    This is just what I have been contemplating doing, so count me in. Right now I am suffering from allergies, so will not be able to work out until some time next wee. As the weather is changing , I will be walking early morning for 90 minutes, then doing 30 minutes of kettle bells every day to finish off. As I do not eat back my calorie, I am thinking of increasing them from 1500 to 1800 - 2000. I plan to test myself calories wise as I go along.

    I'm in for sure! I would love to lose around 30lbs by June/July! I need to kick it up a few notches to get there. Hoping to find lots of stuff to do with my kids after dinner to add to my morning exercise, maybe even adding more to my morning exercise too.

    I would love to lose my last 20 pounds by June/July :) That would be me at a total of 80 pounds loss. In a bit of a plateau right now and working on how many calories I should be eating and such...I tried the 1200 for a few weeks and I kept losing and gaining the same 5 freaking pounds. So I hope the Eat more to lose is what I need...so far seems to be great! Let's do this girls, let's do this for ourselves and our families and show them WE ROCK!!! Add me if you would like more motivation! I think motivation is the key to success in this journey!! Hugs SWEETS!

    Unfortunately losing weight the permanent and healthy way takes time. You can only expect to lose about 2 lbs per week. This leaves about 12 weeks to the beginning of July. Close to the 30 lbs mark but a bit shy.

    I wrote on my office calendar what my "anticipated' weight would be losing 2 lbs per week. About mid year I was not feeling like I had accomplished much and pulled out that calendar. I had not lost 2 lbs per week some weeks, but had lost more other weeks . . . much to my surprise I was the exact weight I had predicted I would be by that date. This was all done with just eating very clean and making sure I walked 30 minutes (or more) per day and did some weight lifting 3 times per week for about 20 minutes.

    Losing weight more rapidly usually results in it coming back so give yourselves the gift of patience and it will happen.
