Is it too late to join?? I have my first two weights? But would love to set my goal at 15lbs from now... :-)
it's not too late to join! 15 might be too high, but 5-8 is definitely do-able!

Down .8 in the last 5 weeks... I am getting *so* frustrated. If I only had a few pounds to go (or even 20 or 30 pounds) this would be okay. But with at least 80 pounds to go I am feeling like I am never going to get to my goal weight or even anywhere near it!
i know it's frustrating but you'll get there! you are doing great!0 -

I'm really not sure when I should weigh.. When it's my nights to work.. I generally eat for almost 24 hours.. (I only take a few hour nap during the day before heading back to work).. So we will see how this goes!
So excited to I found MFP.. and looking forward to watching everyone meet their goals!!!!!!0 -

^ I like!!
Will be doing my "virtual shopping" sometime this weekend. I already have a real target outfit though - bought a dress one size too small (it was such a great deal). The zipper only goes up half way... it looks great but it doesn't zip up! We'll see how it goes!
Weight is still on track this morning! yay!0 -

OMG WOW!!! :noway: You lost more than 11 pounds in 2 weeks? I mean, good for you, but is that okay for you? Are you doing this the right way? (Hope you're not offended by my questions - just really hope this weight loss sticks and they say more than 2 lbs a week is iffy in that regard!) All the best and keep up the success! :flowerforyou:0 -
Yea.. It's been crazy.. I think a lot of it has to do with better eating habits.. Healthier food choices.. And the fact I'm still breastfeeding.. I haven't reached my calorie goal yet.. But it's not that I'm trying to eat that few... And yesterday was a bad eating day for me.. But I need to go shopping.. I haven't gone grocery shopping since this lifestyle change.. So I've been trying to manage with what I've had on hand. In other words, I'm trying to do it the right way!!!0
-
Oh you're breastfeeding! Have you noted that in your MFP goals? I'm not 100% sure but I think you're supposed to eat even more! Apparantly breastfeeding will burn mega calories and allow fast weight loss! (good for you! hee hee)
Congrats on your baby! I'm "pre-heating my oven" for a 2011 conception myself fingers crossed! :happy:
Good luck with the grocery shopping! Protein and fibre! Get good dense bread and healthy meats and just pile up a big 'ol sandwich for a quick meal that can be about 500 calories if you make it right! (12 grain bread can be about 150 cals per slice alone depending on the brand!)0 -
I know I am late to the challenge, but I would like to join anyway. My current weight is 209. I believe I can lose 5 pounds in 30 days, but maybe I can lose even more! I will try for 10!0

Um, hi! December kinda got away from me... :grumble: But I am STILL IN THIS. Even if there is only a month left in this challenge.
I've spent the last two weeks getting my diet back in order (too much holiday chocolate -- I didn't GAIN, thankfully, but I still ate more sugar than I should have) and getting back into a fitness routine. Now that those are in order, I can start paying more attention to the # on the scale. So, here goes.
Starting weight: 171
12/15 - n/a
12/22 - n/a
12/29 - n/a
01/05 - n/a
01/12 - 170

I've found some new motivation that I think will help keep me more accountable and on track than I've been the past six months -- on Feb. 14th the hubby and I go in for our first preconception appointment! We're not TTC YET, and won't be starting until I get AT LEAST another 20 lbs off, but it's a HUGE motivator for me to get healthy so we can get to the TTC stage. :happy:0 -
I didnt do window shopping online this weekend but I did go to the mall. I was able to get in a size 14 skinny jeans-they were stretch but hey I was able to get them on (biggest size pants 18-20) & I fit a size Large Shirt (Biggest size 1x-2x)
Ok, so I was able to try the Wii Zumba game today and I think Im going to love it! It's cool trying to learn the dance steps. I know some of them from the Zumba classes I have taken but some Im just lost. Another bonus is that I burned 652 cals in 68 mins! Thats pretty good for a game. Soooo, in my book, Zumba is a winner! Have a Great Weekend Everyone!0 -
I add the calories in from BFing.. 300 a day. I made a super yummy wrap today.. So finally had a big chunk of calories gone.. Now only 900 more until midnight (I work tonight) so hopefully I can eat close to 900 more before then!!0

Good for you! (I love wraps!!)0

Ok so I did my window shopping, except it's for my 1 year anniversary instead of Valentine's day. My anniversary is on Feb. 6th so we'll probably go out then, and I was thinking I'd cook him a special dinner for Valentine's day and we'd stay home. So anyways, I LOVE this dress. If not this, something similar to it (and ONLY if I reach my goal). Even when I was in good shape, I never would have tried to wear this so...hoping to shock the crap out of my wonderful husband! :blushing:

As far as a goal outfit... I'll be shopping tomorrow! Maybe I'll find a deal on something I love in a size 6.
I'd like to at least find a cute new workout outfit. Soccer starts soon and I haven't replaced my workout pants since I started in July, 30# ago!0 -
