    Cherrypie ~ It's only 2 pounds a week if you start today and end March 30th! Totally doable. I've been losing 1 to 2lbs a week and I am at 1300 calories, and eat back 1/2 of my exercise calories (sometimes more, sometimes less...I listen to my body)

    Welcome to all the new girls!! We can totally do this!

    My first official WI: 148.5

    If I lose the 10lbs, it will bring me within 3.5lbs of my goal!! I'm excited, but also worried that it'll slow down as I get closer...but since I'm only 5'3" my goald should probably be closer to 125 anyway...I just think I'll look too skinny there.

    Today's goals:
    Get my water in
    Stay under calories
    Get Day 6 of the 30 Day Slim down accomplished

    Congrats on your loss so far, Sherry Lynn! That's amazing!

    Katie... Congrats on choosing 135, and not going for super skinny! That's an inspiration to me, since a few years ago, I thought that only 125 would make me happy. Now (I'm 5'5" / 5'6" -- I'm not 100% sure, but I've always gone with 5'6" :wink: ) I'd just love to be at 135!

    I'm in too. My anniversary is at the end of March and 10 pounds would put me right around my wedding weight. While it's not my final goal it's a perfect mini-goal.

    My workout goal for this month is to up the intensity of my workouts. So far I've been mostly walking but I'd like to add more jogging, elliptical, and biking/backpacking if the snow EVER melts. I've gotten way better about counting calories in the last month. My new nutrition goal is to work on improving the nutritional balance of those calories.

    This seems like a great positive group. I'm excited to watch us succeed! :happy:

    I weighed in this a.m. and lost 3.4lbs this week. I know I won't lose that much all the time, I wasn't feeling well on Saturday and didn't each much but have definitley made up for it since then. I think 10lbs is definitely doable! Good luck to all:bigsmile:

    Congratulations on loosing 3.4 lbs. Keep up the good work. You are correct you may not lose that much all the time but don't give up. We all can do this. :flowerforyou:

    Five weeks isn't alot of time. Going to have to work on it every single day to get there! That is why today, although I was nearly falling asleep at my desk at work, I still came home, made a very sensible dinner, and then did an hour of exercise. And even though tomorrow is another 10 hour shift, I intend to do the same.

    I think I need more sleep, and more water. And I am way under my calories today which is just crazy considering I ate 450 for breakfast.. How the... ? I don't want to snack too much late in the evening, that doesn't seem like it's a good idea... but it also can't be great to be so short this often. Hm, I guess I need to work on this. Oh yeah, that's why I am here!! :laugh:

    Really ,reeeeeally would be good to be 10 down at the end of March.

    Lets do this for real!
