I'm excited because my last 3 day's weigh-ins have been out of the 170s: 169.5, 168 and 167.5! I am hoping that I can say finally goodbye to the 170's (I've been there for about 1 year). Good luck to everyone... if I can do it, so can you!

My favorite exercise is running, and to keep boredom at bay I have goals... run in a certain race, beat a certain time.

I have noticed the first 7 lbs in my face and chest. I would prefer to see it in my hips, thighs and waist, but I am trying to be patient!

I've been stuck in the 170's since August-September. I started trying to lose weight in earnest on 1/1/11 and joined MFP shortly before that time. My weight is 173.0lbs. I was 172.0 about 9 days ago, and since then it has been 172.5-173.5 every day (yes, I weigh in daily). I'm rather frustrated because I've been just below…

I'm 5'9.5" and currently at 173lbs. I started on MFP at 180 on January 1st, my highest weight ever. About 5 years ago I was at 135lbs and super-fit. I loved being 135-140lbs. I was running about 30 miles a week and fast too. However, between a pregnancy, c-section #3 and struggling with hypothyroidism, I gained quite a…
