I have been at goal for about 3 months. I actually went maybe 2lbs under. Since then i have had a 3 lb range. I think 5 lbs is much more realistic. I have logged everyday and plan to - forever! I have gone up to an average of 2000 calories per day - but i have made sure to exercise. I am still so worried about going back…

Getting near the end of the month and I am thinking that i won't make my goal. This will be the first time ~~ boo hoo! But i will still work at it. January 27th cycled - 11.2 miles January total - 236.6 miles To Go - 83.4 miles Goal 320 miles

I used to have sugar in my coffee for years. Quit cold turkey a couple of years ago and don't miss it. BUT - i have stevia. The granulated kind. To me - the taste is very similar to sugar. But my husband likes the liquid Stevia. You have to try both to see if one works for you.

It will be interesting to see if i make my goal! Today got a few more miles in on the bike. January 24th - 14 miles January total - 225.4 miles To Go - 94.6 miles Goal - 320 miles Good luck all - get to your goal!

January 22nd - 17 miles January Total 211.4 miles To Go - 108.6 miles Goal - 320 miles Gotta keep moving ~ making goal will be tricky - but i sure will give it a go!

Checked the weather before i went out for a ride. Zero percent chance of rain. Cool - i can go. Got out and 50 yds from my door i started feeling a mist starting. Well - you get the picture, i had to cut my ride short. But got in a few to add. January 21st - 11.3 miles January Total - 194.4 miles To Go - 125.6 miles Goal -…

Went out to lunch - rare treat since starting on here! So thought i would still be sorta good. Went to Millers Ale house and ordered the Bistro Steak Salad. Well - it was huge - and yes - i ate it all but not all the salad dressing. Yummy. Got home and looked it up - and its on MFP - 1500 calories! BAM! I wasn't going to…

Finally! Its now past the half month, but still......i finally got past the halfway mark for my goal. January 18th - 20.1 miles January Total - 172.6 miles Goal - 320 miles To Go - 147.4 miles All cycling....... come on movers - get with it ~~ I made the halfway point - so can you.

Well its helpful that hubby is back on MFP and trying to lose a few pounds. He is ready to exercise everyday and well, i just can't have him go by himself! So - cycled today-- January 16th - 14.4 miles January Total - 152.5 miles To Go - 167.5 miles Goal 320 miles Getting closer to the halfway mark ...............

Cycled again - but behind for the month if i am going to make my goal .....still - i added~~ January 15th - 22.4 miles January Total - 138.1 miles To Go - 181.9 miles Goal - 320 miles

My husband has had digestive issues over the years and now it is better. Not perfect, but much better. He has quit lactose. Any milk products, yogurt, cheese, etc. He uses protein powder - but gets one of the Muscle Milks that is lactose free. His doc didn't suggest this - as they hardly ever recommend anything for dietary…

Cycling - beautiful day~~~~~~~~~~ January 13th - 13.2 miles January total 115.7 miles To Go - 204.3 miles Goal - 320 miles

Before i started my journey here - i was in denial. I mean i knew i wanted to lose weight, but i wouldn't get near a scale. I wouldn't even allow the doctors office to weigh me - i told them - i am about ____. I was afraid to really Know. Then i started MFP and had a total flip around. I have weighed myself every morning…

Wow JTH ! Great going! Fantastic! Well Hubby rejoined MFP today and started realizing why i am an exercise nut! His calories started adding up so - got out the bike and of course i went too. January 12th -- 23.7 miles January total 102.5 miles To Go - 217.5 miles Goal 320 miles

Got back on my bike today~ January 11th - 22.7 miles January Total - 78.8 miles To Go - 241.2 miles Goal 320 Miles

I did this with 1200 calories. But that is before exercise. And i do like food, so i exercised usually at least 2 hours a day. That worked for me because it allowed more of everything. Yes, i often went over on sugar but it was because of the fruits, but i really didn't think too much on that. Best of luck - you can do it!…

Well, was hungry today ----so solution is........ride January 8th 27 miles January total 67.1 miles Goal 320 miles To Go - 252.9 miles

I am 5 4.5". Started here in May 2013 at 159 and now 128. Very happy where i am except need to firm up so started weight training 3 months ago. Haven't seen much progress yet so need to lift heavier. I would like to see what 120-122 looks like but going real slow and eating more now so this will take awhile and i may not…

Got my 2nd ride of the year in today. Great day - the rest of you need to move to Florida! January 5th - 20 miles January Total - 40.1 miles To Go - 279.9 miles Goal - 320 miles

I love the indoor rowing machine - but haven't been on one in years. About , i don't know - 20 years ago or so when a Golds Gym opened here - there were a couple of rowing machines there and thats where i did it. They even had a competition going for watts burned or miles gone in a certain amount of time. Can't really…

Finally got started this month! January 3rd - 20.1 miles January Total 20.1 miles January Goal - 320 miles To Go 299.9 miles All cycling.

Although i blasted through my goal in December, i think i will keep it the same as i am hoping to play more tennis this month. So put me down for 320 miles - it will be cycling. Thanks again Dave for all your work on this! You know we all appreciate it and it keeps us going.

Great Month everyone - Big Kudos to Dave and gang. Thanks so much for having this challenge. Please add me for January! Got a few more cycling miles in for the last day. December 31 - 12.2 miles December Total - 436.8 miles December Goal - 320 miles Over Goal - 116.8 miles HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL YOU @SS MOVERS!

My goal was to lose 30 lbs. A little after i started, i figured this would most likely take around 6 months if i was lucky. It took 5 months. But then it took 2 months to lose 2 more pounds! It really slows down once you are near your goal. I was /am an extremely obsessive/diligent logger. MFP was the key for me. It is…

Looks like i should have set my goal higher this month, but then, its always fun exceeding a goal! December 30th - cycling 20.1 miles December total - 424.6 miles December Goal 320 miles Over goal - 104.6 miles Keep going everyone - there is still time to Move your @Sss

I agree with all that posted before me. You look great and 30 lbs in 5 months is super. That is approx. 1.5 lbs a week which is perfect. Keep it up - you can already see a big difference - your face, your arms - its all good. You have proven you can do this so just keep going!

Age need not be a factor. I am 68 and before this year, and joining MFP - i have never lost this amount of weight. This was a total commitment for me. I am retired and i was injured (tore tendon around ankle) when i started this. I had been basically doing No exercise for the previous 6 months because of my injury. But…

If you drink coffee, Coffeemate has some lactose free creamers such as French Vanilla and they are yummy. And 35 cal a Tablespoon. Muscle Milk has a lactose free protein powder that is also very good.

So much better this year! Down about 30 lbs. I have not been at this weight since my early 20's - i am 68 - and have so much more energy now. I have always been fairly active, now i am insane! I usually do two sports a day and still have energy. I love the fact that the sizes i now wear are 4's and 6's - not 12 - 14. Its…

Adding to my surplus! December 28-- 16.2 miles December Total 404.5 miles December Goal - 320 miles Over Goal - 84.5 miles
