    I'm in! I'm hoping to knock 15 lbs by May 1 (or at least get close). Hoping I can do it but lately can't seem to knock the sweets and sodas. Hoping for a weekly weigh in of a small group for accountability.

    I'm in exactly the same position, would be very happy with reaching 60kg/ 133lbs but it's been hard after initially losing quite quickly. Would love to see which exercises/ food you're all working with so feel free to add me!

    Think of those cute clothes you will fit into. Buy fashion magazines instead of sweets! Go try on cute clothes that don't fit yet!

    I'm working on my last 15 too. I reached my original goal of losing 50 lbs in Nov to put me at the tip-top of the "normal" BMI range. I decided in Jan that I really would like to get down 15 more. So far, I've not been super successful. I'd love some accountability buddies. Please add me!

    I could use some accountability, too.

    I've never been overweight, so the last few years I just kept telling myself it would be okay as I slowly started to gain. Now I've gained 15 pounds and am at the top of the healthy weight limit for my height, maybe even a little over. Being short means every extra pound really shows, so I want to get as much of it gone by the end of May as I can.

    15 pounds...let's do this! :)

    Hey, if any of you would like to log your weight weekly, I set up a shared doc so we can see progress of each other throughout the weeks. Feel free to add yourself. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12AneulP8JlR-w6BNBxHm9q1ejNFNuIZNhI6KCV1NKrc/edit?usp=sharing

    BTW its only 1.5 lbs a week...that doesnt sound too bad.

    Count me in. Not sure how to edit the doc though...im using the MFP app so can't copy the link & it just opens up in the app.

    But... 16 pounds to go!
    I'm aiming to shift it by easter....

    Bgail2022, how do I log into your doc ? It's scary but definitely will keep me going knowing everyone will know if I quit.

    @jenr6482‌ youll have to copy and paste the link in a separate browser. No login required.

    Oh this is just what I need!!!! I was 5lbs away from my goal in the summer and have slowly crept back to 15 to go after a change in routine, and some lax tracking. We can do this!!!!

    I can definitely relate to this.... those pounds just sneak up on you and you think, I deserve a few extra.. next thing you know it is 20-30. friend request if you like, anybody...I am 5'4 50yr... 15 to lose.

    I have two pretty dresses hanging outside my wardrobe for some extra motivation. They *almost* fit. I've lost/ partially regained/ lost about 35-40 lbs since May but I think I've been overestimating the calorie burn from my fitness DVDs and therefore eating more than I should to get my net calories of 1200. New focus will be on eating better and not using workouts as an excuse to eat more. "Abs are made in the kitchen!" as Jillian Michaels like to shout at us ;)

    Eleanor... I've been thinking the same thing... So dropped my daily goal down a bit.

    I think it's because we're not so overweight. It's Tough to kick those last few pounds and even just a few calories over target adds weight.

    there's not much room for enjoying food. Booo
