    If it's 2 lbs per week times roughly 7 weeks, I hope to be down to 200 by July. :)

    hi everyone my name is jake and i am new to the board, i have put on a few lbs over the long winter( more than i would have guessed) but i have made up my mind and its time for a change both physically and mentally and i figured the best way to achive both is with a diet and exercise reboot. If anyone out there could help point me in the right direction, i have gym and exercise experience what i lack is food and nutritional help along with any supplements i might consider trying that would be condusive to my weight loss goal for the summer.

    starting weight 221
    desired weight 205

    by july 15th

    Hi, I am down a kilo - however I have to say my weight seems to fluctuate by that pretty easily so i guess it's if it keeps going down. I feel like my scales a glued to the same spot. My starting weight was 97.5k and today 96.6... I am 175cm the good news is that drop of a kilo brings me down a. BMi point to 31... Only two to go until I get back into overweight! Finding it really hard to stay motivated.

    Congratulations Spillano and Shihpoonut on your week 1 losses!

    I've stayed the same - nothing for the leaderboard Spillano I'm afraid.

    But I won't be put off, I had three days working away this week, and forgot my gym stuff (well I took my trainers and nothing else!). So I did plenty of walking but it's not enough. Anyway, back home now so I've got some catching up to do this week!

    Good luck to everyone else.

    I have been exercising and watching my calorie intake, so far. My main problem right now is I eat really healthy all day long and then by/just after dinner I want chocolate and junk food. Any ideas on how to keep these cravings away?

    Hi urdollface ... What I've been doing is having a bowl of cereal with milk; if I feel particular bad, a teaspoon of peanut butter. ... but then again I'm only 3 days in ... so the cravings not hit yet. I think the best thing though is to focus on a slimmer you, then go look in the mirror, which is actually what I did yesterday, cruel and tough though.

    It's a tough battle. Let's just think how great it will be when we make it through!

    Hello everyone! I'm checking in! Today was my weight/measure day...

    Also, I am 5'4"

    For inches total I've lost 4'5" off my waist!
    This was a slow week for weight loss, I didn't hit the goal I set, but now I'm thinking I set my goals a little too steep.. so I'm taking away the week by week on here. I'll just lose and work to get to the 140 by 50 days.

    I walked for an hour - 2 miles - with my hubby and our grandpuppy then dropped them at the house and continued by myself for another hour - 4 miles - this morning before it got really hot. We walk around the playground and the sports field at the grammar school down the street. They had their giant sprinklers going at 8:30 this morning and we were all running through them and having a great time! It's so much fun to walk with the pup!

    Hope everyone has a great Monday.

    Day 9, back from long beach weekend. Didn't do too bad with eating...definitely ate more at each meal than I would normally, but no snacking in between meals, which is part of my normal habit. All in all, I could have been more disciplined, but I did a good job with no completely going overboard. This week, back to low-carbing it...overall, feeling more like myself, not controlled by cravings.

    Hi all, I've not checked in for a couple of days as I've been incredibly busy at work. The good news is that I've managed to hit my exercise and calorie goals even though I've been carrying a hip injury for about three weeks so can't really run. So I've upped my bike riding and swimming, as well as throwing in a couple of gym sessions, and that seems to be doing the trick. I'm looking forward to my weigh in at the weekend as I need to start shifting these pounds for this challenge.

    Hope everyone else is doing OK out there.

    Day 13 for me today: yesterday didn't end up too great, as I left it too late to eat when I got home so I ate stuff as I got my meal ready. But I didn't completely crash and burn so I'm hanging onto that.

    I went to see my personal trainer today, it was a pretty brutal session before work - and I'm not too great in the mornings. But it's done now; and if I can get out of work on time, I'm going to try and fit in a spin class on the way home (to make up for yesterday's failings).

    This is the point that I usually bale out of this sort of thing, so I'm committing to keep on posting till I get to the end of the 50 days. So it's good to hear how everyone else is doing.

    Cheers all.
