Thank you for the ideas! I really appreciate it.

4/30: 1.2 pounds down. Came within .8 of a pound to meet my 5-pound goal.

Hi everyone, I started on MFP recently and I’ve lost a little over 10 pounds so far. My monthly goal for April is to lose 5 pounds. Nearing the end of this month, I’m 4.2 pounds toward my 5-pound goal. My goal this week will be to focus on eating meals. I tend to snack and graze on food when I’m not focused.

4/24: -.2 of a pound 1.8 pounds to go to reach my April goal.

Thanks @bebeisfit. It helps to know I’m not alone in this struggle. Thank you!

Thanks! I’m on a journey to be healthy foodie. Thanks for your support!

April starting weight: 300.4 April goal: 292 4/9: 296.6 4/16: 297 4/23

Good suggestions. Thank you. I’ve set a new 5-pound goal and posted that in a couple places in the house to remind me. I feel a little lighter and my knee pain is a little less.

@L1zardQueen I’m made it to 296 this week, so I’m in the 200s now.

@L1zardQueen...Good question...I’m not sure why I struggle at that weight. Maybe it’s the milestone of going from the 300s to 200s, perhaps.

Thank you! I think I needed to hear that today.

I figured out the calorie amount differences if I planned to lose 2 pounds a week, 1.5 pounds, and 1 pound and then set my calorie goal to the lowest amount of calories, with a goal to lose 2 pounds a week. Knowing the calorie totals of each goal, I learned there’s a 500-calorie difference from the lowest amount of…

Thankful for all the support and seeing people succeed out here. It gives me hope and the drive to press on.

Thanks! I’ve read some of the stories. Amazing!!

I’m just beginning my weight loss journey and this quote really speaks to me right now: “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” Go blossom, my friends!

How inspiring! I need to do what you did and some. I’d love to follow you along your journey. Way to go!

Way to go! I’m just starting and I think I can learn from you. And, I think I can offer you encouragement on the mindset part. After years of gaining and losing weight, I’m starting my journey in a different way this time. I’m working on changing my mindset and following it up with pretracking my food and it seems to be…

I’m willing to be friends and offer support, too!

I have PCOS too, so I can relate to what you’re going through.

Hi, My focus for March is to work on my mindset and why I want to lose weight. To do this, I’ve posted inspiring quotes around the house and am reading them aloud to myself each day. Along with this is the reason why I want to do this. My reason is to realize my potential for the first time in my life! I want to finally…
