Remember if we're toning up, muscle does weigh more than fat. That said, I want to hit my goal #1 (130 -which is 10 pounds from now; 11 actually) by the end of April...will be overseas in Africa on mission for a few weeks with little control over what I eat and no gyms to speak of (remote Zambia)...but I'm hoping to stay healthy and on track and say no to (too) many amazing African sodas!

So I am up two pounds in the last 2 weeks. Not happy about that. My downfall is the weekend. I can be very strict during the week and I get exercise. I hope to maybe mix up my weekends with work out DVDs and with the nice weather some outside walks. I also plan to do a purge this weekend and get rid of any bad tempting foods in my house. And as sad as it sounds I saw a plate for toddles that has special slots for what food portions they should be eating. I am totally getting one of these for myself and hanging it on my pantry door so I can look for what I need not what I want.

Here's to hoping! :drinker:

Hi ladies! I am in, too! I am very new to MFP -- I have been tracking with LoseIt since December and unfortunately found it to be inaccurate..I lost about 4 pounds but not nearly the 15 I was hoping for in that time frame. I've been working out regularly (5x a week, at least 45 minutes) but just haven't seen much change on the scale. I am really hopeful that MFP will be a more precise measure! I'm at 140, and know I'm a bit late to the game here,but would love to be at 130 come the end of April. Happy losing to all!

I am so up for this! It's my first ever post on my first ever thread too . I hope to lose 10 lbs all ready for my hols in Easter. Am currently at 141 lbs this is my second week of eating well and exercising every other day working on cardio and strength work. Looking forward to the journey ahead !!

I'd like to lose 10 as well; I put on about 7-8 lbs (of course depending on the weigh in day) and I just can't seem to kick it. We are taking a family vacation the end of May and I would definitely like to have that 10 lbs. off and work on toning and looking good in my bathing suit. Need motivation and accountability. Anyone willing to take the challenge face on with me; please add me. Would also like to join this group.

I'm in!

Just talked to a trainer at the gym, I workout 5 days a week. Some HIIT classes, kettlebell, core blast, 50/50, etc. He flat out said, ditch the cardio except for maybe one HIIT class a week and JUST weight train the rest of the days.

It goes against everything I believe , as I like to sweat, but I am going to give it a shot, as apparently what I am currently doing is NOT working.

( well I have gone down 2.5% body fat, but jeans are TIGHTER and scale doesn't budge)

Just 6 to go... Hoping to lose by May 1st. Finally went bra shopping. I have avoided for a while enough though I knew with my weightloss I was losing "the girl". SOOOOOO... Today I bought 2 new bras that are 36B... HOLY CRAP.. I use to wear 36/38 D or DD. THE GIRLS ARE GONE!!!

But that needed to happen in order to lose the rest of it... 44lbs down and 6 to go!!!!

I'm in, too! I don't know if it's realistic for me to lose 10 by end of April (I'm 137 now and want to get down to 110-119). But I'm in for 10 lbs by end of May!

I gave myself a week off from working out and dieting. I found it too had to stick to my diet until April. I started my calorie deficit at the end of January and lost 5 pounds. Plus I couldn’t ignore my body’s need for a break. My legs were so tight I was walking with a limp last week.

I’m feeling refreshed and ready to get started again. 5 weeks left to loose 10 pounds.
