    Count me in!!!! Send me friend request! I log in daily and motivate all my firends to do the same. Its the best way to make sure you are on the right track to reaching your goal. If you need/give daily motivation, advice, ideas, or just a chat... add me. We all need a little push sometimes.

    Im in for the 10lb by the end of april are we doing weekly weigh ins?

    Well I definitely will be for sure.. maybe Fridays if anyone wants to do the same? (Before the weekend hits..:happy: )

    As we all have different goals / time frames.. others might be interested in measuring progress by inches or fitness levels?.. or that pair of skinny jeans in the back of the wardrobe..?

    I'm good enough with the exercise I do - my main problem is that I've been eating enough to maintain and even gain while doing all the work so my diet is what I need to focus on... I tend to eat when I'm stressed and at the moment I'm stressing over a lot of different things (kids/sicknesses/finance/work etc..) - so I need to nip it in the bud before they have to roll me out the door :embarassed:

    How's everyone else getting on so far? Has everyone set their goal / time frame / measurements? Any rewards in place?? I've put myself on a shopping ban until the 10lbs is off.. then I'm going to buy myself something fabulous :)

    I'm not replying from my laptop so haven't been able to confirm any of the friend requests yet by the way (incase anyone thinks I'm ignoring them!!)

    I have abut 11 lbs left, but I doubt I can lose ten in a month! I'm hoping to lose 5 lbs by May 15th. But 11 lbs by the end of the summer. I'm definitely in, though!

    I am in for Friday Weigh ins! Ill start this week. My scale is a piece of crap, but it doesnt matter how accurate it is, I just care if the number goes down! I think I will do inches too. I have toned up a lot and am doing a bootcamp 2x a week. I know I have lost body fat, but my size / weight hasnt changed much. I am building muscle for the first time.

    Hi! I just only joined MFP and am all set to lose 10LB! I'd love to join all of you if that's allright!! :)

    Hi all, I'd love to join too! I signed up for MFP in January and didn't log in until now... Well I've since gained 5 more lbs so could really use some pals to keep me going. I'm 34 yrs old, 5'2, 129 lbs. Aiming to get down to 115 lbs -- my weight for years until I started driving and stopped exercising. I'd be up for weekly weigh-ins!
  • I'm in for the Friday weigh ins. Definitely have one benchmark reward coming up. Couple more pounds (will be BACK in the 130s) and I finally get to take myself shopping for my vacation in May :drinker:

    This is exactly what I need! I do much better when others are holding me accountable! :happy:

    I am 5'4" and as of this morning weighed in at 131.8. I would love to lose 10lbs by the end of April! I am going on vacation mid May and really want the weight gone early so that I can buy some new clothes!

    I am good for Friday weigh ins! Thanks so much for starting this. It looks like you have inspired a lot of people!

    Great that there's so many of us.. we could nearly have a buddy system in operation so that nobody gets lost along the way :smile: (only joking).. (well, sorta..)

    I had cleared out my friends list as it has been a while since I was actively on here anyway.. none of them would remember me I'm sure.. so now my friends consist of only those who added me from this thread! (All 6 or 7.. Miss popular they'll call me :laugh: )

    If anyone else from here wants to add me, please feel free, we can motivate eachother on our walls too!!

    Weigh in tomorrow.. dum dum duuuum.

    Ok.. so I'm 1lb down.. not so bad a start :happy:

    (Will probably need to re-think my end of April goal but sure may aswell reach for the stars for now!)

    Anyone else weigh in? Or get their start weight even?

    I weighed in @ 122.8. Not sure if that was correct or not because my scale keeps messing up. I'm getting new one this weekend. It'll tell me 127 then it'll zero out and I'll step on it again and it'll say 123. LOL I wanna believe the lower number, but who knows. If the number was correct that would mean I lost about .08 this week!!

    i am on day 67 of 130 day program. down 10.8 pounds since january 21st, goal day is may 31st, i have a 1000 calorie a day deficit and workout 3 times a day, plus insanity in the am.

    i went from 163 to (!!!) 128. My goal is to get my body fat between 15-18% which is looking to be about 115-120 pounds.

    I would love to have some of you ladies on my friends list. i am a little over a week into insanity, and i update ALL the time.

    I warn you though, i talk about everything on my feed, i like when others talk too. i have substituted MFP for my facebook for the most part, and that has allowed me to integrate mfp into my daily life, and the people on my friends list are FRIENDS =D i want you to interact, complain, brag, and let us talk you out of that cake your craving! we all have weak moments, which is why we have mfp friends!!

    i had the same problem with my old scale... it would read 3 completely different weights within like 3 minutes. ridiculous. give in and buy a new scale!!! i bought the weight watchers, its a glass scale that gives bf% and bmi and everything, about 40$, and totally worth it, i LOVE IT. its so nice to have consistency. especially because i weigh myself eachday, but only log each week.

    Thank you! I will look at that one this weekend! I weigh myself daily too. Bad habit, but I like to see my progress :)
  • I know this is late but I just joined. Count me in!
  • Yessss! Talk to me girls!!! The last 10 are the toughest, but it's totally worth it...that's where the difference really shows! The diet this month is next month's body!! Want that SUMMER BODY! Gonna make it now! Here's to looking good in shorts, and swimsuits, and not putting off that pool party invitation! Maybe you'll throw one :) And to hearing those words "have you lost weight?" Let's just do this already!

    I'll get in on that. I just set a 10 lb. goal for myself!:smile:
  • Count me in! Technically, I have 8 pounds to go to reach my goal weight, but losing 10 definitely wouldn't hurt:laugh: I'm just hoping to be there by the beginning of May!!

    I have problems with my water intake to, have to push myself on that.

    EXACTLY! I have to remind myself. I'm doing better because instead of my fat free milk that I love, I'm trying to replace it with water when I eat dinner and lunch, most days.
  • weighed in yesterday at 141.8, having lost about 1 lb in the last week.....and, just got back from "running" a 5k (quotes because I don't run I sort of jog, wheeze, walk , hobble, jog, wheeze, repeat...... *snicker*)....so, on the right track :drinker:

    Hey ladies,

    Just came across this group and it is exactly what I'm looking for! I'm going on a bike trip in early May and my mom told the trip that I am ten pounds lighter than I currently am -- definitely some crazy motivation! I'm around 128.5 lbs now -- losing about a pound a week, but trying to get down to 120. Could definitely use some support -- glad I found y'all.

    So awesome! Congratulations! Thing is... whether you wheez, jog, run or whatever... YOU DID IT!!! Admirable. I know how much work it was for me when I did my 5k the end of October 2011.
