    I'm in! 24 here and my goal is 63 lbs to lose. This puts me from 193 to 130! I'm also 5'10, so I might be going a little hard on myself. Ah well. We should get something going, like a weekly weigh in or something? Maybe weekly-weigh in -wednesdays? WWW...haha just an idea.

    Ah Welcome Ladies! We have weekly weigh ins on Fridays. So today! Feel free to post it anytime. Our Challenge for the week is to chew each mouthful 30 times, I am failing miserably at this. I can't remember. So Hopefully at dinner! Good luck ladies!

    Awesome! I'll definitely have to try harder at chewing 30 times! I think I'll have the same problem... actually remembering to do that! :smile: But, I'll work hard at that! My current weight is 125 lbs. and I'm trying hard to get down to 110 lbs. by mid-January. I almost feel like I won't be able to make it! I'm trying to lose that last few pounds so I can look good for my brother's wedding that is coming up in March. The reason why I have to lose the weight by mid-January is because I'm a bridesmaid and our dresses have to be altered by then. Yikes!! Think I can do it ladies? That's about 5-6 weeks!! :frown: If I can get around 110 -- such as 112 or 113, that will be fine because not much altering will need to be done for 2-3 pounds. Man... I need all the encouragement and help I can get between now and then!!

    Not sure what your workouts are, but try 30 day shred. I'm sure that'll help you acheive your goal weight by Jan.

    Weighed in this morning at 195.5 (guessing .5 since the scale kept flipping between 195 and 196). Not sure if I can chew my food 30 times, but I'll sure try! I have the bad habit of inhaling my food and stopping after I'm stuffed... which I know helped get me to my highest weight of 219 >.<

    Hey Ladies,
    How did your days go?
    Mine started out good as i did our challenge for breakfast then forgot about it every other meal. I totally over did it at lunch today as well. Dang sorority houses and all the greasy food! the Hamburger was just too good looking to turn down. I went over, but i've exercised more today than i have in sooo long it felt great!

    I hope you all did better than me!

    I am 22 and would love to join. My weight yesterday was 136.2. My next mini goal is 135 but my overall goal is 120. I am getting married in May 2010 and would really love not to put on a size 16 dress that day.

    Count me in!!

    Congrats jacqueline on the wedding.

    My first goal is to get down to 150 and see from there what makes the most for my 5'3" frame. My most fit during college was around 145-150 palying two sports.

    Making a lean grilled steak salad for dinner, cant wait!

    Welcome ladies,

    Didn't get to post yesterday. I weighed in at 140!! But I ate alot today hehe. I chewed 30 times though! Its so hard to thing about because I usually eat really fast.

    I saw someone on the blogg is doing PX90...I've heard about that but have no idea what it is. Details please :)

    Great Job Meg! I still haven't gotten the chewing thing down. I'm usually watching tv when i eat and it distracts me. lol I have no idea what that work out plan is about but i am also curious. I got the Core Rhythms work out dvds oh like a year ago. and I haven't kept up with them but i did the full workout today and my abs kill! But i ate mac and cheese which negated all of those calories burned :( haha. But i still came out even so its all good.

    The P90X workout is seven different workouts each 60minutes long focusing on different parts of your body. I did the core one with my boyfriend and we were both dying by far the hardest workout i've ever done we did 45min of it bc our son woke up before we could finish and when we got him back to sleep we couldn't even stand up to finish and im athletic and he is really athletic so it deffintly kicks your butt. I highly recomend it, i havn't done the other ones yet but tomorrow night im ganna do the legs and back and i'll let you know how that one is.
