Starting weight: 263.4 Goal weight: 195 Current weight: 259.9 Total weight lost: 3.5 This week's successes: Cutting out alcohol and going back to clean eating. Going back to journaling using MFP, which previously helped me lose 40 pounds and keep it off 3 years This week's challenges: Dregs of holiday food lying around

I have been on 10 mg of Lexapro since Feb 2013, and coincidentally the 40 pound weight loss that had been a steady downward slope for 2 1/4 years before that reversed and then went back up. I put on about 33 pounds in a year, and I am back to my starting weight. I should add that I had a broken toe for four months, though,…

Congratulations! Such an amazing effort.

Add me please! I've had a slide this year and this is about exactly what I need to lose to get back to where I was at the start of the year. This would be a great motivator and kickstart!

Congratulations! I loved all your guidance and tips. Thanks for sharing!

I keep mine open too, and I try to be very honest with myself, but it does result in some veryyyyyy alarming looking days...good on you!

I'm so old that I just got my own birthday wrong...fixed.

I turn 40 on Sunday and I have a 6 year old and a nearly 4 year old. I've lost about 30 pounds (was 40 but...), but have 40 to go. Feel free to add me! Fair warning, I go slooowwwwlllyyyy at losing. It's been about 2.5 years of effort, but I've lived life as well. I make a lot of time for working out (thanks to my husband…

Just amazing! Great story (and writing) also! Congratulations!

Jmeyer925-You look fabulous!!

I'm 5'11", started at 237 and currently about 200 (bouncing between 199 and 201) on my scale, but my scale is about 7 pounds light. My goal is about 170 on my scale so that I'm within the 178 lbs at the top of the weight range. From there, will see what to do, but I'm thinking that will be good enough. Currently a size 16.…

I'm 5'11; started at 237 lb about a year after my second son was born (down from a high of around 260 in each pregnancy). I started MFP in November 2010; I lost 28 lb by Aug 2011. I actually haven't lost any weight in a year (have maintained), but have increased my workouts and slimmed down significantly in measurements.…

5'11" here...glad to see more tall ladies!

I swim 3-4 days a week, typically 2000-4000 yards. I started again in Sept 2010, and didn't see any weight loss initially because of this. I get very hungry after a swim. But it can be controlled. Once I got on MFP in November and started planning my days and was accountable for overeating, I stopped eating everything in…

I have been on MFP since November but haven't commented at all, but I'm so happy to see other people my height to compare notes with. It's hard to compare to shorter women; that was my problem in high school! I'm 5'11 and have about 60 pounds to lose (goal is about 170-175). Haven't seen that weight since about 15 years…
