    I'd like to lose 30lbs by Christmas! I'm in!


    Started WOL on 15th September and have lost about 4lbs so far...

    Here's the situation:
    14 weeks until Christmas

    14 weeks x 2lbs/week = 28lbs (plus an extra few lbs that I hope to lose in the first few weeks, as I'm just starting off)....

    I'm 189lbs now so I'd like to be 159 when this challenge ends!

    I dropped that ball and have been eating whatever I want. I have gained back 5 lbs. Why is it soooo easy to gain the weight, but soooo hard to lose it?? I don't know why I do this to myself. It's not like I don't like healthy food. In fact I really love it! But I find myself chosing the bad stuff over and over. Trying to get back on the bandwagon today. So far, so good.

    I am feeling really terrible, because my eating hasn't been too bad (appart from the Marshmallows) but have put weight on which I find hard to move on from. I was sick last week and couldn't exercise so will put it down to that and move on. HELP

    That happens from time to time. Just start again. It's a change in life-style and it's not going to happen over night. Stick with it. You can do it!

    I'm checking in and I'm feeling a little frustrated. I started at 168, went down to 162 and now I'm back up to 165.4. Why? I've been counting my calories, working out regularly. Could it be I'm not drinking enough water?

    I'm up by 3.4 lbs. Lame.

    I am feeling a bit frustrated too. :grumble: I am at the same weight for 2 weeks now. :-/ I too have been working out A LOT and am under my calories so I am just not going to worry about it! Let's just keep doing what we know we are supposed to do eventually it will have no choice but to go down....:happy:

    So as I said in the post above I seem to be stuck on the scale despite all my efforts! My monthly"visitor" just left yesterday, but I noticed yesterday I felt VERY bloated so I am sure it is just water covering up all my hard work. I will admit it is messing with my head a little that I can't break into the 180's but I know not doing the work is NOT the answer so I will wait ever so patiently for this stupid *&^%@ scale to go down! I did however check my measurements which were last taken on 8/29 and I have lost at least 5 inches in the tummy!! YAY! No getting discouraged here JUST KEEP GOING!! :drinker:

    Awesome job on the measurements! You should be proud. I haven't measured myself for about a month...I'm going to do it today when I get home from work. Good idea! Thanks for the vote of confidence!

    UGGH! I've also been horrible about what i've been eating. On the plus side, i did finally get a treadmill so hopefully i can get back into a routine of working out. My youngest had her adenoids removed yesterday and we had to stay all night at the hospital, so it's been eating out for me. i did make my lunch for tomorrow so hopefully that'll be a good start. I really need to get on this!! :)

    Im in.... Ive been 235lbs for the last year or so now and this is getting out of hand. Im only 4'11 so im sure you must imagine how that looks. I really need to loose this weight. Ill keep you all posted. Wish me luck.

    I too am 4 11 so I can totally imagine. I was 200 starting off and have since lost alittle over 40 lbs. My goal is 135 for right now and IM i thiink 24 or 23 away from that goal. Being short stinks when it comes to weight because we show it very obviously

    I joined this challenge and then fell off the face of the earth!! LOL So glad to see so many doing so well. I would like to continue with the challane even though 30 lbs is unattainable to me now. I'll lose what I can and stay here for support and motivation.
