    Also joining!

    Current weight: 62 or 61kg, I don't know for sure.
    Goal weight: 59 kg.

    Only 2 or 3 kilo's, not a really big goal but I know I would rather lose weight slow if it doesn't come back that way. I'm currently just trying to eat really healthy: lot's of vegetables, fruits and a minimum of sugar. Today is my second day and actually I'm not having that much trouble. Hope it stays this way. :) I will also exercise, mostly walking my dog but also bicycling and perhaps even jogging.

    Good luck everyone!

    I would love to join! My CW is 174 and my goal weight for 12/31 is 155, for a total of 19 lbs to lose.

    Weighed in today and I am still at 174. But...I had a lovely weekend drinking wine and eating cookies for my hubby's birthday. :tongue:

    I lost 3.2 lbs this week. Yay. It's been a frustrating week but am taking it as one foot in front of the other, hour by hour, etc.
    On to the next one... :)
    Best of luck to all.

    Great job! You should be VERY proud of your accomplishment!

    12/31 goal - 177

    I'm starting to get into an exercise routine and eating 5 small meals a day is doing wonders for my metabolism. 0.6 doesn't seem like a lot for a week's time but I have to remember that I always lose inches first before my weight starts to drop.

    *List your current weight and what you want to lose in 15 weeks, and how you'd expect to get there.
    *Weekly weight in on Mondays or Tuesdays.
    *Thoughts for the week on diet/exercise. Struggles and success.
    *What to change or improve for the next week to help you get throught the next 15 weeks. Set mini goals for the upcoming week.
    *Most importantly, support but complete honesty with yourself and others.

    SW: 177
    CW: 168
    GOAL: 140 (at least)

    More exercises and more healthy eating! control hunger with more raw foods! Drink at least 3 cups of green tea everyday!

    ALL FOR IT! I'm currently at 163.00 at 5 feet 2 inches. CHRISTMAS is an awesome deadline...I can't manage to focus with stress, work and home.
    Planning a wedding too! Much to stress about, and need the support.

    I have to lose 2 pounds a week to get to my goal weight at this point in the game. We are 13.5 weeks away!!! I expect to get there by eating healthy options and working out at least 45 minutes a day!!!

    My struggles are in having an almost 2 year old that I sometimes use as an excuse instead of a solution. He may be fussy and won't let me do a workout video...but he loves dancing and going on walks so I should switch things up and find different "less structured" ways to exercise so that I am still moving.

    I have a huge problem with afternoon cravings too and I almost always give into them. I need to figure out a way to stop doing that! HELP...lol

    Mini Goals for 9/26/12-10/1/12 (Less than a week but I want to start weigh-ins on Monday)

    * Go for a evening walk with the boys at least 2 times this week
    * Run a mile without stopping everyday (Wed-Sun)
    * Finish the rest of my cardio by combining walking/ jogging C25K program
    * Only drink wine every OTHER night....my weakness :(

    I just joined MFP and I totally need this challenge!

    Current weight: 158
    Goal weight: 143

    Eat clean -- one cheat meal a week. Keep sugar, snacks (chips, etc), processed foods to an absolute minimum. Keep bread/pasta to a minimum and use whole, healthier grains when I do eat it. Shoot for 1600 or less net calories/day.

    Do something active 5 days a week. Train for 10-mile run coming up in November.

    I think that'll cover it!

    I'm in!!

    CW: 130
    GW: 118
    12 pounds in 15 weeks

    I'm not really worried so much about the weight as I am the changes physically with my body, so my goal is more for an overall toned look, with my stomach completely gone (abs please!!). This is the weight that my old personal trainer told me would maintain that look so that's what I'm using.

    How I'm going to attain this goal:
    - working out 3 times a week (for now, hoping to up it to 6 in a few weeks)
    -drinking water!!!
    -eating healthy meals (I'm a university student, so for me this is hard to do in residence, but I have eggs every morning for breakfast, a salad or soup every day for lunch, and for dinner I go to the 'home-cooked zone' instead of getting things like pasta or pizza)
    -keeping snacking to a minimum, only snacking on healthy things like fruit and nuts

    I think this is a pretty realistic goal, so I'm PUMPED to get to it!!

    Losing weight isn't easy. Strength training helps build muscles which in turn burn fat. I am better at exercising also. Sorry I meant to post this to the post above.
