I started the challenge at 196.5 and this morning was 184. I am so happy with the 12.5 lbs I lost as this got me back on track! SLOW and steady wins the race! My goal for the next challenge is 15 lbs by July 4th. (Although if I hit the 20 I wouldn't complain lol)

Awesome!!

As of 3/20 I hit 11 pounds lost. Had some plateauing going on, but I'm so excited to be losing again. I know I won't hit the 20, but I'm ok because I'm back to steadily losing. Thank you for all of the motivation! MFP Start: 239 Challenge Start: 196.5 Easter Goal: 176.5 Current Weight: 185.5 Ultimate Goal: 150

Thank you so much for doing this!

I'm not following any specific diet, but am also back after a 19 pound gain after losing 70. I'm back down 10 and trying to lose another 40. Feel free to add me!

^^^THIS! I had to learn the same thing!

I was just defriended because I made a comment on someone's page about their rapid weight loss. She has lost 18 pounds in two weeks and generally logs a 1-3 pound loss every day. I commented that she was doing a great job, but to be prepared for a possible plateau. And to not get frustrated because she has been doing…

This! Find something you love and do it 4-5 days/week. That combined with logging accurately will get you where you want to go!!

I logged it and was over by about 500. And I didn't feel bad about it. :)

I will be smiling in my new Easter dress. Then starting a new challenge before my trip to the beach in July :)

Up 2 this week due to a few days of meetings and eating out (still near my calorie limit) and lots of sodium but back on track now! Looking forward to next week's weigh in! Total loss so far is 5 pounds. Starting weight = 196.5 Current weight = 191.5. Challenge goal = 176.5 Ultimate goal (for now) = 150

Hi everyone! I just found the group but can use some support and accountability! I had lost 70 pounds but slowly put about 20 back on. Start MFP weight: 239 Start weight for Challenge (Jan 2, 2015)- 196.5 Goal Weight for Challenge - 176.5 Ultimate Goal Weight:150 Lbs to Lose: 46.5

The amount you want to lose is definitely doable, but I'm not sure about the 1200. If you're feeling deprived after a week or two, I'd try upping it a bit. Feeling too deprived (in my case anyway) will only lead to binges. Personally I am currently 5'7" and 189 and eating 1500 per day.

For me, it was a great way to kick off my weight loss. We weighed in each week and used total percentage lost. We also did a points chart for making daily healthy choices. I needed a good kick in the butt to get going so this was a perfect and safe (for me emotionally) way to do it! I won both the total percentage and the…

I read it 3 years ago and I think I am going to reread it again soon. So inspiring!

I had the problem once where I was no longer able to afford the gym membership. I also was given the spiel about how you have to move away, etc. I flat out lied to them and told them I moved. As proof, I changed my checking account address to my parents' house (60 miles away) until I received a statement. I used this as…

I am definitely an evening eater. I just plan for it. I log my entire day the night before and go ahead and log usually at least 300 calories for evening snacks. Then I spread the rest out throughout the day. If you know you are a nighttime eater, try this.

5'7" Female SW: 240 CW:185 GW: 150 I'll reassess when I get there if I need to lose any more. As of right now my goal is to reach GW by the end of the year. But right now I've been kinda stalled out so I'm more concerned with getting things kickstarted again.

Anyone is welcome to add me as well! I started at 240 a couple years ago and lost 70 lbs, then gained almost 20 back. I'm working my way back down and I need to finish this!!!! I log everyday and my diary is open. Almost all of my previous friends are now inactive and I need some support!!!!

Absolutely!

I leave at LEAST 200-300 calories for evening snacking. I also find that a cup of tea with some sweetener in it helps to fill my belly and curb cravings.

Been stuck for awhile after gaining over the summer. (Fridays are my weigh in days) SW: 239 CW: 181 GW: 155 Weigh in Dates: 10/6: 181 10/11: 10/18: 10/25: 10/31: My favorite pumpkin recipe is my dad's pumpkin pie!!! Straight off the Libby's can!

AWESOME!!!

Well with week 1 I achieved SOME of my goals. My sodium was still kinda high and with starting back up to school (and my daughter starting kindergarten this week) I haven't made it to the gym yet. But I HAVE stayed under almost every day this week, drank (a bit) more water, and only weighed today...exactly 1 week from my…

I wouldn't be able to survive without my diet sodas (which I've been drinking my entire life). I've had 2 small cavities my entire life and recently lost 70 pounds. My personal experience allows to me to continue drinking. My only warning on Pepsi Max is it has a crap-ton of caffeine in it. That's where the "Max" comes…

My plan: 1. Staying under my 1600 calories every day. 2. Reduce Sodium Intake 3. Exercise at least 3 days a week.

Over the summer I have gained 10 pounds :( Starting Weight: 239 Lowest Weight: 168 Current Weight 182.5 Goal Weight: 155 End of September Goal is 175. This is incredibly ambitious I know, but I need to get back on track!!!

I am a K-8 music teacher on a cart. I already get a little bit of walking just going from room to room :) I usually have an english muffin with either Nutella or Biscoff spread with some sort of fruit for breakfast. Lunch is either a sandwich or salad with a fruit and a yogurt. I'll have one or two pre-portioned snacks…

^^^^^This. It is not at all necessary to be that restricted.
