new year's resolutions: lose 5-15 pounds by valentine's day

marathonrev

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!

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
01/19 -
01/26 -
02/02 -
02/09 -
02/16 -
Goal weight: 165

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:

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!

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!!

Good for you! (I love wraps!!)

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!

Thanks! I want a pair of knee high boots! Maybe, I'll get them when I hit one of my goals. Thanks for the idea!
