Hey everyone!

I need to lose like 14 Ilbs but I want to lose something like 28Ilbs. Hey, shoot for the moon, if you miss at least you'll be among the stars!

There are a lot of motivational groups etc on here for people who want to lose circa 100 Ilbs so I want to start a new club!

I started here a couple of weeks ago but was on holiday last week and with the service stations and family food I haven't dared weigh myself. I started afresh yesterday and would like to offer support / receive any!

My goal is 2Ilbs this week. I'm going to weigh myself on Monday morning.

    I have 12 pounds to go!! I have lost 5 so far (I started MFP in February). My goal is 1 pound per week. I am a mom, wife, student, employee - so time is limited for me. I try and walk on the treadmill while I study in the evenings. It's tough!! Just with the 5 pounds gone I can feel my jeans feeling more baggy - that is a GREAT feeling ..... I just can't wait until I reach my goal and I can go SHOPPING!!

    I think a motivation group would be GREAT!! It will keep me going!

    I am also in the Memorial Day Challenge - so this group will help me reach my goal for that as well!

    :drinker: Here's to the 28 lbs. or Less Club!! :drinker:

    Im In!! I need to lose about 10 more lbs to be happy. I have tons to motivate me.
    My husband, kids, the summer coming up and my trip to Vegas in May. I go to the gym almost everyday and "try" to eat as healthy as possible, but the pounds are still there. I am, however, losing inches, but I want that scale to start moving.
    Everyone says "you're so skinny" but noone sees what's REALLY under my clothes. I DO!! and I don't like it. I went to the gym last night in a pair of shorts and tank top. I did a few exercises in front of the mirror and was DISGUSTED with my body. I can only imagine what others see or think when they see me...YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi! I turn 29 this year(which might as well be thirty), just had my 3rd baby, celebrating 8th year of marriage to high school sweetheart - so we have 14 years in- had 10 year HS reunion this summer, sent first born to kindergarten, basically I can't add AND I GOT FAT to that list! I'll just feel like an antique! I have 20 lbs. to lose to get me back to the weight I was before my first baby was born five years ago. My hubbie offered to count calories with me but keeps suggusting he does not really need to lose weight. I am beginning to think he brought up dieting as an alternative to asking me to drop a few! I believe in strength in numbers and would love to be a part of this group!

    I'll play!!! I hit a standstill a couple months ago and finally started losing again. I had a baby girl Dec of 06 and as of today I am 1lb from my prebaby weight. I'd like to lose about 10lbs total. more would be great but i'm not going to push it. I'm married and in the military stationed in Japan. Makes it a little harder to count the calories when I eat off base but I do what I can. Good luck everyone and I have faith in all of you!!!! :happy:

    Every time anyone dares to compliment how super I look-for just having 3rd baby- I feel a strong need to reply. "Well, that's because I'm not naked". You make a great point. The comments of others to add up to much if you don't feel the same way.

    xmimi - I'm in... 27 lbs to lose... You said something interesting about shooting for a weight too low...

    I've been thinking the same thing... losing 27lbs for me might be near impossible, maybe I should lower that goal? Everyone says I will be skin and bones at 27 more lbs, but I figure why not try, right? I know Angelina Jolie doesn't weigh 130 lbs!

    My dear you can only see my face FOR A REASON.

    Serisouly I did my bmi thing on here and iVillage and it says to put in your frame.

    How to determine your build = wrap your index finger and thumb around your wrist. If your fingers overlap you are SMALL frame, if they touch you are MEDIUM frame and if they don't touch you are large frame. This contributes to your bmi.

    My fingers overlap, it said "your are clearly overweight" so I tried medium frame just to see if it made a different and it still said I was over weight! I am definitely not a large build so I think that proves I need to lose the weight. My ideal weight according to this is 8 stone 13 Ilbs and I am soo way off!!!! :cry:

    Thanks so do you! :happy: You made my day.

    I want my bmi to be like 19 or so so I have a "few" numbers to minus there :wink:

    I have just looked at YOUR pictures and I think maybe you should take some Ilbs off of your goal. 30Ilbs? That's mega extreme like size zero extreme, I'd say like 14 Ilbs tops for you young lady!

    Thanks Xmimi! The one pic (of the family) is about 20+ lbs from what I am now - so that is not good - but I'm feeling much better and slimmer since then! No size zero for me - I'm hoping for a 4 or 6!

    AJCM- If you look like skin and bones after you have lost your weight it should be easy enough to put some back on...that IS what has brought us all together!

    Me neither. Why the idea for this came to me. An epiphany. Good luck for your weigh in!

    I feel your pain audmn... (i hope i spelled it correctly). According to the new air force fitness standards i need to have something like a 26 inch waist to get max points for that. currently i think i'm a 32 1/2 so i've got a way to go... i've already lost 2 inches in the past 3 weeks so i'm excited but i can't even imagine myself that small... i just have to keep reminding myself to take baby steps. i'm one of those who wants to see change instantly... i'm so impatient!!!

    i noticed you brought up kcals... that's how everything runs here in japan also... any idea what the comparison is between a kcal and calories? it would sure make the counting a whole lot easier!!!

    I weigh in on Tuesday's. So ..... we'll count my yesterday's weigh in as my first one. :tongue:

    04/01/08 weigh in ..... 141.5 pounds.

    OK - there's my starting point. My ultimate goal is 130 pounds sooooooo 11.5 pounds to go!!

    As a side note ..... when I started MFP in February I was at 146 pounds so I've lost 4.5 pounds officially.

    Here we go!!!! Keep me motivated!!!!!


    How 'bout a Club Motto ...... any ideas?? :smile:
