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

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 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!!!!

I would like to lose 10 period! By spring would be even better. I usually lift a few days a week and throw in cardio 1-2 days. I started eating at 1200 in Aug. upped to 1300 in Nov. I'm trying the TDEE-20% so I upped again to 1400. I hope I don't gain weight!

Add me too!!

I'm in! I'm 5'9", currently 147 hoping to get back down to the 130-133 mark: pre-"I moved in with my boyfriend" weight

I was doing Keto for a while but it wasn't really doing anything. Now I'm hitting the gym in earnest 4-5 times a week (45 min on the elliptical plus some REALLY light free weights haha) and set a goal of 1100 net cals.

Anyone feel free to friend/add me! I definitely need support, and am happy to give it!

I'm up for the challenge! Feel free to add me too

Count me in! Feel free to add me!
I am 5'4 and weigh 145 pounds! I want to get to a 130 by the end of April!

Did you find that bumping up to 1300 helped the weight loss move faster, slower, or the same?
