Maintained this month. Which would be awesome if I wasn't trying to lose lol Aiming for 176 by the end of June. A smaller goal, but any movement down would make me happy! I'm averaging a pound per month. Yeesh.

[nonameslob]

Its almost the end of August and I realized I haven't updated in months! Where is everyone? How is your year going?

6.4 pounds down for the year. I did get down around 175 this month but just didn't stay there. My measurements are down though! Maybe next month the scale will reflect

Hope everyone is having a great year.

[nonameslob]

Wow, the end of another month! A much more successful one for me. Woohoo! I did get down a little lower this month, but I'm sure I'll get right back there soon. Either way, it was my best month of the year!

Ok, in 2015 I WILL get to the 75 lbs lost mark and then sail on past it! In 2015 I WILL get into ONDERLAND!

I would LOVE to get to goal weight but I'm not sure that will happen. But, I will do my best, get as close as I can and bask in the joy of my accomplishments in the coming year!

In 2015 I WILL be able to run a 5k.....if I actually DO one is still not clear but I WILL be able to do it!




In 2015 I WILL be forced to do some clothes shopping!

In 2015 I WILL exercise..... feel like it or not! And I WILL increase my water in-take.

In 2015 I WILL become an example to my kids!

I am so upset when I read this! I just stopped! I got discouraged with my progress and now I am having to start all over again!

[nonameslob]

Another good month! I certainly won't be catching up to my goal but I'm happy to be losing consistently again. So close to a new decade after being in the 170s all year!!

No change for me in November. I have seriously cut back on exercise but my appetite was still raging, so it is understandable! I haven't been able to up the exercise too much so far in December and I don't expect to, but I already feel like my appetite is more under control. I will focus on losing weight through my diet for the rest of the year. A slow loss year for me, but I am still proud of myself. I'm closing in on three years into this journey and not only have I lost over 60 pounds, I also haven't had any serious gains in that time.

If I lose 3 pounds by the end of December, I can reach a nice round 15 pounds for the year!

[katiam247]

Thanks, NNS!

You should be proud, too. Losing 60 lbs is nothing to sneeze at and you kept on trying and didn't gain. That's a real accomplishment. Hope you hit your end of December goal. I am rooting for ya!

[katiam247]

Starting out the New Year much lighter!

2015 is done and onward to 2016!

[nonameslob]

Finally posting my end-of-year recap! Overall, a great year in terms of my overall health and fitness, even if the numbers here don't seem like much. I ran my first (two) 5K races after I began running in March, hiked two 14,000+ foot mountain peaks, and started biking a lot. 2016 should be a fantastic year and I think losing the final 21.4 pounds should come a lot easier than last year

Weight:

2015 Actual: 170.4 (-12.2 pounds)

September: 173 (-3.2)
October: 170.8 (-2.2)
November: 170.8 (-0)
December: 170.4 (-.4)

A slow year for weight loss, but I am quite pleased with myself. I'm now about 2.5 years into this journey from the point that I truly got serious about it and the fact that I have continued to lose, rather than maintain or even gain, is impressive.

Quite a few inches lost, though it has been interesting to see some areas lose fast than others. In some areas, I even gained inches throughout the year before it came back off! I guess it's just my body readjusting and muscle growth, etc.
