I'm actually 23lbs from goal weight. (cw:168 gw:145) I'm hoping by being in this group I get one step closer to my goal.
I plan to weigh on Thursday 1/14...fingers crossed0 -
I've got 10 pounds (cw: 181) to get to the range I feel best in (gw: 170), and even then I know I'll lose more with proper diet and exercise. These pounds are the WORST!
I'm new, so some background: 31; from NJ; not married, no kids.2 -
I am in! I have about 15 to loose and need help sticking with it and staying motivated!0

I've lost 20 lbs and have 20 left to go before I reach my goal weight of 120! At 5"4 and 140 lbs I'm on the higher side of healthy BMI and still have a fair bit of fat around my tummy, but the motivation has definitely waned now that I'm not disgusted when I look in the mirror. I need to remember that I shouldn't settle for looking just ok when I'd look great 20 lbs lighter, but it's not quite enough to keep me motivated...1

I cheated a bit....I weighed myself this morning. Although its 2 days early I guess I wanted to see if I was on track. I have two more days until I officially weigh but I was happy this morning!0 -

I'm less than 20lbs away from my ideal weight. I'm starting c25k tomorrow anybody wants to join me?
c25k was life changing for me! I struggled through the c25k program last spring and now I can run 5 miles straight. Never thought I'd be able to say that! What's more, I actually enjoy running now!0 -

That was a thought for me ProfDawnLee but the class they offer at the local gym is at 5:30 and my husband leaves for work at 5:45.
Have you tried any at-home workouts? Like Piyo or other beachbody workouts?
I'm with you. My baby is 6mos and now I'm trying to lose the baby weight (20-25lbs). I have also just stopped breastfeeding in the last couple weeks. Working FT with 2 kids it is so hard to fit working out into my day. After my first I did Beachbody's Insanity workouts. They were HARD but made a huge difference. I also bought PiYo right before I got pregnant and then didn't stick with it. I'm just starting to workout again but am hoping to add some of that into my routine. I am signed up to run a 1/2 marathon in June so I need to get my butt off the couch.
It is so hard but I know I need to do it for myself and my kids. I found out about Sparkpeople.com and they have a similar set up to this app but they have free workouts. I am currently doing the 28-day challenge and I can stream all the videos through Youtube on my smart TV. It is super convenient and each day is different so I don't get bored. The longest workout is 25 minutes. On the days I don't hit 25 minutes I add in some light weights, planks and squats.0 -

New to the group. Lost 95 pounds about 4-5 years ago and have picked up 25 pounds in the last 2.5 years thanks to a job change and my relationship - love my job and my boyfriend but they've both been hell on the gym schedule I had. I refuse to go back to 215.
I've lost 5 and 20 more to go before I'm back at the weight I was when I met my boyfriend.0 -
Today I stepped on the scale and had not lost any (my weigh in day isn't until sunday) I have a problem of stepping on the scale too often and then if the results are undesirable, wanting to eat a bunch of crap (today the incredi-urge was gas station pizza...it's bad guys). Somewhere along the ride to the gas station though, I realized that I was just reacting to be disappointed and that this pattern of disappointment followed by eating crap is what is keeping me from reaching my goal. OK, so I know the pattern, and admit that it's a problem...and that's the first step. I think the second step will be moving the scale to the basement so I'm not tempted to weigh myself so often.
Does anyone else here have that problem, and if so do you have any solutions? I don't want to be obsessive about the scale, esp not that I realize this unhelpful series of events overweighing is a part of.0 -
I've already lost 45lbs and I'm currently at 147lbs, Id like to lose about 20 more. I feel like I've just been in the 140's for awhile now, ready to lose these last few pounds.0

Dang it! I was at goal weight 2 years ago (aaahhhh).
WTF did I do to myself????!!! 
This is the absolute last time!!!! 0 -
Hi ladies! at 139lb I have 14lbs to go to get to my goal weight. As an emotional eater in a frustrating place in my life, it's been rough. I've put on 10lb over the last 2 months from moderate binging. *sigh* 3lbs lost already this month, I'm going to keep kicking butt!0
