    I think I'm on track. Well, I feel like I am anyway. I started in January actually giving this a shot, and I've lost 20 lbs, about 3% body fat and gone from a size 14 to a size 10. I think I'm a little less than halfway to my goal really, although my body fat percentage isn't going down as quickly as I'd hoped. My final goal is to be around 20% body fat (last I checked I was at 31%) so whatever weight I am/size I am when I get there is my goal. I want to be super fit and healthy, and to feel like I fit my frame properly. At 5'3" with a very small frame, I still feel very heavy at 148 lbs.

    Don't let it get to you. The single most attractive woman I've ever seen in my life weighs approx. 135-140 at 5'3." Admittedly she's not small-framed and has a lot of muscle, but still. The number on the scale doesn't mean a damn at this point anymore. =)

    Have lost 38.5 pounds in 4 months with a constant loss each week. Still have 15 pounds to go to be at my goal weight so think I am doing fairly well since I didn't really set a "due by" date to begin with. Feeling great and my knees have stop screaming at me ;) so it's working for me.

    Thank you!! I really do get a lot more satisfaction from noticing physical changes rather than what the scale says, but as a woman it's kinda drilled into our brains to watch the scale (regardless how arbitrary that number is after a while).

    It took me over 2 years to lose 20 lbs. I am way behind! At that time, I just exercised though and didn't track anything I ate. Now I'm tracking and am hoping that it will help me get the rest off that I want. It's a slow and long journey though.

    I feel like I'm on track, but everytime I get on the scale I realize that I'm behind. up until the beginning of May, I was losing, now I've been gaining & losing the same 4 pounds it's driving me nuts. Sometimes I just want to stop & go back to my old habits, but I keep thinking that eventually it's bound to fall into place. So I keep moving forward.

    I am just slightly behind at this moment. I gained 2 pounds this month (it's been a super crazy month). But I am still down 5% of my body weight. My goal is to lose 10+% of my body weight by the end of the year and I am 8 pounds away from that goal.

    I don't have a timeline, but I'm happy with my progress, so I'm going to call that on track. :-) There have been some slow months along the way, but that's okay. The trend for my weight is always downward, and for fitness it's always upward.

    Haven't lost in ages.
    Trying to eat above BMR now and get most of my exercise calories back. This combination has caused me to gain weight.
    But big cuts didn't help either. So.

    I was at 43 lost (in a little less than 3 months) but now 38 (at three months) but back on track. I think today i will be at 40 again. Hopefully to get to my goal within 2 to 3 months @ 75 lost. Hard work paying off. Feeling better and way motivated than i ever was!

    I'm been a little behind of where I thought I'd be at this point. But I thankfully lost another pound after a month of nothing! Sometimes it seems like our bodies are on their own time frames :)

    I have lost 58 pds since Dec and now I am working on the emotional side of weight loss. I never realized the hole I was fillng with food now I have filled it with exercise and a obsession over my diet. I need to find a happy medium.

    I am trying not to focus on a timeframe and just appreciate the small goals. I have been doing this since January 19th and lost 34 lbs. currently but I have gained and lost in that time. I try to understand that although this is a lifestyle change I still treat myself to some of those things I loved before. It was a real challenge last week while on vacation but I only gained 1 lb and considered that a major victory.

    Wow 58 pds in 6 months, that's amazing! Congrats! Finding a happy medium can be tricky sometimes, especially when you don't want to fall back into bad habits and go backwards... Just do your best and forget the rest!!! Listen to your body! :)
