    Count me in! Like a few others have said, I could have written the same initial post! I'm wanting to lose about 15 lbs as well, but focusing more on lowering my body fat %, which is high.

    I'm also trying to better understand thyroid functions, insulin, glycemic index... and how they're affecting my journey. Lately I've been feeling like my body is working against me, and despite my best efforts of eating better, reducing sugar, and working out, results are minimal.

    I finished a round of P90X/Insanity before the new year, and started P90X2 on Monday... loving it! Feel free to add me... power in numbers! :happy:

    Everything you just said is told to me almost every day! People bigger than me get irritated when I say I'm trying to lose some weight. I may not be huge, but I have a right to want to look and feel my best too. I need to lose about 12-13 lbs. and tone up. I was thinking of posting something similar. We can do this!!

    I want to lose 20 pounds before I feel more confident with my body. I too have many people (not siblings tho) tell me I'm at a good weight and don't need to lose. I want to tone and have no more flab!

    Ditto!!
    I would love to join in with all of you.
    It is nice to have some be in the same boat and understand the goal.
    I am looking to tone everything from my nose to my toes.
    I am very new to this workout scene but I have to say I enjoy it very much
    And never would have thought I would actually look forward to working out.

    I find it very hard to ever take a rest day....most often I do Yoga or Pilates
    On those days.

    I feel that same why! Can't tell ya how many times I've hear, "You look great for having had kids!" That is just not cutting it for me...and I'm getting older, so the weight will just start to creep up if I don't do something about it now.

    I've been doing Boot Camp, Free weights, Zumba and running.

    Feel free to add me, I'm always looking to motivate and be motivated : )

    I'm on my last 20lbs to lose and I hear the 'oh you don't need to lose anymore' or 'you look fine as you are' comments all the time as so far I've lost 80lbs over the last 6 years.

    It's hard for people to grasp that if you are not happy with yourself you are not happy.... so I've stopped trying to convince them. I call it negative positivity because they are paying you a compliment but by the same token it doesn;t make you feel good as they don't get it and they don't know where your headspace is.

    BUT having said that it is annoyingly frustrating ;)

    I've started going to the gym in my lunchhour too, mainly for the mental aspect and for getting that extra burn.

    So I'm in :D Let's do it gang!

    I am absolutely with you - I’m hoping to loose about 10 more lbs and tone up. If I’m putting all this effort into loosing weight I want to look as nice as possible and that means no more wobbly thighs!

    Now, just to get over the gym fear and ask for help devising a plan! Any suggestions for a 30-60min gym plan for all round toning? Bear in mind that I haven’t been to the gym in ages and fear I may fall over and make a fool of myself the first few times.

    Yes, I too need to lose 15-20 pounds. I'm eating 1200 calories a day, exercising 50-60 minutes a day and not much is happening. Do you all eat back your exercising calories?

    I could have written your post myself! I'm in the same boat...would love to lose 15 and tone up. And I'm so sick of people saying that I look fine, I don't need to diet...etc. Like you said, I'm not happy this way and that's what matters! I'm over 135 pounds, which in my opinion is way too much on my 5'3 medium-sized frame. I don't want to look OKAY, I want to look GOOD. And in my opinion, unless I'm fully clothed, I don't even look okay!

    I'm in as well. I would love to lose another 20ish pounds and tone up. I hate when people tell me that I don't need to lose any weight. I'm 5'3'' and every extra pound shows! I want to be happy with my body, and currently, I am not.

    I would like to lose another ~13lbs and lose more belly flab and upper thigh flab. I'm at 138 right now (5'4"). I'm 34 and I have three kids.

    I run and I'm hoping to run a half marathon this summer before my 35th birthday. I also do a bunch of JM dvds.
