Small Goal Big Results - Loose 10 - 15 lbs by Halloween!

I'm in. I need some accountability:

Todays Date: 9/30/13
Current Weight: 141 lbs
Goal Weight by Halloween: 130 lbs

So true; thats what this is about the accountabilty! I know I need it and by this I feel like I will. Log everyday for the next 31 days. Lets see where we end up! EXCITING!

I'm gonna try. I'm just starting my weight loss journey. I'm afraid I'm not very confident. I have an autoimmune disorder and I've been steadily gaining weight for the last 3 years. But, I have to start somewhere. My stats are embarrassing so I may wait to do that. But I will try to check in. Thanks for any support you can give.

Never be afraid to make a positive change. i hope that we can all motivate you! Yes starting is the hardest part, but as the qoute says "A year from now you would have wished you started today!" I wish you the BEST of LUCK and its not about the number you loose in the next 31 days but the accountability you do for yourself. Best WISHES

You can do this! Im try to post some more helpful eating tips. I found another on I like on Fast Metabolism Meals.

Some more meal Ideas. http://www.fastmetabolismdiet.com/diet/

The best way to rev up your sluggish metabolism is to eat, and eat a lot. How could eating a lot help you lose weight? The secret is to shake things up: Confuse it to lose it! By eating specific whole, nutritious, delicious foods on specific days, you’ll speed up your metabolism and get it burning again. And you’ll do it without going hungry or giving up your favorite foods. And never forget about exercise: If you want to truly optimize your metabolism, you have to get your body moving. It’s as simple as 30 minutes of exercise, three times a week.

The 3-Phase Plan requires that you complete all three phases, every week for four weeks. Each day of each phase requires that you eat three meals and two snacks. You can always repeat the 28-day plan, or even just a week or two of the plan if you find your metabolism needs

How does the Diet work?
Eat your way to a thinner you! On The Fast Metabolism Diet you’re going to eat a lot, and still lose weight. What you’re not going to do is count a single calorie or fat gram. Instead, you’re going to rotate what you’re eating throughout each week according to a simple and proven plan carefully designed to induce precise physiological changes that will set your metabolism on fire.
•PHASE ONE (Monday-Tuesday): Lots of carbs and fruits
•PHASE TWO (Wednesday-Thursday): Lots of proteins and veggies
•PHASE THREE (Friday-Saturday-Sunday): All of the above, plus healthy fats and oils
•Repeat for four weeks!

Hailed as “the metabolism whisperer,” Haylie reminds us that food is not the enemy, it’s the rehab needed to rev-up your sluggish, broken-down metabolism and turn your body into a fat-burning furnace.
