    Who is the owner of this post so we know the rules?
    As of today, 4/10 there is 12-weeks 'til July 3, 2018. T
    To lose 20lbs by then, that's about 1.66lbs/week.
    Suggested Weigh in: Tuesday

    Thoughts?

    Perhaps a new thread going?

    I weighed in today!

    20 by mid-July is exactly where I want to be headed....

    I am IN and new here. My niece is having a large wedding July 27th, so I need to lose 30 by then (currently weigh 155). I just started on here 3 days ago, haven't even introduced myself yet or added photo. Anyway, would love to join this. kiki

    Maybe we have 2 groups of people that post on sundays and the other on tuesdays?

    So this week I am focusing on the basics— just logging everything I eat so I’m more aware. I’m trying to find good snack choices that are satisfying so I don’t fall off the wagon AGAIN. Some things that are working for me just to share....
    Fat free cottage cheese
    Light English muffin (100 cal) with 1 serving peanut butter
    Premier protein shakes in chocolate(taste good and can be used to replace either breakfast or lunch)
    And rotisserie chicken from Costco has been a savior for meal planning and low calorie dinners (fajitas, stir fry, mini pizzas, low cal enchiladas).

    I can’t just eat fruits and veggies all day or I will quit and go right back to where I was....

    21 days to create a habit..... WE GOT THIS!!!

    I’m in! I have a 5 month old baby girl and after I had her I lost all the weight while breastfeeding. I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Shortly before I stopped nursing I gained 10 lbs and I just feel lost sometimes. I need to surround myself by people who are motivated to start to feel my motivation back again.!!

    First weigh in!
    Starting wt: 153.2
    Today : 150.7
    Wasn’t successful for the last part of the week so I’m happy I still lost! I didn’t track my food sat or Sunday and know I ate over my allowed calories yesterday —- oh well, it’s a new week! No giving up everyone!
    This week my goal is to track food everyday and start using my Fitbit!
    My youngest sons 1st bday party is this Saturday so I know I’m doomed because of a taco bar and cake and ice cream—- guess I need to learn self control and portion control!
    Can’t wait to hear how everyone did this week!

    Small changes!!! Don't beat yourself up and just try to do one good thing... log, don't drink pop, whatever it is. Just have one small victory and celebrate. Then, try to add another small victory tomorrow.
