    The day i reach my goal i know i will feel confident going shopping and feel confident in my self, but most of all im hoping i will be close to my goal by May 2012 for when i go to Florida. I'd love to be able to wear a sexy bikini and get a tan on my stomach, can't remember the last time i actually had a tan on my tummy.

    This week i'm giving up chips/fries :(

    I'm really going to give it my all this week. I'd love to lose 3lbs this week (i know thats a big goal but....) to reach my first 20lb loss!!!!

    Good luck everyone x x

    When I reach my goal, I will probably collapse with happiness :) I'll show all the people who doubted me and told me I'd "look nice if I just lost a little weight", and I'll be able to be confident in myself. I'm hoping by that by the time Xmas comes, I'll be in the 130s, and the everyone's jaws will drops :laugh:
    I have to get back in the game because I was sick over the weekend - giving up my beloved Honey Bunches of Oats, and gonna try to burn >1000 cals a day

    Hmmm - the day I hit my goal weight...I am not really sure what that goal weight is...I could live with staying under 150 but the problem is, I feel like I need to go 5 -10 pounds BELOW that, because I have a tendency to let the pounds creep back. I don't overeat THAT much, and I don't wat a lot of "bad" food, but I do have a tendency to over-indulge on special occasions, AND to turn any occasion into a special occasion - LOL. :drinker: So I don't think I have an inspiration to add about my goal weight, as if it were a magic number. I just want to MAINTAIN my weight (after I lose 5-10 more pounds, of course :laugh: ) without having to TRY SO HARD ALL THE TIME. :grumble: :explode:

    As far as giving up something this week, I'll pick ice cream. As those of you who look at my food diary know, that is an every day indulgence for me. Since I only have from today until Thursday to go, I should be able to mange it. :bigsmile:

    Hi everybody! Hope everyone is doing well.

    I finished the mini challenge, but can someone tell me how to log in the tricep dips? I don't see them in the database.
    Thanks!!:smile:

    I just shove it in the middle of some cardio and call it circuit training :P
    Feeling good coming out of the weekend. My goal for the next two days is to burn approx. 2500 total...which means interval training in the morning with boxing and bodyrock in the evening :) I'm hoping to reach my 10 lb loss this week!

    And I am weirdly obsessed with mustard....

    Ok I googled it... its a jumping jack but in a squated position. you keep your abs engadged and you keep your feet flat on the floor and don't roll your ankles.

    I did 500 low jacks yesterday and they killed me... that's why I put them up :)
    Low-carb for me too! I try to make salads inspired by my favorite foods...then they taste better than just ranch and lettuce.

    Hope everyone has a great Thursday!
