@lps1dragonfly I just realized you're talking 120-122 not 220-222. I am hoping you are keeping a healthy BMI hun <3 I don't know your height but if you fall into the average range then it may not be good for your body to lose 25 pounds... Just want you to be safe ❤️

MFP keeps track of that for you if you ever want to go back and look. It is listed under "progress" in the app or I think under "charts" on the website. Two pound gain isn't fun but it's manageable. Just get back on track, you'll do fine!

It's important to remember that you're beautiful no matter what the number on the scale says! You seem to understand that so you have the keys to success!! It took me a very long time to learn that, but for the first time ever I am losing weight for my health rather than anything else. Can't wait to see what you will do!

Not sure how you did it before, but I can tell you that what helped me lose and keep it off was by changing my everyday habits. I didn't ever starve myself of anything in particular. I allowed myself little indulgences on occasion. I just made sure that for the most part I chose healthy habits. That's what worked for me to…

Congrats! You will be there soon!

Just FYI... There is an an app/website that you can win money if you lose 10% of your body weight in 6 months. It is called Diet Bet. It's not affiliated with MFP (that I know of) but it's a way to keep yourself on better track... I have done their smaller challenges that are 4% in 4 weeks and they've really helped. I also…

You still did great if you only gained 0.2! Hope this week was better for you though :)

April 1st weigh in: 180.5 May 1st weigh in: June 1st weigh in: July 1st weigh in: August 1st weigh in: September 1st weigh in: Ultimate goal: 155

Okay I realized I need to clarify! Heaviest weight was 203. I'm starting this challenge at 180.5 so I'm just calling it 180 :wink:

I am in! SW 180 GW 155 Not sure if I'll get all the way to 155 but it's totally worth a shot! I think my body naturally sits about 160.

Welcome Urtel! I've been using MFP for five years off and on, and I'll tell you that if you stick to it, it will help you tremendously! Having friends keeps me going. Find someone who's encouraging, logs in often, and is real about what they struggle with. It also helps to find friends with similar start weight and goals,…

Thank you! I finally have a simple way to know if it should be "who" or "whom". Can you help me with quotation marks? In the sentence above, does the final mark belong before or after the period?

I do the same thing!! I have a goal for my birthday next Tuesday, and set little goals for each week to keep me on track. Once I hit those little ones I ruin it! It's terrible!! Good thing we're not celebrating my birthday the day of... that gives me more time to hit my goal.

Sw 203 Cw 174.1 Gw 140 I started really losing in October 2012. Got to 166 then hung out at 170ish for a long time. Recently got up to 180.1 and decided to start another diet to get me going again. Been on every day and I need some more support too!

my body does best when i eat 100-200 calories every 2-3 hours and drink my water. (i'm female so males might need more calories, i dont know.) this is what my fitness coach recommends for all of his clients, and it has worked well for all of us as far as i know. some people need protein at certain times during the day,…

this is the perfect challenge for me =] this is what i do on my own, it will be nice to have friends to check in with!
