    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.

    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.

    Great job!!!!

    I started the 12th of January 2012 and I'm down 50lbs!

    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

    I came back to MFP on February 2, 2012, I am 45 years old. I started at 287, I am currently at 242.5 with at least 42.5 more to go to reach my goal. Some cardio, some weights, counting calories every day, I sometimes indulge in sweets, but I always count it and work to stay under my caloric limit each day.

    I started on about January 5th and since then I've lost around 15lbs, plus 2.5 inches off my waist and a totally better attitude to life in general :D

    Wow, everyone is doing amazing!! I feel like I'm slacking! I started paying attention (again) in January, around the 2nd week, I was back up at 205, I am now sitting at 194 and fighting. I work out 5-6 days a week, cardio 3-4 days and strength training 2 days. I've always had problems with my eating, but I've started using MFP regularly again and seem to stay within the 1500 calorie range per day. I do feel stronger and that I have more energy, but what else do I need to do? Or what am I not doing?? Every year I say I want to be "smaller" for summer, but summer's around the corner and I don't feel like I've done a whole hell of a lot.

    I started watching what I was eating right after Thanksgiving, and found MFP right after the first of the year. I'm down about 31 pounds from last summer (which was the last time I weighed before starting), and was below my goal weight for the first time yesterday. I plan to continue to log my food as I work now toward reshaping my body--building muscle and hopefully losing a little more body fat.

    I started my weight loss journey on my birthday this year (January 11). My starting weight was 384 pounds and now I am at 296. 88 pounds gone! It's amazing how much more energy I have, been walking around three miles 4-5 times a week! Definitely wished I would have discovered MFP years ago, this is a great site with very supportive people! :smile:

    Started at 165
    Currently 130

    I've lost over 20 inches!

    I think I would've lost more but I had surgery last month. Hoping to jump back on the wagon soon!

    I've logged in every day this year. Have lost about 10kgs in that time (22lbs), but it has been sporadic.
    I'm happy with what I've done so far though.
