Count me in. However, this year I only want to get to my goal which is 79 kg (I'm 1.7 kg away). But the big weight loss for me was 2012, where I lost more than 20 kg.
Now I look totally different. And I seem to attract a bit more female attention too (unless I'm just hallucinating). It does feel really good to shed fat and look leaner.

The way I'm doing it is counting every single calorie that goes into my mouth, and keeping the daily total below a specified number - in my case, 1,200 calories. I'm trying to maintain a balance of protein, carbs, vegetables, and even fat, which is needed to metabolize some vitamins.
So if I have 260 calories at breakfast and 500 at lunch, I know I can spend 440 on dinner. I don't really feel hungry most of the time. I haven't had one sugary drink, one cookie, one cupcake or two pieces of candy since I started. (I picked up a butterscotch candy at a booth at NAMM, started to suck on it, and it was too sweet. I threw it away.)
I've been holding steady for a while being that I've been on the road the last six weeks. I'd say traveling without gaining weight is a success.
My travel schedule slows down after this weekend, so I'll be back to concentrating on weight loss.

Joining in here.....I'm 5'7" and about 240......I need to be at 180 or so.......been doing a new kettlebell workout the last couple of days......thought my heart was going to pound it's way right out of my chest.
Yeah..that is a great method.. worked for me in the past.
want to get back on that one too
The protein after a while causes this sort of burning sensation on the soles of my feet; I'm not sure if its gaut or just the feeling of burning off more, but I'm trying to up good cholesterol and lower uric acid (I was at a 9.2 last I checked in with my physical).
I hear I look like I've already lost some but I'm keeping going.
One thing I learned is never look down. It's a secret kept by all my health books, the FDA, and so on.
Why, you ask?
Because the least progress occurs there. Everyone thinks their workouts matter on their concentrated exercises.
If we look at our bodies (especially overweight individuals) and ignore our arms and legs we are like triangles. We have top to bottom topology. We eat by putting good "down" our bodies, it only makes sense we gain/lose the same way. Your arms and legs are skinny because they are the "flexors" of the triangle, which in turn, if we use them, the triangle will contract, and adapt to the workouts as they continue.
So that's my stupid dissertation for the day. Enjoy, and god bless nobody.
OK, 25 pounds today - exactly two months, January 2nd to March 1st. I'm shooting to lose the next 10 by the end of March - one pound every three days. Then I'll have 5 pounds left to lose ... or 10, depending on how I look.
A little over 35 since December. Having to watch everything I eat so the insulin pump does its job seems to be a good thing.
Well, that wedding I did last weekend slowed me down a bit. I'm at 31 pounds since January 2nd. I'll be eating more this weekend, so maybe another little slowdown.
I'm still yo-yo'ing, I binge too much which screws up. I need to stop buying trail-mix bags, I can eat them easily in one sitting and those big bags are like 4K Kcal.
However I decided to lose a bit more weight, my new goal is 165.

Starting to cut again...
Got a BJJ competition coming up in 3 weeks and i need to get back down to 172lbs from 182lbs (6'2).
It should take me a week or two but i decided to start a bit earlier as last one i was cutting it a bit short and ended up at exactly the right weight.
This time i would rather be a couple pounds under so i don't have to worry about it the day before and can eat a proper dinner and breakfast.
As usual all i do is cut each of my 4 meals by a third and weight just drops off.

Medication is partly to blame in my case. My doctor decided to counter that with the addition of Metformin, which is really for diabetes. Good lord that stuff is horrible. Do not take Metformin.
I've cut all dinners down to fish and raw veggies, but I still have trouble with lunch, as I love a good sandwich, and bread is the killer. Greek yogurt is my dessert (pineapple Chobani).
I'm adding mild exercise (taking walks), because I keep bouncing between 220lb and 230lb (with clothes, jacket, shoes, etc). I'm a bit over 6ft, so that's too much. I'll come back when I've shed 10lbs. If.
