Hi everybody!

My goal is to loose 10 centimeters around my waist this autumn. I do though have a little problem, my motivation goes up and down especially now when none of my friends now about my goal. It is so easy to fall back a few days, eat too much and then come back to my fitnesspal, count calories, eat good and then back in this evil circle.

So.....

GOAL:
Log in at my fitnesspal everyday and stay under your calorie goal.
Exercise 3 times a week (a walk or whatever)
And the last thing; Encourage everybody at this topic that will join us! Tell us about yor success and give other motivation during the time.

I thought that we could start from sunday the 28 th of august til friday the 30 th of september just to see how it will work out :)

Are YOU in????!

    I'm in, I have a really spotty attendance record around here and the bad habit of over indulging in my favorite foods, i.e. japanese, steaks, and pastas, and then binging on salads for a few days and around it goes.

    Is this going to be an open or closed group? I love the challenge that I am doing now, it has helped me get a lot of new friends. But because the group is so large I find that is not as personable as I would have liked it.

    I've never taken part in a group before... Can someone tell me what is expected? Do you post in a group thread every day or week? Do you just post when you achieve the weekly goal, or at any time?

    I'n with you. I am going to get every every morning and walk the German Shorthaird dog named Clash around town for for exercise. He's high energy and could use the exercise and attention. Me too, LOL. I've been very faithful about following my plant based diet for a few months. I can't see any real change in how my clothes fit. So I got a scale in which to weigh weekly and I am going to post daily. Exercise has got to help right and plus knowing y'all are out there with me.

    Neither I have joined a grouo before, but I guess you just try to follow the goals and share your thoughts and success with us during the time. :)

    Haha, nice! Yes exercise is often a very big part of the weight loss. Plus it gives you a helatheir body from the inside and out!

    Have a lovely day all of you guys and I'll write you all tomorrow when we all start this together!

    Good morning, just finished mowing the lawn. I think boys make a big deal out of it for props and sympathy points....It's really not that bad (and you get to burn off your backside a little). I like to leave the forward autodrive off so that it works my arms more and I have to work harder for it.

    I was thinking about the open/closed group point and was thinking that maybe we should consider closing it after a week, otherwise someone could join in the 3rd week (which doesn't benefit anyone really).

    Thoughts?

    I'm in! I have an 8 week old daughter and have been putting off starting to lose the leftover baby weight with breastfeeding as my excuse. Didn't want to do anything but worry about production. Now that things seem to be running smoothly, I need to kick my butt into gear. What a terrible day to start. We had Sonic for lunch! I guess if I'm serious about this I will still stay under my calorie goal for today anyway. I better exercise to get some extra calories!

    @Brittonymiller- awesome! Do they have any healthy (or healthier) options at Sonic?

    I'm sure they do, but I definitely didn't get it :tongue: . If I had known I was going to start counting again today I would never have gone. Haha. We are having a healthy dinner tonight, though, so I'm hoping to still make it under calories. Great job on the mowing by the way! I do some of the yard every once in awhile and think the men do tend to over exaggerate.

    Nice! :)

    About your thought: Ye okey, just a question.. hehe... how do I do?

    First day has gone very well. I visited a friend today and we went for a 6 mile walk around a country park. This is a much longer walk than i usually do, but I felt fine if a little stiff later on. Even with having sunday dinner at my mother's, I have managed to stay under my calories today. Hopefully I can keep this up!

    Edited to add:
    My start weight is 9 stone 9.5lbs, I have lost 10.5 lbs since starting this site, and my waist currently measures 29.5 inches (it is all about those 0.5's). I am 5'4" tall.

    I'd be happy just to lose one inch off my waist, and delighted to lose two inches. I currently exercise very little, so I would love to keep the exercise up at least three times a week.

    It is confirmed, our puppy will eat absolutely anything....just dropped a big piece of raw brocolli on the floor. Gone. Bleh! (-:

    On a positive note, on track to meet the calories for the day (once you consider the mowing earlier)....
