For us gals looking to lose 10 lbs by the end of spring!

don't worry, I'll be your supporter
I already lost 13 lbs but I'm looking on losing at least 10 more
feel free to add me

Count me in! I'm 5'4 and 136 lbs, hoping to be 125 lbs by May 19th (My wedding day!!!!) I've been working hard since January 1 and have only lost 4 pounds, so I don't know if I will make it. :sad:

Hey I am looking to loose at least ten pounds by the spring, hopefully more like 15. Lets share ideas! The last ten pounds are the hardest to loose....

I agree!! lets share ideas and help each other get to our goal :happy:

I am working on that last 9 pounds:( Why is it sooooo hard???? I have obtained lifdetime status with Weight Watchers in July of 2011, I am at a healthy weight yet I want to go below my current weight and tone up now so I do have that weight to "play" with and not have to be super strict all summer long. I am 5'9 and currently 164 and I want to be 155.....Please feel free to add me I am open to everyone insight and will gladly help you with some:)

What does your routine/calorie intake look like?

I'm eating 1200 calories, doing 30 Day Shred, and Couch25K. I was alternating days between 30DS and C25K, but now I'm trying to do both every day and bumping the calories up to 1450.

I'm curious what you guys are doing because these 10 pounds are soooooo hard! Like you guys, I'm already a healthy weight so I think my body is fighting me every step of the way.

Was this for me? If so, I'm doing aerobics 5 days a week (just started 3,5 weeks ago) and I eat around 1,400 cals per day.
Yep. I've never weighed less than I do now in my adult life so I'm very curious about how my body will respond.
I'm really impatient though lol but I know I'll not give up.

It was to ALL! I want to get ideas, because my progress is moving sooooooooooooo slow.

10lbs by the end of April is my goal. I'm in for some extra support and advice!

Looking to lose closer to 25 total, but hoping for 10 by april as well!

Me, me, me! Although my goal weight is a little less than 10lbs. Strickland805, the best way to get rid of that arm jiggle fast is to start lifting heavy. I

I'm 5'2"
SW: 153
CW: 135
GW: 125

I have 10 pounds to go to my initial goal... I'll re-evaluate my goal once I get there.

I'm at 1200 a day (and eating back some or all exercise calories) and I've been losing steadily, so I'll stick with 1200 until (if) I hit a plateau. I'm doing C25K and doing about a half hour on the elliptical on days I don't run.

I'm in! I'm looking to lose around 10lb, I think. My goal is really to lose the rest of my jiggle, but I'm not sure what that will amount to in terms of lbs lost. Right now I net 1450 calories, since my BMR is around 1375, 1400, and I eat back my exercise calories. I do cardio, mostly elliptical, several times a week, do a modified version of stronglift 5x5, and do circuit training, mostly TRX and Body pump at the gym (although I've been out of the gym routine for a week or so and won't be able to go back until next week). I do pilates occasionally, as well. I need to work harder on ensuring that I am making good use of my calories - waste less on booze and sweets, lol - and make sure that I am more consistent with my intake. I can't log as consistently as I would like, because of internet access issues, which makes it tougher.

Anyone who is in a similar boat is more than welcome to add me!

ETA that I doubt I'll lose my last 10 by the end of spring, but it won't stop me from working toward it, lol.

I'd like to lose about 15 by the end of spring,
but sure, I'm in.

I've been put on 1220 a day and have swapped any snacks for fruit but that actually takes up quite a lot of the calories which is annoying.

What's all this 30 shread and C25K?

30 Day Shred is a 30 minute workout video by Jullian Michaels (from the Biggest Loser). It combines strength, abs, and cardio. You do 10 days of level 1, then 10 of level 2, then 10 of level 3. I really like it so far! I've actually gained weight since starting it, but my pants almost fell off earlier when I was running to my car in the rain so I think it is trimming me up. Somebody put it on youtube so you can get it for free here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Pc-NizMgg8&list=PL06F7D4D05FE22F9F&index=10

C25K is Couch To 5K. It is interval training to help beginner runners get to a 5k in 9 weeks. I've done 5k's before using this method and it is great way to gradually build into it. Here is more info on it and the actual plan: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

Anyone know of a good exercise to get rid of that fat under your arm that jiggles when you wave? That is the number one thing that needs to go!!!

Thanks a Lot!!!!
