I am trying to fit into my old clothes. So I am looking for ways to stay active and ways to hold myself accountable for what I eat. I'm basically trying to make a lifestyle change. let's see my go to exercises are cardio and hopefully this week I will get started with yoga.

I have 11 pounds to get back to my adult low weight, and then 3 more to get in to the 160's for the first time ever. So 14 pounds is the goal by summer...0

I'm hoping to be down 10lbs or so. Ideally I would like to be well on the way to this by my 10th anniversary trip in mid may. It's a beach vacation. I am not ready.... lol0

To everyone like me who wants to look good in something particular for summer, good luck!
Had to laugh at this only because that's exactly how I feel when I'm in shorts!LoeshaElizabeth wrote: »and not feel like a jelly baby :P
@suruda - A very realistic goal and I'm so excited to see that it's going to something as big as your first time reaching 160!!!
@catsmeow_1 - Hopefully you'll be ready by the time it comes around! If you lose 1-2lb each week, 10lb might even happen by then, so fingers crossed for you!0 -
I'm in - need to fit into my clothes again...0

Don't we all xD I refuse to buy anything bigger so I'm stuck in lounge pants and jogging bottoms - part of why I finally started mfp!0

I am ready for the challenge! I have a personal goal to be 160lbs by my birthday on August 19th so I am going to say I want my summer goal to be 10lbs! That is half way and will bring me to 1700

Brilliant! I am just about to post 1st mini challenge on the announcement board!0 -
Would like to lose 17lb in the next 11 weeks but would be happy with 12. Currently 197lb and achieving either of those would make me the lightest I've been as an adult (a bit ashamed of that).0

Don't be ashamed! Part of why I'm so anxious of the public threads is the shaming that goes on when people are new to fitness and weight loss. I had a few nasty people respond to my ignorance even though I was pretty open about calling myself dense - it nearly made me close my account on day 1! You should be proud because you are here right now putting effort into change.

@GBrady43068 Hey Greg, any idea how much you'd like to lose in the next 11 weeks? You've done fantastic losing the first 38.8lb so far!

It's really astonishing how often I see stuff like that and experience it! They all seem to gang up on people too I've noticed with lots of jeering at honest questions!0 -
Hi Everyone - just stumbled across this group - it's exactly what I need! Love the mini-challenges, I tend to 'behave' better when challenged, but committing to something for 30 consecutive days it tough, life always seems to get in the way!
While my ultimate GW is 135#, I've got (what I hope is) a short term goal of attaining 140# and maintaining for 2 weeks. Then I've promised myself all new undies, haha! I recently came down past the double digits in clothing and cleaned out my closet by about 1/3. All those empty hangers are begging to be filled, but not until I hit GW
Count me in for Challenge #2!0
