Anyone want to join me and lose 6 lbs by Feb 29?

Anyone want to join me? I thought it would be a good idea to set a small goal for myself so I can stay on track for my overall goal and try and lose 6 lbs by the end of Feb. Currently I weigh 175.8 and if I lose 6 lbs by the end of Feb that would put me in the 160's!!!! I haven't been there in a LONG time. I thought we would start tomorrow with the first weigh in and then post our weights every Monday, then our final weight Feb 29 which is a Friday. Also put your height, current weight and starting weight.

I'm so with all of you (although I have a lot more than 6 pounds to lose!) I am:

 42 years old

Height -  5'9"

Starting weight Jan. 13 -- 265 lbs.

Today -- 243 lbs.

Feb 29th goal -- 237 lbs!

Final goal -- 165 lbs

 Thanks for the motivation! (my daughter just came down and asked me if I wanted to get Chinese food with her -- this motivation came just in time!!!)

I read this a couple days ago and could not find the group till now...

I started at 191

I am at 187.6

I want to be at 155 by June 30th

I feel great....I need to stop weighing myself every other day...because so far I have only lost weight but if I gain a pound my confidence might be shot!!!

i want to join!!

guys  - i worked out again tonight!! I did weigh myself and i was down 2 pounds... but i OVER DID IT on pasta and bread tonight :( Guess i'll have to hit the gym extra extra hard tomorrow!

I worked out again too but DAMN IT I am not losing any weight!! My boss bought me lunch today for my birthday & I had half a club so now I only have 20 calories left for the rest of the day!!! Totally bummed.

well if it's almost your birthday - then i'd say it's ok to splurge... right?! Half a club doesn't sound TOO bad... could be a lot worse!! I had LOTS of pasta - way more then needed and 4 breadsticks! I thought about working out twice lol... but i was way too tired to go again. To make things worse... my mom made rice pudding tonight. Of course i just couldn't resist. Tomorrow's a new day!

I will join too!

Sunshine, your name says it all! ha ha. You are very optimistic--I like it! I did work out tonight and went grocery shopping & got LOTS of healthy stuff so that's something.

meganmudge   lol - i wish i was ALWAYS optimistic!! I just know how it feels to mess up, and it's always nice to have encouraging words, right?! That's good that you got healthy foods - i'm gonna try to eat really well today since i splurged on pasta yesterday (mmmm my favorite!)

I can't wait to workout today!! I think i'm getting a little obsessed!

 

fairydust - i would count that 1 point! You lost it this week... it counts :) 

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you all know how my first week is going...after 4 days I am down 4.2 lbs! Woo hoo! Almost to our February goal already, although the next two will probably be more difficult. Hope you are all doing well also!

i said i'd join, but i just realized there is no way i can lose 6 pounds in 3 weeks.. so ill go for 3 lbs.

kelly27 - congrats!! I wish i could do that!

I went today and worked my BUTT off... however - i ate a candy bar :( My friend bought all this junk food and i just couldn't resist... plus - my mom and i are making a mocha tofu pie tonight... i know, sounds weird - but somewhat healthy! 

Kelly27, I am so jealous!! ha ha. I haven't lost a pound. I actually went up two, then back down two. On my way to the gym, wish me luck! Oh hey, what exercises do you guys recommend for the fastest results?

I'm in!!!!

Hi I am new to this, but I would love to join and I am up for the challenge to lose 6 lbs by feb 29th. My name is Nikki and I am 5'4 my starting weight is 125 and My goal weight is 110, hopefully (fingers crossed) by March 31, 2008.  Looking foward to this and making some great friends!

Ugh, I don't think i'll ever be able to lose these last (was 5, now about 7!) lbs!

I just ate a huge dinner and dessert (as I do EVERY night, and I tell myself NO! But, I still do!)

THEN, I made banana bread for my boyfriend. I ate A LOT of it. With honey! It was the high calorie type of banana bread. Considering every low calorie bread that I bake taste horrible! I feel so bad. On my one night that I don't work out, too.

I shoot for 1500 on no work out days, and I ate about 2300 today! Ha-ha-ha!

I do so well during the day, but, then at night, it's always the same. Pasta, veggies, protein and some sauce. THEN, the chocolatey goodness.

 

I am pathetic. :/

 

I am the same way, don't feel bad! Just don't give up & keep trying to tell yourself no. Oh, Smart Ones makes really yummy desserts for only 150 cals too!

ugh - i did really bad yesterday AND today! My friend came over and i made him dinner... but then we ended up making dessert too :( I did workout for 1 1/2, but STILL.... i basically blew it by eating too much!

meganmudge - as far as doing something for the fastest results... i don't really know. Maybe cardio? Lots of it lol!! If i knew - i would have been doing it a long time ago! I think i've probably gained back the 2 pounds i lost... after these past 2 days! And sunday we're having my aunts birthday party at my house - urghhh! 

I want in! Is it too late?

 I just started counting/losing, so I should be able to drop 2/ week until the end of the month. Thank God it's a leap year!
