    GW by July : 300

    I want to lose this weight by summer to have different options for clothes in the summer instead of trying to find clothes that fit or hide my fat.

    I plan on eating less than 1500 calories a day and burning at least 7-800 calories at workouts each day.

    lilfarm - don't lose heart :) Your 45 minutes every morning will be doing you the world of good and helping you build muscle. Your body will remember what it's doing and drop another few pounds for you before too long! I wish I could be as motivated as you in the mornings - I must make an effort!

    Goal by July 1st, 2011: 160lbs

    Why do you want to lose 50+ pounds?: I think I never had my right weight, and I'm tired of hating what I see in the mirror; it's time for me to do something and stop complaining.

    Hi, :happy:

    My screen name is sonybalony, (Sonia)

    My start weight on 1/1/11 was 232

    I am 65" tall

    Goal for July 1st is 180

    I want to lose 50+ because I hate feeling winded all the time, and I need to make some changes. I have gone to Boy Scout camp with my youngest son the last couple years and have found it getting harder and harder. My daddy died in April just before his 70th birthday. His and my momma's quality of life have been a huge issue for them for almost a decade. They couldn't go anywhere, do anything, and I realized that I want to be around a lifetime for my kiddos, a lifetime we can all enjoy. I talked to my momma today and she is very excited for me. She even asked my brother to get her recumbent bike out of the garage. I hope my motivation will encourage her as well.

    My plan for losing 50+ is to eat less than 1800 a day (I was eating ALOT more than that unawares) and have already lost a few sticking to this calorie range. Also, cardio 30 minutes every day and strength training 4 days a week for about 90 minutes. I started out doing 30 minutes at 2.5mph and a max incline of 5 and had to slow down, I could barely breathe and required my inhaler. Today I did 35 minutes at 3mph with a max incline of 8 and finished, red and sweaty but breathing!!! ;-)

    I am really looking forward to having extra encouragement during those trying times! I just joined MFP this week, weighing in at at 229.

    Just Finished W1D2 Cardio X of P90X

    I am drenched and gross and the sick part about it is that i am loving it. Last week when i did cardio x, i sweated but was not drenched. This week i can tell that i remembered the moves and really brought it. My Dreya rolls are even getting better but there still pretty sloppy. I really think this week is gonna be a good week for me. Also, yesterday when i did core synergistics i used a resistance cord and boy was that crappy, i got more of a burn using my weights. Kind of a bummer.

    Well I had a cheat meal yesterday, but I did not go crazy. My goal this week is to stay under 2,000 calories M-F and exercise everyday M-F. Last week M-Su I exercised 313 min and burn 3,782 calories.

    I hope you all enjoying the challenges as much as I am. Have a good week everyone! :flowerforyou:

    Anybody know where we can find the chart that Stephanie said she would so kindly be making? I wasn't sure if I missed it in the pages, if its in a different thread, or if it just hasn't made its way up yet. I am a competitive person so seeing how I did compared to everyone else will really help motivate me, thus the question.

    Thanks again to Stephanie for starting this group!
