milomickey

This sounds like just the motivation I need to lose about 20 pounds by summer. Add me please & thanks for your offer of help!

Add me! I'm almost done with the Zombie Outbreak 8-week challenge on here, and will need new sources of motivation and inspiration. I would love to be down at least 15 pounds in 12 weeks-- currently at 241, so I'd like to hit 225 by the end of June. My overall goal for 2013 is Onderland, no later than New Year's Eve, and for 2014 my goal is to drop another 35-40 pounds to get to my goal weight of 160-5... slow and steady wins the race!!

This is great Mike. I joined the group. I'm 5'3 and 160. Wanting to lose 20 1bs by the end of this year, but the sooner the better really. Just not a big believer in losing weight too fast. I look forward to my progress over the next 12 weeks.

Okay, I'm in....I was at my goal weight and started training for a half marathon. I think I've let the glucose loading get the best of me, b/c I've put on 5-6 pounds (though my clothes are not tight...:huh: ). HOWEVER, I do notice that while I've lost fat and inches off my hips/thighs....I've gained some on my abs....NOT HAPPY about this.

Everything you outlined is things I've always done....however I have strayed from the no JF (yes, I am someone who can have NO JF because it spins out of control - so I need to quit cold turkey now).

I will have to weigh and measure on Friday to post b/c I've already had coffee and food....getting ready to go run 11 miles (I am still training for a half marathon). Oh what the heck

Stats:

5'2"
126 (was 119) - this is an unusually high reading b/c one I just had a cup of coffee and two we went out to dinner last night with friends for a birthday and restaurant food is always WAY higher in sodium then anything I make (we do not go out often).
15-20% body fat
belly button - 28 1/4"
hip at widest - 35 1/4"

BTW - I'm trying to stay away from dairy and gluten (both are PMS contributors which trigger migraines for me); however, gluten free with fiber I have a hard time finding and when I previously lost 35 lbs low fat dairy was a big part of my diet....any suggestions and replacing and what do I replace it with?

For instance:

breakfast is 2 whole grain waffles (oops there's gluten)
1/4 cup of 2% cottage cheese
2 TBSP Blueberries
1 TBSP sliced almonds

or 1/2 medium apple, 1/2 medium pear poached with cinnamon
3/4 cup 2% cottage cheese
1 TBSP walnuts

Snack is 1/2 medium apple, stalk of celery & 1 oz low fat cheese

or 1/3 cup of melon with 1/4 cup of 2% cottage cheese with 1 TBSP sliced almonds

I do want to keep my diet balanced and I am heavy on my veg, but sometimes it leaves me feeling unsatisfied.

This sounds like a great idea!

Can I ask why we should not eat any carbs 3 hours before bedtime?

I sometimes eat some pb on a slice of whole wheat bread at night because I always get hungry around 9-10pm.

Thanks!

Hi i'm Robert from Germany, and i like your challange.

i'm 31 years old man with about 165kg (365lbs). After i stopped smoking @ April 2012 i gained about 25 kg (55lbs) of weight.
My little son is growing up now (2 years old) and i want to have fun with him running around etc,...

So for me, it is time to change, and i hope this challange can be an additional motivator for me.

Sounds great! Please add me to the group:) Really want to drop fat and increase my fitness in time for summer!

I am in!

Count me in!

bambi2578

Count me in too! I have 20 to lose by June 8th. But even if I don't lose the weight, as long as I am building muscles and losing inches - I'm happy.

Im definately in for some help! I'm 5' tall and am having more problems dropping weight than I have ever had. I am currently 134lbs and want to drop at least 10-15lbs before lake season. I used to run and workout alot, but I stopped. Summer is looming and we practically live on a pontoon in bikini's all summer long. That thought is terrifying me this year! I'm 42 years old and what muscle I ever had at one time has gone and been replaced with yucky nasty fat! I've been counting my calories for several weeks now, but only dropped 4lbs. This past week I started integrating some exercising but I've not lost another pound for 2 weeks!
I definately need some help and advice because I am obviously doing something very wrong!

I'm 5'2, 150, goal is 125. Looking forward to doing this challenge with everyone
