    I set a goal of 60 lbs on January 5th. 60 lbs would put me around 155 - just out of the "overweight" category. So anyway, I will probably try to lose more than that, but initially, I'm going for 60.

    As of this morning, I've lost 29 lbs so far - thiiiiiis close to the 1/2 way mark.


    You CAN do it! I have to think about it EVERY day and plan ahead. But I feel great, am looking better, and am totally motivated to lose the other 30!

    I have lost 171 pounds. I have maintained that loss for three and a half years. I am working now to keep it off. I have lost that much twice. This time I am determined that I will not gain it back a second time. When the scales go up a little I get busy and lose what I have gained. I know this will be something I will have to watch for the rest of my life.

    I joined MFP in October '07 and have lost 66 pounds and over 40 inches. I've already passed my original goal which was just enough to put me in the "healthy" BMI range so I've added another 13 pounds to my goal. :drinker:

    I started in Jan. with a goal of losing 20 pounds and I just hit it this weekend! And I dropped 2 sizes too. I was hoping to wear some old summer clothes from a few years ago and they're too big! Even my swimsuit is baggy. This site is awesome!
    Some things I've learned:
    You can eat a lot of food when you make good choices.
    Have a treat once in awhile - it won't mess up your progress, just make sure it's ONE treat.
    You can't do this for anyone but yourself.
    Slow and steady wins the race.
    There will be weeks you don't lose anything, it's okay.
    Eat your calories and drink your water.
    You will never, never say to yourself, "Boy, I sure wish I had eaten that cookie yesterday!" but you will say the opposite.
    Good luck everyone - you Can do it!

This site has been my savior, LOVE IT and will continue to use it for all the support and motivation.

    I started this site, and my lifestyle change, last November. In 4 months I have gone from 182 to 150 (32 lbs!). I still have about 10-15 lbs to hit my goal. Originally I set my goal of 30lbs lost for 6 months and 40-45 lbs for 9 months but I am way ahead of schedule!! The longer you stick with this site the easier it becomes. You will have food facts coming out your ears!

    :happy: Official school weigh in today- I lost 4.5 since last Wed. I feel pretty good even after the class walking trip to McDonalds and playing kickball with them (I was the pitcher) Right now it is easy to be motivated because I have my students to walk with or walking field trips- I worry about after school is out- I will still have Taekwondo but I know that it is the extra activities that is a big factor.

    One of my students would say "Happy!":flowerforyou:

    I started on January 31st and lost about 8 pounds. I was already in a healthy BMI so the weigh has been coming off very slowly.
