9 Pounds in 9 Weeks: Starts Sunday, Sept. 11th
Replies

I'd like to lose 9 pounds or 2" from my waist by November 11th by giving up carbs after 3 pm daily, exercising 5 times a week, and limiting myself to one glass of wine a night. My 46th birthday is Nov. 14th and I'm tired of saying I will lose this extra weight someday. If you'd like to join me for the next nine weeks, just share your goal and what you will do to achieve it and we can support eacother!

I'm in!!! I Lost 70 pounds in 2011-2012 for my big 4-0 (from 211 lbs down to 141 lbs). I have been up and down since then. Right now at 170 and I'm feel horrible!! Trying to hit 140 lbs by February. The 9 pounds in 9 weeks sounds like an awesome start! Let's do this!
Your story sounds a lot like mine. I lost 50 pounds and kept it off for 2 years, did a half marathon last year... Then all balance went out the window when I got promoted at work. The stress of the new position + a lot of work travel just threw me off my game. 143 was my sweet spot (hence my username) but I would be happy with 150. I am at 170 now, and I am mad at myself for losing control. No more tearing myself up, though. Time to just get it done!!
It's funny because I read your initial post and thought "hey, that sounds just like me!" It's hard when life gets in the way. So hard to stay on track when things get busy. I'm also a "Shredder" - On day 6 of Level 2. I've done it a few times before and it really works! And seriously, your weight issue is spot on with mine! I hit 141 the morning of my 40th birthday. And then never saw it again. 150 was pretty "comfortable." 170 just makes me feel terrible. It will be nice to cheer each other on!2 -

Thank you, beckih!
I started jogging when I was 43, did the couch to 5K. I love the Jillian workouts! A big reason for my weight loss had to do with support and accountability from friends, both online and IRL. So I am hoping we can all cheer each other on, too.

I weighed myself a little early this week because I am getting ready to travel on a business trip and won't have access to a scale again until next Monday am. Here are my stats:
9/11: 171.2
9/17: 168.7
I am very happy with this! I am sitting in the airport, surrounded by delicious food, and managed to get myself a greek yogurt sprinkled with granola and walnuts for breakfast. One thing I take advantage of when I am traveling is running on the treadmill in the hotel gym, since I don't have one, and I don't belong to a gym. Looking forward to another successful week!4 -

I'm not having much success with my weight loss. ..I'm very happy and inspired by all you guys that are loosing.......thanks for the add...2 -
I am starting at 160 this morning and have lost 15 lbs so far (which is quite a lot since beginning of August) I am doing Calories In less than calories out using MFP guidelines at 1lb loss per week and doing a lot of cardio and eating back most of my exercise points. ( I use a fitbit surge) I eat mostly clean foods and use volume to feel full... lots of cabbage and spinach and spaghetti squash. I don't drink soda or alcohol. I don't eat bread, pasta, or other simple carbs.
My guilty pleasure is a granola bar as an evening snack if I have the calories.
Please try to add me as a friend, I have a hard time adding folks.
Hi....how do live without carbs?and what fills you up?.....just wondering. .thank you. .3 -

Glad to see people's successes! I lost my pound this week and tried a new yoga burn class. We had family visiting and lots of food and celebration, but I planned ahead and did pretty well avoiding too many bad decisions. So far, so good!1

Can I join too? Im a week late but have logged a 2.2 loss this last week! I just started my second week of C25k today.
I've had a rough 6 months or so but am trying to focus on me again and getting life back in order!

Kind of reluctantly posting it today. I did meet my dietary goals. I wasn't under my calories at all. I didn't even get 10K steps on my pedometer. So I have no idea how the scale had that quick drop of almost 1.5 pounds overnight. Has to be water weight. Maybe from less sodium? Hmmm.....1 -

Almost 1lb. Have not been great though this week with food. It's weekends that get me as we tend to relax a bit too much on what we eat/drink. Next weekend is a birthday double with my fiancé turning 30 on Friday and my 31st on Monday. After that we have agreed to refocus at weekends!1 -

I feel more motivated and accountable being part of this group. I am usually good at fitting in some exercise during week and have tried Tone it Up last week. It was good and very challenging.3 -
This is a great idea...seeing all you lovelies who have lost more than the 1 pound this week has given me a kick to try a bit harder this week!!3
