Who's in? Post everyday, stick to eating well and exercising. When we have other people to rely on, we are less likely to give in. We all want to lose weight, but it's getting the self-control to actually do it. I want to lose about 15 lbs total, so I can wear a bathing suit before summer ends. Who's with me?

    I'm a July baby too -- the 29th! Lioness' rule!
    I'd like to say the 1.5lbs doesn't bother me at all...very likely is water weight left over from my TOM - but there was the 2 glasses of wine or the caramel apple quesadilla or the total lack of exercise last week that might have a smidgen of influence over my weight gain. :grumble:
    no one to blame but myself.
    It's ok, I'm back on track now and looking forward to a great JULY!!

    Great well I started with Fage Yogurt and honey and half a banana, going to go for a run. mornings and afternoons are always easy for me---it's the night that i have trouble resisting anything! Yesterday I ate about 1000 calories in chocolate oh :( It's July so I'm hopeful that our little community will be very productive!

    Happy Thursday everyone!!

    Well I didn't exercise yesterday at all...so much for a great start to the month of July...but I plan to walk today at work for sure. I put a bathing suit on yesterday and honestly it wasn't that bad. But I'm not where I want to be yet so this is the time to refocus and get a move on it!

    Count me in!! I am a Sagittarius!! I want to lose 16 lbs.

    I am currently in my 3rd week day 18 of p90x. We have a formula to lose the weight but I see on here that you guys know how many calories you are supposed to be eating a day. Where'd you get that info from (accurately)? I just ordered a heart rate monitor so I can count how many calories I use in a day but until it comes in, how can I figure that out? According to Tony Horton of Beachbody and p90X, I am supposed to be eating around 2800 calories a day (I use about 1900 for normal bodily functions and going about plus my exercise). Your calorie deficit has to about 1000 or higher, so if I eat 2800 and my body uses 1900 of those, then I have around 900 left. According to the "geniuses", I am supposed to lose 2 lbs a week doing this. You have to use the formula of 50/30/20, meaning 50% protein, because muscle burns fat, 30 %carbs for fuel, and 20% fat (just because your body needs SOME fat too!!!

    Let me know if you guys have some other info or formulas to use!!!

    Let's BRING IT!! (as Tony says).....

    I love it!! I am seeing lots of inches lost. I am on Day 25 of 90. I bought it through ebay so it really wasn't that expensive, about the price of a good meal for 2.
