    Hello all! I would like to join your group! I weigh 187 right now. I totally would love to see that scale drop by July and I need all the support I can get. I use to weigh 225 but lost down to 165 and this past 8 months have gained some back with job lose and stress. Things are back on track and I am ready to get this weight back off!!!

    Looking forward to the challenge of losing 20lbs for the summer. I would really like to lose 18lbs by the middle of July, but this will be really tough, but I am very motivated, just need to keep the motivation going.

    How are we going to use this group?

    Good Luck

    :smile:
  • Count me in just started today and already in need of motivation :(

    Count me in! I go away the last weekend in July so that gives me 14 weeks and if I could drop another 20 lbs I would be extremely happy.

    I just got back on track today. It has been a very rough winter for me.
  • Count me in , I weigh in on Mondays , I'm currently 178.4lbs I started out at 225lbs 3years ago my goal is to get down to 140lbs .

    oh and my current weight is 194
  • I'm getting married in October, so a 20lb loss by July would put me on a strong path to meet my goal by then. My current weight is 164, but being 5'2", you can see every lb of it.

    Hey y'all! My name is Laulea and I'm soo down to lose weight for summer! I wanna be able to rock a bikini on the beach haha. So my CW is 163lbs and I wanna be at 140lbs.

    I really want to keep myself accountable so I've made a spreadsheet for this group in case anyone else wants to track your weekly weigh-ins with me. I'm going to do my weekly weigh-ins on Mondays but you can log in yours any day of the week :) If you wanna use the spreadsheet too, you'll just need this link, no sign-in required:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ar5SiHN5nZM8dEdLUjNKSGI0RlUtenI3NzkxbHNacnc&usp=sharing

    If there's any trouble with it or you think it could use some things, please let me know!

    I'm excited! We got this, guys! :D
  • I would love to join and lose 20 for summer! It pays to be held accountable for things like this… Starting weight was 215, CW is 187 and GW is 130 and being 5'3 sure doesn't make it look evened out… kids sure pay a number on a woman's body!!

    Hi. I would like to join.:smile: 20 lbs is about what I have left to lose. I am a mom of 3. I admit I do weigh in daily but I will report here once a week so as not to drive others crazy w/ my unhealthy relationship I have with my scale. I have been at this for 90 days now and am eager to see what the next 90 days brings me. I log my food daily and my diary is open although it is a bit repetitive. My SW was 164.2 and I am currently 147-148ish. Good luck to us all!

    I'm in. I'm 5'6, turning 29 in a couple of weeks. I started at 200lbs, CW of 188.4lbs and GW of around 135lb. 20lbs by July puts me at 168 before going home to visit my hometown, so that would be awesome! Hopefully I'll be down a jean size by then too. What are your routines and have they been paying off?

    I'm trying to stay at an average 1280 calories but my logging of food and exercise are not always accurate, due to guesstimating and such. I don't cook at home, so I mainly do a granola bar for breakfast, lean cuisine for lunch and something like subway for dinner with snacks in between. Then there are days I go out to eat with friends, which is where all the guessing comes in. I try to under-eat one day if I'm going out the next day.

    I try to exercise 4 to 5 days a week. 3 days of Couch to 5k (I'm on week 5) and spinning and swimming on two other days. Again I don't know how accurate the calorie burn I log in is. I do want to start strength training but I haven't found a program I'll keep up with. I keep perusing fitness magazines but haven't found one I like yet. I have also struggled with drinking enough water. I'm just finding that very hard.

    I've lost almost 12lbs in one month this way but I know some of it is probably water weight, so I'm worried about the ability to lose 20lbs in 10 weeks.

    So enough about me, what about you guys?
  • I'm in. I struggle with consistency and am hoping a group like this will help me. I've been hovering at 201-203 for a while now and want to see me #'s under 200!
