Congratulations losers!!!!!!!
Even though I have put on 1lb this week this thread is doing me no end of good, I have cycled and walked and eaten very well today, next wednesday is in sight........0 -
I was doing soooo well and then I found out that we are going to relocate to Massachusetts from California...and now I am just plain stressed out because it is such short notice. I am not worried about moving across the country as much as I am about how we are going to get it done!!

I'm down to try for 30lbs by christmas!!! That would be awesome!!! I've been in gear for about 6 weeks and lost 5 1/2 so far. I'm trying to step it up into high gear with doing step aerobics classes in my working out routine. i'm also on a 1200 cal a day food thing too. let's rock n roll!!!!
we can do this ladies! 0 -
Hi all I am having to take a good hard look at my diet mainly my sodium intake. I am stuck as far as the scale goes I did however, take my measurements again and in the past 37 days I have lost a total of 17.5in!! 5.5in of my waist and 5in off my hips too!! :drinker: hopefully I can get the scale to cooperate in the coming week!! :grumble:0

30 pounds huh? no sure..10 weeks to lose 30..guess its possible. I'll try.
SW (10/11/10) 204.4
GW for 12/25- 174.4.
We'll see..I lose 2-3 pounds a week because of hard exercise so this is possible. and my GW is 140 so that will definately bring me closer.0 -
I am with you! I woke up this morning with the same determined idea. I am on a 1200 calorie diet as well, and my goal is to lose 30 pounds by Christmas. I know we can do this! Oh yeah, I am doing 30 min of cardio 5 days a week. I gotta start somewhere.0
-
When I started out I was doing 1200 cals and 30 minutes 5 days a week. I doesnt seem like alot of exercise but it had me losing an average of 4 lbs a week. Of course now Ive slowed down alot but thats because my bodies gotten use to it. Good luck you can do it wtih just the 30 minutes a day. Im now at 1 lb average a week. Dunno if Im gonna get the 30 by xmas at this rate but Im sure has heck gonna try. Got 19 to lose for goal weight!0

Sorry I haven't left a message lately been busy and then got a horrible tummy bug, and waiting for my body to rehydrate again before I weigh in. Wish I could take the 3kg loss (unfortunatly I think it is all liquid!!!) So will leave this weeks weigh in and update again next week.:laugh:
I am still on track though to lose the 30 pounds by Christman.
Have a good day0 -

hello to you! welcome, the more the merrier - weigh day tomorrow for me, choose your day post your progress and good luck at shifting as much as you can for xmas! what a lovely present you are giving yourself!!!! Debbie0 -
Count me IN! I have my dream wedding just before Christmas and have had to buy a larger dress.. why do they make wedding dresses for people with TINY backs! I don't think i'm especially broad but it fits me everywhere else (because it's empire line hah!)
HOWEVER.. I still have the original dress and my aim is to fit into that one - I want to work on toning my back because I AM a bit flabby there (and elsewhere) so I'm definitely in on this one! hopefully my back is where the fat will fall off first.... I'm not particularly busty either so, fingers crossed!
Good luck to everyone else!0 -
Morning Wednesday weighers! I am happy 2 off this week AND I HAVE ENTERED THE HEALTHY BMI CATEGORY(just but still!) I am not going to make my 25/10 goal but I am already contemplating nov 25th's.... Hope you all had a good week!
Oh yes I will just tell you guys of a situation I have got at the mo.... Got an old friend here who thinks I look old n really should stop dieting......getting on my nerves a bit! To say the least love her but this fortnight is gonna be interesting!!!0
