To be under 160lbs by the middle of February. My initial goal weight was 160. I'm so close. I was at 161lbs before the holidays but gained a couple of lbs back. I know if I put in the work I can definitely be at or below my goal weight by mid-Feb.

Every day, or at least 5 out of 7 days a week, but I only track it if I lose or if I gain and stay at the same weight for more than a couple of days. I think once a week or once every two weeks is great. Just because I weigh myself every day doesn't mean I think it's the healthiest thing, honestly. I can get a bit…

In my personal experience and opinion -- yes. I was trying to lose weight for a year without much luck at all (a couple pounds). I was eating at a deficit. I switched to low carb (around 60-110 carbs a day) and lost nearly 20 lbs so far. I am ALSO eating at a calorie deficit -- I eat a net calorie intake of between 1280…

110 is extremely unhealthy for your height. Yes, please talk to a doctor and/or therapist. I was severely underweight at 95 lbs and I am 5' 7.5" with a medium to large frame. Don't pay attention to the number itself, because at your height you are going to have to weigh more to be healthy. My goal weight is 160 lbs. I know…

Haha.. Zx14chick I don't take offense at it, because it's true... My boss and coworkers, who all work in cubicles in the actual office area (yes, there is one, where I had a desk before I got moved in here), like to come in here and complain about the noise in cube land... I'd love to switch with them!!! Ok done…

I don't technically have a cubicle. But I work completely alone in a room that is temp. controlled because of the artifacts (I work at a museum). So I'm cold all the time. And there are no windows anywhere. And no people. No people sounds nice until you've lived it for 5 years.. Also, no food and no drinks allowed at my…

Eating too late at night. Sitting around too much instead of doing things around the house. I always have to fight my laziness. Also, I really hate doing the dishes (we don't have a dishwasher in my apartment) so they usually pile up :(

50% Hungarian (my dad emigrated to the US in the 80's), 25% Ukrainian, and the rest is German, Scottish, French Canadian..

omg.. CHIPS! That's why I don't keep them in the house :/ They are my weakness. Especially sour cream and onion, cheddar and sour cream, and plain chips with dip.

Was an overweight child, then started dieting when I was 11. Lost weight gradually but then got obsessive in my early teens and developed anorexia. Recovered (mostly) and gained weight back.. too much weight. Basically I never developed a healthy relationship with food my entire life! I have trouble knowing when I'm…

protein shakes, protein bars, and greek yogurt are what I eat to make sure I get plenty of protein (aside from lean meats and such). I really like Quest bars and Larabars

Thanks for posting this!

I've always been told 1 lb./week is a good, healthy amount. Slow weight loss stays off because you're not depriving yourself and you're already living a lifestyle that you will be able to maintain once you reach your goal weight. Also, the closer to your healthy weight you are, often the slower the weight loss. I know it…
