    My goal is 28 (Now 27 pounds away) so I think this will give me the extra kick I need to lose that remaining weight. :D I am in.

    Awesome!! It'll be nice to have the extra support.
    Is anyone here competitive?
    We could make it a weekly challenge to loose weight.
    Who ever looses the most (healthy and naturally) will be named the winner of the week?

    Hi Rachael (and everybody else).

    Thanks for starting the group, Rachael. I intend to lose 40lbs by September - my birthday - which breaks down to 8 lb a month/2 lb a week. Which is tough enough as that equates to a 1000 calorie deficit, every single day. Half of which will be a bottle of wine so that is theoretically do-able! The other half is exercise, equating to 45 mins on the rowing machine every single morning for the next five months. Yipes.
    So, how are we all planning to lose 10 lbs a month for the next three months? Any super hints for shifting that extra, elusive half-pound a week?

    Welcome 140bysept (sorry didn't have a name to go by)
    I'm excited you joined us in this challenge. 40 pounds by September is a fantastic goal
    And I LOVE the rower.
    With my personal experience I hated working out. And most people do in the beginning. Any time you partake in physical activity your brain releases endorphins within the next half hour that make you feel happy/good. After every workout I focus on these endorphins (even after a walk) and it becomes a healthy addiction.

    How I plan on working to the 30 pound goal is keep eating healthy, I eat paleo.
    I'm just starting to count calories to make sure I hit where I need to :)
    And working out more.
    Also I'm planning on starting to run. Slowly three times a week. I hate running so ill be doing this in intervals for 1K until I can run it straight.
    Don't forget your h2o I drink 4 L a day or more.
    What about ya'll

    My name is Kelly my birthday is July 5 and we are leaving for the beach July 3rd so I would love to try and do this challenge as well

    My recorded weigh day is Saturdays but I weigh every morning just to see how my food and water affects me.... So on Saturday I weigh 235 but today I weighed 237 ( I am assuming water or Easter weight ) so which number should I count.... I think a 30 lb weight loss would be a great birthday present because it would almost put me in onederland !!!
