I'm setting a mini-goal to hit by May 1st, to help keep me on track for my "ultimate goal". I'd like to be in the 160s by then. I already know a few of you are in for this but I wanted to open it up to anyone else who may need a little motivation to get them thru the next month and a half or so.

So, who's in????????

    I'm in. I hit my original goal of 145, but I realized I still have a little more fine-tuning to go. Maybe 5 more pounds, maybe 10. So I'm shooting for hitting 140 by May 1 (and if I get closer to 135, I won't complain). Thanks!

    So where are you starting at? I'm at 176, since I want to be in the 160s I'll "technically" be there in 6 lbs. So I'm really shooting for mid 160s but anywhere in that range I'll accept! :bigsmile:
  • Count me in!!! 150 by May 1st!

    135 by 5/1 (which just sounds totally crazy since I haven't been in the 130's since I was in my early teens! Starting at 140.4 Ultimate goal is 130 and then I'll reevaluate :wink:

    155 by May 1st! :smile:

    I guess I should put my stats:

    Current Weight: 161
    Goal by May 1: 155
    Total Pounds to Lose: 6
    Weeks until May 1: 8

    I could probably go lower in the goal, but since I have been in a recent plateau, I want to push back into losing easy. :tongue:

    I'm in.... I'd like to be 165 by Mat 1st. That's 2 pounds a week. I've been on a plateau for the past month.
    Any advice to speed this up. Maybe we can talk about our best weight loss trick. Mine is start with a healthy breakfeast.

    I recently got an "on line" trainer - she used to date my brother and is an actual personal trainer and we've been e-mailing back and forth and I've been getting great info from her. She said I need more protein in my breakfast (I normally eat oatmeal or Special K), so today I had eggs. She also suggested whey protein powder mixed with yogurt and berries. She also said to not go more than 4-5 hours without eating because your body needs something to burn. Even if its a piece of fruit or something it's best to eat something to prevent your body from going into starvation mode. Even though I normally eat every 4 hours or so I'm going to make sure I don't skip out (no matter how busy I am). My body is FAR from starving so I don't want to put it in a state where it thinks it is! :laugh:

    I would like in too! I'd like to be at 245 by May 1st. I've been stuck for 2 months though so I'm going to have to figure out how to break this plateau.

    As for when we weigh in how about majority rules??? I personally don't want to do it on Saturday cause if I'm bad Friday nite that'll blow it! But that's just me....

    I've been weighing myself on Wednesdays and since it's the middle of the week it's been working good for me. So that's my vote.

    What do you all think?

    Only bad thing is during the week im up at 5am

    Nia - You could just give your Saturday weigh-in numbers on whatever day the group agrees on. That way it won't mess up your schedule!

    Any day works for me for weigh-in day, as I weigh myself every morning anyway. :tongue:

    Jill - What happened to you saying NO to the scale???? :angry:
  • PJilly
    PJilly Posts: 22,179 Member
    LOL. I said no for that period when it was making me feel bad, so it was counterproductive to get on it daily. But I'm in a better place now, and what the scale tells me isn't bringing me down.
