Lose 10 lbs by 2/28/13

Weight lost: 1lb (since last weigh-in 4 days ago)
Weight to go: 9lb
Strength: Kept under my calorie goals.
Weakness: Fried/Fast food.
Goal next week: More exercise and no fast food.

Feel like I'm joining in way late, but I so need this to get me back on track! Thanks for starting this challenge and inviting all of us!

How do I get the one pound loss ruler like everyone else?

Loss/gain this week: -1.4 lb
amount left to meet goal: about 8 lbs.
Strengths: activity
Weaknesses: ice cream
Goal for this week: Maintain walks at lunch time and try to stay away from the ice cream

This sounds great!

Last week:

Weight: -1.4 lbs
To Goal: 8.6 lbs
Strengths: Tracked calories every day even when I knew I was going to blow my totals
Weaknesses: Gave in to a craving for a Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich on a day I didn't have the calories to spare.
Goals: Yoga twice this week, cardio every other day, keep tracking calories

Weighing in a little early this week because Friday is going to be crazy...

Weight: 241.6, -2.6 lbs
To Goal: 6 lbs
Strengths: Went to Nia class on Monday, got on the treadmill on Tuesday, tracked calories every day.
Weaknesses: Didn't get up and go to my early AM yoga class on Saturday.
Goals: Yoga on Thursday and Saturday, cardio on Friday, keep tracking calories, drink at least 10 glasses of water per day.

I'm in too as I need to lose about that before my holiday in 7 weeks.
I'm feeling down at the minute & finding it really hard to leave the naughty food
alone :-((

I'll definitely join. Maybe I'm joining this late, but I think 10 pounds in a month is totally doable - I've already lost 2!

Can't wait to start seeing the results from everyone and feeling the motivation.
I'm using this everyday, and I'm going to try and keep a small journal in my log everyday of my workouts.
Definitely interested in anyone who is serious about losing weight and wants some encouragement along the way!

Good luck everyone!

Goals: Do treadmill tonight to end week on a high note. Continue tracking calories. Do cardio at least three times this week. Drink 10 glasses of water per day. Not let this past week's difficulties derail me .

I'm promising myself a massage when I get this first 10 lbs off!

(carboholic with a love for all things salty)

Posting early since I'm busy tomorrow..

Current Weight: 239.6, -1.4lbs

To Goal: 4lbs

Strengths: Logged calories every day. Mostly stayed under my calorie count -- any overages were small. Ate more vegetables this week and drank veggie juice with my breakfast to get in an extra serving.

Weaknesses: Fell down on the workout front -- no structured exercise this week at all, though I was active in my job and in doing housecleaning, etc.

Goals: Cardio at least three days, Nia or Yoga at least once this coming week. Continue to log calories. Continue to weigh daily to see what causes fluctuations (I notice that the day after a sodium-heavy meal, I'm a pound or so heavier, then back to previous weight the next day). Continue to choose fruits and vegetables for snacks.
