Hello!!! My name is Lauren. I'm 24 years old and losing weight was the first girl that I've ever set for myself and still have not been able to do it. July is my birthday but I would love to see if I could even lose something before then and I think 30 pounds is a nice start. I would love to see the recipes and support that you guys come up with. COUNT ME IN!!

    30lbs would be great as it would put me back in the 100's. ive already lost 14 lbs but loosing 28 more would put me back in the 100's.

    Nicely done!! Let's do it! 14 lbs is so great. I am looking forward to how it will feel after 14 lbs total loss. But definitely going for that full 38! Worked out 5 days in a row this week and stuck to my calorie goals. Last two days I haven't lost anything but I'm not going to let it discourage me. 2 lbs a week is my goal.

    I want in! I would love to lose 30 pounds by July 7th (my daughters 2nd birthday)! I started back serious again last week and so far I've lost 5 pounds. I recently quit working at a job I had for 10 years sitting at a desk all day to be a stay at home mom. Since then I haven't stayed still between keeping up with my toddler and my 10 year old son. I'm taking this time to take care of myself so I can be around to see my kids grow up. The motivation would be perfect!

    How's everyone doing? I gained 1 pound over the weekend. Oops. But still had almost 4 lbs lost for the week which is great. Do you all weigh in daily or weekly?
  • aganey

    I like to weigh daily. I find that keeps me on track better than weekly. I log it on mfp anytime there's a change in my whole number (like 186.8 to 185.9) not if it's just changing from 186.8 to 186.4 for example. Seeing my weight change often helps me stay motivated bc I actually see the numbers changing. I started exercising yesterday. I walked up and down my street for 40 min in the morning pushing my 20 month old on her tricycle and again for another 40 min after dinner with the whole family. Today I'm doing a lower body workout plan I got from a video clip on bodybuilders.com. They have a lot of workout plans that target any area you want to work on.

    That's great! I agree that just getting in the 100s would be FABULOUS! Haven't seen that in probably... 8 or 9 years, at least. Yeesh.

    I like to weigh in daily too. Even if it's a few ounces lost it motivates me to keep going.

    Here's an update..
    Starting weight: 168
    Goal weight: 130
    Current weight: 162
    Total loss: 6 lbs

    How's everyone doing!? We got this!

    Still going! Lost my first 5 pounds of essentially water weight, but I'm counting it! Lol. Trying to add back in a few calories because several days I was dangerously low and had to add another snack at the end of the day to make up for it. I'm kinda an all or nothing gal and tend to go too far which is unhealthy also. Working on finding my happy medium!
    Let's go everyone! We've got this!!! Time to kick butt!

    I haven't lost weight yet, but I did 60 mins of bodyweight exercises today and have cardio on deck for tomorrow. I weigh weekly, so I'm hopeful the scale will start to move soon!

    I'd love to lose 30 pounds by August! I just had a baby and unfortunately none of the weight left with the baby... lol. I'm down 7.5 lbs so far but my goal is eventually to lose 60 lbs.

    I used to be a personal trainer so if anyone has any questions or needs advice, I'd love to help!

    I'm looking for some motivation sooo joining a challenge seems ideal! :)

    Yesterday was not my best. I was so sore from the lower body workout I did that I didn't do any walking or exercises. I did try to at least stay mobile by going to the store, some light house cleaning and throwing the football with my son. I try to only do one cheat "meal" each week, not a whole cheat day. So I chose homemade hamburgers, fried zuchinni and baked beans courtesy of my parents who invited us over because a big juicy burger just sounded a heck of a lot better than the pork tenderloin leftovers I had at home. Also my cravings were extremely bad all day and I stayed hungrier than usual because I didn't keep my protein up. Mexican food is my weakness and I wanted it so bad. So to trick myself so to speak, I had hummus and wheat thins and closed my eyes and imagined it being chips and salsa. News flash, closing your eyes still does NOT make wheat thins and hummus taste like chips and salsa...who knew?! But it did help curve my appetite for a bit.

    All that said, today is a new day and I already prelogged all my meals and my macros are kicking butt. I plan on taking a walk pushing my toddler to help loosen up these still insanely sore legs of mine. I hope everyone is still on track!! We can do this ladies!!!! Also I'm going to post a motivational quote each day. Feel free to share some of your favorite motivators and quotes as well!

    I would love to join this challenge. I have always wanted to lose the weight but just never stuck to anything. Losing 30lbs would make a huge difference!
    SW: 179

    I'm hoping this challenge will push me in the right direction. We can so do this! :)

    Hi I'm in with a bit of a twist. My birthday is July 5th but I really don't need to lose 30 lbs. 25ish would do it. Would be wonderful to finally be off this weight loss roller coaster. So if you'll have me my stats are:

    SW (for this challenge): 174.25
    GW for July 5th: 149.75

    My weigh-in day is Friday. I don't really expect to have a loss tomorrow as we've been on a bit of a vacation for the last little bit. I would be very happy with a SS (stay the same) tomorrow. We'll see.

    Thanks and good luck to us all.

    Inspirational quote for the day, "You can't leave footprints in the sands of time if you sit on your butt, and who wants to leave butt prints in the sands of time?" This is what I'm going to say to myself the next time my butt hits the couch before working out.

    Here's to breaking 170 in the very near future.
