I need motivation to help me lose 10-14lb over the next 3/4 months.

Any ladies out there with similar goals I would love to hear from you.

I am 5ft 4 from the UK and lead an active lifestyle- I used to party every weekend but I have now tamed myself into getting healthy and exercising instead. I splashed out on an expensive gym membership to motivate myself and so far it seems to be working. I don't smoke although I used to when I was younger- I do like a glass of wine or two though. :)

I am 32, married with no kids (yet!) and aside from exercise I love cats and dance music (especially the 90s).

Pls feel free to add me!

    Hi hun, im from UK. Had 13lb to loose and got 8 to go. I used to party lots and gave up drinking almost 2 years ago and like yourself, joined a gym. I did get to my goal weight last May when i got married then over the winter i put a stone back on and my clothes are struggling to fasten again so i joined here 3 weeks ago. Its an excellent site for keeping track on everything. so its a big welcome from me in sunny Newcastle lol :smile:

    Hi there...I'm from Cheshire and currently have 11lbs to go from 32lb... I'm a bride-to-be, getting married in october, cant wait but I'm desparate to loose this weight, may even go for a further 10lb if I get to 148lb earlier than end of summer! I work in Accounts.. two boys, dont plan for anymore but I'm young so you never know...! I used to party hard but since having the boys quite close together, I settle for a meal out with my man and a few drinks after because a) Babysitter gets paid by the hour! b) I'm usually shattered c) we are saving for the wedding! I quit smoking over a year ago and all last year I piled the weight on (I was 9st 7lbs) at christmas I weighed myself and I was just under 13stone!! Believe me, I cried a river!!! Im 11 stone 5lb now, I'd be happy at 10st 7 by summer but if I got there early, I'd go for 10st... I'm a little taller than you at 5ft6" sooooo... feel free to add me xxSarahxx

    We sound like we have pretty similar goals (almost identical SW and GW too) and lifestyles, so I'll add! I'm 5'3ish with about 10-15 pounds to lose, depending. I'm currently trading in other things for this fitness obsession. Although I can't let my red wine go completely. I'm 28, married, with no kids as well. And I'm a huge huge cat person. Let's definitely motivate each other!

    I had 12 pounds to loose - I have 3 left (well 3 on Friday, but weekend + wine so maybe more than that to go now) and I could use a few friends on here that I know drink on occasion. I used to drink all the time - not hard stuff just wine, and since I cut back to only weekends (plus upped my workouts and logged EVERYTHING even when I'm bad) then the weight has started to drop off. But I have more to go even after that. Looking to have some defined abs. and thats not going to come as easily for me, so I should be on here for a while yet. Hopefully for life so I never go back the way I was. No kids for me - no thank you. I'll be 37 this year - happily married for going on 7 years. I'm 5'6 - goal weight is 128-130 depending on how I feel when I get there and look in the mirror! We have a dog, a boxer and he is the light of our life, but no we don't dress him in costumes or anything its not like that!!! I'm in California. I hate it here, but the weather is great for working out on a yearround basis so I'm trying to take advantage of that. Oh and I quit smoking 8ish years ago - (best descision of my life besided marrying my husband!) but I don't think thats what made me gain the weight. It came from being married and drinking too much wine and beer...and then I get hungry. for bad things. Its a vicious cycle that I am working on breaking!

    First off.. I'm new here.. So here it goes!
    You sound very similar to me. I have so far lost almost 40 pounds, and now am down to the last 8 pounds or so (am 5'7 and want to get down to 145). I'm now to the point where I count every single calorie in and burned. Its a hard task! I've been doing it for a week and have already lost a little over 2 pounds. I think that knowing I need to write down what I eat discourages me from eating as much bad stuff. But I will say, I'd still rather work out an extra ten minutes so I can eat an ice cream bar haha!

    Hi there

    Been at it 5 days now and doing alright. I have to lose about 10 to 14 aswell, I am 5 3 and 154lbs, age 38 - goal is 10 st.

    I am originally from Scotland but now live in NZ.

    Plan this week is to get some exercise.

    Good luck to all.
  • hi there

    am also in the UK (London) but am from Australia. Only a few pounds left to go but can always use the support and encouragement

    Achilles Heels:
    1. Setting too-strict rules for myself and then spiralling into over-eating when I break them
    2. Alcohol
    3. Be mindful of what I am eating once I have had a drink

    I'm 38, 5'10", weigh 132lbs. Happily married, 3 kids, aged 4, 3 and 20 months.

    Hope we can all help each other along!

    I have about 18 lbs to go (my stretch goal) but would consider myself successful if I lost 10-15 lbs. I think my working out is adding muscle tone so the whole "target weight" thing is hard to gauge. Put it this way: if I can fit into my sexy leather pants one day then I will have reached my overall goal no matter how much I weigh!
