Hey i am in but wont be stating until Monday, Jan 3/11.. I started at 158.5 lbsand the last time i weight myself a week ago was 135lbs.. I am going to be 31 in May and want to be in my target weight range of 117-120lbs as well. I have done some running, 2 rounds of Insanity, a little p90x, a little turb jam now onto brazil butt lift/turbo fire/chalean extreme hybrid workout.. My problem is i am an emotional eating.. I have two small children which make working out in genreal extremely hard.. Ihave some loose skin from my second pregnancy and truly just want to tone up and be in the best shape of my life in 2011.. I have done weight watchers for yrs and it is the only thing i know..I try to diet without it and fail as i cant seem to stick to portion control or counting calories, fat and carbs.. I have made a bunch of cabbage soup and have the ingredients for the master cleanse i will start a day or two before my workouts start to flush out the toxins...I have been depressed that i have been working hard for on and off two years and my stomach isnt toing up just a few inches lost of the lower pooch.. I cant fit into my regular jeans and refuse to buy bigger clothes.. I am 5"4 and this is going ot be my year 2011 watch out...

today is Sunday, December 19,2010. I am challenging myself to lose 10 lbs in 5 weeks... which is Jan. 23,2011!!!! I actualy haven't gained any holiday weight... BUT with 3 family Christmas dinner lurking ahead... I don't want to start gaining weight now!

2011 is the year for me! 2010 can SUCK IT! I'm done with it! I'm getting married in 2011! January 28th is my 29th birthday. My birthday also means its time to renew my drivers license! I am promising myself that I can not lie on my drivers license this time!!

So I am looking for some people to keep me motivated and also join me to lose 10lbs in 5 weeks. Hopefully it can be done. I know this is a lot of weight in a little bit of time.... BUT we can do it!

Challenge accepted.... who is with me???

I'm getting MArried Aug. 13, 2011!

I live in Ohio. We are required to list our age, weight, height, eye/hair color on our drivers license. They don't actually weigh you so even if you are 200lbs...you can fill in 130lbs. they don't question it. obviously I know how much I really weigh.... So I just don't want to lie to myself. I don't want to feel ashamed to list my actual weight!

Is it too late to join. I want to lose my last 10lbs. I am 5"5 at 125 but I like to be back to 115. Right now all my weight is in my belly and my back so I look unproportioned. Any ideas on how to get rid of that?

zumba66girl

All right weighed in today at 175....Christmas was too good, but definitely hitting it hard this week and especially first of the year. Good luck everyone.....Still looking for the 160's....somewhere over the horizon.....:flowerforyou:

Allison128

I weighed in today: 136lbs! I didn't lose... but most importantly... IDIDN"T GAIN!!!

It is not to late to join us!!! This is turning out to be one hell of a challenge!!! But I think having this challenge really did help me this week with Christmas. I had this challenge in the back of my mind the whole time. I ate a little bit of everything but didn't go over board!!

I have read that you can not target specific areas to lose fat. I'm rather busty and I have been trying to target them to get smaller. no luck. As I have been losing weight though... I can see them shrinking!!! I think if you start doing some weight lifting you might get more toned in your stomach and back!


GOOD LUCK!

Thats what I though so yea I need to lose weight. I was thinking maybe having daily challenges maybe like an exercise or food challenge daily so we can keep accountable and a little extra to our fitness routine.

Hi everyone! I just got back yesterday from a two day trip to Pittsburgh! I had soo much fun but ate way too much! I had yummy Chipotle for lunch on tuesday and Smallman Street fries from Primanti Brothers for a late late dinner (fries with sour cream, cheese sauce, and bacon). Then for lunch i had the biggest piece of pizza from Bella Notte in the strip district! I had so fun but am starting to feel a little guilty about eating that much now. Oh well, cant wait for 2011!!!

sorry guys gained 6 lbs over the holiday season. Back on track but it is going slow. Hope to still lose another 10 - 15 lbs but I guess now my goal will be for Valentine's Day. Hope all you are doing better than I have done. Kind of a disappointment for myself but I will make my goal.....I will!!!!
