So I am a very competitive person, but friendly competitive! IS there any one on here that needs to lose around 45 pounds and wants to try a little competition to see who can lose the most weight in a month? I know it's sounds silly, but I think it might help to keep me motivated!:laugh:

    Count me in! The smallest I've ever seen my body is 20lbs less than i am now ... but to lose 45 is my ideal... maybe I can push a little harder if I stick with you all!!

    Hello!
    I have 45 pounds to lose, so hope you don't mind me joining in - I love/need motivation!!!

    Today, July 18th - I weigh (sigh) 219 lbs.

    I'm at home with the kids and packing for a two week vacation . . . I have my fingers crossed and a bit of a plan to continue with eating right, but leaving routine is never a good thing for me (again, sigh).

    Good luck everyone!

    5'6"
    188 lbs as of this morning
    No idea what my measurements are...I should check into that. :)

    I walked on my treadmill between 3.5-3.8 mph with just a .5% incline for 68 minutes this morning and did a total of 4 miles. I also did some stretching. I need to find a way (and time and energy) to incorporate strength training...

    This is going to be fun! I can always use extra incentive to keep on track! Thanks guys...err...gals!!! :flowerforyou:

    Thanks,

    As of this morning I was at 217lbs
    I am 5'6"
    Need to do the measurements just haven't found the time.

    This morning I rode the bike at the Gym for 10 mins.
    I did weights with my biceps and triceps 50 mins.

    Hope to be able to walk tonight.

    Thanks for the challenge. Good luck everyone

    Ok, so I tried to start a 'biggest loser' thing at work and it didn't get going... My current goal is to get to 160 pounds, which is 25 pounds away...

    HOWEVER, I could really stand to lose that extra 15 pounds to get me to 40... I was just trying to start small so I can feel like I'm making progress...

    Can I join in?

    Today is 185, (my highest ever was 203 - not counting during pregnancy)...
    I am 5'7"...
    No idea on measurements.. I honestly don't want to know :embarassed:

    don't know if I'll get around to exercising today, might try to take my twins for a bike ride tonight.. it's a great workout with an extra 60 pounds to pull behind me!

    Thanks for doing this!

    Happy Friday my friends!!! Only 3 more days until our first weigh in Monday morning!! I just wanted to wish you a wonderful and healthy weekend!

    I just got back from the gym! But i'm going to a tailgate for the A's game tonite (Go A's!!) so I'm hoping that I keep Monday in mind and don't do anything crazy. Tomorrow I'm going to help a friend move (I'm more excited then she knows I'll get to burn extra calories from it... heheheh) and I'm crossing my fingers that I'll have the energy to go to the gym still before or after I help her... so its going to be an fun weekend!!! :)

    OK.. looks like I'm the first one here today...

    Since my last post I've lost 1.5 pounds to get to 183.5... :drinker:
    Total loss of about 11...

    of course, that depends on the day (water weight is a real stinker) - don't you hate that you can swing in weight every day by one or two pounds!!?!

    anyway.. I'm waiting on my Polar F4 to come in the mail so I can start tracking my exercise calories more closely... I don't know if I'm eating enough or too much!!!!!
