Hey ladies! Have a great day! Make healthy choices and stay positive. I know it is hard, but i know i feel better after seeing so many of you in the same boat as me and it makes me feel like i am not alone. Keep up the hard work.
Tip for drinking more water: carry a bottle around all day. It's easier if the bottle has a straw. I know it's tough, especially when that "i gotta go feeling" kicks in and you're at work with no break in sight (i work on an ambulance so i go when i can, incase we get a call).
We can do this!
You're so positive! I'm also trying to increase my water intake. Based on the new water recommendations, I'm supposed to drink 11 cups every day. I can't even get to 8! My problem is that I've been dehydrated for so many years that I'm used to it and I'm never thirsty anymore. I'm slowly improving, and I'm starting to feel thirsty when I go without water for a while.0 -
I am in, I am at 153 and my GW is 135-140. I have been stuck at 152ish for a while now and need a challenge to help me get past this hump.0

I have very recently decided to give up alcohol in order to loose 10 pounds. So I am in for loosing 10 pounds by Patrick's day.0

I know the feeling about the water, like i said, it is easier to carry a bottle with you because you are reminded to drink just by staring at it lol. There is an app called water your body which basically takes your weight and divide it in half and thats how many oz you should drink...it's tough in the winter when it's cold lol. The app also reminds you to drink water.0

I am terrible at the water. My one secret is that when I (remember to) take a drink of water, I take a BIG drink. In for a sip, in for a cup! so much easier that way. I would like do the lose 10 by St. Patty's Day! I am doing a 5 K a few days before, and really would like to carry 10 pounds less through the race!0

I'm joining in for the Lose 10 by St Patrick's Day! I am 5'7", CW 146, goal weight 130. I got off track this week due to some boredom eating while home with the flu, so I'm ready to get back in gear and get these last pounds off.0

I try to drink a big cup of water first thing in the morning, that helps, before anything. I also drink a lot of caffeine free tea at work.0

Ok. I'm in. I think I can do it.0

I turn 50 in May. It is getting tougher to lose. I am 5'3" and 133#. Would really like to get down to 213 by St pats day. The first 5 were easier to lose! Friend me if you are in this tough boat with me. We can inspire each other.0

I would like to join you all. I have about 10-15lbs to lose. Been fluctuating around the same weight for too long!0

I'm in too! 5'2", around 125 lbs, GW 115. What's everyone's plan? I'm thinking weights (bodypump/free weights) 2-3x per week, running or cycling 1-2x a week, soccer 1x a week and yoga thrown in there.0

Count me in! I have gained a few inches and refuse to step on the scale. I'm probably around 120ish and 5"1. Glad I ran into this post because I need some motivation! Good luck everyone!0

Hi all. I'm in! I'm 46 and 5'3" and CW 150lbs. Live in NZ I've put on 10lbs over the summer holidays after losing 20lbs before
Tired of getting close to goal and then putting half back on. Harder to lose the older I get so this time I'm determined - and 10lbs by St Pats is a great start. Joined the gym and MFP today!! 0 -
Awesome. I love the motivation. It's great to see so many committed!0

Finally stepped on the scale this morning.
CW 120.4
GW 1100 -
OK, I'll give it a try, though it might be tight. I have a race this Saturday and don't eat at a deficit for a couple of days before a race because I want to perform well.
5'8"
159.4 this morning
Let's see if I can get under 150 by 3/17.0
