I'm 22... 5'5''... goal weight of 135 lbs. Maybe 132. Probably 135. That's a lot higher than most of you guys, but it's right in the middle of the BMI healthy chart, and I have a fairly large frame, so. I've already lost quite a bit...

Starting weight: 180 lbs

Current weight: 141 lbs

Goal weight: 135 lbs

I'm currently a size 8 (US), but I'd be thrilled to be a size 6.

I'm soooo close... I've seen 139 pop up on the scale once, but I binged that day (as I do maybe once a month) and woosh bye bye. But I'll get to 135 lbs, soon enough, I'm determined.

My weight was allll over the place when I weighed in throughout the week, but creeping slowly upward, and then I binged hardcore --I haven't binged for a long, long time--Friday and Saturday evening both. Ugh. I feel gross, physically because of all the junk that I ate, mentally because I was so close to the 130's and I let them slip away. I'm guessing I'm more like 142/143, not 144.8, but still. I have a new calorie goal and I'm starting a morning "wake-up!" floor workout this week, though. I can do this, I just need to get myself back together and in the right frame of mind! I refuse to go back to being overweight!

Good luck to everyone else--and congratulations to those who are hitting their goals!

I'm 5'5'' and 140... my goal weight is about 135 or so. I'd say that you're certainly not a beached whale! Of course, it depends on where from you're looking at it--for example, I used to be 180 lbs, so 135 to me seems perfectly reasonable. If you're usually in the 120's or somesuch and have gained to get to where you are, it might seem larger. But it's perfectly healthy!

Ok, I'm actually using Saturday morning's weigh-in, because it's TTOM and I went to a friend's house for dinner last night so I'm a little puffy. But yay, 143! I didn't quite make this month's goal, but I kept off what I'd lost and lost a bit, even with Christmas, so I'm pleased.

Doing okay, here!

I think it just depends on the individual. I, for example, have only lost 35 pounds... but I've lost TWO cup sizes. Ugh. Not what I was hoping for, but there's nothing to do about it, I suppose. It definitely does make it easier to fit into my (new, smaller) size.

Juuuuust finished all of mine today. I am so very glad that's over with.

Good luck to you!

It's been pretty rough... it's finals period here right now. But I managed to keep on track this week every day but Thursday (even though I had some serious cravings last night), so! Hoping to continue this progress this week.

Good luck, everyone!

Although water weight and other similar things can make my weight jump around a pound or two from day to day, I definitely feel that I'm more inclined to stick to my eating plan if I weigh in every day. Something about it just makes me feel even more accountable, those numbers really motivate me. Plus, it's a nice boost every morning when I get out of bed and see a number much lower than it was a while ago!

Honestly, I think that DVDs, CDs, books, etc. (depending on his interests), are really safe bets. I got my boyfriend a hard-to-find DVD for his birthday and he was thrilled, and I'm thinking about a really nice pair of headphones for Christmas.

As long as it relates to his interests or you guys as a couple somehow, it is really just about the gesture, you know? He shouldn't dump you just because you give him a gift that's not SO EXCITING OH MY GOD. So.

Yes, this is exactly what I need for this month in order to break through to my goal. I'm totally in! Be back in the morning for a weigh-in.
