I'll join in. Already lost 14 pounds in January, but since my goal is 220 by PAX, that means there's still 16 to go.. I think I'm on the right track.
Awesome work, btw. Didn't want you to think this was overlooked.. that's great progress.. keep it up.

Just realized my maths sucked here. Lost 16 so far.. 14 to go... I thought exercise was supposed to make my brain work better?

Long-term, I want to reach a healthy 200. In the next 60 days, I don't think it's crazy to want to lose 15 pounds, more if I can get it
ALSO: There is now a PAX East Group Challenge on Fitocracy! For the people here trying to gain weight, or not aiming for pure weight loss, this is your chance to snag a prize as well! One premium, highly collectible PAX East 2012 Challenge Coin will go to the Fitocrat with the largest accumulated points starting today, and ending Thursday April 5th!
Looks like I am going from 3 days a week in the gym to 5. Soooooo competitive.

Yeahhhh... I've seen the number of points people put up in the Pax East 2012 group.. I won't be able to come close to that. I'll settle for hitting my weight loss goal, and looking sweet for PAX
Awesome idea though... (and who am I kidding, of course I'll be joining the challenge

Goals for this week: cut down my meal size, cut down soda, cut down snacks. throw in some exercise at least 15 minutes a day. If I must have the need to feel absolutely lazy and not want to do anything do at least 3 songs on Lets Dance 3 to get moving.
and just a little update from the past few days. So far so good. I've been having small breakfasts (compared to my usually non-existent ones), What ever my school gives me for Lunch (mostly salads and sandwiches) a small snack after school (usually a protein or fiber bar) and smaller dinner sizes. And for when I can't resist, I even halved how much ice cream I take from the freezer after dinner. Surprisingly satisfying. I go to bed feeling content and I've probably halved what I usually eat.
It's only been 4 days since I started, but I'm feeling pretty darn good so far. I also want to join a gym at some point, but I'm too awkward to go to a place like that alone, and I don't know anyone who would join me. So that's an in general goal from here to forever.
Cosplay Check List: WOOPER [X]
WOOP WOOP!
You can get EA Active for dirt cheap from Amazon for all the consoles, if you don't want to work out in a gym it's a really good home program.

With the challenge going off - this might inspire me to move more.
Plan - Cardio M, T, Th, Fri, Sat. Wed - powerwalk mile over lunch break when there are no reps, as I'm too drained to gym when I finish work. No more concentrated sweets until PAX
I'll convert my urge to eat cookies into the urge to make cookies for CB!

Thanks!
Yeah, I've cut all sugar producing veggies and fruits, I pretty much just have lettuce (a head of romaine each workday as a salad) and maybe a cup of strawberrys with homemade sugar free whipped cream on it on the weekends. Salt I'm pretty good on, the most salt a day I get is from the 4 strips of bacon I put on the aforementioned salad, which isn't a ton.
I don't eat super high fat either, the fattiest thing I have a week is either an order of wings or the steaks I usually have for dinner once a week. Every other night it's usually chicken or salad.

So I decided earlier this week that when I have to go to the restroom, instead of going to the one that's 150 or so feet from my cube, I'd walk up three flights of stairs to the top floor of my building and use that bathroom instead. (Feeling oddly motivated to climb stairs since getting my fitbit...) So I've been doing that for a few days, and it's going well (although drinking all the water recommended means almost 24 flights of stairs a day...) and yesterday I hit a bit of a roadblock. Around noon, I put my healthy choice steamer in the microwave for lunch and suddenly realized I had to pee. So I look at the microwave...3 minutes and 57 seconds remaining. Should I ditch my 'walk three flights to pee' creed just for this one special occurrence? No, I realized. If I ditch it for this excuse then suddenly there'll be other excuses that'll start sounding reasonable (oh, I'm in a hurry) (oh, I need to stop by someone's desk on the way) (blah blah blah). 3 minutes and 42 seconds remaining. I bolt down the hallway, deciding it will be faster to RUN up all three flights of stairs, go to the bathroom, wash my hands, run back down the stairs and down the hallway, just in time to hear the "BEEP BEEP BEEP" of the microwave finishing. Then I look at the package, see that I have to leave it in the microwave for 2 minutes after it finishes ANYWAY, and realize I didn't have to run. FAIL!
However, now it has me motivated to run up the stairs every time! Because it wasn't actually that hard. So hurrah for the little things that will help take the pounds off, am I right?

Also, I've recently busted out the Pokewalker again. My goal, to have a level 100 Pokemon PURELY from exercise.
I have shrunk though, losing a total of 6 inches from arms, legs, stomach and neck over the past 2 months. That helped make me feel a little better!

Been working on this on and off since last PAX. So far down 34 lbs (9 in the last 3 weeks thanks to seeing a nutritionist). Starting to get serious again and this thread will really help push me to stick to my workout schedule (and actually updating fitocracy).
plateaus definitely suck, but at least you are sticking with it! better to stay the same than go up, I say! so props to you!

You can create workout routines or follow what other people are doing. I used it last night at the gym and it's very quick and easy to figure out. Free app for android and iOS. Android can pay $4.99 for some additional features and tracking stat information. I'm excited to see my progression through this, just wish I had found it when I started to see full trending.

I find the Fitocracy website runs fine on my Windows Phone. No app needed.
I've taken to just using OneNote to track my workouts, and transposing later, so I can more easily see my historical data and notes.
Also, LedaXI - per OP, link is
Code is 4GQQ2
I hit a plateau on my weight loss for a few weeks and got really discouraged. I completely fell off the workout wagon after New Year's (and SWTOR >.<), so this will be good motivation to get my ass in gear. Fortunately I didn't totally fall off on my eating habits, and suddenly I started losing again after hovering for weeks. No idea why, but I'm currently down 12 pounds from where I started, and I certainly want to keep it going!
