Hi all! I finally worked up the nerve to get on the scale after being so off-track the last few weeks. I'm not at all surprised by the gain. I'm having such a difficult time committing to a healthy lifestyle right now. Everything seems off - sleep, exercise, food. I am exhausted from my 14 month old who wakes up at least…

Hi All! I'm still at a plateau, but I'm trying to stay positive! Hoping to get out more to exercise with warmer temps on the way. Have a great weekend! Height: 5'1" Highest weight: 170 Goal: 118-120 Feb. 3: 133.2 Feb. 11th: 133 Feb. 18th: 133 Feb. 25th: 133 Mar. 10th: 133.2 Mar. 18th: 133

Hi All! So nice to see everyone's updates. I've been struggling lately, and your posts are very motivating! Going to keep trying to get back on track! Unfortunately, it is very easy for me to "forget" my weight loss goals when I am tired, stressed, busy, etc. Without a doubt, the most important thing I can do to solve this…

Hi all! Hope everyone had a good week. I wasn’t as careful as I should have been this week. I enjoyed celebrating my daughter’s birthday with a take-out dinner and homemade cake… then, of course, there were leftovers I had the next day! Just stocked my house with healthier foods for the week to come! Height: 5'1" Goal:…

Hi Everyone! This is my second round of this challenge. Still working on the post-pregnancy weight. Height: 5'1" Goal: 118-120 Feb. 3: 133.2

I'm happy I lost five pounds on the challenge, and I'm glad my weight has been stable. Thanks to everyone for support! Great challenge!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a great week! I am revising my goal because I am seeing my weight bounce between 133 and 134 so much. By the end of the month, I’d like to see an end to this plateau. I am going to add an additional walking session to my week and log my meals more consistently. Have a nice weekend! Height: 5'1"…

Hi All! Tricky week here with eating, but I’m managing to hang in there. Height: 5'1" Goal: 120 Nov. 18th: 138.6 Nov. 25th: 139.6 Dec. 2nd: 137.8 Dec. 9th: 136.2 Dec. 16th: 135.2 Dec. 31st: 134.8 Jan. 13th: 133

It is a slow process, but my weight is going in the right direction. Have a great weekend, everyone! Height: 5'1" Goal: 120 Nov. 18th: 138.6 Nov. 25th: 139.6 Dec. 2nd: 137.8 Dec. 9th: 136.2 Dec. 16th: 135.2

Hi all! I usually post Fridays, but I missed yesterday. It is definitely motivating to see the scale moving in the right direction. My goal for the past week was to use a hunger scale. I would say that I used it only about 25% of the time. Also, I haven't been logging my foods as consistently as I'd like. I'll focus on…

Hi all! My goal for the past week was to stop eating after dinner and to continue to log my meals. This week, I want to use a hunger scale to track my hunger. Hopefully, I'll reach weight goal #1 by my next post (135) -- we'll see! Have a great weekend, everyone! Height: 5'1" Goal: 120 Nov. 18th: 138.6 Nov. 25th: 139.6…

Hi all! Back for another weigh-in. I'm kind of easing into things. My goal for the past week was to begin consistently logging my meals again. This week, my goal is to stop eating after dinner. I started grazing in the evenings during my pregnancy -- a habit which I thought was gone for good. Going to tackle it once again;…

Hi all! I would love to join this challenge. I have 15 - 20 pounds of weight to lose since having a baby nine months ago. Prior to the pregnancy, I used MFP for years to help me maintain a 50 pound weight loss. I had a major backslide in my eating during the pregnancy: I got used to eating whatever I wanted, and I stopped…

UGHHHH! Norovirus is the WORST! So glad you are feeling better.

It is great that you were able to exercise despite the temperature. I am in the Northeast, and I could barely move today. I like warm temps., but I can't wait for the weather to change!

Thank you so much for your positive words! You are so right! The “spark” that keeps me going is thinking about how much better my life is without the weight. I think you articulated that so well in your post. You gave me a great reminder to reflect upon the quality of my life more often:)

I think everyone is different when it comes to weighing in. My eating habits and exercise routine fluctuate A LOT, so I probably need to weigh-in more often than someone who has a more consistent approach to maintenance. Also, I checked my weight much more often in my first year of maintenance as I was TERRIFIED of…

@icemom011, I am so sorry about your accident. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

So sorry about your cat, @pkweier. I can't imagine how difficult it is after sharing your life with him for so many years.
