I started the second week of January. I am down 25 pounds and started in a size 14 to a size 10. For several weeks before I got serious I just logged on my food here to get an idea of what needed to change. I love mfp0

I started the beginning of January my ticker shows the amount of weight I've lost. I've gone from a 22 pant to a 16, a XXL shirt to a L and weirdly enough from a 42 DD to a 38 DDD (I know really really weird there). I feel great and can't wait to get farther on my goal.
Good luck everyone and great job with staying dedicated!0 -
I didn't refocus on 1/1 because I didn't want to be one of those that is done by 1/15. So I started 1/11 at 244 and am down to 219!! 25 lbs! Oh yeah!!0

I started January 2 at 189 pounds. Weighed in today at 164...25 pounds down! and 17 more to go. Good luck everyone!0

I didn't start myfitnesspal until the end of January when my friend turned me on to it. I had been trying to follow Bethenny Frankel's plan prior to myfitnesspal with little results (She has good ideas if you are already skinny and want to stay that way.) Anyway, except for a few setbacks caused by not exercising enough and making bad choices in the evenings, I've done pretty well. Had I been more faithful to documenting throughout the evening and sticking to it, I probably would have made better progress. However, I'm pretty pleased with my weight loss so far!

I started January 1, 2012 @ 198.8, my last weigh in last week I was at 177, but today I'm at 174.6...but since my actual weight day is Thursday, I'm not counting it yet. And I TOTALLY agree that slow and steady wins the race!!!0

I've lost 13.5 pounds since the beginning of the year. My goal is to lose 5.5 more. I'm trying to focus more on building muscle now. I've dropped almost two sizes (I'm in between an 8 and a 10 now), so I'm ready to get the rest of it off because most of my pants and jeans are too big for me now, but I'm not going to buy anything until it fits me right!0

Started in December just starting to exercise. I started at 190 then. When I joined this site on January 4, which is when I started really tracking things I was 185. I have lost 23 pounds since January 4. My tops are getting looser. My pants are looser. Some things I can go down in size for but not all pants. Part of that is my waist hasn't gone down a whole lot. I am working on that.0

Lost 9 lbs since the beginning of January (155 down to 146, I'm 5'7"), but more what's exciting to me is that I lost the weight employing a sustainable plan. I don't feel like a gym rat or like I can never have potato chips again, so even though my weight loss is slower than my previous attempts at losing weight, I love that I did it by making a lifestyle change I can stick with.
Great job! I'm down 14 pounds and am doing it the same as you - with lifestyle changes I will be able to sustain this time. My eating has cleaned up considerably, and I do work out more than I used to, but I'm doing both in a long term sustainable way and I won't need to change anything once I reach my goal weight. Slow and steady wins the race!0 -
Started January 1st at 170 and I am now at 155. I have dropped from size 16 to a 12. My goal weight is 135 so I still have a little way to go0

I'm down 14 lbs and 1 pant size. It seems like its taking forever tho!0
-
I didn't start until January 30th at 210.4lbs.
I have lost 18.6 lbs and I'm just starting to notice my jeans getting loose, tops are fitting about the same I think. These last couple of pounds before I lose 20 total seem to be a beast but I'm going to keep pushing.0 -
I think I've lost 20lbs.0

I started January 26th at 196lbs. As of today I'm down to 156lbs (-40lbs).0

I started Jan 10th at 160.6 and now weigh 148.6! 12 lbs down and I've lost 9.25 inches all over! I went home for the first time since Christmas this weekend and everyone noticed my weight loss! I'm trying to keep the motivation up!0

I started just prior to Jan 1st. I began at 260. I'm not jumping between 242-237lbs. (Just under 20lbs lost, but I'm hoping to make that benchmark tomorrow on my weigh in day) I have gone an entire pants size. Mostly it's the little NSV things that have me excited. I have more energy, my mood is better, I can see my collarbone for the first time in years, my confidence is high enough that I've started to see a new guy... but I still struggle with self image and all the same things that were issues when I was at my heaviest. (I lost 30lbs last year, without MFP) It's a work in progress, but I'm feeling good about the progress I've made so far.0

i took my weight Jan 1st and was 305.6
i am now 299.2 ( i didn't start really trying till the last couple weeks)
i have an average of .5 pound a week (without really trying) im happy with that
now i am kicking it up and plan to try for 2 pound a week average for the next few months, then im switching back to 1 pound a week for a while (this is lifestyle change for me , not just a temp diet)0 -

Down 18.5 pounds, and 1 pant size. I plateaued early on and lost a little momentum in February. I took a weekend off and lo-and-behold, the weight started coming off again when I kicked it back up the next Monday. March has seen the best results so far, although this week I'm retaining a little bit of muscle-repair water weight after adding in more exercise (Fluctuating up/down by 1-2lbs). This has been the month of "Dang...you're losing weight. Good job!" and several NSV's! If I hit another plateau, I will try what worked in February. But it takes 21 days to start a new habit. I've definitely made MFP and calorie counting a habit. Now I am trying to add exercise and water consumption something I seriously do habitually.0

Wow what a great thread! Congrats to everyone! New Years resolution or not I think there is a lot to be said about everyone's accomplishment in such a short period of time. About me, I started Jan 4th at 204 pounds. I am now down 28 pounds to 176. My total lost goal is 69 pounds. Good luck everyone! I would love to see another update from everyone in June!0

Totally with you. I feel like I should have achieved more loss. I'm down between 15 and 13. But my clothes are falling off. That's pretty awesome.0

I started January 3rd at 195, I've lost 21 lbs and weighed in at 174 this week. Almost halfway to my goal!0

I was 221.5lbs on January 2nd, & I'm currently 196lbs, so down 25.5lbs since January! Wow, when you put it that way, I'm quite proud.0

I actually started Dec 17th. 163 lbs down to 138.4, nearly 25 lbs in exactly 95 days.
Moderate calorie deficit, lifting heavy 3 times a week, walking the dog and maybe elliptical once a week.
I've gone from a size 13/14 to a size 6/80 -
Down 10lbs since January 2nd :bigsmile: Almost halfway to my goal!
I've only just started to notice a difference visually though.0 -
