Can't seem to lose the last 10-15 = Team up for success

Sassy_Cass

I'm in! I'm aiming to lose about 13 lbs in total, but starting with 10
Start weight: 138 Goal weight: 125 - I'm tired of having a tire around my waist when i sit down! I'm ready to get back in shape, be happy and feel sexy again! I also REALLY want to be able to show off some nice toned arms in my strapless wedding dress!

Awesome - welcome girly to the group!!! I think it will be fun fun fun! And you will look STUNNING in your wedding dress! Fab arms!

Sassy_Cass

I'm in! Starting weight 216, current weight 202, goal weight 188.

I've been looking for some accountability to push past this mini-plateau, so I'll happily join the Tuesday weigh-in. Thanks!

Accountability is key in the journey - the more people you tell the more likely you are to succeed because deep down we never want to tell someone we failed!

Today I had my same water jug at my desk. At 2 I am only half done it, I am going home in 2 hours... lesson - drink faster :drinker:

Today I went off my meal plan *sigh* I packed my veggie wrap too spicy *added these hot peppers which was WAY too hot* so I did my best to purchase smart food - a small sub with a mushroom soup (yum).

jtp5184

I am on cup 5 of my 8 cups of water which isnt too good considering i already exercised today

I'd love to join this group! The last 15 is so freakin tough

sj915

I've been in this boat for MONTHS! I had a target goal of losing 50 lbs. I reached a loss of 45 and w/ the more cardio/tae bo i did, i went up in lbs and now i need that last 8-10 lbs gone and i just can't seem to do it! it runs my life and meal plans from these professionals are SOO hard to follow! I am a graduate student working a low paying internship, I can't afford all the incredients, special brands or special foods they require, not to mention the time to make all this stuff! tips would be helpful!

beaner1st

I would like to join also. This weight loss is happening slowly.
SW: 147
CW: 128.5
GW: Not sure. My initial goal was 130 which I now realize was to low and I got to that so now I set it at 120. I was 105 in high school and 12 years ago during my "divorce diet" but I think the 120 or a little lower is more reasonable for now. I am 5'2". So after all that rambling :laugh: I will go with a GW of 120.

Ok ladies (I don't think we have any gents yet) so far we have 23 committments to shed up to 20 pounds - this is great! I am confident that together we will be able to meet our goals! I am posting your "names" please update with your starting weight, your goal, and your motivation or "prize" for hitting your goal. Just add a simley face beside your name so I know who updated and can track it :happy: I think it would be neat to see how much weight we collectively wish to lose, and to be able to track our progress as individuals and as a team.
bethy0316 I really need the motivation ... yesterday I started this and didn't do so well, but did drink 10 glasses of water. Hopefully you will let me join in. Thanks :flowerforyou:

sass30 starting weight is 137.5, my goal is 130 hopefully before the end of the summer. My goal isn't really weight but I really want a rock hard body. My motivation is my kids...I don't want them to have unproductive lives full of watching tv and sitting on the couch all day long. Once I achieve that awesome body/weight I am going t get a new tattoo on my side.
Sassy_Cass Starting weight 148 - goal 135 (13 pounds) My motivation is being able to love myself again, I want to look in the mirror and see past the jiggle and see a beautiful healthy version of me! When I reach the 10 pound mark (and my neighbor does as well) we are buying a new outfit and going on a double date with the men in our lives *they provide a tun of support when reaching for the chocolate bar*

sweettandb: Starting weight as of today is 175.4 lbs. Goal wt. is 167-170 (still slightly over the suggested BMI but I wouldnt look right at that recommended weight in my opinion). My motivation is being as healthy as possible in order to avoid numerous medical issues and being able to enjoy life to the fullest with my hubby and kids. Once I reach my final goal, I am going on a shopping spree for some lovely grown and sexy outfits. Hubby will like that.
neela31 currently 141. My goal right now is 135 (6 pounds), but I'd LOVE to get to 130 (11 pounds). I've been in a platuea for over a year!! My motivation is to be able to wear low rise jeans.

HAPPY Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend and was able to enjoy the weather - hot as it is I am not rushing the summer, no need to speed into winter again!

Tomorrow is weigh in day so drink responsibly LoL

Hi everyone!
I have been drinking water like crazy! My body seriously craves it now! I've been drinking about 5 - 32oz bottles per day Hope everyone is doing great! Last week I decided to change things up a bit since I was feeling frustrated.... I changed my loss per week goal to .5 lb which gave me about 1440 calories to consume per day (yes this scared the heck outta me!). I also started c25k on friday and feel crazy to say it but im loving it- it really makes me want to push myself further which is very empowering I took a break from Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30- after completing 30 day shred...I just felt like I needed a break from her! Hopefully ill restart week 2 with her today (no promises there just yet lol). Sorry for the long post

Kick *kitten* today everyone
