I can totally relate! I had lots all my weight years ago and thought I didn’t need this app. I slowly gained it back. But I’m on track again. You can do this!!

Goals. Goals, goals. I start with little tiny goals. Almost like mini promises to myself. I can keep those promises and then every 4-5 mini goals reached and set bigger ones. If I have a set back and don’t let it derail everything. Meditation and mindfulness has taught me how to be gentle with myself. It changed my…

Hey y’all! This is a great idea! I’m 45, getting back in shape. I love mountain biking. Any biking really. It’s fun and childish and gets me fit all at once. Yes please!

That is a great goal!! Mine is linked to my fitness. If I reach my weight goal in 6 months I should be in good enough shape to do a 3 hour mountain bike ride. I love a tough challenge.

The first week is always so dramatic for me. CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT: 217 (1/1) Jan. 1: 217 lbs Jan. 6: 208.4 lbs Jan. 13: 206.8 lbs Jan. 20: Jan. 27: January Goal: 200 January Actual: so far 206.8 : Weight lost this week: 1.6 (turns out to much salt helps me retain weight! AWESOME.) Actual Weight loss for the challenge:…

You got this!

Sounds great! I joined a weight loss contest at work. Free money is a great motivator! I like this though because it’ll go on longer than this contest I’m in.

You got this Beth! It’s a slow. When do you want to hit your first goal?

That’s great!! Well done

Yup. Totally did that. Lost 65 lbs 4 years ago. Got back to MFP and exercising on July 10th. Of this years. Lost 20. It’s hard to get excited though about getting back to where I was. So I’ve stalled a bit.

Good luck! It's important to have a good comparison. I took a during photo when I was half way there - wich took the sting out of that first gross one. :)

Copy that recipe right into MFP and it'll tell you the calories and everything else. I love that app!

I'm looking for people to do this with too! I'll add you. Congrats on your weight loss so far! Well done.

Horrified?! I know the feeling! I started back in September and realized that I didn't just look awful with 60 extra lbs on me, but I couldn't do think things I love anymore namely mountain biking and hiking. I've lost about 40 lbs since then. I'm still at it! Add me if you're looking for encouragement.

Good luck! I'm more than half way to my goal. I love seeing people make the first step. That really is the hardest part. So well done!

Good luck Deb!

Good luck! I've already lost 40 lbs of 60. i gave myself until May 1, 2015. So it's going well! You may be eating too little. Don't starve yourself. That's not a good plan. I would suggest you go to a nutritionist. She gave me a simple plan of eating more lean protein and more fiber. I workout 90 a day 6x a week and eat…
