    I'll post again on the 1st, but until than...

    * Screen Name: Steph_135
    * Starting Weight on January 1, 2011: fingers crossed for 179.5
    * Goal weight by January 31, 2011: fingers crossed for 169.5
    * What is your exercise plan?: get a gym membership, and go 5x / week!! use it for all it's worth! I really want to start lifting weights and gaining muscle, which may interfere with the 10 pounds, but I'm hopeful. I want to be strong and have sexy back muscles. :laugh:
    * Are you going to do a specific diet?: Healthy, balanced eating, with more protein and less white foods (less potatoes, white rice, flours, sugar, chips, etc)
    * What is your biggest motivation to lose the weight?: My 25th birthday (March)!! I want to be in the 150's by then.
    Thank you so much everyone!!! Yes on January 1 we will edit our first weigh in so we can be accuarate. I want to lose a total of 60 lbs by June 1. Which is a lot so I am starting my weight loss discipline now so that I can lose weight safetly and healthy.
    Ideally, I'd like to lose 50 lbs by May 31, 2011, so we both have to GET WITH THIS!! :angry: <-- my determined face

    I'm so committed that I scheduled the weigh ins into my calendar! I usually weigh on Tuesdays (trying to get away from the weighing everyday method that I've been doing for years), so I'd better remember it with it written down.

    Jam3114 it is so true too. I saw that quote on another womans signature and I just had to use it. And it really does make you think. I absoluetly love "Outback Steakhouse" but whenver I think of wanting to go there. I really do think that buying a size 6 or 8 pair of jeans would feel better than the blooming onion would taste! lol

    weight now 225
    hoping to have not gained by Jan. 1 :)-
    hoping to lose 10 lbs in Jan
    My exercise plan : I currently go to the gym to work out, but have been off schedule and haven't worked hard enough for long enough. I am planning to go more consistently (at least 2-- hour long sessions with a trainer and 3-- hour long cardio sessions a week)
    I really need to get back on track with my food. All of these Christmas treats are killing me. I am currently food journaling.
    My motivation is to quit relapsing and to change my lifestyle to become successful - for good!

    I'm in too. I'm in the December group and it has really been great. I do so much better when I'm in an active group than when I try it alone. I only have 10 pounds to lose until I'm at my goal so I imagine losing the last 10 won't happen in a month, but I'll give it my very best effort! I'll fill in the stats at the beginning of Jan.
