    Were you asking in general or to a specific person???
    well here is the break down again :wink:
    WE NOW HAVE 89 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS,,, THATS 13 WEEKS!
    1 LB PER WEEK IS 13 LBS LIGHTER THAN YOU ARE RIGHT NOW.....
    1.5 LBS A WEEK IS 0VER 19LBS LIGHTER THAN YOU ARE RIGHT NOW
    AND A WELL PLANNED, WELL EXECUTED COMMITMENT TO 2 LBS A WEEK- IS 26 LBS LIGHTER THAN YOU ARE RIGHT NOW!! THIS IS STILL POSSIBLE!!
    I would suggest to add a few EXTRA workouts to your week, this is assuming you are already working out at least 3x's a week

    Wow, long night...we had to do inventory at my job so I just got home!! So late!! Just wanted to check in and read everyone's responses...didn't plan my meals to well and ended up eat Jack in the box!! Uh oh.

    I just wanted to see what everyone is doing to get their exercise in..and how often and how long everyone is planning on exercising.

    Night everyone.

    Well I followed through on my plan to stay within my calories yesterday. And I did day one of C25K on the treadmill last night too. I can't believe I did the whole thing!! Granted it's only cycles of jogging for 60 seconds, but I did all the cycles without stopping. Yay!

    Congrats to everyone who lost this week!!:flowerforyou:

    I was at 195 this morning. Hoping to see less than that next week.

    I weigh in on Fridays...so far I have been doing bad this week...not planning meals in advance and ending up eating crappy food. But today is a new day!! I packed my lunch full of nutritious low cal food and tons of water!!

    I enjoy a challenge. I think I'll hop on this one and see how close I get.
    I've had a consistent loss for weeks now so I just might be able to pull this off!
    So, we'll see what happens...

    Is it too late to get started? If you count the 5 lbs I lost this week then I am on my way to 30 lbs gone by Christmas. I have been doing this for about 10 days is all. Gonna do the very best I can. 30lbs will put me under 200lbs for the the first time in about 5 years.
