    I would like to join please. My bday is in May and I would like to be around 145-140 by the 15th of May my 31st bday. My biggest problem is motivation. My starting weight is 160 (Ihave been stuck at this weight for months) I can not get the scale to go down> Anyone have any suggestions on how to break a plateau?

    Today's workout is complete. I completed Jillian Michael's fat burning-boost metabolism dvd (5 minute warm up, 40 minute circuit training, 5 cool down). I'm soo glad the burn 500 calories a day challenge is over. While I still plan to continue my weight loss journey I'm trying not to obsess about it and realize it will come off in time with consistent behavior (eating healthy and exercising). As long as I do some form of exercise at least 5 days a week and eat healthy i'm sure I'll see some progress.

    Have a great day!

    SMADAG1 - You might have to change up your routine in some form. I'm not sure what your current workout/eating regime is but alot of people on here suggest switching things up, eating your exercise calories (if not currently doing so). I would take a good look at your current routine and see where you might be able to switch things up......Good Luck.

    Well, aside from a bum knee this week, I have kept on track so far. Tomorrow, I'm afraid, will not be so great in the eating category, though. I will get up and work out extra hard before spending the day with the fam, but all that food......:love: . I keep telling myself "portion control," so we'll see. Maybe the fact that I have to weigh in on Friday will motivate me. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! :smile:

    I plan on getting a lot of running in since my hubby has to work all weekend. I can not run after work because it is too dark so I am going to take advantage of my off days

    Well, the exercise goal is an epic fail so far. Ugggg.:ohwell: : Plan was to get the exercise done while the munchkins were napping. But Mrs. Claus had to make a mad dash to find Little Mermaid jammies and panties in the right size. I bought them awhile back, but after her annual checkup, there is NO WAY my "little" girl will fit into them.:sad: And of course the first two stores I went to didn't have the size I needed.:grumble: Store number 3 had them, though!:bigsmile: Unfortunately, the extra drive time took up the alotted exercise time. But I just got both munchkins to sleep, so I'm off to workout now.:bigsmile: (Yes I got on here, first. My 2yo has had trouble getting to sleep, so I wanted to make sure he was well and truly asleep.)

    Remember, MODERATION will be the key this week! Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays!

    I have been going hard the past 7 weeks b/c I was participating in boot camp 3 days a week and completing the boot camp homework assignments 3 days a week. I basically burned at least 500 calories 6 days a week for 6 weeks and while i saw some results I feel like I'm now at a stand still so I've decided to chill out a little bit this week and probably next week. I worked out Monday and Tuesday but decided to chill out today. I'll see how I feel about working out tomorrow when I wake up. I will continue to stay within my allotted calories on most of the days but may be a bit lenient on Christmas. I need to do something to jump start this weight loss process.

    All in all it was a good day.

    What is bootcamp? I heard a lot of people talk about it but have never know what it is.

    I have to admit I have not been very good. I will repent at some point over the next few days...:blushing:

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    I didn't see this thread til today, but it is perfect motivation! I've been feeling all sorts of lazy and keep thinking I'll wait until Jan 1st to kick back into it, but joining this group and knowing I have a weigh-in on the 1st will get my butt in gear this next week! This is my first time doing any sort of motivational/support group thing on MFP, so here goes :)

    I adjusted my start weight because I had used my previous Monday weight which seems to be better than Fridays for some reason lately. I have not been good this week, obviously. I am hitting the store today and planning my meals ahead of time. I am going to be much better this week!!
