If you belong to a gym, try taking fitness classes. I'm so bad at regulating workouts myself, I always quit before my goal. But in fitness classes it's embarrassing to quit before the end, and I end up working harder because everyone around me is working hard! That's what got me through the defeat... now that I am more in…

Hey! I'm 28 and have about 20-30 pounds to lose. I feel like my metabolism has slowed down a little because it is harder to lose weight than it used to be, but it was definitely my bad habits and laziness that got me here! I'm working on controlling my cravings, eating healthier and exercising regularly. Anyone can feel…

This post makes me feel so much better! Over Christmas I reached my top weight and had to soak my hand in freezing cold water and oil down my finger to get my engagement ring off.

Hey! I'm 5'5 165. My motivation is knowing how much harder it is to lose a pound than it is to gain one back!

Welcome back! I'm in almost the same boat, i just recently moved from working nights to days so I feel like I now have no excuses not to eat healthy and exercise so I can be at a healthy weight before I try to get pregnant! Good luck and feel free to add me, lots of support is the key!

Thanks for the advice! I got back to the gym yesterday and am tracking again. I decided that Sunday I will get on the scale. It really helps just having an outlet for these thoughts and motivation from other people, so thank you!

Having support and tracking your food really does help with sticking to it! welcome, and feel free to add me :)

I'm a librarian, non-knitter, but I also had my honeymoon in Jamaica! Welcome!

Starting a day late! I love this workout but have never successfully completed the whole thirty days (in a row, that is!) My starting weight is 163 and I would love to be under 160 by christmas, with a goal of 155 or less by the end of december.

This is great! Thank you! Added myself :)

Great challenge! It's nice to have something to work for to keep me honest during the holidays! Height: 5'5" Current weight : 162 12/25 goal weight: 155 UGW: 135
