goal for January: 10 lbs.
I met my goal for the month last week. Thinking about changing weigh in days, though. I'm going to try for 5 more pounds lost by February 1st for a total of 15.

I lost 3 pounds this week. That was so unexpected! I did a little dance even!
I was scared to step on the scale this morning. I haven't been doing very well with eating because I've been sick. So here it is:

The only thing I can contribute my 2.5 pounds loss to is that I didn't have any pop last week. I'm actually feeling a bit better today and I hope to get back to the gym tomorrow.0 -

Way to go! Every pound loss is still a loss! Glad you are feeling better!0 -
I dont have any loss for this week, as yesterday was my weigh-in day. I've got some cramping this morning so I think I'm about to start ToM and I'm feeling a little bloated.
So hopefully I'll see more next week and be able to start Feb off right!0 -

Wonderful job! I see that the both of us are trying to lose around the same amount of weight.0 -

I started working out more, taking the stairs, and parking further away from stores. All of these things made a huge difference!0 -

A whole pound of fat if GONE! Try to visualize what a pound of fat looks like and you may feel differrent. Keep trying and you will soon see the results.0 -
My short term goal was to get past my first plateau and hit the 10 pounds lost mark. I made it !!! WOOT!!! Now my next goal is to be down 12 by the end of the month.0

Yeah I hate when I get bloated. But when its over you see the real results and it makes hanging in the there worth it!0 -

Yes we are!! And thanks, we should be friends and encourage each other!0 -
I like to go to the store, and put a pound of butter in my cart for every pound I have lost. Push it around a little bit if you like! I put it back afterwards, of course, but it is pretty cool to be able to visualize EXACTLY how much fat I used to have on my body... and sometimes you need that visual, especially at first when it is "only" 10 or 15 pounds. Seems like after that it feels like a real achievement so I don't need the butter trick anymore. lol0

That is the best Idea, I've seen. I'm going to do that, maybe it will help me keep off this 11 lbs. I'm always losing and gaining it back later on.0 -
My January goal was ten pounds... and TODAY I reached it!!!!! And learned the sad fact that when you lose weight, your daily calorie goal is reconfigured.
Bummin' a bit about having to cut about 150 calories out somehow... but yeah!!! 0 -

Well, I lost the 5 more pounds that I wanted to lose by 2/1, so let's try for 2-3 more by my next weigh in on 2/1!0 -
WOW!!! I am impressed! I am thrilled ot see so much success, it's motivational and fun. My week was slow, but successful. Another 2 lbs gone! I'm right on track for meeting my long-term goals and it's starting to feel more like a habit than a chore. 0
