I know I can't be the only one out here starting a new diet on a Monday...
I'm looking to lose about 25 pounds. I could use an online support group to weigh in with every Monday.
Please post your starting weight & goal weight, and we will do weigh-ins every Monday morning!

8/8 Starting weight: 169 pounds
Current weight: 169 pounds
Goal weight: 144 pounds

    Good Morning!

    I don't a weight goal as much as I have a body fat percentage goal but can I still do this with you?

    Hi Kate
    Starting Weight (this morning!) 157 pounds

    Let's go for it. Last year I lost 30lbs, got to 150lbs then have crept up again. Want to finally get to my goal weight and have started today feeling energised and ready for the challenge.

    Good Luck! :smile:

    Hi! My first group goal too, but I'm seriously off track on my own, so we'll give it a shot.
    Got a bit more than 25 to lose, but I'm doing baby steps. My next mini-goal is 25 pounds away, so I'm in!

    This sounds PERFECT! I actually just got started last week but I need to lose about 55 lbs so this will get me 1/2 way to my goal! My first group thing as well. :happy:

    My current weight is 180
    Short term goal would be 155. (loss of 25 lbs)
    Long term goal is 130.....

    I'm in!! I just weighed myself this morning and very frustrated

    starting weight 151.0
    goal is 135.0 (pre-baby weight!!!)

    My biggest challenge is eating. I workout 3-5 days a week but my challenge is eating healthy mostly on the weekends.

    Ah, the dreaded Monday morning weigh-in.. I was worried my some-what heavy dinner last night would seriously hurt me today.

    SW 169 .0
    CW 166.9

    I think it would also be good to say something you are proud about from last week and something you want to improve this week.

    1. So, I'm really proud that I lost 2.1 pounds and ran 1.5 miles on Saturday.
    2. This week I want to be better about logging my calories! I slipped towards the end of last week when I went out of town.

    well....not good.

    sw 187.8
    cw 190.0

    obviously things didn't go so well for me the first week. I did lose three pounds during the week last week, but gained it all back this weekend plus some. anyway--maybe the pain of posting this Monday mornign weight will help me do better next weekend.

    I'm so impressed with everyone's 30DS posts. I'm thinking of trying it. I have a feeling Jillian will make me cry..

    You should definitely try it! Jillian may not make you cry but she'll definitely make you sweat (and possibly shout at the TV a lot!)

    :( My weigh in on Friday was 217, but I caught a bad bug this weekend and haven't been able to do any workouts. Super bummed. Does it still count as legitimate weight gain if I'm sure those three pounds are snot? Yuck.
