    I started December 26, 2011. Started at 219 and was at 208 on my last weigh in. A trip to NYC last week set me back a little bit, but we'll see where I am on Friday and go from there.

    15 pounds down and another 18 to go, and I started 1/6 because this wasn't a resolution, I just finally had enough

    I started on Jan 9. I have lost 20.1 lbs as of today. At Christmas my clothes were uncomfortably tight and now they are loose. I can put my jeans on right out of the drier and I don't have to wiggle into them. I have not switched sizes yet, but I think I have probably went down 1 size. Progress is slow, but steady. Losing weight post pregnancy this time has been a challenge and frustrating at times. I too, wish I would have done measurements when I started my journey but I didn't. My husband says he really notices the weight loss, but when I look in the mirror I don't notice that much change. I still have a long way to go. I'm glad to see that I'm losing at the average rate.

    Wow - there are some HUGE losses posted since Jan 1st. I'm a big proponent of slowe and steady wins the race. For those who are pacing at more than 2 pounds lost per week, what's your secret and can you maintain it long term?

    I am looking to see where other people are with their weightloss since starting at the begining of the year.

    I weighed 183 Jan 1st - I am down to 173 today (171 a couple of days ago). I would like to know how far others have come. I am also down one pants size.

    I'm wondering if I should be losing more.

    I weighed 166lbs on 1st January 2012, I went down to 147.6, put on two and a half pounds in the two weeks I went away on holiday. It is my first week back after the holiday, so my next weigh-in is Sunday.

    My wife gave each other a gym membership for Xmas and we started using MFP and using the gym on 12/31. I am down 25 lbs so far, with a long way to go yet. My wife is down nearly as much. I look forward to the time that my BMI goes from Obese to just overweight, then finally, normal.

    the basic answer is no. have slowed the weight loss down to 1lb a week now, as i was losing the weight mostly (i think) from my legs, when of course its the stomach i want to get rid of now.
    Anyway been on MFP since jan and have lost 21lb since then:happy:

    I started February 1. I wanted to avoid all of the extra people at the gym due to New Years resolutions. I'm down 21 so far.

    Jan 1 I weighed 200 lbs, and I'm currently around 175, hovering there for whatever reason.
    Went down from an 18 to a 14 in dress pants.

    I'm usually under my cals and I work out for an hour a day.

    I started the second week of January at 222 pounds as of yesterday I am at 202 pounds. 20 pounds in a little over 2 months, while still taking care of my 3 kids and fiance and house, I think is a pretty good job myself. Good luck in your journey everyone!

    I started 12/28 and as of last Thursday I'm down 12 lbs. I'm expecting to be done another lb tomorrow so I'll be at 13 lbs lost. Very happy with the pace. Enjoying exercise and basically eating and drinking what I want to - within my calorie limit.

    I'm down 24.6 lbs so I'm 1/3rd the way to my goal!

    SW: 198 lbs.
    CW: 173.4
    GW: 133

    I measure inches just once every 10 lbs so not sure what my inches are to date. Today I'm wearing a skirt with my shirt tucked in! So amazing. I swear the process of losing weight does wonders for your esteem.

    My secret- eat less, exercise more hee hee.:laugh: I work out 6 days a week- sometimes twice a day. Mix of cardio and weight lifting. I don't eat back my exercise cals and I focus on whole foods. 3-4 veg, 2-3 lean protein (chicken, fish, or turkey), 2 max fruit, 2 max carbs. Feel free to add me if you need support. :flowerforyou:

    This thread is making me smile! :smooched:

    i started at 145 around jan 15th and just weighed in at 137 this past weekend. only about 8 pounds so far, but pretty much on pace with the one pound a week plan. i fell off the MFP wagon for a few weeks in mid-february, and even though i thought i was being healthy, i didn't lose any weight! it really reminded me how much the accountability component of MFP helps.

    ps i'm so impressed with how much progress so many people have made!!!
