Hi,

Started at 340 lbs

Current weight 255 lbs

I weigh in once a month, thats why the weight will be different

85 lbs lost so far, still have at least 65 lbs to go

I'm doing well but I still binge on occasion, don't really know how to stop that

I hope all of you are doing well also, please share your story.

    I started 11/29/11 at 260.4. Current weight is 185.7. Goal is 130, but will have to see if that is too much or not. Might look good at 150. Have to wait and see.

    So, TeddyBear, how did you lose 85 lbs. so quickly. I didnt start until Feb. 1, and have lost 34, and I eat very healthy. Just wondering? Maybe some tips from you that the rest of us can use?

    I did. Lost 18 lbs so far towards my goal of 22 by summer. Had one plateau for about 3 wks after losing the first 13. Hoping I'm able to lose the last 4 before a trip coming up in June, but if not it is because I am starting to add a little muscle. Just started doing JM 30 Day Shred to help. I'm so glad that I haven't had to completely cut out anything I love food-wiseon this adventure, just paying more attention to portions. I think I will definitely be able to sustain this :-)

    I started Jan 1, 2012...It was my new years resolution to myself after I reached my heaviest without bearing or just having a child...178 lbs...Im 5'9

    as of today, I am 133 lbs..I lost in total of 45 lbs.

    I am finished, but If I lose more without trying, I wont complain...I have to now work on the fact of getting more money for smaller clothes!!


    I have a pic but I wasnt sure if it was "that" kinda post where we were doing that

    Hi bmuff,

    You saw my starting weight so I lost 29 lbs in the 1st month (water weight)

    I eat 1500 cals a day. I don't eat my exercise calories back.

    I walk 6 days a week on the treadmil, 3.6 mph at 7 degree incline

    The big thing is I've only binged twice since I started.

    I eat turkey, cereal, yogurt, granola bars and bananas ( staples ). I eat other things too but those are almost every day.

    Good Luck to you all.

    you are all doing awesome!!! I started Jan 1st and just hit the 30lb mark today! I have 11 more to get to "normal" BMI and plan to do about 10-15more after that (which would put me at 160ish, I'm 5'9".

    Keep it up!!

    Thanks, TeddyBear, It sounds like I am doing pretty similar to what you are doing with the eating. I have a very bad back, so limited with exercise. But as far as my eating, I am usually always between 1200 and 1400 every day. So I am being very faithful to this, I have at least 46 more to lose, maybe more. We will see when I get there.

    I'm happy for you all but I'm also :( because I started relatively the same, just the end of December..

    Started at 458 and now am 434 :S

    Guess that just shows that different people have different journeys! *sigh*

    Editing because I need to remind myself that last year this time, I was 485 and struggling with a lot of pain issues, and I've done a lot to change where my abilities are. My disability is an impetus now instead of an excuse. So important to remind yourself of these things...

    I started Jan 10th because we were on vacation on Jan 1st. I have lost 23 lbs in 18 weeks. I didn't really take it seriously at first, my husband wanted to diet and I kind started with him. After a few weeks I finally decided to take it seriously.

    I started December 19, 2011 but didn’t really start logging in until January 2, 2012
    My weight at that time was 170 lbs and I am now down to 146 lbs. But before logging into MFP and seriously working out I weighed 185 lbs
