    I want to lose 13lbs by August so if I could lose 10 by July I'd be in track!

    When do start?
    I'm logging my food with myfitnesspal and exercising 5 times a week on an average week.

    I'm in. I'd really like to lose 10lbs or more by July 8th. My sons second birthday. My pregnancy with him is why I gained 87lbs. I gained 80-90 lbs with each baby, but usually lose it within a year to 18months. But then my thirties happend... And now I've only managed to lose 50lbs since his birth. I keep gaining and losing the same 10lbs. So I want that 10 gone so I can start on the last 20 or so that's hanging on and making me miserable

    Hi guys, I'm not sure what happened with @mhairipattonbeauty but I'm really eager to start this challenge so what do you say we start tomorrow (Monday)?

    So I've done a challenge where we weighed ourselves each week the first thing in the morning and also kept measurements of our hips, waist and breast areas so that we also saw that progress those weeks we didn't see the scales change which would usually be discouraging, this helped.

    We also kept track of our food, never going over our agreed calories

    And finally sticking to a workout 6 times per week even if it's just 30 minutes.

    Any other ideas?

    Great idea, I'll start this today. Got 8 weeks till my holiday and have gone right off track with my diet and fitness. 10lb would be a fantastic loss for the summer . Good luck everyone. I weighed in this morning and I am NOT smiling x

    Also got 10lbs ish (give or take) to lose before the July. Reintroducing 45mins on my rest days is no fun. Be great to support each other.

    Has it been just talks or has anyone started walking the talk?

    I have been working on keeping my daily calories under 1500 (preferably around 1200). Although I must say I lack in my daily target of proteins.

    I follow a cardio week with a little of free-body exercises. A day includes 20-25 minutes of cross trainer mode on elliptical trainer machine, 15x2 pushups, 10x2 burpies, 35x2 crunches, 15x2 side crunches, 15x2 squats... and a little time pass exercise here and there, and ending with 5 minutes stretching.
    That takes me well above 350 calories burnt in a 1 hour routine.

    As far as diet goes,
    * a 400ml glass full of room temperature water as soon as I wake up.
    * 10AM Breakfast: 2 indian plain parantha and 1 cup no sugar milk. (Starting from today, I'm gonna remove the parantha and add 50-75g Muesli) :wink:
    * 1PM lunch: 2 indian chapatti, 1 cup lentil soup, a handful quantity of salad (mostly onions or cucumber), followed by a cup of ginger/cardamom tea (water:milk = 1:1)
    * evening snacks: 2/3 eggs (throw away the yolk of 2 eggs), maybe a glass of lemon juice/soda)
    * 1 hour of gym session, Steam bath, water bath.
    * Dinner: 2 indian chapatti, 1 cup lentil soup, handful of salad (cucumber/onions/beetroot etc)
    * daily water consumption: 3+ litres
    * What else, maybe a little bit here and there, maybe a small cube of chocolate occasionally, or a slice of pizza once in 2-3 weeks etc. ( Hey, that much of a cheat is allowed!!) :smiley:

    That's usually monday to Friday.... Saturday and Sunday I'm a sloth!!
    I measure this diet and I see myself loosing 1 kg each week, and then the Saturday and Sunday come and put everything to waste! :disappointed:

    I just turned 60 so where fitness is concerned, it's use it or lose it. For pounds, it's just lose it. I've been jogging regularly for months and try to keep my net calories around 1200-1300. Oh, and I live in the Arctic.

    Keeping fit is a struggle, so let's share it. Maybe somebody will find it useful to be able to think: "If that old lady can do a 5 k when it's 15 below freezing, I can get out too!"
