I'm a 34 year old wife and mother to 4 kiddos. My ultimate goal is to get back down to 135 lbs, my weight before hubby and I got married. My husband has giving me a wonderful incentive to reach my goal by my 35th birthday (1/31/11). I get to go on a full shopping spree!!! WOOT! I'm going to try my darndest to get there because what girl doesn't like to shop?

Count me in!

Name: Melissa
Current Weight: 201
Goal Weight By Holidays: 145/150

I'm 25 years old and a whopping 5 foot 1. . . and when I started dating my husband I was 106 pounds and a size 3 or 5. Right now I'm a size 18 (though since I've started My Fitness Pal at the beginning of the month, some of my old 16s are starting to fit again), and I really want to get back into shape. I've been working out with a trainer 3 days a week for 30 minutes (mostly strength training), and then follow each appointment with 30 minutes of cardio. I'm trying really hard to do 30 Day Shred on the other 4 days of the week, and have been doing my best to stay under 1200 calories a day and drink 8 full glasses of water. My husband needs to GAIN weight, so it has been pretty hard avoiding trigger foods that are still in our house for him. I really could use additional support, and look forward to being a part of this group

hi dolls, so glad to see all the newcomers! you've all been added to the spreadsheet & I will continue to accept new members until tomorrow night, since that's our first official weigh-in. I'm so excited to start this journey with all of you, hopefully we can all share recipes, tips, successes & struggles with each other along the way.

Hi there!

Can you believe I woke up extra early on a Sunday to do the weigh-in, lol!

I lost 3.1 lbs, yay!

GoneWithTheWhinge

I am sooooo in, we go on our first cruise the day before final weigh in and I need to be bikini ready for that!

SW: 169
GW: 125

I think that's right anyway - I'm used to working in kg so converting to lb is giving me some big numbers!!

greeneyedwitch

I turn 40 in January and it's really important to me to not be over-weight for my milestone birthday.

I WILL Do this.

greeneyedwitch

woohoo we've got 44 people on the updated list, still waiting for stats from three of them, but that's an amazing turn out! hopefully everyone stays commited! does anyone have any photoshop / banner making skills & is willing to make a skinny christmas banner for anyone participating that wants to put it in their signature?? I'm going to give it a try, but my banner skills are limited haha. so if anyone wants to give it a try i'd love it.

good luck dolls, last day before weigh-in so make sure you get a lot of water so you're not retaning tomorrow!

greeneyedwitch

Ok I just found something really cool......if you have an Android smart phone you can go to the app market and actually get a weightloss ticker to have on your phone from Ticker Factory. I'm downloading it on my phone now. Still working on the photoshop ticker too.

hi everyone weighing in at 180.2 today so dropped 2lb this week yay so pleased really though i wasn't going to drop anything. hope your all good and good luck for today.xx

I tried looking for a new thread for week 1, but don't see one yet. So i'll just post here.

Weighed-in this morning, but I'm scared it's a fluke. Is it really possible to lose 5 pounds in 4 days? well, being that I've lost 2 pounds in the past... ohh i don't know... YEAR! yes, yes, i think it is impossible. For you all, it is possible. I'm taking 12 medications which all cause weight GAIN, so this is exceptionally difficult.

So, in order to preserve my sanity, I'll count my weigh-in as 187 (which would be about 2 lbs) and keep my fingers crossed, and if it stays off, it stays off, and I'll just have a stellar weigh-in next week too!

liveskinnyxo

good morning dolls!! i've got you all updated if you posted here & will be making the new post now (:

Hello All:

Weighing in today at 206. Hoping to lose 56 by Christmas. I know that is kind of a steep expectation but I have 76 pounds to lose. I think with descipline and diligence I can acheive that. 6 months till Christmas thats 10lbs a month I can do it!!!! :bigsmile:

DanceYogaRun

If I lose 40 by Christmas, I will be beyond my current goal. I'm really hoping to have my body in my nearly ideal shape, whatever that may be, by the end of the year. So, yeah, I'm in. I can't wait to see my progress at the end of this year!

I'm a 41 year old British woman (but currently living in West Africa!!!) Married with 3 kids (11, 9 and 5).

penny5

I'm in!


My name is Penny and I'm 29 years old. I am a SAHM of two boys, ages 3 and 1.5yrs. I also run an in-home daycare. What really got my butt motivated was almost reaching 250lbs. I was 248.6lbs and I was so disappointed in myself. I decided to make changes and now I am 230lbs with a long way to go. I went to the doctor 4 months ago and found out that I am pre-diabetic so I want to get my blood sugar under control and feel good about my body again.

SW: 230lbs
GW: 199lbs (anything under 200lbs!)
My goal is to lose at least 31lbs so that I can be in 'one-derland'.

Anyone that is in this challenge, please feel free to send me a friend request and we can motivate each other along the way!

Good luck to everyone and I'm feeling positive about this!!!
