An update: Female - age 27 Height 5' 7" Starting weight - 180 lbs - February 8, 2018 Previous Lowest weight in this group - 161.6 lbs - August 15, 2018 Lowest weight yet - 157.2 lbs Current weight - 158.8 lbs Goal weight - 145-150 lbs - January 1, 2019 I fell off the wagon a bit this month and desperately need to get back…

New lowest weight!...159.8 lbs - August 17,2018 I am back up to 160.5 lbs today, but getting below 160 as the lower part of my weight fluctuation made me feel pretty great! It’s the lightest I have weighed in almost two years.

The daily fluctuations don’t get to me, so I like to know my range. I will occasionally weight myself 2x/day (morning and evening) so that I understand what my daily fluctuation looks like. I use my morning weight to log into MyFitnessPal and track my progress. The monthly weight fluctuations from hormones and water…

Hello! Female - age 27 Height 5' 7" Starting weight - 180 lbs - February 8, 2018 Lowest weight - 161.6 lbs - August 15, 2018 Goal weight - 145-150 lbs - January 1, 2019

Another HaloTop lover. My dessert "treat" is a serving or two of HaloTop (80-120 calories) and a dark chocolate Kodiak cake pancake or waffle (150-200 calories). Kodiak cake is a high-protein pancake/waffle mix...you can get it on Amazon if you don't have it in your grocery store!). It's basically a brownie + ice cream…

Happy Anniversary!

August 15 - 161.6 lbs ... -1.8 lbs since my last post :) I have been doing super at logging foods into MyFitnessPal...and have been mostly staying under my caloric goals ;). I have also eaten breakfast (even if it's light and on the go) daily. Does anyone else actually get hungry earlier if they eat breakfast? As for my…

Hi, Meg! How is your weight loss journey going? I hope wedding planning isn't too stressful right now! Remember to enjoy the journey :) I figured I would post and offer my support and see if you wanted to support/motivate each other. I recently got engaged (June 30) and will be getting married January 5th. It's a short…

Late to the game, but figured I would offer my support! I am getting married the first week of January and would like to lose 10-15 more lbs before then. I just got engaged at the end of June so I feel like it is coming up quick! I was already starting a weight loss journey before my engagement. Since April I have lost ~15…

I say indulge away, you're doing awesome and you deserve it! Hope you had a good time.

I haven't check in for a while...but I haven't completely fallen off the wagon! My update is below. Weight: August 8 - 163.4 lbs...-3.8 lbs since my last post three weeks ago! Reflections on July goals: - 100 push-ups daily, 100 sit-ups daily...sometimes 100 jumping jacks ;). Doing the repetitive 100 push-ups daily really…

He is doing the 100 push-ups daily with me! However, he isn't really trying to lose weight so is not as focused on a healthy diet. I always struggle to maintain my eating habits since he likes to snack, eat fast-food, and not gain any weight, haha! He was gone doing field work in the tropics for 2 months so came back 22…

Day/Weight/Comment 7/17 - 167.8 lbs - Need to get back on track! 7/18 - 167.2 lbs - Impressed at the slight decrease in the scale even though I have not been very healthy for the past week or so...but today is a new day and this is a new challenge! I hope to be down 2 lbs by the end of July with the ultimate goal being 155…

I also gained a considerable amount of weight when writing my thesis! I used to comfortably fluctuate in the 150s and now I find myself stuck in the 165-175 range. After defending I was the heaviest I have been at about 182. I moved on to a PhD so I didn't exactly alleviate this stress and have been struggling to get back…

Late to the game, but hopefully I can still lose a few pounds in July! Original starting weight: 182 lbs July starting weight: 165.6 lbs July goal: 165 lbs (I know it sounds weird...but I gained some weight back very quickly in July) Ultimate goal: 150 lbs July 1: 165.6 July 2: 167.4 July 3: 166.4 July 4: 166.8 July 5:…

26 here too! Yay for the mid-upper 20s (I will be "upper" 20s in July, yikes). Such an interesting point in life, haha.

R42 SW 173.6 lbs Day/Weight/Comment 5/28 --173.6 lbs 5/29 -- 173.6 lbs 5/30 -- 172.6 lbs -- This is the lightest I have been since Nov/Dec of last year and down 8 lbs since February! That target weight of a consistent 165 by the end of the year (150 lbs is my "ultimate goal") seems much more attainable :) 5/31 6/01 6/02…

So close! May was a stellar month for me nonetheless. Thanks to all for the support! It really helped keep me motivated! Hoping June goes just as well. I will be out of the country for 2 weeks, but will have access to a kitchen so am hoping to stay on track. Plus, I won't have my young pup with me so I can make my daily…

Newbie here! I participated in the "Lose 5+ lbs in May" challenge and really am loving the positive support and community from these MFP forums.

Well...it's not 5 lbs...but maybe I will do a last check-in on May 31st. Also, I went on vacation this past week and didn't completely gain all of it back so I say that's a win! Granted, the vacation was hiking in the National Parks in southern Utah so I was hiking 10+ miles a day for 3 days, but at least I didn't eat too…

I seriously will fluctuate by like 2-4 lbs WITHIN a single day. Don't be discouraged!

Felt slender this morning so figured I would give it a go even though it wasn't weigh in day. Glad I did! I was feeling discouraged from Tuesday, but it looks like it must have just been water weight, bloating, or something of that nature. Also went on an 8 mile hike yesterday that kicked my butt!...glad to be making…

[/quote] Ugh...went up again. Who knows though, hopefully it's a fluke and next week will be different!

My update! I think some hormone fluctuations may be contributing to the over 2 lb weight loss in just a week, but I will take it ;) Last week was my first time in a long time being consistent in recording my calories...holy cow, I needed that reality check! No, I didn't hit or stay under my caloric goal every day, but I…

Wow! You're already amazing. Keep it up :)

This will be my first challenge, but I am in dire need of some support! While becoming more active in the last few months, I still struggle with eating habits. I need to remind myself I will not see change without making a change. I am looking forward to the challenge and 5 lbs is a feasible goal! Original starting weight…
