    edited January 9 in Motivation and Support
    Hello everyone! My name is Juliette( sn: Jaselygirl ). My brother, Pascal (sn: Germomiter) and I are planning on a weight loss challenge. We are planning on losing 10 lbs each by 2/28/13! (That's about 6 weeks) We want to kick start some weight loss and having small goals helps out a lot. The other thing that helps is having more people do it with us! If you want to do this with us please post on here and we will all help each other reach our goal! :)

    Welcome!

      Alrighty everyone! I'm glad you all are joining us!!! :) I am thinking that every Monday we should post how we did for the past week...

      Like this would be mine for the past week:

      Loss/gain this week: -1lb
      amount left to meet goal: 9lbs
      Strengths: was more active
      Weaknesses: binged on some ice cream one night
      Goal for this week: continue being active and no binging


      Then we can always post in here if we are struggling/need support or even if we have tips for everyone else. We should also give encouragement if we see that someone is faltering :) What does everyone think? (I'm open to suggestions)

      Hey - if it's not too late to join, I would totally like to be in for this. I will be trying to use intermittent fasting (16/8 method to begin with and then see how I go...) to get down 10 pounds by the end of February and excited to get there with all of you! I just started today after falling off the health wagon for the last six weeks (again...ho hum).

      My mini goals were 7 lbs by 2/22 (down 1.2 lbs so far)- for a weekend trip for DH and I and to be down 12 lbs total by 3/22/12 (weekend trip with friends-- so this challenge is perfect!

      I will join in! I'm Julie.

      I am at my highest weight in almost ten years and honestly - it really snuck up on me in the last six months! So, I need to get that pesky ten back off!!!!! I am also training for a half marathon in April which makes it actually a bit more challenging for me because I get extra hungry when I run more.....

      Anyway

      Current weight: 150

      celiac so generally eat a lower carb type diet
      going to try to really restrict my alcohol to 0-3 glasses of red wine per week instead of the 5-6 I was drinking!
      no candy, sugar, ice cream, treats!

      We can all work together! :) (don't forget to "treat" yourself in ways other than food to reward yourself)

      I am in too... I started working out on 7th of this month and plan was to reduce 10lbs around 11th Feb. But sometimes I miss working out so hoping to reduce the same by end of Feb.
