JOIN ME IN LOSING 25 LBS

I am new to my fitness pal online. Been using it through my mobile. I am in! Let's do it!

Hi there - I'm going to weigh myself once a week, every Wednesday evening and measure myself every two weeks. My ideal goals are in my signature, however, 20-25lbs by Christmas would be lovely!!!

I am following the weight watchers plan and I love it! It is so flexible and promotes healthy eating - at the same time I am keeping check of my calories on MFP.

Hi everyone! Just joined the program today but i started by diet/exercise regimen last week. Last week i weighed 155 and in one week i lost 5 pounds! And it was all due to tracking my calories and exercising 5 days a week- although im sure i just lost a lot of water weight from taking spinning classes. Boy- do you sweat bullets in that class! I highly recommend it! On another note, my goal is to lose 30 lbs. by January!

Good luck to everyone and feel free to add me! Let's work on this together!

Hi everyone. My goal is to be 150lbs ultimately so I figured if I break it down to half, I won't be setting my self up for failure like other times before. I have been off and on with exerxising and dieting for the past 3 years. My biggest problem is consistency, also I wanted immediate results until I realized it's an entire lifestyle change so this time I am serious about this and taking it one day at a time. I go to Curves and do the curcuit on Mondays, Wednesdays,and Fridays which consists of working each muscle group. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I do Cardio and Ab classes. Every now and then I do extra things when I'm off like go walking for 2 miles or doing the WII Fit. I'm following a 30 day diet by Dr. Ian from the 50 million pound website. Its a good meal plan that shows you how to eat small portions; also right when I was starting the plan I did a 2 week cleanse and flush. I weigh in once a month at Curves. So let's all help motivate each other and shed those pounds and inches!

Count me in! 25 lbs by the New Year it is....if I manage this I'll be so delighted
My overall goal is to lose 29 lbs so I wouldn't have too far to go then. I think I'll go with a Friday weigh-in, seeing as I've only just started on here today.
Feel free to add and encourage/nag! :bigsmile:

same goal for me!

my current weight is about 125 or 126. my dream is 100 but realistically 105 :}

I'm brand new and I'd love to join you in losing 25 by January.

I just read the post further, so I am going to post my info. I joined MFP over a year ago, but didn't really use it at all until April of this year, and didn't really start using it on a daily basis until June. Since April, I have lost 27 Lbs, which is not the best results but considering I was traveling most of the time ( I was in London for April and May... On a road trip across America for all of June and in Finland for all of July and part of August) I didnt have a lot of time to focus on diet and exercise so I consider it a win situation. In April I weighed in at 198, as of last sunday I weighed 171. We will see what it is tomorrow. I think now that Im not traveling and have TONS of free time to devote to my health and fitness plan, I can DEFINITELY handle 25 lbs by January and I feel very grateful that I found this group!

I weigh myself every Sunday. I only measure once a month at the end of the month. I work out 5 times a week, but at the very least I do a mile walk every day just to keep active.

As far as eating, the biggest thing I focus on is portion control and balance in my diet.. If I want something I eat it, I dont deprive myself of anything. If I want a milkshake, I have one, but I only eat half, enjoy the heck out of it, log it and plan the rest of my day accordingly. I have found that when I am on a restrictive diet it leads to cravings and binges and falling off the wagon.

Its working for me at least. I can't wait to work towards our goals together.
