SW: 239lbs CW: 190.8lbs GW: 160lbs Hey everyone. I’m glad to see many of you are well on your way to starting February out right! For me, progress has been slow, but I’m still moving in the right direction so that’s what matters. Today I weighed in at 190.8, and my lowest since starting has been 190. 189lbs marks the big…

Today I weighed in at 192 even! That puts me at only 2lbs above my lowest since starting. My goal was to reach 190 by the end of the month to erase the 8lbs I quickly gained over the holidays. Hopefully I can still reach it, it’ll be close. I never want to fall off the bandwagon for a full month again. It’s too easy to do…

SW: 239 CW: 194.6 GW: 160 I’m slowly but surely shedding the holiday pounds I gained, and I’m about on track to get to 190 or close to by the end of the month. I just need to keep my consistency going, because that’s what makes all the difference. I also want to push myself to hit my step goal more often, and begin holding…

@aliciap0116 My mom swears by how not to die! She switched her eating entirely and lives such a better lifestyle now. She could never allow anything to stick which was her biggest problem (and most people’s problem) when it comes to health and weight loss. My sister adapted the plant-based diet and she is not overweight at…

SW: 239 CW: 195.6 GW: 160 January is off to a good start! I lost 2.6 of the 8.2 I gained over the holidays. Still hoping to reach 190 by the end of the month to officially undo the damage I did, but I’m happy I’m successfully transitioning back into things. @BrownSugar174 you look AWESOME! You should be very proud! I’m…

Hey everyone! I’m excited to begin 2020 with you all. SW: 239lbs 5/13/19 CW: 198lbs (as of this morning!) 1/2/19 So I’m very happy with how 2019 went overall. I was approaching a very, very unhealthy point, and I ended the year with a net loss of 41lbs, which is a big deal to me. I steadily lost every month starting in…

Well, December regrettably, was not a good month for me. I was doing great from May to October, with a loss of 49lbs total, then in November, my losses halted but I was able to maintain my 190lbs. December is the first time I’ve seen any kind of sliding backwards. I’m disappointed in myself, but not overly so. I still know…

Hi guys! November did not end strongly for me. I’m taking my official start weight for December tomorrow, and my goal will be -5 from that. SW: 239 (May 2019) CW: 191.8 (as of this morning-did not weigh on the scale I usually do though, so it could be a little more) November was a rough month. My goal was to hit 188.2, and…

Hey guys. I’ve read all of the posts up to this point and I’m so glad so many people are having success! To the ones that are having a rough time, it will pass. I started November at 193.2, so my goal for the end is 188.2. The month started off BADLY but today I weighed in at 190.2. I’m 2lbs away from my goal for the month…

November has been tough for me. I lost 1.4lbs, putting me at 191.8, but then my weight spiked a little, up to 194.2. I weighed in today at 192.6, but I started at 193.2 this month. I can’t seem to get through this plateau/rough patch. I have by no means lost control, and my weight has only moved up a little, but I hate…

First off, I can’t believe this is already my 7th month in the group! @RavenStCloud you are awesome for bringing all of us together. SW: 239 CW: 195.4 GW: 160 My goal for October was to reach 195, and I did. 193.2 was the lowest I hit. This weekend I went off course so my weight spiked up a little, but I know it’ll go back…

I fell off the bandwagon slightly for a (planned) weekend with a lot of alcohol and other calories. It was a wedding weekend for a close friend. My weight spiked but I got it back down, and now I’m only .6 up from my lowest weigh in at 195.6. Assuming I get the .6 off by the end of the month, I’ll still have hit my goal of…

Well guys, today I weighed in at 197.4, so I’m on track to meet my 195 goal for the month. My nutrition and calories have been good lately, but I need to get back into a regular exercise routine. I have been slacking a lot in that area, and I keep making excuses. I also need to tighten my fasting back up. I’ve been letting…

September was a little hard for me because I had a lot going on, but I did end up reaching my goal of 5lbs lost. (SW 239), On October 1st I was at 200.4, and yesterday, I weighed in at 199.2. Today it stuck, at 199.4. I am SO happy to have reached onederland!!! My goal for the rest of the month is to reach 195.4. I have a…

We’re one week in! And I weighed in at 204 even today! I am at a total of 35lbs lost, and I’m so happy. My goal for September is to reach 202.6, and anything extra would be so awesome! I am getting so close to onederland and I am proud of how far I’ve come, and so thankful for everyone that has supported me so far. Weight…

SW: 239 CW: 207.6 GW: 160 August was a very successful month for me. My goal was only to lose 5lbs, and I somehow lost 10! So that was a big victory. I stayed on my plans very well, with only maybe 3ish days of deviating a little. September might be a little tougher, as it’s my birthday month, along with a few other…

I have been using IF as well! For the first two months of my losing, I didn’t, and I lost, but slowly. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. In the month of August, I was strict with my IF for all but maybe 1-2 days I was a little off, and my losses sped up. I lost about 10lbs this month, when my goal was only 5! I am…

Well, I began August at 219, so I set my goal for the month to end at 214. I struggled last month to hit that due to traveling setbacks, and the month prior I lost 5.8, so I’m always focusing on “the next 5lbs” for my monthly goals. The slow and steady approach has worked for me this time better than any of the others,…

Well, I’m getting a little late of a start to the group this time because I just got back today from vacation. July was a month full of traveling. I was gone for about half of the month. Despite that though, my goal was to hit 219, to finally get out of the 220’s, and my lowest before vacation was 218.6, so I narrowly…

Well, I started this month off at 224.4, and my goal was to reach 219 or below. It was a hard month full of traveling and setbacks. I started to think that I wasn’t going to reach it. My body has a weird habit of seeing no losses, even gains, and then suddenly, it’ll have a spike in losses. That happened this week. Today I…

Feel free to add me! I am 21, and I’ve been back at trying to be healthy just since mid May. My SW was 239 (I gained a LOT in a short period from stress eating) and my GW is 160. Once I get there I’ll reevaluate. I’m currently down 15lbs, but have a long way to go. Sometimes I’m very available, and sometimes I’m very busy,…

SW: 239 CW: 224.4 GW: 160 June was a successful month for me. My goal was to end the month at 225 or less, and I achieved that right on the money. I kept my exercise goals up and I am proud. July will be a hard month because I’ll be traveling, but I’m determined not to mess up my progress. July goals: I would like to lose…

SW(and highest weight): 239 LW: 152 CW: 232.4(start of month) GW: 160 I am happy to say that my goal was to get down to 225 by the end of the month, and I achieved that. I am currently at 224.6. I still have a long way to go, but I’m on my way, and I’m proud of the progress I’ve made so far. I also had the exercise goals…

I’ll post an update because I haven’t in a while. On May 29th, I weighed in at 232.4, and made my goal for the end of June to get down to 225. I weighed in yesterday, and I am down to 227 even. So I am doing pretty well. I am down 12lbs total since beginning at 239lbs. I’m hoping I hit my goal of 225 by the end of June,…

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all of the input. I won’t be trying any new cleanses, haha, it’s now decided. I am just the type of person that doesn’t like to fall victim to these types of things, so I just wanted to really see what the MFP community had to say about it all. I am trying to lose weight, as I mentioned above,…

Just to piggy back off of this a little, the argument I’ve heard for them, is that the body cleanses itself (which I know) but a good cleanse can give your body a break from the hard work of doing this itself for a few days. Again, not sure if it’s true or a complete lie, but figured I’d add that in.

So far since my first post I am doing pretty well. My weight got down to 229.4, so with my goal being to get down to 225 by the end of the month, I’d say I’m well on my way. I’m still in such an early stage of this journey, but I’m getting there. I’m currently down 9.6lbs total, and while I have a long way to go, I’m proud…

SW(and highest weight): 239 LW: 152 CW: 232.4 GW: 160 My goals for June are to get to 225 by the end of the month minimum. I also would like to keep up my exercise regimen to at least 4 times a week, 30 minutes a day. My NSV for May is finally starting up again on the path to a healthy life. My weight is way higher than…
