Had a very rough start to 2019. Between a breakup, move, and lots of job stress/lack of sleep getting my other job closed out and teaching a pretty heavy classload, I dipped back into the booze which made me dip back into the food. I haven't weighed yet this year and it's gonna be grim.
As of today, I'm back off the booze and junk. I'll get the courage to weigh here shortly.

30-day update.
1 Jan: 198.2
31 Jan: 186.8
So I’m down 11.4 lbs, and 1.8 lbs from my original goal (185 by the summer).
I’ve been tracking calories with MyFitnessPal, and generally limiting to 1,740/day or less. I only exceed 1,740 when it’s more than offset by exercise. Also running or walking 4-8 miles a day about 5 days a week (600 or more active calories on 20 days this month, according to my Apple Watch).
The first 9 lbs came off quickly in the first 2 weeks. It’s been very gradual since then.
So, I’m revising my goal: It’s now 185 by Valentines Day, and 176 by Memorial Day.

I think it is time to update my username.
Glad to have you back on the path, its rough out there and good habits are not easy.
218 this morning. I've upped my daily exercise walk from 30 to 45 minutes, and added a beast of a hill.

Started at 168.5, ended at 165. Lack of dedication and discipline...

177 this morning, for a 3.8% YTD (and month) loss. I literally can't remember the last time I was in the 170's.
It's hard to say how much motivation this thread provides, but it does stick in my head that I'm going to have to check in at least at the end of the month, and see how much everyone else has lost.
