50 lbs should be reasonable to try and achieve by the New Year!

Back on board with 75 lbs to lose by next April. When shall we report - today I am at 214.5

Well I am back on the system - geesh - put 20 lbs on since January. Now that Stampede is over - I can get back into programme and monitor food intake and get back to the gym. Have discovered I love to swim and the new YMCA has a great inifite pool. Can go for 20-30 minutes before I stop so really enjoying it. Then the gym…

Hi everyone, well I have been studying and working in the yard and studying some more. Doing a Level 2 Adjuster exam on Monday. I hope I will do ok but they are tough exams. Watching everything I eat and I am slowly whittling down a little bit every day. From some of the posts, it sounds like some folks are having a lot of…

Sounds like a group for me. 57 and battling the bulge - still trying to get into menopause but mama nature does not want me there quite yet I suppose. Been really watching this month and am down 7 lbs since monitoring in July. Had originally dropped about 15 but attempted a half marathon and nearly killed myself - well my…

I will jump on this wagon - I want to lose 70+ by Feb so 25 by Oct is on my goal.:flowerforyou:

you are doing so well!

good for you - very inspiring!

I was here before, dropped about 15-20 lbs and then fell off the wagon, gained it all back and some. Want to drop 70 lbs by Feb so add me to your list and we will keep each other honest ... lol.

how hard have you been working out? If you are doing a lot of weights, you are "toning" the muscles and when this happens you are building muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat so sometimes it seems like you are not losing when actually you are. Measuring yourself might be the better alternative. Last week I worked out hard…

keep at it - this site is motivating I find to keep track of every little thing.

WOW - that is awesome!

Such motivation for all. I have copied the site in case anyone wants to watch it and did not get a chance. http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/vp/40196444#40196444

I was kind of all over the place a month ago once I started with my trainer and not really recording what I was eating so I was not losing weight. After finding MFP I am diligent about recording my food and am conscious about what I want to spend my 1200 calories on since that is all I should eat to lose the 1.5-2 lbs a…

Good for you - I can't run if my life depended on it ... must use the eliptical. Keep at it, I find this site is very motivational. Carol

Welcome aboard - I joined a week ago and find it very motivating to track every little thing.

Good for you - your photos are great!

I can fluctuate up to 5 lbs during the course of the day - I recall entering a weight loss challenge and you had to get weight at 6:00 pm. I just about peeled every piece of clothing, took off my earings and my watch - you name it and still would be 3-5 lbs heavier than the morning. They (whoever they are) recommend you…

I too am in my first week and managed to drop 3 lbs in the middle of mother nature crisis - really finding myself cautious about what to eat and what I want to spend my calories on when you are logging every morsel. Back to the gym tonight for a session with the trainer and am hoping tomorrow morning I can crash under the…

Should have included weight from last week. 01-Nov-10 = 203.8 08-Nov-10 = 200.8

I thought I have joined in - you can add me to the list Thx - Carol
