Get ready for summer weight loss club - join here!

kallison · Apr 29th, 2007, 06:39 PM

count me in! my last weight loss attempt bombed because i give up if i don't have support!

overall goal of losing 75 lbs...but let's start slow first.

i can do my best to cut out junk, but i don't think the alcohol will go without a fight!

Count me in:) I was making good (not great) progress in the beginning of the year, but due to work and school I started to fall behind. I am ready to start up this week.

Litigatrix · Apr 29th, 2007, 09:55 PM

OK, I am on this. My goal is to lose 10 lbs. I have already lost about 1.5-2 (yay, small victory)! I lose about 25 lbs 2.5 years ago, and a few have crept back on.

So far, I am just trying to eat healthy and mostly cut out sweets. One bite of chocolate bunny a day, heheh.

BTW, I have an amazing recipe for this white bean, fettucini, and prosciutto soup. It is about 400 cals for a large bowl, and sooo delicious and easy to make. It has an incredible amount of fiber and yum. That's what I had for lunch today. PM me for the recipe. It also has a potato and tomatoes in it.

Great thread to motivate one another!

I need to stop snacking so much, I have a bad snack habit and need to tone up! I'll join!

Pinkcaviar · Apr 29th, 2007, 10:29 PM

Count me in! I had to lose 15 pounds in February and now 10 more pounds to go! Some progress, but I need to speed it up and stop eatting junk! I'm a sucker for anything deep fried!

Newgrlonthebloc · Apr 29th, 2007, 10:42 PM

I need to tone up a little. So I'm in! I'm normally a healthy eater but since Easter I've picked up snacking on the wrong things....lol. I've stopped in the last couple of weeks and have gotten back on track. I workout 4-6 days per week. I used to be strict about doing 6 days but have lately fallen into doing 4. I'm going to start back doing 6.
This will keep me motivated and I'd like to help motivate others as well!

I have all the info for Weight Watchers so I am planning on following that and doing the online program.

So, if you need to lose weight and have a goal come and join me!

I'm the same size as you----well at least I am an 8-10 on bottom normally (love my size---not trying to gain or lose...just keep fit and tone up). I'm a 4-6 on top.

I know what you mean about not getting to the size 12. That's how I think. I am happy as long as I am at the measurements (I do not weigh on the scale...lol...I go by my measurements and feel of my clothing alone) that keep me in my size 8-10's....I know I'm at a healthy weight. If I feel my 10's getting tight (they are usually too big) then that's when I know to make changes too....lol. I NEVER buy the larger size..I just scale back eating and workout more... that's my trick to never getting above a size 10.

you guys are already a motivation! took the first jog with my dog in a LONG while. it felt great!

katheryn · Apr 29th, 2007, 11:16 PM

I went for another walk today, and then lifted some weights. I am about to dig into my turkey meatloaf. I used oats instead of breadcrumbs to make it healthier! Good luck, everyone.

envyme · Apr 29th, 2007, 11:27 PM

Count me in!!! I want to lose 10 pounds. Let's get this party started!!!!!!

robyn · Apr 29th, 2007, 11:35 PM

I am SO in!

I am 10 pounds heavier than my avi pic & was 5 pounds overweight then, so I need to lose 15 pounds and then see how I look in a swimsuit

SunnyFreckles · Apr 29th, 2007, 11:58 PM

I love the idea of a weigh-in...public post, yes?!? No?!? Doesn't matter to me...just keep me posted!! I AM SO EXCITED!!

MichelleAntonia · Apr 30th, 2007, 04:10 AM

can i join even though i dont want to weigh myself?

im in good physical shape, but ive still got a bit of a layer of fat holding on that i'd like to get rid of. 10lbs probably, i dont think any more.

my problem isn't really eating, and it's not exercising per se, but when things get REALLY stressed, my consistency with the gym tapers off to a couple times, when it really should be more like 5. so i'll join you ladies to keep me accountable through may & june!

good luck everyone!

nat_attak · Apr 30th, 2007, 05:36 AM

i'm in! i recently joined the gym. my first goal is to lose 10 lbs, but i'd love to lose 20 by the end of the year. good luck everyone!

I don't like the idea of weighing in. I used to be a SLAVE to the scale and it was unreal. I'm a perfectionist and I was borderline NUTS about it! I had to be a specific number or the world would end! I'd weigh myself all day. I can't go back to that. I haven't weighed myself in over 5 years. When I go to the doctor I get weighed of course--but I turn away from the numbers...lol. They always laugh at me and think I'm a hoot because they say my weight is perfect. I just ask them to tell me if I am within my healthy range and they always say "Perfect"...lol. No numbers involved. They do record it on my chart of couse but I never see it...lol.
I know I'm around a specific weight but I won't weigh myself. I don't own a scale.
I take my measurements and this has been the best approach for me.

I hope I can still participate even though I won't do the weigh-ins.
