    This week wasn't a good week for me. :-( I actually gained 1.3lbs putting me to 219.5. :sad: I am going to work my butt off this coming weekend and next week and I'm going to come with better results.

    Congrats to all the ladies that lost this week!! :happy:

    My name is Rebecca and I am from Texas. I need to lose 40lbs by Christmas. My husband and I are trying to get pregnant and my doc told me that it is best for me to lose the weight.

    Starting weight: 210
    Goal weight: 170
    Plans on how to get there: work out 5 days a week/ givew up soft drinks and drink lots of water/ eat healthy

    By biggest down fall is lunch.... I find it so hard for me to stick to my plan at lunch..... Oh and also social eating. If everybody is eating bad then I eat bad... I can use some help and support from anybody out there. HELP ME!!!!

    I have gained 8 since the beginning of summer and really need this challenge to stay on track! I am all in 100%!
    So:
    Starting weight: 185.5
    Goal weight 145!

    That would put me 20 from where I want to finish!
    I plan on exercising an hour a day, 6 days a week.
    I also will maintain 1400 calories!!

    Brooke....I share in your results. I gained 1 pound this week. It was very discouraging because I place alot of value of success on the number on the scale. I felt like a looser...but then I just started thinking...I didn't put on my weight in one week....and I can't expect to loose it on one week either. I love your positivity and resolve - you WILL do it this week...we both will...I just wish I could loose it like a guy...lol...my husband sneezes and drops 5 pounds...lol!

    So this is my post...I gained one..ugh! New Current is 199 :(

    I LOVE your comment about not losing all your weight in one week...I will have to keep that in mind when I know I'm not going to see the number on the scale that I want to see. It can definitely be discouraging but that's one thing I love about MFP is the support that everyone gives one another...it makes you want to succeed even more. So yes..WE both will do it this week and have some good news for next Friday's weigh in. Hope you have a great weekend and a successful week ahead. :happy:

    1)This is my time to get the pounds off. I would like to get my tapes out and Walk the mile
    2)Drink lots and lots of Water
    3)Stay away from sweets and carbs (which is my down fall I love the sweet and salty)

    My weight as of now 217 by x-mas I will be at 177 (I would like to see me in a size 12):happy:

    I am in! my weight on friday was 213.4 to be 173 aqt Christmas would be amazing! My sister, mother and son are all challenging each other to drop 30 in 90 so this would help me be the biggest loser at our Christmas gathering and give me bragging rights!

    I will get on the exercise bike 5 days a week for an hour and do strength moves with weights while on the bike! Yoga 30 minutes a day every day and restarting the 30 day shred program! Starting right now!
