I'm in a similar position, 150lbs at 5'5" and just on the cusp of healthy and overweight according to BMI. Though I've dropped about 70 lbs so far, I've been stuck at 150 forever - though admittedly I haven't been strict with my diet or workout recently. This week I started tracking what I eat more closely and have started…

A roast sounds great! Maybe cook it with a bunch of veggies (carrots, onions, etc.) and offer them as the side in addition to a salad? Asparagus or roasted brussel sprouts are also great options. Have unsweetened ice tea as an option for drinks in addition to whatever else you want. And have fun!

I've run 7.2 miles so far this week, I have 2.8 miles to run before Sunday to meet my 10 mile goal. I plan on running another 5k tomorrow morning (I'm doing alternating rest days for running). I drank two 4.4% beers last night and woke up with a killer headache lol...my tolerance is silly low. I have 2 more beers allotted…

My tailbone on the bathtub when I take a bath is super painful lol. I can run a 5k, easy. I did it Tuesday, I'll do it again tomorrow morning. No biggie. I used to have a hard time running between telephone poles - it's amazing how much easier running is when you weigh 70 lbs less. Yay everyone!

I'm 26 and am working on my last 7-9 kg (15-20 lbs). Anyone, please feel free to add me!

You do realize you have to come back and tell us, right? :wink:

I've been 150 +/- 2 lbs for months now....so it's time to mix it up! I'm pledging to run 10 miles this week, and drink only 4 beers. This will be tough because it's cold, and rainy, and I have a couple of social functions coming up. My Valentines goal weight is the point between healthy and overweight BMI - and I'm going…

Ah, I'm still stuck fluctuating around 150 lbs, so I've decided to revamp my diet. I will refocus on eliminating processed carbs (I've been caving a lot lately) and more fully eliminate them through limiting my beer consumption. This week I will only drink 4 beers. This includes Thursday movie night, Friday happy hour, and…

In 2015 I will:* Hit and maintain my goal weight * Increase my fitness and endurance levels, especially in cycling * Lower my alcohol consumption * Get married!

Yes please! I'm slipping over the holidays and could definitely use the motivation. Valentine's or St Patrick's sounds great to me.

Same here!

Hey! I'm down 70 lbs, looking to lose about 10-15 more. These last few pounds have been a struggle. Add me if you'd like, it'd be great to chat more.

I'm in finals week, so the predominant amount of my free time will be dedicated to that. Here are my goals for today:* Eat well (no processed carbs), drink only water, tea, and coffee * Get some sort of exercise in, even if it's just crunches and push-ups between studying * Take the time to put bedroom blinds up

Back down to 148. I want to be 140 by the time I see my sister again in early January. Last time I saw her, I was 160. Before that, 220. It's been kinda fun shocking her lol. So here are my goals for the rest of the weekend: * NO processed carbs - that includes beer! * Drink tons of water and tea * Throw in some push-ups…

Oh Jeez! My weight has been steadily creeping up and I need to put an end to it! Back to zero processed carbs. I biked to work today and I'm planning on doing this 3 times a week. Went for a 3 mile run over the weekend - I WILL do this 3 times a week. I WILL be 145 by the New Years.

* Eat well. * Get ahead w/ schoolwork so I can enjoy my 6 year anniversary this weekend. * Submit scholarship essays. * Drink lots o' water and tea. I know most of these goals aren't fitness related per se, but it's great for me to have a list and stay goal oriented in general. Happy Hump Day!

Happy Birthday SilverStormi! Here are my goals for the day:* Eat well * Get some sort of exercise in * Schoolwork! (T-minus 1 month!)

Thanks for the input, guys. You definitely gave me some things to think about.

amen!

Oh God! The horror that is post-Halloween gluttony! I've probably eaten about a billion extra calories this weekend in sweets. That's my rough estimate, at least :wink: I went on a 30 mile bike ride this morning. For the rest of the day I will eat well (no more chocolate!) and drink only water, tea, and coffee if I need…

Happy Halloween! I missed my goal by one pound, but I'm super pumped to continue my progress in the next challenge. Looking forward to setting up the next spreadsheet and setting an attainable goal. I'm down to my last 15 lbs or so, so progress is very slow. I've started to make fitness gains, though, and am getting…

I'm down to 147 lbs from 220 at my highest. I have gone down from a 14+ pant size to a 6! I don't want to invest in a new wardrobe until I'm settled at my ideal weight (probably around 135), so for the time being I only really have one pair of pants that fit at a time LOL. I'm blessed to work in a casual-dress business,…

Thanks SilverStormi!

Tress, Sounds like fun (I was a marching band kid myself)! I'm actually really excited about trick or treaters since this is my first Halloween in my new house - and there's a lot of neighborhood kids. Nice costume ideas Silver and Diana!

Dipped down to 147 lbs yesterday - the lowest I've ever weighed in. Back up to 150 this morning though (I weigh myself the same way/time each day). Here are my goals: - Morning workout routine - check! - Eat well - Take a run with my pup after work

Eat high protein meals, and snack on fruits and veggies. I stay away from processed carbs because they make me insatiably hungry and they tend to be high in calories. This is my personal opinion and what works for me, though - I know a lot of people don't mesh well with low carb diets. What do you do where you do that much…

I'm down for either option - looking forward to continuing with the group! I'm facing my last 15 lbs or so...it's very daunting.

Back down to 149 this morning. Hoping to get down to 148 by next weigh-in. Today I will: 1) Do my 2.5 mile run 2) Eat well, no processed carbs 3) Drink lots o' water 4) Complete / get ahead on my schoolwork so that I can have a fun weekend

1) Wake up workout routine - check 2) Drink only tea, coffee, and water 3) No processed carbs 4) 2.5 mile run this evening w/pup

5' 5" SW: 220 CW: 149 GW: 145 Ultimate goal weight will probably end up around 135. Not too worried about the number, more concerned about how I look and feel.
