I started my journey on Jan1 with eating right i added exercise in on Jan 3 since then i am down 7.4 pounds i am hoping when i weigh in tomorrow it will be another 1.5 pounds (judging from getting on the scale this morning, cause i really over ate yesterday with no chance to workout all weekend, i am down from 147 to 145.5!) so i am hoping with being able to burn 1200-1300 calories today in my spinning fusion class and working tonight i will be able to loose my 1.5 to 2 pounds this week.

My husband and i found out we are going on a cruise on Dec 28 offical on Jan 2 hence the weight loss my goal was 20 pounds a week for 10 weeks cause that is when we leave for the cruise...I am not going to hit my goal weight by the cruise and that is ok i feel prettier, skinner, and sexier than i have in almost 4 years!! If my weigh in goes as planned tomorrow i will be at my pre babies weight ( i have two little boys who are 10 months apart, yes we had back to back babies when our first son was 8 weeks old i found i was pregnant again and 3 weeks along, #1 was 5 weeks old when we got pregnant again lol) so i never had the chance to loose the baby weight even tho i only gained 20 and 25 pounds with both of them i still never got rid of the extra baby weight. At my heaviest i weighed almost 170 over the past year i have been able to off and on bring that down to 155 and starting at the 1st of the year bring it down even more.

My goal weight is 130-135 which is my pre-husband weight lol. I am a little bummed that i will not be able to loose my 20 pounds before the we leave but i will and am happy with any weight loss and one that is atleast half of what i was working towards!!! And since we are going with his coworkers i won't feel bad aobut being seen in a bikini in front of them i look good, i feel good!!! I have lost a few inches and along with my weight loss i which the inches lost were more than the weight loss lol can't win for loosing can we? lol it will come off eventually i hope!!!

    how tall are you? i started my journey on nov 19th on mfp, but started my weigh loss on oct 22, i have only lost 8 lbs as of today... i was on 1200 cals a day and eating back my exercise calories. my 1st goal was to loose 10lbs in 2 months for our 1st trip, didn't happen.... i only was down 5. then my second goal was march 20th for trip number 2, i would have 15 lbs off. well now i only have 4 weeks to the day to go and only down 8lbs total since oct ! :( so i doubt i will be hitting my goal again! i upped my calories 2 weeks ago to see if that will help..... i wish you luck to loose as much as you can by the time you go and keep at it when you get back till you hit your goal!
  • I am 5' 6". I stalled a few weeks ago for 2 weeks because of TOM and last week i lost half a pound which at my current weight of 147 i am told that is normal. I weighed this morning just to see how hard i had to work to day (because i over ate a lot of crap) before i offically weigh in and change my weight tomorrow and i was down to 145.6 so i am happy with that...I did a spinning fusion class to day and in 100mins i burned 1423 according to my HRM so i am happy with that!!! Oh i will keep at it i have already checked out the gym with a virtual tour so i will be able to get my cardio in, and we are planning on doing some of the hiking advertures, can't wait for the Mayan ruins!! Thanks for the support!!

    what resort are you going to? i stalled for the entire month of jan, i didn't loose a pound! Last week i finally dropped 1 lbs and i think it has to do with the increase to my calories... we are off to mexico in march and we are going with my inlaws and they think i am crazy that i will hitting the gym while there... but i have to, i'm trying to make a life style change here, so if i can get in at least 3-4 days of cardio i'll be happy. something is going to have to burn off those extra slushy drinks i will be consuming,lol...
