Losing the last 15-20 lbs?

My name is Sarah and I am struggling to reach the 135lb goal. I am currently at 143lbs and I weigh in every Monday. I had my son 8 months ago and I am trying to get down. After I reach my 135 goal my next goal is to drop to 125lbs. I work out every day and make healthy decisions but sometimes I get that craving as if I was still pregnant...lol.

Thanks for the Thanksgiving tips! I always say try to load up on veggies and have less stuff like mac & cheese or mashed potatoes. If my Mom takes care of Thanksgiving, she is a very healthy person so I know she will cook diet-friendly things. But, if there are green things on a buffet line at other family gatherings, I try to load up on that (brussel sprouts, broccoli, green bean casserole, even though that has some creamy stuff in it). And I try to stick with drinking lots of water that day.

Getting a little walk in with family and friends can be lots of fun, and don't feel like you have to deny yourself dessert or an indulgent dish. Just indulge in moderation!

I'd like to get in!
I'm sitting at 160 and can't break through to the 150's... I've plateaued after dropping 15 no problem. This might help kick start my bod into overdrive for the next 15!

Hi I'm Emely, I have two kids ages 5 and 2. I was at my highest weight of 155 after I had my first child. I had my second child and after the pregnancy stayed at 155. Which was a plus. I gained 30lbs with my first and gained nothing with my second. yay!

After my second child turned 1, I started to take my weight lost semi-serious In march of 2010, and lost 5lbs. I stoped for a few months. Then I heard about INSANITY and decided to stick to it, to see if it actually did worked. And it did. That's when I really took my weight lost serious (July, 2010) With in the 1st 60 days I lost 12 lbs. Then took 2 months break, went back to it and lost another 10lbs.

Since then I've platue. I've worked out with very expensive PT, gone to the gym long and crazy hours and nothing seemed to work.

I just weighted myself a few weeks ago and it seemed like I broke the platue, but going the wrong direction. I've gain 5lbs back. I'm now working out with a bootcamp training group which is awesome and local. I work out 4 days a week with them, and 2 days on my own. I have my 30 day assesment on NOV 23, and I'm hoping for good results.

Good luck to all!

I'd like to join in if you don't mind. I have to run out the door right now but I'll be back later to check in again.

*WEEKEND CHANLLENGE*

For Friday-Sunday lets get in at least 5 hours of working out. Come back Sunday/Monday and share your total hours, cals burned (if possible), and what workout(s) you did!

Good luck to all!!:drinker:

That sounds great! Ill have to give it a go. Thanks!!

Hi again! I have about 20 lbs to lose right now b/c my weight went up while I was taking prednisone. But I'm done with the pred now and I hope those pounds that I gained come off as quickly as they just went on. I can hope, right??

Almost all of the weight I have left to lose is in my stomach area--ugh. I'm an apple shape and I still have this huge tire around my middle. I feel sort of stuck with my weight right now.

I like to run but that's going to get really challenging soon with the time change and snow coming soon (in MN). I also do a few Jillian Michaels dvds but I'm looking for some new (fairly inexpensive) ideas to mix it up. I think I might join a gym for the winter months even though we don't really have a lot of extra money. I think it will help my sanity getting through the MN winter.

That's a little about me. I could use a good group for motivation for these last pounds. I'm going to need it!

I would love to join in.

I'm a stay at home mom. I have a 6 year old little girl and a 17 month old little girl. I gained a little extra weight after my first daughter, but never felt motivated to lose it. Then, after my second daughter was born and I started staying home, I got up to about 160 lbs. Since around January I've lost around 30 lbs through myfitnesspal.com, 30 Day Shred, and Insanity. However, I've kind of stalled at about 127, and actually have gone back up to about 130 over the last few days. My goal right now is to lose about 10-15 more pounds, but that will depend on how I look and feel once I get even closer to my goal.
