    I started around new years (more as a birthday resolution because I'm a new years baby!) :)
    I'm down 19pounds! Which puts me at my pre-baby weight. But I've added a new goal so I'm hoping to drop 11-12 more pounds! :)

    WTG Everyone! Studies say once you stick with something consistently for 21 days, you have past the hurdle and it will become a lifestyle change!

    Yay Us for making a fabulous lifestyle change and not giving up!

    I guess I personally don't buy into the new years resolution thing...if you can't make a decision and stick with it because that is what you want, the calendar is probably not going to make a difference. Do something or don't do something.

    Sometimes the concept of 'a new year, a new you' is really what makes something click for certain people. I know people on here who started because of a new years resolution and a year-ish later are down over a 100 pounds. So maybe you don't buy into it but that doesn't mean it has never really worked for someone.

    great job - I started 1/2 - and have only lost 8.2, and that was in January. I flip flopped in Feb..so I hope I can lose some in March.

    I started this journey on 12/28/11. I wasn't real steady for a couple of weeks, but now I am serious and have lost 12 pounds. But, the thing that makes it worth it all, my clothes fit better, my moods are better, and I want to be better.

    Well done everyone, great losses and great attitudes, I think I will repost this subject in another 3 months and see how many are still going! I think that mfp and the purchase of an air fryer ( so I can still have chips now and then) has really made a difference, as has discovering these message boards and seeing what a great community is going on here!

    I'm right there with ya! 23 down, 77 to go. Started the week after and had a minor fallback for a few weeks. But I am back on track and finding MFP to be a huge factor in my success!

    And great job to everyone on their loss and dedication :D

    Hey there,
    I started on the 4 January and I have so far lost 20 lbs (9 kg)! I am almost at my goal. Only 1 - 3 kg to go! However then my aim is to put weight on with muscle! :)
    Well done everyone! Let's keep on going! :smile:

    **7 MONTHS ON- HOW ARE YOU DOING?**

    Just wanted to update this to see how everyone is doing, I can see that a lot of people who originally replied to this back in March are still going :happy:

    Congratulations everyone, you made to August, and if you aren't at goal yet you have proved that you have the staying power to get there eventually! :drinker:

    Oh and I am now at 72lb loss. Just wanted to record that so I can compare when I repost in December, hoping to be at 100lb off by then :noway:

    Awesome! I started as a NY resolution, which I had refused to do before. I guess I felt that since nobody ever seems to stick to them, neither would I. Um, that wasn't working for me.

    So, I made the resolution, and am so glad I did! My loss has been averaging 1.9 lbs a week, and 55 lbs total so far. About 50 to go!

    I wish you all the best success! Can you say kicka$$ boots for Christmas?!

    I started a couple days after New Year's.

    I am unsure of how much I exactly weighed in the left photo. When I did finally weigh myself I started MFP at 198 LBS. I weigh 150 now. My goal is 130. I am 5'6". I went from a size 18 to a size 8.

    I can't believe how helpful this website (and users) are! I hope to be using this site long after all my goals are met.

    New Years resolutioner here! :smile: Technically I started here January 4th. I started trying to lose weight the day after Christmas. I had lost 3 pounds before I accidentally stumbled upon MFP looking up reviews for the Wii Fit Plus I had received. Best accident of my life!! I have lost 58 pounds since then, and haven't lost any determination or motivation since then. In fact I'm more serious than ever now! This New Years resolution has turned into a whole lifestyle change for me and my husband. Thanks MFP :flowerforyou:

    I started January 7th weighing in at 242lbs....and hit my goal weight of 170lbs and 72lbs down in 144days on MFP. From there I took a break from calorie counting and focused on maintaining the weight loss through June and July while on vacation and just focused on the fam, but still managed to lose a addtional 15 lbs. NOW I weigh around 155lbs and I am back full force on MFP trying to hit 150lbs by the end of August :-)

    I started in January!! (not with MFP, but with working out... I stumbled upon MFP a few months later)
    Have lost about 30 pounds since January!!! :)
    Haven't had one day where I wasn't motivated to work out and eat healthy, and I feel like this is totally a sustainable way of living healthy... Don't feel like I'm denying myself anything and I have come to LOVE working out!
