my wedding is in 2.5 months and i want to lose 10 pounds before the big day. looking for some support and challenges. i am eliminating sugar and most processed foods as a strategy.

panko!

I have a Body Fat monitor (http://www.healthstatus.com/blog/bodyfattesting/omron-2/omron-hbf-306c-fat-loss-monitor-black/) and it works great. I saw a nutritionist for awhile and she highly recommended this one.

i'm in for 10-12 pounds by valentine's day.

hang in there. there are no quick solutions, unfortunately. you're on the right track, just as long as the scale keeps going down instead of up.

I usually eat over my calorie goal on the weekends, but like others have said I view this process as overall behavior change so my cheats these days are rarely like in the pre-MFP days.

I did okay, all things considered. My BF and I planned a strenuous 4.5 hour hike that took up the middle part of the day. On our way there we stopped at IHOP and I managed to consume 1,000 calories on pancakes, but used them up in the hike. Dinner was another 1,000. It was a planned eating day, so it didn't feel like crazy…

totally in!

nice job! you're such an inspiration.

welcome! you're going to find a lot of support here so post early and often! congratulations on your new commitment. there is a lot of inspiration here.

i'm in that boat! welcome to the site, it's really helpful even for smaller weight loss goals.

hi, i was just diagnosed with and underactive thyroid so this thread is very helpful. my doc tested me three times and my TSH is a 9, well over the upper limit of 4. i'm going on synthroid starting today and hope it helps. i've gained about 15 pounds in the past 3 years despite a very active lifestyle and good to so-so…

what is the weigh-in day for this challenge? and should we all plan to post our weight loss on that day?

I've heard that treadmill running is easier and should feel easier because there isn't any wind or change in terrain. I typically run faster on the treadmill (but like running outside better).

I'm in. I have 15 lbs to lose but would like to do it by Xmas/New Years. Thanks for starting this thread!

hey there, i have had a lot of success with low carb too and am trying it again. i just started on tuesday but so far so good. i have about 15 pounds to lose. good luck!
