MoodyLog the 70 lbs and still struggling to see it is so relatable. The mirror just does not update as fast as the scale does.

Week 4 at .25 and not seeing the scale move yet is right in the normal range - most people don't see much movement until after the first month at a dose. Holding on and watching how week 5 and 6 go is the right call. 87 lbs down from the OP's starting point is the picture of what sticking with it looks like.

Setting a goal 10-15 lbs above your 30s weight as the target rather than an ideal body image number is such a pragmatic approach. 'Able to do what I want as I get older' as the definition of success is the framing that tends to actually hold after you get there. 87 lbs down with 15 to go is almost exactly that.

That's a real transformation, you should be proud. Marathon-runner shape at this point. Still have 43 pounds left on my own path, started at 249, sitting at 198 now, aiming for 155.

Thank you! Female, 4'11, started at 193 and sitting at 122 now. Still chipping away at about 12 more pounds to go.

Great info, appreciate it. I'm in a pretty similar spot myself, about 5 or 6 pounds from goal.

Congrats! What exercise and diet approach got you here? Curious about your stats too, age and height?

Wow, that's great to hear. Genuinely excellent progress, congratulations.

Those final few pounds and stubborn last bit were a real grind for me, could hardly wait to cross the finish line. But reaching that target felt absolutely incredible once it happened.

Finally did it!! Eighteen weeks straight to reach my first target, and now heading into week nineteen feeling incredible!! Next up is 100 pounds gone overall, then chasing 250 after that!! LFG!!!

Thank you so much! Started out at 153kg myself. Wishing you all the best on your own journey!!

That's wonderful! You should be really proud of yourself. I hit my own goal averaging almost exactly a pound a week. You've absolutely got this!
