in Motivation and Support
I'm going to Florida in September and I want to get off that chunk of chub I have been holding onto for the past year lol. My goal is 30lbs down by September, may be a crazy goal but if I even get half way there I will be thrilled. If anyone with similar goals wants to join and support that would be awesome!

My motivations:

Fit into my old clothes (or smaller)
Become healthy and not just "skinny fat"
Look great in my bikini (who doesn't want that!)
Be able to gain endurance so I can play tennis and do water sports with my bf.

Age: 23
Height: 5' 9"
Starting weight: 154
Goal weight: 124

    I'm going to Hawaii in August/September. Our goals are similiar! I want to lose 20 pounds by then.

    My motivations:

    "have" to buy new clothes because all mine get to big
    Become healthy and not just "skinny fat"; I've been skinny fat before, so healthy and strong will be a new thing.
    Look amazing in my bikini - I want to have the desire to actually shop for one. lol.
    I want to look good because I look good, not "you look great for having three kids" lol.

    GW 125-130 (kinda a loose goal, as I lose I may readjust that weight depending on measurements, etc.)

    Oh, I'm 5'3". :)

    It's already June and you seem to be at a fairly low weight. If you count to the beginning of September you have approximately 11 weeks? I think 15 lbs might be a more reasonable goal. That said. Lift heavy and eat well and you can have a solid transformation in that time but I wouldn't focus too much on the scale.

    I will readjust depending on how things end up, I have a small frame and I've never really had muscle (or worked out) before so that will definitely make a difference with my end weight. I'm just excited and motivated to lose the chub. What workouts are you guys currently doing or starting and do you like them? I started doing wii personal trainer: more workouts this week and its kicking my butt, I do 20-30 minutes of that (its mostly running and jumping rope) and then pilates on my reformer. I get bored soooo easily though so I hope I can stick with it!! If you guys have any workouts that you love I definitely want to know about them!

    I just finished level one of 30 day shred. I have not gotten bored with it yet. :) The scale hasn't moved much, but my clothes are fitting a bit better already. So, I'm happy and will continue with the workouts.
