    I was doing soooo well and then I found out that we are going to relocate to Massachusetts from California...and now I am just plain stressed out because it is such short notice. I am not worried about moving across the country as much as I am about how we are going to get it done!!

    I'm down to try for 30lbs by christmas!!! That would be awesome!!! I've been in gear for about 6 weeks and lost 5 1/2 so far. I'm trying to step it up into high gear with doing step aerobics classes in my working out routine. i'm also on a 1200 cal a day food thing too. let's rock n roll!!!! =) we can do this ladies!

    Hi all I am having to take a good hard look at my diet mainly my sodium intake. I am stuck as far as the scale goes I did however, take my measurements again and in the past 37 days I have lost a total of 17.5in!! 5.5in of my waist and 5in off my hips too!! :drinker: hopefully I can get the scale to cooperate in the coming week!! :grumble:

I was laid off for threee weeks and now I'm back to work so I'm trying to find a way to fit in the workout and the gym. I'll have to go back to my 5am workouts it looks like

    30 pounds huh? no sure..10 weeks to lose 30..guess its possible. I'll try.

    SW (10/11/10) 204.4
    GW for 12/25- 174.4.

    We'll see..I lose 2-3 pounds a week because of hard exercise so this is possible. and my GW is 140 so that will definately bring me closer.

    I am with you! I woke up this morning with the same determined idea. I am on a 1200 calorie diet as well, and my goal is to lose 30 pounds by Christmas. I know we can do this! Oh yeah, I am doing 30 min of cardio 5 days a week. I gotta start somewhere.

    When I started out I was doing 1200 cals and 30 minutes 5 days a week. I doesnt seem like alot of exercise but it had me losing an average of 4 lbs a week. Of course now Ive slowed down alot but thats because my bodies gotten use to it. Good luck you can do it wtih just the 30 minutes a day. Im now at 1 lb average a week. Dunno if Im gonna get the 30 by xmas at this rate but Im sure has heck gonna try. Got 19 to lose for goal weight!

    Good morning, all!

    I am happy about being out of the 250's though - whoo hoo!!!

    I am in a wedding next Friday and my mini-goal was to be down 25 pounds - i better get my act together!

    Sorry I haven't left a message lately been busy and then got a horrible tummy bug, and waiting for my body to rehydrate again before I weigh in. Wish I could take the 3kg loss (unfortunatly I think it is all liquid!!!) So will leave this weeks weigh in and update again next week.:laugh:

    I am still on track though to lose the 30 pounds by Christman.

    Have a good day

    Count me IN! I have my dream wedding just before Christmas and have had to buy a larger dress.. why do they make wedding dresses for people with TINY backs! I don't think i'm especially broad but it fits me everywhere else (because it's empire line hah!)

    HOWEVER.. I still have the original dress and my aim is to fit into that one - I want to work on toning my back because I AM a bit flabby there (and elsewhere) so I'm definitely in on this one! hopefully my back is where the fat will fall off first.... I'm not particularly busty either so, fingers crossed!

    Good luck to everyone else!
