in Motivation and Support
Lets start a thread for those wanting to lose 30 no matter where you are it...if its the 2nd half of your weight loss journey or your first 30 lbs. I need to get to 150-155 from 183 lbs. I need motivation to stay the course.

I am on 1200 cal a day, Working out with a trainer 3x a week and hiking for an hour 4 days a week.

I hope to be down 5 lbs by end of the month.

    You are about right where I am and I would also LOVE to be down 30 lbs. I was only about 10 lbs from my first goal but have gained back up 20 lbs. I need the motivation and maybe keep accountable to someone else would help. Feel free to add my as a friend if you would like.

    Ok.. You're both on. Lets check in every day and maybe your food intake to hold each other accountable. I am so excited. I haven't even:happy: shared with anyone that i am dieting and have a work out trainer. Just want to surprise everyone.

    I'm in. I have about 80-85lbs to go to get to my main goal (I'm going to re-evaluate my goal in another 40 lbs, and see where I want to be.). I need to try and get back on track with my exercising. I have next to no energy because it's getting much colder out.
    I'll try checking in every day, having a toddler to chase after, it gets a little difficult.

    We can all do this, we have to set our minds to it, focus and support each other!

    Last winter I tried to diet, and it didn't work... My pal was too easy on me. ;-) I now put back all the weight on... plus a little.
    I am a student, atteind conferences, have a job, but I can't make excuses for myself all the time! Yes, I'm busy, but I NEED to find time to exercise. Please help me to hold on, I'll encourage you as well!

    I'm in too. I really would like to lose about 80 pounds. But I'd love to set 30 pounds as my medium/short-term goal. I really was thinking about trying to get 40 pounds down in 3 months. I'd really have to make some changes, but I am going to give it a shot. Been working out a lot, and am working on adding more cardio. We'll see what happens.

    Thanks for the challenge!

    I'm at 30 pounds left on the nose. Just remember 1200 calories is not enough food especially when/if you work out.

    I'd love to join. I have... a lot to go and I just got back on track (other than this past weekend was kind of a wreck). My boyfriend offered me a cruise to the Bahamas if I hit my goal weight, so I gotta get a move on it!

    Count me in. I need to take off the other 70 pounds that is holding me back. Starting with thirty pounds is a good goal to strive for. :smile:

    I'd like to join. Have about 60-65 lbs to lose but I'll give it my best shot to lost at least 30 for now. I'll need lots of support bc in the past I've gone down too much but now I've gained it all back plus more. My problem is a lot of times, when I'm not hungry when I know I should be eating, I don't like to eat and sometimes even though I am hungry, I try not to eat--makes sense?

    I am in too. I just joined last week and have 31 lbs to lose. I have gained and lost weight more times than I can count, but I am committed to losing the weight and maintaining a healthly lifestyle. I remind myself that I have kept 35 lbs off for a few years and I need to focus on the positive habits i have developed.

    Good luck to the 30 lb challenge team!! We can do this!!

    I'm in too! 30 lbs would put me a little over 190, and I'd love to be in onederland! I'm aiming for closer to 70. Do we have a time frame for this?

    I'm in as well! My goal was to be down 30 by Christmas...I realize this may be a bit lofty, but it's a great start! I have to get down 55, but 30 to start training for a half marathon in February. With a little encouragement i think i just may be able to pull it off! These groups are great! :wink:
