    I'm doing the shred and walking everyday on a up hill path for 4-5 miles per day!

    I'm also doing 30 day shred, but I haven't been doing it everyday. I am pretty out of shape, so for me doing it 2-4 times a week right now is the sweet spot! I'll keep increasing it. The main thing I've been doing is REALLY being careful about every.single.thing. I eat and logging everything here as soon as I eat it! So far, it's worked wonders. Down 8 pounds since I started about a week and a half ago.

    I've really started fine tuning my diet and doing the 30ds. I had a baby 4 months ago so I'm still taking things pretty slowly. I think the 20lb goal might be a BIT much for me because I can't drop my calories that low (nursing mama here) but I'm hoping for 10! Next week I hope to find time to start running again.

    Hi,

    21 year old here. There is 59 days left til St. Patricks day. My goal is just 1 lb per week - so I would like to lose 10 lbs by then!

    If you want to be friends with me please add me and just let me know you are joining this so I can motivate you.

    I enjoy yoga and log everything.

    I'm in. I live in Ireland so our weather leaves a lot to be desired.
    I'll aim for 20, although I think it's a shade optimistic for me. :)

    Hey, I'm in. I am 22 and I am 5'1'' and weigh 130. I would love to get down to 110 by then. I redeploy back to the states around then and it would be great to show my family that I haven't been just sitting on my rear this deployment!

    I am 23 and I would like to try...I haven't been doing much lately to lose weight and I don't have a good way to work out yet other than playing Just Dance at home, but I can at least work on my eating.

    Funny- this was my exact plan before I even saw this! I started almost on the same day the OP did too, figuring 20 pounds in 10 weeks. Since it's my "first" 20 I figured it was doable (as opposed to the "last" pounds you have to lose which will be slower).

    Age:25
    Height: 5'4
    SW (1/5/13)- 170
    CW-165
    GW for 3/17- 150
    UGW- 135-140

    I've been as low as 120 before but I am looking for something more realistic to maintain. MFP put me on 1200 calories but I am trying not to get too caught up in that and staying between 1200-1400. So far it's working. I am excercising for just 25 minutes four days a week right now, but hope to increase as I get stronger.

    I want to play too! Anyone else here in graduate school of some sort?
    I'm 25 and need a kick in the pants to actually lose more than a couple of pounds this time.

    CW: 150.6
    GW for St. Patrick's Day: 135
    UGW: 125

    I'm also doing the "Lose 5 Pounds in January" challenge and that has helped me. I'm doing alright with eating but I am really failing with the physical activity component. There, I admitted it - now I need to do something about it.

    I have only just seen this but going to try and give it a go in the (almost) 8wks left. I am 5'4" have a total of 54lbs to lose so the more I can lose by St. Paddy's the better :happy:

    This sounds like a great challenge! It's wonderful to see so many ladies in the same boat as me ... well, I don't mean "wonderful" exactly, that sounds bad ... but it's nice to not be alone.

    I'm down for taking a run at this. Currently, I weigh 167 lbs at 5'7, and my ultimate goal is 135. Eeeeee, it would be delightful to be 147 lbs. I haven't weighed under 150 since high school! (I'm 29 now ... just squeaking into the "20-something" category.)

    And if anyone is looking for motivational friends, please add me!

    Yay! I'm in, I'm 23, just married about 2 weeks ago (!!!), and my 24th birthday is March 15th, and I literally CANNOT think of a better birthday present than losing 20 pounds!!! I am in desperate need of some HAPPY, motivated MFP friends, I vent once in a while, but it seems like all I see is negative posts. I am doing great right now, and I want more friends who are doing great! LET'S DO THIS!!!
