in Motivation and Support
I'm setting a mini-goal to hit by May 1st, to help keep me on track for my "ultimate goal". I'd like to be in the 160s by then. I already know a few of you are in for this but I wanted to open it up to anyone else who may need a little motivation to get them thru the next month and a half or so.

So, who's in????????

    I'm in. I hit my original goal of 145, but I realized I still have a little more fine-tuning to go. Maybe 5 more pounds, maybe 10. So I'm shooting for hitting 140 by May 1 (and if I get closer to 135, I won't complain). Thanks!

    So where are you starting at? I'm at 176, since I want to be in the 160s I'll "technically" be there in 6 lbs. So I'm really shooting for mid 160s but anywhere in that range I'll accept! :bigsmile:

    135 by 5/1 (which just sounds totally crazy since I haven't been in the 130's since I was in my early teens! Starting at 140.4 Ultimate goal is 130 and then I'll reevaluate :wink:

    155 by May 1st! :smile:

    I guess I should put my stats:

    Current Weight: 161
    Goal by May 1: 155
    Total Pounds to Lose: 6
    Weeks until May 1: 8

    I could probably go lower in the goal, but since I have been in a recent plateau, I want to push back into losing easy. :tongue:

    I'm in.... I'd like to be 165 by Mat 1st. That's 2 pounds a week. I've been on a plateau for the past month.
    Any advice to speed this up. Maybe we can talk about our best weight loss trick. Mine is start with a healthy breakfeast.

    I recently got an "on line" trainer - she used to date my brother and is an actual personal trainer and we've been e-mailing back and forth and I've been getting great info from her. She said I need more protein in my breakfast (I normally eat oatmeal or Special K), so today I had eggs. She also suggested whey protein powder mixed with yogurt and berries. She also said to not go more than 4-5 hours without eating because your body needs something to burn. Even if its a piece of fruit or something it's best to eat something to prevent your body from going into starvation mode. Even though I normally eat every 4 hours or so I'm going to make sure I don't skip out (no matter how busy I am). My body is FAR from starving so I don't want to put it in a state where it thinks it is! :laugh:

    I would like in too! I'd like to be at 245 by May 1st. I've been stuck for 2 months though so I'm going to have to figure out how to break this plateau.

    What day are we weighing in?
