Lose 20 lbs by Sept 2016

ljdw99

I don't post weekly but did join this challenge in May. I'm 5'11" gained 36 #s during the time my husband was diagnosed, treated & recovered from epiglottis cancer. I don't even remember eating during much of that time...I was living on no more than 3 hours sleep at a stretch...It was a horrible time but the good news is he's doing well & I'm back to where I was before. I started MFP in January weighing 258 pound OMG!

Stayed the same over the weekend...always a good thing since I eat a little more & only do 15 minutes of stretch yoga on Sunday instead of my usual 50 minutes of weights & core. So I have 11.5#s to lose in a few days less than 12 wks to meet this challenge. That's a # a wk. I've been averaging 5#s a month so I seem to be on track.
How are you guys doing?

I have been doing 1200 calorie, walding for the last 15 days, doing a 30 day crunch/ab challenge. at 47 the weight just does not want to come off. I was slim my whole life, through 5 pregnancies! Now my weight bounces around by 10 lbs if I dont drink 65 oz water per day! Any ideas on how to control that?

serafina57

Cyndikay2003, It does get harder as we get older. Be consistent day to day. I try to get in an extra walk a few days a week. Just 30 minutes more. I eat low carbs and lots of fresh produce.
I have one day a week, usually Sunday, that I go over my calories. Rotating, two really low cal days with two normal (1200) days, helps me too. I'm using a meal replacement drink. Vega One. No added sugar and 20 grand of protein really helps at only 150 calories.
I hope some of those ideas help.

New at posting in these boards, would love to join this even though it's rather late in the challenge.

CW is 154 GW 134 for September even though I have more to go after that (I'm 5'1")

vegan here (non judgemental though) I simply have to cut down the carbs and workout daily!

Have a good day everyone

Sounds great! I want to join in. I hope to lose at least that by September. Please feel free to add me as a friend! I need all the friends & motivation possible.

simplyluvNY

My goal is 1200. If exercise, I'll allow 1500. I will not exceed 1500. Only problem is how do I manage this when I go out to eat & have people over?

Hey all, might be a little late to the party but would love to join I'm. I'm a 25 female living in UK, and a nurse, I'm a runner (5/7 days) I'm already about 10 pounds down but it's the last 10 pounds that just won't let me be! 20 pounds loss has beenmy dream for ages! I'm a vegan (99%, veggie when I eat at my parents' house who are french and I'm pretty sure they count cheese as a vegetable...) and I'm starting a postgraduate course next year so I'm ready to roll! Add Me if you fancy!

SW - 150lbs (68kg)

I need to get this weight off and keep it off. I do a clean and gluten free (Celiac) diet. I just need motivation and accountability. No criticisms or unhealthy foods mentioned, please. It just doesn't help. Let's support each other and stay in touch here.

So... how is it looking for 20 off by Sept? I want 20 off.... by Dec 31, 2106

Good luck everyone! I'm finding for me now that I've lost 36#s it's unrealistic to plan on losing more 1#/wk. Darn it!!
