Hi everyone, I am new and trying out a couple different weight loss forums. I am looking for a place with challenges and interaction between members.

My start (March 4) weight: 237 lbs
Goal weight by April 1: 225lbs
I know 12 pounds seems extreme but I am just starting and am much larger than my body wants to be. I figure if I work hard this is a realistic goal for the first month.
Height: 5'11"
Age: 21

March 4: 237

CakeGirl75: my pattern of losing looks similar to yours at the moment -- lose a bunch and then hover for a while over that low weight. It's like my body wants to get used to it before losing some more.

March goal: -1.6 kgs

SW: 85.6
CW: 85.4 (-0.3)
GW: 84.0

Ughh, I am in the "hover" mode apparently, been between fluctuating between 160-161.2 (161 today) for almost 2 weeks! makes no difference in what I eat either, been as low as 1000 calories and my high is 1270 (most days between 11-1200 ) It's Super frustrating, but I am holding out for the whoosh! 150's are making me wait- but I am coming for them!

Thank you Joy for putting these challenges together for us!

I'm still enjoying my starting whoosh and taking every ounce. Hopefully I can make decent progress before the hard work really begins.

CakeGirl and Peach, hang in there! Once you power through the plateau you'll hopefully get a decent whoosh.

SW: 226.8

I'm at 225.2 this morning. TOM arrived on Monday evening and I've felt horrid ever since. Weather is yucking so not getting to do anything outside and didn't get to go to water aerobics but 2 days this week (instead of 4). Hoping to get in all 4 days next week and get back to my routine of jogging M,W,F.
Spring Break is just 2.5 weeks away!!!!

Thanks gardenerjoy and Crow! I am really hoping to get over the hover period really soon...did see a loss today :carrot:
Sorry Jb1975, that TOM can be such a jerk.
Hang in there Gapeach and BFR I am sure you will be rewarded soon for all your hard work!
Welcome to the forum slimmingforselflove! I hope that you find all the support and encouragement you need for your journey. It has been a great place for me to vent about my bad days, relate similar challenges with others and just be around people who know exactly what I am going through. Good luck to you in your journey!
