    I fell off the wagon over the holidays and managed to gain back the weight I lost and then a lovely 4 extra pounds so I am up for this challenge.

    Starting Weight 167
    Feb 2010 157
    March 2010 147 - Heading off for a delayed honeymoon and want to feel good in my bathing suit
    April 2010 137
    May 2010 127* Goal weight

    I need all the help I can get to stay motivated. Today I've started doing a boot camp training 3 days a week along with starting South Beach. If I can keep my hands away from the snacks and not go for drinks with friends I should be able to make it.

    Good Morning all!

    I was in the original 10 pound challenge started dec. 2009. I am in this journey until i lose all the unwanted weight. Best success to everyone - WE CAN DO THIS!!!

    current weight: 209
    goal weight: 150

    10 pounds sounds reasonable - that would put me under 200 pounds if i stick to my guns

    LETS DO THIS!

    Last night I started the Biggest Loser challenge at the local nutrition club and there is a guy in the group who is seriously competitive. Therefore, my goal is to not let on how competitive I am and then kick his butt in at least one of the categories. Even if I don't beat everyone, I'd be happy just beating him because he's pretty positive he can win both pots. I need all of you to keep me accountable!!

    Yesterday I stayed within my calories but didn't exercise. I've logged all of the food I plan on eating for the day and will exercise tonight to stay within my calories. I think it's easier knowing just how long I NEED to exercise for to keep me motivated through it. I'm thinking I'll move on to my next Couch to 5K workout (Week 6).

    Hope you're all having a fantastic start to the New Year!

    I'm in. I am considering myself new to MFP as I have been gone so long. I gained about 20# the last 6 months, so my goal is to lose that PLUS another 100. It seems way too difficult to say I need to lose 120#, so I like the 10# @ a time. CW 269.2 & I feel horrible. As all of you know, it means clothes don't fit, waistbands so tight I can't bend over to tie shoes when they are snapped. Starting today, this changes. I have had breakfast & am full (eggs & toast w/pb). Sue

    Hello Old and New Friends!!!

    This Challenge should be great! Everyone seems to be so PUMPED and ready to lose this weight!! Did anyone see Biggest Loser last night? I swear that is my motivation because we are all capable of getting out of control! When I started losing weight I was 239.5 and that is not far from 300 and I have lost 32 lbs but that is not far enough away from 300 for my liking! I have decided today that I am not going to make not one excuse. December was the month of excuses for me because I had some bad emotional experiences...but the excuses stop here!!! I cannot let myself down and go back to a place where I was miserable! I love that I have this site as I have come to depend on it. I have no CRAP in the house but I need to get to the store and restock the veggies! I love cooking but I have to begin cooking preparing for the week on sunday and taking away all the prep work because the prep work is sometimes what makes me want to "grab something". I have noticed that I cannot really eat anything out because the food is FILLED with crap-ola that I don't want to eat unless absolutely needed. I guess my point is I can make this easier for myself by prepping on Sundays. I have to get to the gym but the cold weather was an excuse last month...I will fit the gym in today...NO EXCUSES!

    Talk to all of you later, I will bring good news about my gym experience!

    A friend of mine called last night and asked if I wanted to go to Zumba, after a lengthy conversation about working out with skinny girls (my friend weighs 142 and thinks she "fluffy" - I want to kick her booty). She said that she was going to sign me up anyways, what a friend, lol.

    Anyone have a clue what this going to be like??

    Angela: I've heard it's a blast. It's a cardio workout based on latin dance moves, but from everything I've read the whole point is to just keep moving even if you lose track of the steps. I've been dying to try it myself and am waiting to get the new Community Ed schedule to see if they will be running the class again. If not, I'll be going back to cardio kickboxing.

    Welcome to the newbies to the group and it's good to see those from the previous group here again. This will be awesome!

    Last night I stayed within my calories and stuck to what I logged for my meals yesterday afternoon. I did 42 minutes of exercise (Couch to 5K, W6D1) and burned 455 calories, which I didn't eat. I drank 68 oz. of water and basically kicked butt with tons of energy! I was done working out and dinner was eaten by the time I sat down to watch Biggest Loser, so I didn't even have to feel guilty about watching others workout while I sat in my living room, relaxing!

    For tonight, I already know what I'm having for dinner and will be logging it in a few minutes so I can stick to it again. I've already decided which workout video to do tonight so I have no excuses not to be good today! I've made my food diary public for viewing, so that gives me one more reason to behave because ANYONE can see my choices. (Hopefully they won't scroll back to 2009 entries).

    The scale is still staying where it's been for the past week, but at least I've lost the Christmas weight I gained and I've lost a lot of inches. Even I am starting to see the difference in my appearance! I'm oh-so-close to those size 12 jeans...

    Have a great day!
