Trying for 10 lbs in 5 weeks! Anyone else?

yonisaw

Hello all! In the past couple end-of-winter months I've packed on at least 15 pounds. (Now 5' 2", 131). I have knocked off 10 lbs in a short time before, and have kept it off for a decent amount of time. I usually do gain a few pounds every winter, but it REALLY got to me this year! I've never been so inactive in my life!

I have recently booked a trip to Ireland (leave in a little over 5 weeks!) to visit my sister and I really want to look good and feel healthy when it comes to being a tourist and walking a lot. Also, this is a trip I will remember forever, so I want to look good in these pictures too!!

This is kind of my jump-start to a healthy summer (and life!) as well.

I've used this program before, but have never reached out to the FitnessPal community. I would love some positive and even competitive support to help me along.

So...who else wants to get at least 10 lbs off?!
(And then some...I wanna see my abs before July!)

I would love to get 10 pounds off in 5 weeks, but unfortunately I have hit a rut where I loose around 1 to 1.5 pounds a week which is better than nothing. Good luck and feel free to add me!

Im going to Vegas at the end of May so my goal is to lose 10 to 15 pounds by then. However having been on here since Jan 2, 2013 working my buns off, I know that after the initial newbie drop, losing 2 pounds a week is a difficult task. Possible but difficult. Especially the less you have to lose. In the last 4 weeks I lost between 6 and 7 pounds so I think for me 1.5 pounds a week is more realistic. You can add me though. I actually have 24 more pounds to my first goal and then possible another 25 depending on what its like a first goal.

CW:179.4 pounds.
SW:208 pounds
1st Goal: 155 pounds
2nd Goal: 130 pounds

I'm 5'7".

I don't have that to lose, but my goal is to work out 5 days a week following Combat. You can add me if you'd like.

What is your exercise plan???

Sounds like a GREAT trip!

I'm varying between p90x workouts and running. My favorite p90x workouts are also (luckily) the ones that burn the most calories, so I figured I'll just focus on those 3/4 workouts. My plan is to start the actual 90 day program when I return. My goal is at least 5 days a week as well!

I'm super excited for this trip too! (And also afraid of how much yummy pub food I'm going to eat. And the beer...oh boy.) Haha.
