I have plateaued since January, and I really want to lose these last 20 pounds. I need some major support. I've already lost 90 pounds, but I just can't get this last weight off. Who's with me?

Awesome! I've never started (or been a part of) a group like this. Do you want to just post your starting weight and weekly weights? Weigh-ins on Mondays to keep those weekends accountable? How about putting what we're doing for exercise? Anything else?

I have taken a few days off of exercise mainly due to not feeling well and family illness. I plan to do a "golf course" walking workout on my treadmill later tonight. I will go at least 30 minutes, but I am hoping for more like 45 minutes at no lower than 3.5 MPH.
I am starting a ChaLean Extreme (which I've already done) and Turbo Fire (which I just got) hybrid on 1/3/11.
That had better blast away this stupid plateau! Oh, I am doing the Turbo Fire 5 day Inferno plan right after Christmas as well. 0 -

Date you started losing weight: began my weight loss journey in 2005. My highest weight was 200+ (I stopped weighing myself at 199 and I know I gained more) and my lowest weight has been 138.
Weight Lost to Date: lost and gained on the diet yo yo rollercoaster too many pounds to count
After having had some infertility issues the past couple of months and gaining 10lbs since August after vacation and then fertility drugs I'm ready to get back on the wagon and get as close to my goal as possible prior to getting pregnant. I absolutely LOVE working out and usually do an hour a day of either cardio (treadmill dance, kickbox) or toning with Tracy Anderson. With the holidays and with just getting back from being with my husband (he is an instructor pilot in the army and has been down in Alabama in a course. I went down on Thanksgiving and just got back the day before yesterday after having lived in a hotel room for 3 weeks) it has been hard to get back into my routine.
Looking forward to getting to know you all!0 -

I have been doing TF for the last 19 weeks. I've had good results and want to do the TF/CLX hybrid. I did CLX before as well and I really liked it. For me, didn't lose much weight w/it but definitely got stronger. I was waiting til I lost a few more lbs before I started to build up more muscle. At this point, I think I'll just do it and see what happens. I finish up TF schedule at end of the month so I will totally start the hybrid with you if you want a "workout buddy"!0 -

I have been walking for exercise, but have not been keeping up with it in the last month. I need a push to keep exercising regularly.0 -
Awesome! I'd love a buddy! I also didn't have too many results with CLX, but I did get stronger. I have some nice "guns", if I do say so myself. LOL What kind of results are you getting with TF? Any pounds/inches lost? I need to make sure my eating is better and actually log my calories more regularly.I'm in! I keep losing and gaining the same 2lbs and can't get past it.

I've had pretty good results with TF. I've lost about 17 lbs in the almost 20 weeks I've been doing it. I LOVE the intense cardio. Oh, I'm thinking I may actually start the hybrid on the 7th (Friday), since I prefer my rest day to be on Sunday. Thoughts? Not sure if you prefer a different day to for rest. The mid-week rest kinda throws me off. LOL0

I haven't thought that far in advance. I kind of like Saturday or Sunday to be rest days as well because of household duties, but usually by Wednesday, I am ready for a break.

I've been a lazy butt the last 4 months, maintaining and randomly exercising. Starting 30 day shred over in January in the mornings and working on mixing Yoga and some long walks in with it after work (if I don't have class), as soon as it's light enough after work to do it.0 -
I'm in, I want to lose 25, just lost 5 pounds....yeah.....0

Welcome, everyone!
kityngirl--I completely hear you on being lax and not exercising consistently. That has been me the last year. I'm so ready to get this weight off. I will do it in 2011!!!
Well, I actually ate pretty well yesterday and got in some exercise (although it was cut short by a puking child). Magically, the scale went down some. I hope to continue that trend. Oh, I am planning on making cookies and goodies probably tomorrow, and I will taste a few. I guess that means I'll need to get in a kick butt workout! 0 -

Hey Amy!! I cannot say I have plteaued........I just went off the charts and gained back 10 of the last 20. Knowing what I know, I am stopping this train NOW!!
I am going to get this last 20 off. I will check in with you starting 1/1/11 (but am working this entire month on changeing eating habits again)0 -

No biggie. Even if we do start on different days, we'll still be doing the same program. So we can still check in on each other's progress and keep each other motivated. 0 -

Yeah, Jeannie!!!! So happy to lose these last few pounds with you!
sas16--It'll be nice to have someone else to do the program with. I desperately need some accountability. Are you using the hybrid schedule that came with TF or something else? I got one emailed to me from someone's trainer that is a bit different. The one I am doing takes into consideration that you've already completed CLX, I believe.0 -

I am struggling with this last bit of weight...I do good with food and exercise and drop 5, then I go haywire on eating badly at night and gain it back. I am a big runner and recently started adding in strength training. It is the food that does me in! Oh, i do own p90x and want to give it a "real" whirl starting in January.
Good luck everyone!

Mary--Welcome! I started running in June 2009, and I ran my farthest race, a 10K, in June 2010. I took a break though because the summer weather was wicked hot and humid. I would like to start running again, but I might wait until the spring. I might try to get out over Christmas break a couple of times as long as it's not too cold (30s would be okay) and icy. I love it when I do it, but I was starting to feel tortured right before I stopped. Not sure what the deal was...
Looks like I will be shoveling some snow again today. We didn't get as much as the last time I shoveled. I'm going to wear my HRM to check out the burn though. I also plan on doing Turbo Jam Turbo Sculpt later today too.0 -
I was just going to use the one that came with TF. Although I didn't buy the advanced series so I'll have tweak it a bit and use the workouts I have. I'd be interested to see the one you have if possible.sas16--It'll be nice to have someone else to do the program with. I desperately need some accountability.

Send me a message with your email address, and I'll forward it on to you.
