Starting today, I'm intent on losing 10lbs - no dossing, no messing about - it needs to get gone!

Would be great if anyone else in the same boat could do it with me?? So we could help and support eachother.. maybe aim for having it gone by the end of April??

Anyone?... :flowerforyou:

    Fantastic!! Great to have people to chat to along the way! I'm also 5'7 and from Ireland..

    Bye bye 10lbs.. it's time to go! :devil:

    So day 1 didn't go too bad for me, went slightly above my calorie goal but still in a deficit and did some exercise too - tomorrow will be better again.. need to cut down on the coffee and up the water and God awful green tea...

    I'm finding it so hard to lose. Just got a personal trainer to set me programme for exercising at home. He's coming today.

    Loads of us in the same boat!! Great, welcome aboard!

    Sadyel- I'm planning on having mine gone by the end of April, which is not a long time I know, but I'm really going to push the exercise, eat as clean as I can and drink the water.. but I know it's personal and everyone is so different, I'm sure you know what would suit you best? We can have different end times once we all have something to aim for?

    My water 'goal' is to have 2 litres a day (not including other drinks / tea / coffee etc.. ).. So far today I've drank a quarter of that and am sick of it already :huh:

    Good luck with the personal trainer Jaz!!

    Well I am not sure if I will loose 10 pounds by the end of April but that is about how much I have left. I need to lose the fat in my tummy to see the muscle I have been working on building. I need a little motivation so I would love to join you guys. I can't say that I will lose 10 pounds of weight but I want to loose 10 pounds of body fat. I will be pushing the weight training hard though so I might not loose the full 10 pounds.

    I'm in!! I'm not positive I can lose 10 by the end of April, but I have been procrastinating starting an intensive weightlighting program and I know that will help me lose what I have let to lose. And it will be great having that extra bit of support from a group!
    Let's DO this! Add me :)

    I'm in. Same dang pounds from 1 1/2 years ago that I couldn't shake after my second child. My tools: Running- maybe sign up for a 5-k or two, logging food, no alcohol through the week (that glass of wine at dinner kills my calorie intake!). I've been toying with getting back into weightlifting. Any recommendations for at home gals?

    Me too. I have registered for a half marathon in June and getting rid of the last 10 lbs would make the training that much easier. Plus it will give me the motivation to stick with the training in the first place!

    I would love to join. I have been gaining and losing the same 5 lbs or so for the last month. As of Friday I was 168. I was told to take last week off from running because of knee pain and my week spun out of control. I am 5'11 with a goal weight of 149.

    I am in too! I just joined the group. I am 5'2" and about 134 pounds. I have been pushing hard since early March and not really seeing results. Have toned up a bit, but want to be back into the 120's by the end of April for sure. It will be good to have some extra motivation from ladies in a similar boat. After 3 weeks of pushing it is hard to stay motivated alone!

    Count me in. I am training for a 10km on May 12th, so dropping 10 pounds will make crossing that finish line much easier!

    I'm in! I'm 5'2'' and weight 127. I would like to get below 120 by the end of April! Let's get this done ladies!!! :heart:

    Hello ladies how are you doing with you new commitment? I weighed in at 127 two days ago but keep forgetting to weigh in the am before I have my coffee and breakfast. I am 5'1" and I have about 10 more pounds of fat maybe a little more to loose. I have some great muscles in my upper body for a woman and I don't want to loose them to see a number I like on the scale.

    I do however have a bunch of fat in my tummy and need to get rid of it! 120 or less is my goal weight but what I really want is to look great in a two piece bathing suit. From my experience with clothing I have realized that I will never again weight the 97 pounds I weighed in high school because I didn't do any weight training and was just skinny not toned.

    So over the last two years I have lost 45 pounds and managed to fit into some of my clothes from the days I saw a trainer about eight years ago. At my thinnest with a pretty flat tummy I weight about 115 but kept struggling to keep it there but I still looked great at 120 so I am not going to fuss about that. It will be my go to number and if I get under it great but once I get there I am determined to never go over it again unless I decide to start body building which I don't see happening.

    Anyhow enough about me I would love to hear more about the other ladies here!

    I have been doing well most days with my food intake so much so my hubby thinks I am crazy separating all the food even when I cook the same thing for both of us. It is just easier to cook my own portion separate right now so I can control how much sauce or oil or whatever instead of guessing.

    I work out at least 3 days a week at my pole dance fitness class and I am trying to up the activity in my life. So as it gets warmer I am going to take the dog for short walks and since I do love catching up on my favorite programs I will include them in an evening routine. I am not sure exactly what I will do but the goal is not to sit down while watching my evening television. That gives me an extra 40 minutes of activity at least 5 days a week.

    So here is to hoping that by the end of April even if I don't loose the 10 pounds in over all body weight that I loose it in body fat. I also got one of those BodyMedia devices so I could figure out how many calories I burn and I love it so far but I have had it less than 24 hours. I have never been sure how many calories I burn everything is always an estimate. I am dying to get a weeks worth of results. It also already has me feeling more accountable to myself to get up and get moving.
