Hey guys :) So, I have a ball coming up in a couple of months... The only problem is I bought a (lovely!) dress for it a little while ago, and now, due to a combination of eating too many delicious treats and not doing any exercise, the dress no longer fits... Oops!

When I bought the dress, I was 48kg, and now I'm 53kg... So, I want to lose 5kg. (Don't worry, I'm a shortie, only 153cm, so I'll just be going from a BMI of 23 back to my usual 21). Is 2 months a realistic time frame? Any special tips? Anyone want to join me?

(It's okay if you don't. I'm really just posting this here for accountability, because I know if I don't, it'll be too easy for me to just not bother). Thanksies muchly! :)

    Hi there!!

    I think 5kg (about 11lb) for 9 weeks is realistik - but you really have to be strict!!

    I want to lose about 12kg to reach my beloved BMI of 20. I'm close to 5'8'' ;o)

    If you like, you can add me for motivation and support! I just started the c25k-program - maybe you want to join?

    Fantatic, thank you very much for the replies!

    Shall we have weekly weigh-ins? Say, every Sunday?

    We can also post any difficulties we're having (e.g. in deciding what to eat, in motivating ourselves to exercise, etc), then help each other brainstorm solutions.

    All the best, everyone!

    i think it is very realistic! i lost four kilo's in five weeks without dieting or working out. i was in a place where i had to eat the food i was given and work on the land! if you stay focused then anything is possible! here's a great youtube channel with amazing work outs to help you : http://www.youtube.com/user/blogilates?feature=g-all-u

    I´m in! I feel very stupid asking this, but how does it work? I have never been in a group before and don´t know how to do it. Sorry for sounding stupid....! :embarassed:

    I´m 5´4 and right now 69 kg (152 pound.) I have been on a plateau almost all the time I have been on MFP, but I really want to break it. I´m starting today, august 12´th.

    I'm aiming for 5kg in 2 months too.
    I've just completed week 1 of insanity today - (i've done 2 weeks of the program before but had to take a few weeks off and so have restarted)

    I haven't weighed in yet but from what I've heard, it's more about toning than weight loss.

    How are you planning on going about dropping the 5?
