20-30 lbs to lose group

Weigh in for this week DOWN 2.5 lbs.
My body just does not lose that much at one time, so I am THRILLED!!
Hope everyone has a successful week !

Realistic Goal : 150 lbs
Fantasy Goal: 145 lbs

I just joined this site about a week ago, and I am starting the P90X workout tonight. I have little motivation and may things going on around me with three girls at home and have try to start this workout a couple other times. This is the time that I am going to try my hardest to stick to eatting better and doing my work outs. We are going on Vacation in May and I want to be in better shape by then. I am currently 156.2 lbs and would like to get down to 130 lbs. and tone.

jbuffan218 I absolutely LOVE this! :drinker:
"I dont smoke,drink, do illegal drugs or have promiscuious sex so what the hell, let me have my diet coke!"

Hope I'm not too late to jump in...I weigh in Tuesdays, but will switch to Mondays.

I thought my lowest weight had been 147lbs, but found my little record or weights/measures from about 8 years ago and I was 137 at my lowest! All I can say is, "What the h happened?!" (and I know the answer...I stopped working out and started eating as much as my then future husband!)

I started mfp quite a while ago, but then fell off the wagon...I've been faithfully back since the end of January and don't plan on leaving. I've always known the secret to weight loss, but actually doing it is so much different :blushing:

I'm 5'3".
Starting weight: 168.2lbs
CW: 160.6 lbs (today)
GW: 130 lbs

I think a mini goal will help me (but I've always been scared to commit to short term goals):
Mar 9: 158.6

Good luck everyone!

Just checking in: 198lbs. w00t.
Last week was 201.

3lbs in 1 week is a little much, guessing a big bit of that is water weight. But I'll take it either way

I didn't get a chance to post yesterday but I weighed in today and am down another pound. so close to 159 I can taste it!

Hi Everybody,
My name is Janet and I am re-joining MFP. I've had some success using this site to lose weight and stay motivated to exercise but fell off the wagon right around mid January. I''m weaning myself off of these darned cigarettes (down to 5-7/day) and have gained 7.5 lbs!!:noway: Yikes!!! Once again I surrender ~ I need your support before I completely fall off the planet. I'm coming home!!
So far today I've walked 2 miles before work and only smoked 3 cigarettes (and they are all natural tobacco - ultra light's, that's a pretty good rationalization, hahaha) Planning on a TJ dvd when I get home - Cardio Party 1 or 2. Hope you all will let me join in!!
Starting Weight : 174.5
Goal Weight : 145.0

Will check in later and Thanks,
Janet

down to 162.6 ... I mean if that stays. I've had so many issues these past 2-3 weeks fluctuating from 163-166, I don't know what to believe anymore.

I'd like to join too! I will be one week healthy eating plan this Wednesday, weigh in day for me. Thanks for all the inspiration! Keep at it everyone!

Dottie

good idea

Glad to see some posts on this topic. As of Monday, I am one third of the way to my goal of 30 pounds. On one hand, it is depressing to know that it took me over 2 months to get this far, and I won't reach my goal until August. BUT, when I look back and think that I have stuck with it since the beginning of January, that makes me feel good.
SW 9/09 190
SW 1/10 192
CW 3/10 180
GW 8/10? 160

I finally found my way back to this thread.
I had lost it and forgotten that I had joined, saw the topic today and started reading
all the posts and found mine!
Imagine that !

Well, not much has changed unfortunately.
Ironically I found my post from 2/20/10 and was thrilled that I weighed 165 down from my start of 173.5 well since that time I went to 166 then to 166.5 then last week down to 164.5 ( I was jumping up and down that week, and once again believed in miracles) then today weigh in day for me ,back to 165.
So in the one month since I posted I am EXACTLY THE SAME!!!!!
Seriously? and I really did think I was making progress. I really do loose slooooowwww. But I didnt realize it was quite that slow.
I am not giving up, I really can tell the difference even with my teeny tiny weight loss, my inches are where I see the most change..
So I am still here, plugging away.
I will check in again hoping to post a smaller number.
Good Luck to all....and to all a goodnight .:yawn: its 3:01 am as I write this.

I would like to join your group. I'm starting on myfitnesspal today and was looking for some motivation/support. I am currently hoping to lose around 20 pounds so I thought this would be good group for me!

New here and wanted to lose ~30 lbs. I'm 5'2" tall and my current weight is 155lbs. Way too much for my petite frame.
My goal is 125lbs.
Hoping that in 11 weeks I can tone up some and lose maybe half of the weight? It's a lofty goal but we are going to Fl at the end of June and I want to feel a little more confident in shorts and a swimsuit.
I'm a sahm and have been using free fitness videos on exercise tv and on demand.
I've been working out for a little over a week now, 6 days a week. Anywhere from 20-40 mins. Trying to keep my calories under 1600 but realize I may have to drop that lower to really see some results.
Anyways, I hope to see others join in and report some progress. Sometimes I think when you've only got 20-30lbs to lose it is sooo much harder and comes off at a much slower rate.

I know the group isn't so active, but I'll join as well. I'm well on my way to re-losing a bunch of weight I've put back on since hurting my back several times and not being able to exercise (and have been eating poorly). Anyways, it is always fun to be inspired, inspire, and have fun.

Good luck to all!
