good luck girls.
what diets or health eating plans do you all follow and what exercise do you do0 -
I just make sure I'm under my allowed calories per day. No aclohol. Planing my meals for the next day is
a winner with me cause I stick with it. Im with MFP 2 weeks now and have lost 12lbs. I dont exercise YET, but am getting
my head around it. Its my Birthday tomorrow and Im getting kettlebells, stepper and a few other bits to start me off....0 -
i am also eating less than my allowance and i have started a fitness plan too. i go to aqua arobics and zumba, i have bought myself a WII but im not too keen on the game i got with it, so think i will have a look to see what else i can find. (down side to living in the isle of man) shops are not to good. may have to get on line and do some shopping.0

I'm in. After this week I need all the motivation I can possibly get. My exercise was great this week, but my eatting definitely sucked. I wanna drop a total of 18lbs by Christmas/New Years, but I'll settle for 10-12lbs by Christmas.
I'm still testing the waters with the cal intake. I'm trying to see what works for my body. I weigh in tomorrow and have Church tonight. Hopefully I can get a circuit workout in tonight afterwards.0 -

welcome to the challange .. how is this going for everyone, first weigh in on sat moning peeps..
not too sure how i have done this week to be honest as it was TOM and after i set the challange i put 3lb on over night.. i havent adjusted my weight on here cos i think i would sit and cry, but 2 lb is back off already and still a full day to go.. and i have done no exercise at all (had band cramps for the last 2 days and the 2 days before that i was recovering from the walk i did..)
but hey ho weekend is just round the cornier and i will be fighting fit by then0 -

I weighed in this morning. For this challenge:
Last week weight SW: 195
week 1 CW: 192.2
GW: 177
What all are we doing in this challenge?0 -
I weigh in every Thursday.... On 11/3 I dropped 4 lbs
My plan is to stay under my calorie goal and exercise 4x weekly. I have no issues with the calories during the week but really struggle on the weekends. I work out at my lunch time (we have a gym at work) and am finding that when I don't work out my mood starts to decline. I haven't gone to the gym in years but am really liking it, to my surprise.
SW: 219
CW: 215
GW: 200 by Xmas
Final GW: 1600 -

I'd also like to join!
My name is Nick and I have around 40-50 pounds to lose. I've struggled off and on with weight all my life, but the last 3 years have really been the worst. I'm currently at 208 pounds, which is 2 off of my peak weight. My healthy weight tends to be between 160 & 170. So far my current goal weight is 185, because it's been around 3 years since I've been in the 180s and I think that would really motivate me to go the extra 15-20 pounds. I've always had an active lifestyle, but since I graduated from law school, got a job where I don't have the flexibility that school gave me, got married, and moved out of Center City Philadelphia, I've really lost my active habits. As a result, my eating (which has never been perfect) really got the better of me. I have a number of reasons for wanting to change things now. My wife and I are expecting a baby boy in less than 3 months. I really want to be healthy for him and her, and to have the energy needed to be an active participating parent. I don't want to always be tired and sluggish. I'm an avid tennis player, but I now find myself playing a level or two below my norm because of the extra weight and not enjoying the sport that I've played since I was a kid.
I tracked calories for about a month, maybe 6 months ago, and I got myself down to 191.8, which felt incredible! When I stopped tracking my eating, I soon began to return to my old habits, and next thing you know- BAM- 208! That's almost 20 pounds back on in less than 6 months.
I really need support to take this one day at a time, stick with it, and if I miss a day, get right back on track. I need people who are struggling like I am to hold me accountable, because only we know what a struggle this can be, but that we can overcome it with the proper motivations.
The best Christmas gift I could receive would be to be back under 200 pounds by Christmas. If I am at 194 by then, that would be awesome!0 -
IM IN 0
