Hi there...I love these challenges! I was 276 to start, 268 as of today, lost 8 pounds (10 if you go by my other scale.) really working to my goal of 250 by May 31

270 as of today. Hope still a chance for my goal of 250 by end may.

Hi there :-). Welcome and congratulations on your decision to get healthier! The weigh in is kind of just when you want to during the week, any one of us has been starting the thread for the week, so feel free to jump in any time!!

I weighed myself on a medical scale today, and it was 274, about 6 pounds heavier than my scale. I am going with this more accurate weight now. So My goal is to hit 264 by the end of April.

It sounds like everyone is doing great so far!! I started this year at 298.5. I am down to 268.5 on that scale I had been weighing myself on, which is 30 pounds lost for the year, but changed scales and am more accurately 274. So, although I have lost 30 pounds (actual start weight was probably also 5.5 pounds heavier), I…

Welcome to MFP! Congratulations on making that important first step.

I really, really appreciate all of the responses. It seems like the saggy or loose skin is as individual as anything else, I just have to wait and see what the outcome will be. Thanks again

About 268 as of today. Not sure what my total loss is for the challenge. My goal is to hit 250 by the end of May. I am going to redouble my efforts to get as low as I can by then.

Welcome back, this group has been very quiet lately. Congrats on your new found dedication!

Great work!! That is a huge accomplishment!!

Thanks for all of the responses. I'm not too sure what the ultimate decision will be, but as mentioned, I will deal with it when I have lost the weight, toned up, and can assess the damage I guess. All of the input is very helpful, I appreciate the replies :)

Was about 274.2 as of march 7, no idea what the weight is today as I'm not near my scale. I have had wine a few times this week, so likely weigh near the end of March. My goal is to hit 250 by the end of May. I am going to redouble my efforts to get as low as I can by then.

Thank you very much for the replies. I didn't think it would bounce back too much. After my pregnancies, my belly bounced back pretty well but I have gained and lost 100 plus pounds twice since then so I'm pretty sure it is at the point of no return.

You are doing an absolutely amazing job here :-). Did you ever end up upping your calorie intake? I'm also wondering what your daily calorie burn is like? Congratulations on your progress!!

Hi there. I would suggest trying to eat say five-six smaller (300 calorie) meals a day, and try combining protein and a little healthy fat with your fruit, veggies or starch. It isn't necessary for weight loss, but I find that staying away from junk food 100% for a few months gets rid of the cravings quite well. Getting…

I can relate to some of what you are saying. I find that meditating and focusing on slowing my breathing down help best. I have tried a million different things, and this is what works best for me.

Wow, you both look wonderful, you are beaming in the after picture. Great transformation!

Hi there :-). I'm fairly new to the group, but feel free to add me as a friend. I have lost about 80 pounds of the 170 I want to lose, so almost at the half way point.

Welcome :-). It sounds like you are on the right track

Hi there...am at about 274.2 as of today, so 1.8 lb lost last week. My goal is to hit 250 by the end of May

Hi there...I love these challenges! I am at about 276 as of today, so my goal for beginning of May is going to be 258. My goal is to hit 250 by the end of May, so hopefully I get it. Just shy of 80 pounds lost since last fall :-)

I started the year at 296 or 298 I can't remember and am now at 275.5 so just over 20 lost this year! Hope to make 250 by the end of May :-)
