    I'd love to lose another 40lbs by Christmas! I figure I've taken off a little over 20 in 3 months. If I stick to that progress, that means 40 is totally doable 6 months from now!

    My plan to continue my weight loss:
    --Reduce my soda intake even more than it currently is (hopefully down to only one can a week and eventually no cans a week)
    --Incorporate more veggies into my daily meals instead of a few times a week
    --Make my meals come from home prep instead of fast food and restaurants

    --Keep up my 5K training schedule and run 4-5x a week
    --Attend 3-5 Group X classes at the gym a week (currently doing 2-3 a week)
    --Start measuring my body and taking progress pics.
    --Buy a HRM

    I'm working on the principle that no food is off limits
    - the only limits are on the quantities not the food itself!

    Same here! That's my mentality exactly :) If I want something, why not have a little bit of it? This way I'm never dieting, never missing out, just being smart about it! Hahaha McDonalds? I pick a small meal, have it with water and without the sauce, but I'm still getting what I want!

    Hopefully this strategy will work and pay off by Christmas! Hahaa

    When I find myself at a fast food place, I opt for the kid's meal and the minute maid light lemonade as the drink. Satisfies my cravings and the portions are much more reasonable :bigsmile:

    Feel free to add me in. I want to drop 40lbs or more (probably not possible) by Dec 7 when me and my boyfriend and our now 11 week old daughter go to visit my family in New York for a late Thanksgiving/early Christmas.

    I only eat whole foods, hardly anything processed. Nothing from a grocery store that has more then 5 ingredients in it. I don't eat white sugar or white flour. I use honey/maple syrup and I like it better. And white whole wheat flour, though I'm trying to use other types of flours when I can but they are majorly expensive and I'm still on disability from having my daughter (I'm still not healed from my emergency c-section.) But anyways anyone is welcome to add me..

    And Yesterday's hardship was that I didn't get my walk in due to having to go unexpectedly to my primary doctors then my obgyn. And I get to go back to her today again. What a vicious cycle with all these doctors to find out why my c-section wont heal.

    Add me in! :drinker: 40lbs before Xmas would be a treat! :glasses:

    I struggle most with portion size and the need to finish my plate (and so far smaller plates have not found the way into my house - have to change that!!) :embarassed:

    I also want to start the C25K soonish, but have busy weekends planned until the end of July.. :sad:

    Yes that would be awesome! Maybe I'll splurge on a nice fitted dress or some bikinis and slip them under the tree from "Santa"...

    I have a personal goal to accomplish and its 52 by 52.
    I want to lose 52 lbs by my 52nd birthday.
    I just joined in May so this challenge will go hand in had with my personal goal.
    Am I crazy for thinking I can do this by Oct 6th? Any thoughts out there.
    I have lost 11 so far.


    Hard to say. After the first 6 weeks my loss slowed to 5-7 pounds a month.....

    Add me too! 40 would put me at my goal weight and I just signed up for enough boot camps to keep me moving through the rest of the year.
