    Im in!
    Current weight 167
    Goal Weight 120

    That's 47 pounds in 15 weeks averaging 3 pounds per week. Which would put me back to where i was before we leveled out my thyroid.

    My struggle would be to wake up early enough to exercise. I have started the insanity workout but defiantly struggling with that. I have a bar that goes across the door therefore i will strive to accomplish 10 pulls ups by the end of this week and keep adding 10 more along with 20 sit ups and add 20 more each week. along with going for an afternoon walk and start the couch to 5k...(i really dont see my finishing the insanity workout...but i may). My father was in the marine core so this routine is actually what i did in the Th grade. I use to be able to do 250 sit ups and 120 pull ups (my way to deal with the bullying at the time). this is my goal by December.

    Count me in also. Love the idea.
    Current weight-183
    Goal weight-168=1pd per week
    I will continue to use MFP to log calories in and calories out. My favorite tool is my Fitbit.. I will do cardio 4-5 times per week and 2 days of weight training. Planning on ordering TurboJam next week to mix things up. Good luck to all.

    I sort of a week late for this challenge but I'd like to join if possible. I had actually posted on my newsfeed that it would be awesome to lose 14 lbs in the 14 weeks left to Xmas. This challenge is right up my alley. I've chosen a modest goal of 1 lb a week.

    Current: 162.8 lbs
    Goal in 15 weeks 147.5 lbs
    Average 1 lb a week

    This past week I started doing exercise! It's been a LONG time. I began with slim in 6. The first 3 days were challenging. It hurt. After that it got a little bit easier. So far I've done 5 workout days this week.

    My challenge this week has been to attempt getting up early. It is just NOT happening if I go to bed late the night before. My weigh in day is Monday. I'm confident I've lost weight this week.

    I almost forgot. In regards to food I count "points" (50 calories per point) and my daily goal is 23 with an additional 35 to use or lose throughout the week. Yup, like the old weight watchers plan.

    I think it's definitely doable! That's only a pound per week. And it would bring me into a size 4. yay ^^ I plan to eat 1200 net calories per day and do daily cardio exercises like jogging and 30ds. I'm doing this already, but having a concrete goal and plan might be give me the determination I need to succeed. And I *really* need to cut out the junk food completely, even if it fits into my calorie allowances.

    I do cardio 6 days week either Gym (ARC cross between an elliptical and stepper), Mountain Biking on nice days or an hour of Zumba mixed in with 4 days of strength training and BOSU ball workouts. Also at least 20 minutes with my weighted hula hoop.

    I'm in
    Starting weight - 172
    Goal weigh - 150

    eat only 1200 calories a day, but start making them more healthy calories and only have one cheat day a week instead of eating tons of unhealthy foods just to reach my 1200 calorie goal. also drink 8 cups of water a day and continue exercising daily, even if only for a half an hour. strength training at the gym at least twice a week, and running (couch to 5k program) 3 times a week. that's the plan. let's see if we can do this!
