Current Weight/Date: 131.0 - May 8, 2014 (will update tomorrow since that is my weigh in day)
Goal Weight/Date: 121 by. August 23, 2014
I am 4'10.5". My first goal weight is 121, which is the highest weight I can be at a "normal" BMI. Once I make it to 121, I will see how my body looks and feels and may try to lose a few more pounds. I have several motivations to keep me going to my goal. 1st motivation is a wedding I am going to on 5/17/14. 2nd motivation is a wedding my husband and I will both be in (we are obviously close with the bride and groom and will therefore see the pics a lot) on 8/23/14, 3rd motivation is a wedding my husband will be in on 9/26/14, and final goal is a trip to Kauai my husband and I will be taking in late November. My ultimate goal for November is to wear a bikini and feel good. We'll see. Please feel free to add me. I am on most days0 -
First post and first challenge! I turn 30 in August (and it's obviously important to look hotter in my 30's than 20's) and am going to Kauai for 10 days in October for my anniversary. My goal is to get in shape, feel healthy and look hot in a bikini. I'm not as concerned about the number on the scale, but my approximate goal is 15 lbs.

Almost 70 people have posted and joined this challenge/discussion. I know we all have our own personal goals within this challenge and beyond. The weight loss goals in this group range from 10 - 25 pounds. And our "deadlines" range from as early as June and as late as November. Most of us are in the 20 Pounds in 5 Months group.
If we all lost 20 pounds, that'd be almost 1500 pounds combined!! Amazing!
How's everyone doing so far? Off to a good start? I know I am!! First two days were really great, and below my calorie intake goal. Today I will probably go over, but I've planned accordingly and will workout at the gym extra this weekend to try to make up for it.
Remember, you can weigh in and post as often as you like. Try to at least check in once a week. I'm keeping track of everyone's progress, and if it's ok with you, I'd like to post the top "losers" from time to time.0 -

I have 20 lbs to go to reach my goal of 140.00 I was actually giving myself until August 2nd since that will be exactly 2 years.
It really seems like the last 20ish lbs are the hardest does anyone agree?
Any tips to get out of a plateau?

Well done Sasha!
My Friday update:
SW1: 234 (early 2013)
SW2: 200 lbs (May 7 2014)
CW: 196 lbs (May 92014)
GW: 180 lbs
Yeah the progress is crazy. I must say that my SW2 (the starting weight of this challenge) was a spike in my weight - it just happened to be my weight on the day this challenge started. So I lost that extra weight and a bit more. Next week I hope to be below 195!
If I get below 190 I will be lighter than in over 5 years. Something to look forward to! Oh and I am getting loads of compliments from people that I am in such good shape! Great to hear!
Hope it goes well with you all too!0 -
Heck, I'll do it too!! It'll get me close to ultimate goal!

I had eaten quite a bit beef jerky so I'm assuming there was a lot of water retention because of the sodium. None the less I'm very happy! This is the lowest I've been since before I became pregnant with my second son (July 2012)! Only 10 more pounds until I reach my pre-pregnancy weight0 -
I'm totally joining you all if that's ok...my 33rd bday is Sep 6th and Id love to be 20 pounds lighter around then!!!

I'm in! I have quite a bit more than 20 lbs to lose but I'd like this to help jump start! I got married last summer and lost 25-30 before our wedding. At my heaviest I was 196 pounds. Currently I'm at 185 and on my wedding day I was around 169-170. I am not happy at my weight gain following our wedding but I am desperate to get this weight off (again ) and continue my weight loss. I am 5'2 and I am quite unhealthy at my weight. I need a lot of support. Please and thank you!

This is perfect timing! My birthday is September 16 so I would love to have lost 20 lbs by then!
