Aim:5lb down for xmas

helenmelon29

Hi

I am 5lb from my goal weight. So want to try and get there for xmas and maintain for the new year (So I start the year not wanting to start a diet and fail- like I normally do).

I'm 30 years old and weigh 145 and 5'7 tall.

Anyone want to join on my count down to xmas?

I plan this week to burn 1500 in the week, stick to my calories and drink plenty of water. xxxx

I would like to join. I want to lose about 6lbs by xmas but would be happy if I just lost 3. I plan on going to the gym about 4 times this week so hopefully I will burn about the same.

I'm in the UK, tonight I will be going to Boxercise, and I have to cycle there and back. My abs still hurt from Thursdays class though!

I feel really bloated since the weekend, need to get a handle on that and the down the water to get my body back in check!

Hello, no this is not my pup, I wish he was, but I live in a London flat so no pets unfortunately!!! I stole this picture from someone on Facebook, I'm not even sure if it is a real dog!!!

I quite fancy boxerise, not sure if anywhere does it here. I tried Kettlebells last week and enjoyed that but its not on this week. x

Count me in, ideally I'd love to lose 10 lbs, but I think 5 lbs is much more realistic. 5'4", 136 lbs, going to gym ish three times a week with random weightlifting or running

tracey1986

I do the treadmill for 20 mins, cross trainer and rowing machine for 10 minutes each and then some weight machines. I'm there about an hour. I stopped going for a few months and then couldn't kick start myself into going again but my friend has just joined so that really motivates me to go.

I'm in! I want to be down to 125 by Christmas...I am at 132 right now. So this challenge will be a great way to get to my GW of 118-120.

Anyone who wants can add me. Today I did level one 30DS with 2.3kg weights (240 cals) and at lunchtime I did a Fightclub class at my gym (450 cals).

Wish I could fit it in my lunch hour - well done. I have done 30DS and enjoyed it. Prefer Boost Metab banish fat now though (green DVD box) x

Great.

Next Monday lets record how we have done. I usually stay the same for 2/3 weeks and then lose 2/3 pounds so will see how I get on.

The gym at lunch is a serious squeeze, I am v glad I don't have to punch in and out, if someone was clock watching I would be in trouble!!!

I plan to crack on and do more JM dvds after 30DS, I have the one about getting a 6 pack. I don't really want a 6 pack, I'm just so tired of the lard pack!!! xx

Ooops, I can't seem to do quoting!!! Silly me!!! xx

I'll give this a try. I'm not overweight, but want to lose 7-9 lbs. I'm not stepping on the scale in November, since I am (now) focusing on weight-training - having sacrificed some much-loved cardio to find the time to weight-train.

But, I think I could step on the scale by Xmas and see how it all turned out.

(I'm in week 2 of "body for life", which is a 12-week program...)

Also, I'm 5'9" and weigh 157 (I think....I did the last time I stepped on the scale, anyway).
