20 pounds in 5 months
I can do it! But I'd love some company, support and motivation. Who's with me!?
My goal/ideal weight is low 120s. I was doing great with MFP and got down to my goal weight. But I haven't been counting or logging or exercising enough and I'm up to 143 lbs. I'm 33 yrs old, 2 kids, and 5'2". I'm not at my heaviest, but it's definitely the heaviest I've been in the past couple of years.
I'm going on a vacation to Europe (for the first time ever!) at the end of September. That's just over 5 months away. I want to get to my goal weight of low 120s by then, and maintain that weight through the end of the year (and beyond).
Summer is just around the corner, so there's extra motivation and incentive to start sooner rather than later. No time like the present!

I live in New Zealand, we run on kilograms over here, so I had to do a bit of converting.0 -
I'm up for this I'm looking to lose a *little* more than 20lbs but will be brilliant to have the support and motivation. How often should we post about how far along we are?

Honestly, I think we should just post whenever we want. If that's once a week, great. More or less is fine too.
I've found out that with me, sometimes I'll join a challenge or a group, and if I don't follow the "rules" and forget to post for a week or two, I tend to give up and fall off the wagon completely. I think by leaving it open, it will allow for more flexibility and room to work with your schedule.0 -
