Hello out there! I am looking to lose another 15-20 pounds by September 19th. I am going on a vacation with my husband to California, our first together since our Honeymoon 2 years ago. About 3 months ago, I was down 40 pounds, I maintained for a while fluctuating gaining a pound or two, then losing a pound or two and repeating the cycle. In the past month or so, I have gained about 5 pounds back and I want to get into the 180's by my trip. I am looking for new friends who are wanting to lose about the same in the next 2 months who are willing and ready to motivate others while in turn allowing me to motivate them.

My plan is as follows:
1-2 hours of cardio at the gym or in combination with a run around the neighborhood (C25K) and 30 mins of weights at the gym or a session of 30 Day Shred

I play softball for my city's rec league (which ends in the middle of August), but I plan to run around the neighborhood (C25K) either before or after the game.

Minimal to no carbs after 5 p.m. with meat and veggies or a protien bar/shake for dinner and eating responsibly throughout the day.

Please respond to this thread or message/friend request me if you would like to join this motivation train.:happy:

    I've lost 15lbs and I am looking to lose another 15 maybe even 20 by almost that exact date (around when school starts). Your plan sounds awesome, I might even borrow it lol.
