    sounds doable right? I hope so! Guess the purpose of this post is to 1. See if anyone has any tips to keep me going (I'm a terrible snacker and love candy!) and 2. See if anyone else might want to jump on the wagon to reach the same goal?

    Tips, love and motivation all welcome and appreciated! Goodness knows I'll need it!

    Hey! Im in! 5kgs in 5 weeks! Good luck everyone.

    Im with you, I love eating candy too! Its hard for me to stop once I start, so I just say NO to myself. Dont start, then you dont have to TRY and stop!!!
    Also, chewing gum helps me.

    Feel free to add me, if any one wishes.

    Yay I'm another kiwi looking to shed some kilos before xmas! My biggest problem seems to be finding enough time in the day to do excersise what with 2 young girls to run around after 24/7. I have been doing the 30 day shred for about a week or so and towards the end of level one am definitely finding it to be a bit too easy. Would love some tips on healthier eating as well. I have been eating salads nearly every day but there always seems to be something that catches me out over the course of the day :smile:

    I would like to join in too.. hopefully this will kick start my journey to losing the 15 kg I need to lose ! I have lost a couple of inches the past few weeks, but the weighing scale refuses to budge :( Will exercise of 45 minutes thrice a week be sufficient along with calorie restricted to 1300 net?

    I just searched this and look! :bigsmile: So glad I found this group... I really want to lose 5kg by 23 Dec.
    I've completed 30DS last week and lost 5kg and 32cm overall. But I didn't do it in 30 days, rather 40 days. Started it again this morning and hoping to get same figures for good results... but I'm not sure... its like I've hit a plateau. :grumble:

    Oh I'm from South Africa by the way. :smile:

    Any tips, advice etc would be great!

    I'm totally keen!!! I have 5 kgs to go to hit my ultimate goal weight, and lose weight very slowly, but I would just love to do this! I seem to go about 3 weeks with no loss, then drop about 0.5 - 1 kg, and then a 3 week plateau again. I keep hoping the cycle is going to change and my body is just going to kick into gear and the weight will come off.

    I exercise 6 x a week. 3 x cardio at gym and 6 x exercise dvd. I've just done 2 rounds of 30 Day Shred (no rest days) and now I'm doing my first round of Ripped in 30 (just started week 3, and she recommends 1 rest day a week).

    I would give anything to lose these last 5 kgs, so I really am totally in and ready to join you! I snack on raw almonds (10 a day), rice cake with fat free smooth cottage cheese), lite wholewheat crackers with marmite, veggies sticks, an apple. etc.

    Good luck!

    Sambo004, I experience EXACTLY what you just described with my own weight loss.... 3 week plateau, one kilo drop.... over and over again. I have an under-active thyroid, so it's painfully slow! But be encouraged, at least its going down! I understand it can be discouraging, especially when everyone else seems to lose so much quicker. But slow loss means permanent changes in our lifestyle.. and that is really what we are after. Best wishes on your 5 in 5!

    Started at 76.4kg (168lbs) on Saturday, 75.9kg (167lbs) this morning but that is before breakfast - nice to see a 75 though right! I'd love to be at 70.9kg by Christmas, cos then I'd be so close to the 60s!!
