SW-223.2lbs
CW-220.4lbs down 2.8lbs
GW-185.5
I started the topic on the assumption that I was still 220lbs. I was wrong, I was actually 223.2lbs. I actually had a mini break down. In 2 years I gained back almost 45lbs. I was very disappointed in myself. A few years before that I was 242lbs at my heaviest and lost almost 90lbs in a very short time. Getting so close back to that horrible number just broke something inside me. New dawn, new day.

I have been there. Last year I tipped the scale around 280. I worked out, used this site, and shed 40lbs. Then life got me busy--well After my wedding in august i decided to start anew, I am still overweight and need to be healthy. So I weighed myself --yeah 266. not so happy, I felt like I let myself down.
But I feel good about trying again now. I also have to remember , although slow, progress it still that, progress.
Good luck, You can do it.0 -

Are you still open to new members? I need the accountability of a group working together to succeed and this looks like it might just be a great one.

GW: 192 (33 pound - just over 2 pound a week)
I have been messing about a bit lately in terms of healthy eating and exercise. I am going to be "on it like a bonnet" and get my head back into this lifestyle change (I've still been losing - but I think I've been pushing my luck in terms of what I've been eating). Anyways - past is past - time to re-commit to being healthy. I will work out 6 days a week. I am one day away from completing couch to 5K and I plan on getting faster and building up the incline on my treadmill. I am starting the 30 day shred tonight - bit nervous about this - I think Jillian is going to be mean to me.
* I will exercise 6 days a week
* Drink more water
* Log EVERYTHING I eat
* I will enjoy this and not feel sorry for myself (honestly, I do like working out and eating well so this one should be easy)
Let's do this thing!!!
..............
My usual weigh in day is a Thursday, but I think you said weigh in day for this group is Monday or Tuesday...so I weighed today and I have lost 1 pound since starting in this group. I'm not logging it on my "ticker" until Thursday (don't want to jinx it).
I've been keeping up with the logging calories and exercise - Jillian is kicking my *kitten*. Still need to drink more water though!!0 -
I love this goal! I will be seeing lots of my family over the holidays and I'd love to have reached my goal weight to make myself a little more merrier during that time of the year.
I currently weight 126 pounds and I'd like to weight 115 by Christmas.
I am a runner who lives in Montana, so my challenges will be being able to exercise during the winter. I am in the market for a treadmill, but they are so expensive!
Good luck everyone! you can do it 0 -

GW-185 (my New Years goal weight)
UGW-155
I saw this is week #2 so my starting weight is what I weighed last week. I weigh myself every Tuesday and this week I am down 4.8lbs!
I have been struggling for the last month and half going back and forth between 1-2lbs.
I am planning to eat more veggies and less processed foods. I am also switching to a protein smoothie for dinner instead of actually eating a full meal. Normally I work out for 1-2 1/2 hours every night and dont get home til close to 8pm so I dont want to go to bed with a heavy meal in my stomach. I am also going to drink more water!
I am excited to have found this group because I made a goal for myself to lose 30lbs between the beginning of September to my birthday (December 30th) so this is going to be awesome to have a support group to help!
Good Luck everyone!0 -
I'm just joining, and after a salt-filled yesterday I'm pumped to reduce that bloat!
CW: 172.8
GW: 155 or so
My current goal is to get into the 160s. I was 170.6 on Saturday morning but then...weekend. I wasn't terrible, but enough to make the scale go up, not down. I'm determined to get there this week!
Playing an aggressive singles tennis match today; does that count for jumping jacks?
Good luck everybody!0 -
Woo hoo! I'm so excited the group is up. My hopes are that we can all motivate each other to accomplish our goals for New Years!. I can't wait to be 15 or more lbs thinner.
SW: 162.8
CW: 162
GW: 147
Average: 1 lb per week
Because I don't want to jinx myself I'll just say that I will be increasing my exercise. I'll be working out to Jillian Michaels and walking as much as I can. My goal is to have a minimum of 5 days of workouts and a max of 6 days. My diet will consist of a daily average of about 1300 calories due to current weight. As I lose weight I will be decreasing the amount of calories to 1200.
Edited to add my weigh in is usually Monday or Tuesday if I forget.0 -

I'd like to get to 160 or even 155 by new years. I have been logging my foods. I try to stick to 60 carbs per day and excercise 2 times per week. So far I have been losing 1-2 pounds per week. Just had a physical yesterday and I am having my vitamin B levels checked. Doc said AA women sometime shave a deficit, so working on gaining more energy as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated. 0 -
This fits my new mini-goal. I'm in.

I am going at this by just calorie counting so far. I intend to add exercise soon as time permits. I eat more veggies, I cook at home and pack my lunch for work. I have reduced eating out, but don't beat myself up if I ever do. Unlike previous times I am looking at this as a long-term project and taking my time, so I do not get extra stressed out over it.0 -

I'm a new member....
I am hoping to start eating better. I am working on eating between 1200 to 1500 calories a day. I started seing a nutritionist yesterday, looking for healthy alternatives to what I've been eating.
I love myfitnesspal, recording and keeping track of everything I eat, and all physical activity I do.
I have tendinitus in my leg, and have been limited on physical activity. I did make to the gym last Saturday, did the bike for 25 minutes, since it's low impact. I'm trying to make it to the gym 4 to 5 days a week if I can.0 -
I would love to join if that's ok?
I returned from my honeymoon a week a go but have been fighting a really bad chest infection. I will be starting a new next weekend with the hope to start exercising again next week.

Roughly 1.5lbs per week. I am also hoping to start the insanity workout shortly.0 -
I am excited to join this group. This time last year I had lost 46 pounds, reached my prepregnancy weight and was satisfied. Then the holidays hit and I stopped worrying about my weight. I quickly gained 15 pounds back. Now I am determined to get them back off and would love to lose a bit more.

My weapon in the weight battle has always been exercise but I have an injury right now that limits that. I am cycling and eating less processed food. I am also wanting to start Shakeology to see if it helps with cravings.0 -

I have no idea if it is even possible for me to get to 140, but what the hell - I'll give it a go! Screw setting a resolution on New Years Eve. Making one now to have the best New Years possible makes a whole heck of a lot more sense! What a great idea.
Thank you!0 -
Yes i agree. I just realized last week how close new years was and how I didn't stick to my last years resolution at all. It's never too late to get back on track. There is no point in dwelling on what I missed out on the past year. Time to step up for the upcoming year!New year, new hopes, new dreams, new goals and challenges!

I'd like to finish 30 Day Shred, & then finish Ripped in 30, and then start P90x all before the New Year. I'm also doing Couch to 5k alongside those programs and mini challenges whenever I find them. Sometimes I do extra cardio - elliptical and bike mostly, or extra strength training at the gym a few days a week, but I don't beat myself up if I don't. My eating hasn't been very clean lately, though I have stayed underneath my calorie goal, so I would like to change that and start eating clean with one cheat day (for special coffee-like drinks because I adore them) a week. I'm planning on hopefully starting that tomorrow.
Anyway, this is my goal for up until New Years. 0 -
TUESDAY WEIGH IN
Starting weight 9/19/12 - 171
Weight 9/25/12 - 168.6
Pounds dropped - 2.4 lbs (I say "dropped" rather than "lost" because I have no intention of finding these pounds again!)
Pounds to go by 12/31/12 - 12.6 lbs in 14 weeks to reach 15 week goal weight of 156
I am using the PINK Method while also tracking my food and exercise via MFP. It's going very well!!
The diet portion I have under control - it's mostly CLEAN eating!!
The exercise DVDs are HARD WORK!! I am so sore after two days of doing the workouts, but I feel fantastic!
I have family pictures coming up on 10/06 (as in, the grandparents and all 8 kids plus their families!!) so I'm really hoping to be down to at least 165 or less by then.0 -
